An Eye for Real Moments
We chase the in-between, the laugh, the glance, the quiet hand-hold, so your photos feel like you, not a stiff pose.
Kramer Photographers is an independent portrait and event studio that has documented Naperville for years. Relaxed sessions, an eye for the moments that matter, and fine prints you'll be proud to hand down, from newborns to weddings to headshots.

We chase the in-between, the laugh, the glance, the quiet hand-hold, so your photos feel like you, not a stiff pose.
No rushing and no awkward direction. We keep things easy and fun so kids, couples, and families actually enjoy the shoot.
From fine-art prints to heirloom albums, we finish your story on materials made to be passed down for generations.
One studio for every chapter, first portraits, senior year, the big day, and the headshot that lands the job.



Our roots here run deep: the studio first opened in 1965 as LaRoi Studios, and Bob Kramer, who founded Kramer Photographers in 1971, acquired LaRoi in 1991. We're right on North Washington Street, but you'll find us all over Naperville, in backyards and parks, at weddings and graduations, in delivery rooms and corner offices. Wherever the moment is, we show up ready to catch it honestly, without the stiff posing or the rush.
Photography, for us, is about what you'll still want to look at in twenty years. So we take our time, we make the session feel easy, and we finish every story on prints and albums made to be handed down, not lost on a hard drive. From a baby's first portrait to a couple's first dance, we'd be honored to make yours.
A look at the families, couples, and faces we've had the joy of photographing.
