Photographer for Children with Special Needs — Chicago, IL

TK Photography Chicago is seeking a compassionate, patient, and skilled Photographer specializing in children with special needs to serve Chicago's vibrant special education community. This community is deeply underserved by professional photography. Families want portraits that celebrate their children but often struggle to find photographers who understand how to work with kids who have autism, sensory processing differences, physical disabilities, or developmental delays. It requires patience — the willingness to slow down, wait for the right moment, and never rush a child or family. It requires an adaptive mindset — the ability to modify posing, environment, lighting, and session structure to meet each child where they are.
