I have recommended www.katiejamesphoto.com to many people and everyone has used them with fabulous results. I have recommended them on this site to someone else and do not know what they ended up doing. They specialize in outdoor photography. I promise you will not be disappointed. Let me know if you use them.

You should check out Michael Anthony Studios. They do great outdoor pictures and studio shots. They are located on Route 59, just north of Butterfield Road.

www.michaelanthonystudios.com

They currently are running a 50% off special through 8/31/08 (excludes wedding packages). This special even applies to their Kids Club.
Check out their web site for some unique, quality shots :)

We used TigerLily Photography.. she did family pics and some GREAT kids pics. Her prices are fair, especially if you compare the quality of her work. She has a studio in her house, but she specializes in outdoor shots. We get MANY compliments on the pics that we have hanging up from our shoot with her.

you can use my name as a reference if you want.. C. Salbego.

I have used a lady who lived in our former subdivison and does photography on the side as a part-time professon, but she does a fabulous job. Her name is Dawn Hagen-Snover. She's in North Plainfield near Route 30 and 127th. She can come to you, or she'll meet you at different places. We took our 1-year-old to the park in Plainfield and she got some great shots of him playing. We just took his wagon she took some fun pics while he just did his thing. She had very good prices and gave us a CD of all of them. Her website is below:

Try Melissa Jean Photography at http://www.melissajeanphotos.com/ she did our family photos last year and they turned out great. Melissa did several shots, formal and candid. I can honestly say we have never had such great pictures, they captured our family as it is. She has also been our soccer clubs photographer since its inception.

Hi C.,

The photographer I am recommending is not in Naperville, but is well worth the drive to Mount Prospect. You will definitely get the quality portraits that you are looking for.
Her name is Barbara and she does great work. I have seen her outdoors work and family portraits and they are breathtaking. She also specializes in incorporating family pets into the mix. She is currently working on the proofs from my daughter's wedding. You won't be disappointed. Tell her that M. referred you. Her website is: www.bbreitsameter.com. Good luck.
