So my wife and I were looking last year for the perfect photographer since coming from New Jersey…read morewe had worked with one for several years and he did an amazing job with our Wedding, Engagement photo, infant photos and etc. In fact, we were just going to fly our old photographer into Chicago for our Baby's 1st Birthday Party because we trusted our photographer in NJ. If anyone knows me - I am extremely particular in who I work with and the type of product I want (only the best) since you are spending hundreds and literally thousands of dollars so you want to make sure the end product is what you pay for! Usually, it is customary for the Korean's 1st Bday to have great photos! These are memories that will last a lifetime and you want a great photographer to work with! So this is an investment we were worth spending some money on. Moving to Chicago I was bit nervous working with a new photographer since I am very particular and want someone that will capture the right moments! In fact it's very hard! We wanted someone who understood our needs and the design element ideas that would capture that perfect moment! Luckily after 7 calls with various different photographers around the Chicago land area we were glad we found Studio Soo Chicago Baby! He was the only a few who actually responded timely, flexible with scheduling and accommodating! Soo does an amazing job with trying to get shots that we are looking for - see below some of his fabulous work! We also went with their photo booth at the Birthday party since Soo was very accommodating and upgrading things we didn't even think we wanted! While the overall cost was a bit more than what we wanted to spend I look at these things as an investment! Overall, if you are looking for great baby photographer -Chicago Baby is the best in Chicago! If you are looking at photographers who can create and take amazing shots- Chicago baby is the best around here! Moving forward this is the only studio that I would do business with since I trust not only their product, but I know Soo is flexible, transparent with pricing and easy to work with!! I absolutely recommend this studio - See the photos and the type of professional quality you get!

As a background, we were initially thinking to go to Korea like many Korean couples do, but with the COVID quarantine over there, that wasn't going to happen. We were willing to travel to places in the US like LA and NYC that try to emulate the Korean style, but didn't find one that we really liked. We were so surprised to find out about Studio Soo right in our city of Chicago!

Through the planning and implementation of the proposal I could tell Kenny had a lot of experience and helped consider different logistics such as people in the background and the wind conditions. He made us feel very comfortable and was able to get a lot of really amazing candid shots! He gave clear instructions for poses and had such a friendly vibe the entire time. There were so many beautiful photos! He gave us a batch of 10 photos the same night so that we could share the news with our loved ones! Love the quick turnaround. The full set of photos came within a week! This was one of the most important moments of my life and I'm glad Kenny was there to document it. I also really enjoyed the blog post that he made documenting the photoshoot. I also appreciated that he made an Instagram post which made it easy for us to share the news on Instagram too. Take a look at his photos and you can see for yourself! I highly recommend him for any proposals, engagements, and weddings in the Chicago area!

Michelle Kanaar was our photographer for our wedding back in September. Her experience in…read morephotography and passion for her projects is readily apparent in her photos and her ability to connect with the people she photographs. She empathized with me during the stress of wedding planning and walked through all the details for photographs on the day-of, which helped put the anxiety I was feeling at ease because she was so reassuring that everything would fall into place. Michelle worked incredibly hard on photographing us on our wedding day from getting the details of the poses perfect to expertly capturing candid moments, and from connecting with people to make them smile or laugh for the photo to getting the lighting to be perfect (even if the sun wouldn't move for us)--all the while enjoying every bit of the day with us! Not to mention, this was all in blistering, humid summer heat! While I couldn't imagine how hard she was working in that kind of heat, she made it all look easy. We could not be happier with the photos that captured precious moments from those that jerk tears of happiness to tears of laughter; and we could not be happier with the ease of process and execution leading up to our wedding and on the day-of. It was truly a pleasure working with Michelle and seeing how she carries out her work with such passion. We are incredibly grateful to her for capturing in photos a day we want to remember every moment of for a very, very long time. Thank you so much Michelle! -Wendy & Matt

We've booked her twice now and are due for a third visit, since we routinely use her photos for our website, social media, promotion, and client communication. She's a total pleasure to work with: friendly, polite, flexible, and knows exactly what she's doing. The turnaround time was very fast and she sent us two sets of photos, one for web use and one for printing. We love her photos and they've been a huge part of how we represent our business. Thank you so much!
