Hidden on a side street in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, Xquisx Photography houses the studio of a…read moresuper-talented photographer. Simply put, Eric is a genius behind a camera. With Playboy in his background, Eric is not only a well-trained, consummate professional, he's got an aptitude for erotica and he's not afraid to use it. I wanted professional, sexy photos for my husband, but I don't photograph well. A friend recommended Eric of Xquisx and, after seeing photos he took of her, I saw why. They were amazing! I've known and liked Eric for years, and I knew he was a professional photographer. What I didn't know was that my time with him would dramatically and positively change my opinion of him, myself, erotica and female beauty forever. My visit to Eric's studio started out uneventful. I hit the buzzer, walked up the steps, crossed the porch and knocked on the door of Xquisx carrying a bag of sexy costumes, makeup, jewelry and shoes. Eric's wife greeted me at the door (she's a lovely, talented artist, as well). Eric soon joined his wife in greeting me. He offered me water, which I gratefully accepted. I was nervous. I felt fat. I told Eric I didn't want my rolls/wrinkles/blemishes to show. He laughed, and told me to have a little faith. Then he led me downstairs. The studio is comfortable and well appointed. A separate bathroom nearby provides a private place for changing and preparing for the shoots. Jazzy, bluesy music added a level of comfort and fun. I dressed in my most conservative outfit to start. Eric asked me to pose on his "stage" while he tested the light levels and set up his background. His camera started flashing and, before long, I was playing the part of "model." Many shots, costume changes and poses later, I was flushed, tired and optimistic. Eric showed me some of the shots on his PC display. I couldn't believe it! He captured me in ways I didn't know were possible. Later, when he sent me the final product, I was astonished! Is that me?? Eric didn't try to cover my imperfections; he highlighted and presented them in artistically interesting and beautiful ways. I LOVED my pictures and immediately started loving my "imperfections!" Eric of Xquisx did not try to change me into a movie star or model, nor did he airbrush me into society's opinion of perfection (that's for amateurs). No, what Eric did was show me a different way of seeing my beauty through the eyes of a master lensman who knows erotica, art, photography and the true meaning of female beauty. My husband was thrilled with the results. And I'm thrilled with me. NOTE: Eric also took photos of my husband, and made him seem like a gorgeous male model ... I highly recommend Xquisx, especially if you wish to see yourself through the eyes of a talented, pro-woman, erotic photo artist. This could really change your life.

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!
