Buschauer Portraits - Barrington, Illinois

I really enjoyed my photo session with Al. He’s super fun to work with, and he did an absolutely amazing job with my professional headshots!

Al has been photographing me and my family since I was a toddler. I remember the halls of my childhood home filled with our portraits, some of which I have now in my own home as an adult. He always had a way with us as kids and knew exactly how to capture the most perfect moment. Now having a family of my own, Al has continued to capture those moments for me ever since my daughter was a baby. I am so grateful for his talent and gift as a true artist!

Working with Al was a wonderful experience, his personality, and creative skills were only
exceeded by his ability to relax us and get genuine expressions
The time spent on the session was enjoyable.

When we viewed the images, the presentation was great and his assistance in helping us pick out our favorites was helpful. The expressions he captured were so real and natural we were very pleased, he is more than a photographer he is an artist

Our greatest priceless treasures are the images we selected, displayed, and shared with family.

Over many years, Al’s portraits have provided an intimate chronology of our sons’ growth from infancy to adulthood. The first time we saw Al’s work hanging in the Ice House Mall in Barrington it took my breath away, and the first portraits he took of our boys were so amazing they brought me to tears. Al has an innate knack for putting his subjects totally at ease, and that leads to the most wonderful results. I would give him 15 stars if I could! A Buschauer portrait is definitely an investment, but one worth making. Al’s portraits of our boys are among our most prized possessions.

We treasure the portraits Al has done for our family. Our daughter is a dancer and an equestrian. Al captured her grace, power and independent, loving spirit in each setting numerous times. It was difficult to choose which portraits to frame because there were always so many we loved. I enjoyed working with Al, a fellow animal and nature lover. He is truly an artist. If only we had done more family portraits.....

We can't say enough about Al and his work! We have been using Al for our family portraits since shortly after moving to the Barrington area 14 years ago. He is professional and so fun to work with, puts everyone at ease including our pets. We could not be happier with the finished products we have purchased from Al and look forward to working with him in the future as our family grows. We highly recommend Al!!!

We have worked with Al Buschauer for many years now, for our engagement, wedding and family portraits and we always are thrilled with his beautiful portraits. His attention to detail and skill in capturing a great picture, even when dealing with children ,is amazing. Love working with Al and Savanah!

As a child, I had many portraits taken by Al. It was a fun event that my sister and I did almost annually. I still remember the anticipation of waiting to see the end result and which photo my parents would choose to hang in our home. Even as a child, I admired those portraits, and they are treasures that I still have to this day. Fast forward many decades later, I am now a mom and have had the privilege of Al taking portraits of my little girl. It’s almost as if I can see her growing up through each photo he has taken of her. His ability to capture her true character in a photo is profound. I am beyond grateful that I have these memories and I am forever thankful to Al for these precious gifts.
