ABOUT ROBIN SLOAN

PHOTOGRAPHER & OWNER OF RIVERBEND STUDIO

I grew up hearing the name Riverbend Studio all my life.  My mother was
an artist and brought Riverbend to life 25 years ago.  When she passed
away in 2000, I gave Riverbend a new life as a photography business. 
As one of my favorite brides said, “That’s some good mojo”.  I agree. 
Thanks Mom.

Old black and white wedding photographs of our families decorate the
dining room walls in our home.  When I see the history captured in
those old photos, and how they have been cherished and carefully handed
down through the generations, I fall in love with photography all over
again.  Photography allows me to stop time, capture a moment, and hang
it on the wall.  Guests can view the photographs and step back in
time.  That is my favorite part of being a photographer.

RIVERBEND DOGS • http://www.riverbenddogs.com

When I am not photographing weddings, I photograph dogs.  All new
wedding clients get a free dog photo shoot too, so I guess sometimes
the worlds overlap.

I love dogs.  They can be serious, funny, silly, hyper, playful,
charming and sneaky…. They hide nothing.  What a fabulous opportunity
for a photographer.

The dramatic lighting and sets that can be created in studio fit
certain stylish pups perfectly.  Some dogs are waiting to let their
inner model out, they just need a stage.

Plus, it’s really cold at the Dog Beach in Chicago in February.
