I just had my son's photograph taken by a man referred to me by my neighbor. He is AMAZING. And inexpensive! THe most incredible thing is that he comes to your house. So, my son was completely comfortable and happy. He brought a backdrop, but ended up just following my son around and snapping totally natural shots. Your daughter, of course, will not be running around. :)
Anyway, he was so great. And he sent me ALL the photos for review. I had 37 to choose from and ended up buying an album (which he made for me) including 20 photographs.
I HIGHLY recommend him. I hope he travels to Lincoln Square. I don't know why he wouldn't. I live in Old Town.
His name is Ron Hayes. His email is ____@____.com doesn't have a website or anything. He is retired and does this to "keep busy." You won't regret using him. We're going to take our first family photo and later a Christmas photo with him.
