Hello. I am looking to have my son's picture taken and was not happy with the service at JCPenny in North Riverside. They were pretty inexpensive and the pictures turned out great, but their service was terrible. Could anyone recommend a place that they've had success?
We have always been happy (since 2000) with Sears Portrait, 75th and Lemont Rd., Downers Grove.

I just had my son's pictures taken by Amy at amytripplephotography.com she did an amazing job, was pretty affordable, and I highly reccommend her. Her rates are pretty good, and she gives you a CD of your proofs so you can make your own prints.
I have a friend who is super cheap - http://imagesbygrace.shutterfly.com/
She charges $165 and will come to your house or meet you somewhere to take pictures up to two hours. Then she gives you all the rights to the pictures on a CD and you have the option to order them whereever you'd like. I ordered some of mine via shutterfly and they were super cheap and excellent quality. I've done a variety of pictures with our daughter, from JCPenny's to high-end photographers and even with Penny's I ended up spending well over $180 by the time I ordered all my pictures and they're not even creative or artsy with their work like a lot of professional photographers are. Check out Grace's website for yourself. She has many examples of her work on it. Good luck!
Hi E.-
You will LOVE my friend Megan's work, she is a photographer and her specialty (in my opinion) is working with kids.
She took pictures of my daughter for her first year and they are amazing.
Here's her information, feel free to tell your friends about her!

I'm in Oak Park if you want to check out my work visit www.emphotography.net/Family not in the JC Penny price range, but I do do specials sometimes, and it's personal so I believe the service to be good.
