Children's Photographer in Chicago Area

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good children's photographer in the Chicago area (other than Picture People, JC Penny or other places found at the mall)? I'm looking for someone who is creative, artistic, and possibly willing to do an outdoors photo shoot. I have a very energetic 2 year old and I want someone who can capture his spirit, since it's unlikely that he'll sit still for the more traditional portrait.

What can I do next?

Black and White photography on NW Highway in Edison Park. Lisa is awesome. I can't tell you the number of compliments I've gotten when people come to my home - I have some really cool shots of my kids that are the "Art" in my home. She also did my Father-in-law's 75th bday party. She met us at the dinner and then also came to our home and set up in my yard for night shoots of the party. Part of her package included a hard cover bound book of the evening - it's so cool! She is reasonable, professional and just a really nice person. She's also a single mom so it's a bonus to support her business!

She's at Blackwhiteportrait.com

I know 2 people who don't specialize in children but they are great photographers and have worked with children. I would look at their website and checks out their pictures.
One is Kenny Nakai www.nakaiphotography.com
the other is Kenny Kim www.kennykim.com
They are both artistic and have done lots of outdoor shots with weddings and engagements shoots.
They are great with kids too!

Karrie Gottschild, she is an amazing children's photographer and had done my children and family portraits for years. She can get even the toughest child to smile, it is really unbelievable. She is totally reasonable as she uploads your pictures, sends you copies and a disk, you keep the negatives. There really is no better deal or better person out there. Check out her website and give her a call!!! http://karriegottschild.shutterfly.com
