My name is Gloria J. Allen, CEO and Founder of GeesPhotography3 & Design Inc., Home of the Rustic Studio located in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Graduate of the University of St. Francis in Joliet, IL with a degree in Art, Design and Photography. Proficient in Adobe Suite Programs, Videography and Colorization of Photos.
Photography is not just a job. It’s a passion; it’s a way of life. It gives me great joy to create images that excite and exceed client’s expectations. I am thrilled to take my hobby and turn it into a business. However, I quickly realized in order to be successful I needed to master the tools needed to make phenomenal pictures and went back to school. I found anyone can “take” a photograph, but to “make” a photograph is an entirely different experience. Because what you are really paying for is the photographer’s vision.
Photography is the only language recognized throughout the world. Photography is about the eye of the photographer having the skills to see, capture, create and understand the needs and requirements of the client. To deliver an exceptional product that exceeds the expectations of each client is a wonderful feeling. I enjoy working with people and focus on providing our clients with excellent service in a comfortable and relaxed environment that makes them feel welcomed.
I am an artist, a creator, an inspirer and a dreamer; nothing me as much as excitement quite like my ability to create. I have an excellent eye for detail. We use different styles and techniques as we create outstanding results that last a lifetime for our clients. We bring enthusiasm, expertise and a creative flair to every project. We simply use the camera as a tool to showcase our talent. Photography is a gift and talent given to me by God and I am excited to share it with you.
