Looking for Inexpensive Candid Photographer in Far West Suburbs

I use Photos By Grace, and the photographer's name is Grace Sikora. She doesn't have a website, but she can email samples to you (or I can too, but I would need your email address). She lives in Chicago, but travels to your home or whatever location you want (she's open to doing outdoor shots at places ilke the Morton Arboretum)--she'll just charge you mileage. You get so much for your money--I've never had less than 150 photos from her sessions. You get them on a CD and she uploads them to Shutterfly for you so you can share them easily with friends and family. She also gives you a copyright release form so you have ownership of the photos and can take them wherever you want to have them printed.

Here's her contact info:

I have referred countless people to her, and they all love her. But now, I sometimes regret it because she books up SO fast and I have to fight my own friends to schedule time with her! :) She really does book up fast, so you'll want to contact her right away if you're wanting to schedule all your milestone sessions. Take care!

I use www.vinnyvaldez.com. He takes awesome pictures, and he also draws and paints people. He is the best I have found around here. He is deaf so you would have to contact through email, but that is all found on his website. Hope this helps.

This is exactly what she does. She is M. of two and lives in the Geneva area. She will come to your home or meet you at a park or whereever.

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 my friend, Sofia Spenzas. She has a studio in Lombard, but I'm sure that she'll work with you at an outside location. You can view her shots at www.spiralartdesigns.com

Check out katiejamesphoto.com She took our family pictures a couple years ago and many of my daycare parents now use her regularly (some of my daycare kids are on the website!) We have all only used Katie so I cannot tell you about her partner, but I'm sure he must be wonderful also.

i have used her three times-awesome. comes to your house, etc. look at her site-her pictures say it all.

I was just looking @ local business reviews & this was in there. I may check them out myself! Looks like she's in Geneva too, and the pictures look amazing! (not overexposed like in some of the other suggestions you have gotten)
