Hayley Stein Photography
Hayley has been involved with photography since she started in a darkroom in high school, and hasn’t put the camera down since! She has always been interested in costuming and productions, which naturally evolved into experimenting with cosplay and photography together. Hayley has been working as a photographer professionally since 2019. She enjoys working with cosplayers from every walk of life and giving everyone the opportunity to feel beautiful. Hayley is a full time published photographer in the Chicagoland area who loves to work with cosplayers. She specializes in creative portrait photography; as well as boudoir, fashion, events, and families.
Discount: I will be offering a 40% discount on my booking packages for Chizu.
Glass Cannon Photography
“Greetings! My name is Damien of Glass Cannon Photography. I have been in this wonderful business/hobby for 3 years. My primary focus has always been event and cosplay portraits. As a fellow cosplayer my goal is to capture the essence of the characters and help make them come to life. Thank you for having me!”

They started taking photography for their school newspaper, abroad on their trips around the world, and decided to take their photography skills to conventions and cosplay.
