family photographer Krystal Shuga Photography offers portrait sessions in Rockford Illinois. Chicago, Madison Wisconsin and surrounding. 

Our photos tell stories. But not scary ghost stories. I mean, like, the stories that dreams are made of. Like when love conquers all, and our daydreams become real life, and the story of when life seems overwhelming or hard it starts becomes a story of strength and creates a world that makes everyone see more beauty and hope . These are the stories we tell. 

A look, a kiss, and the moments that bring us back, we are the real deal.

Capturing connection
