Secretary of Education – Arne Duncan

Honing my journalism skills, I photographed the Secretary of Education during a recent trip to Chicago. Here are a couple of photographs. Enjoy.

Very professional and efficient. I'm not the most comfortable person to have in front of a camera but Bob put me at ease and made the experience a fun one. My photos are for marketing my business and I am extremely pleased with the outcome.read more

Bob was the perfect fit as photographer of our wedding. He offered a full range of options, but worked with us to provide only the services we wanted, including a ton of great posed and action photos edited and available at a website we could share with our family who were able to order pictures directly. The fact that he is a super nice guy was just an added bonus!read more

Bob is fantastic! He took wedding photos a decade ago that still adorn our home. Recently we re-engaged him for family photos. These photos with our children are classic and beautiful. I expect them to be hanging in our home for many decades to come!read more

Bob did my daughter’s senior portraits and they were great. She tends to be nervous and challenging to get comfortable for the camera, but he was able to capture some great shots of her true personality. We used a nature setting and he took tons of pictures and let her change outfits. Will treasure these memories.read more

Bob is great to work with, from start to finish! He is a professional, with a great resume, but very casual and easy to work with. We appreciated his professionalism and great service, together with his warm and friendly attitude. Choose Ocken Photography and you'll be happy!read more

Bob was exceptional during our engagement photo shoot, and he made it incredibly fun. There was a 90% chance of rain and he still captured us at our best! Of the photos he took of us during the span of about an hour, there were over 45 photos that are frame-worthy, AND he got them edited and posted online in less than 24 hours. We could NOT be happier with our choice for this engagement photographer, AND he provides the service at an incredibly reasonable cost. Let Bob take your photos - you will NOT regret the decision!read more

I’ve worked with Bob Ocken on multiple occasions to have professional photos taken for use in marketing and promotional materials. The reason I keep coming back is because he does such a great job in every aspect of the project. He is easy to work with, helps the person(s) being photographed feel at ease, is creative in his shots, and makes the whole process amazingly easy. Best of all, he is incredibly reasonable in his pricing in light of the quality of his work. If you’re thinking of having photos taken (and you should be), you need to call Bob. He’s exactly what you’re looking for.read more

Mr. Ocken helped create everlasting memories for me, my husband, and our family and friends. He is a phenomenal photographer and he captured moments I didn’t even notice him capturing. He communicated consistently and was very flexible. I’m so grateful for our fantastic wedding photos and Mr. Ocken!read more
