Elevate Your Professional Brand with Expert Corporate Photography | Veteran-Owned & Trusted Across Chicagoland
I'm David Mercer, a 22-year U.S. Air Force veteran and the founder of IDTPhoto. Together with my wife Jane, we've built a photography business rooted in precision, creativity, and genuine care for our clients.
My photography journey began 40 years ago in a high school darkroom. After serving 22 years in the Air Force, I turned my lifelong passion into a professional business, specializing in corporate headshots and business photography. Jane focuses on maternity, newborn, and family portraits, handcrafting custom props and outfits for every session.
