As a mom of two young kids, I wholeheartedly believe Chicago Baby / Studio Soo is the BEST place to take family photos! They are so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating of babies and toddlers who don’t want to sit still for pictures. They have so many different backgrounds/sets to choose from at their indoor studio, which is really helpful if you have a toddler that needs a frequent “change of scenery” to stay engaged with taking photos. These guys are true professionals and genuinely want to ensure you are happy with their work. We LOVE our new family photo album and prints, and look forward to using Chicago Baby again in the future! More...

We just had the most amazing photo-shoot with Chicago Baby! They have a big, beautiful indoor studio with a lot of options for beautiful pictures, and there's so much to do that our 3-year-old had a smile on his face the entire time. They were patient and kind, and obviously extremely talented. And the final products we ordered (an album of our shoot, a framed picture, and some prints) are truly gorgeous. If you're looking to take some top-notch family pictures that you can treasure, check them out! More...

I highly recommend Studio Soo to couples looking for high quality photos (with a wide variety of albums and frames to choose from as well) for a reasonable price. We were initially looking to travel to Korea for our engagement photos, but we decided to get our photos taken here in Chicago instead after looking at some samples from this studio. The photographer and his crew is keen on detail and strives to produce photos tailored to the style you desire. They even allowed us another photo session because my wife was not satisfied with how she looked in photos due to the makeup she received from one of the local salons. We will definitely do another photo shoot with this group when we have kids. You can't go wrong with choosing Studio Soo! More...

Studio Soo Chicago Baby has been amazing to work with from start to finish! From even before stepping into the studio I was very impressed with the clear and precise communication about the photo shoot process. I received prompt emails with descriptions of what to expect during the photo shoot for my 4 and 2 year old. I was given suggestions on what to bring for the photo shoot, what to expect at the studio and precise directions and time confirmation. Any questions I had were answered right away. I was so excited to bring my toddlers to the studio for the photo shoot.The day of the photo shoot the drive was very easy & the directions were spot on. I arrived at the studio with no problem. It Very easy to find the studio! I was greeted with a big smile and asked if I wanted Valet, which was so nice! I was fortunate enough to find a parking spot next to the studio,which was very helpful especially since I had my 2 toddlers with me and the bag of items I brought. I was amazed and so very excited when I walked into the studio for the first time! The studio has many rooms with different back drops and props. The studio was the most beautiful and well laid out studio I've ever been to! So many great choices for amazing photo ops! My toddlers were also so excited! It had so many fun things for my kids to play with and smile! We couldn't wait to get started. I was greeted by the entire staff and every question was answered. I was given a tour and information about the studio and the process for the next hour during our photo session. There were beautiful well lit rooms to change my toddlers and get the ready for the photo shoot. I was given help picking out outfit options for my kids. Both my son & my daughter found clothes and accessories they loved.It was time to get started and the staff had music playing my kids loved and the pictures started! We choose 4 different back drops and 2 outfit changes during the 1 hour. My kids had so much fun and didn't complain once! The entire staff was excellent at getting my kids to smile and the beautiful pictures proved it!I received a gallery of all my unedited photo a few days later and from there I spoke with the staff and we narrowed down the photos to the pictures I wanted edited. I shared some of the un edited photos with my friends and family and the photos have gotten rave reviews. People I don't even know ask me where I got these beautiful photos taken! I can't wait to see the edited photos!I can honestly say that Studio Soo Chicago Baby is the best photography studio in the Chicago area. The photos and the entire experience have been a complete joy and created lasting memories. This experience has been worth every penny! Don't go anywhere else, go to Studio Soo Chicago Baby and you'll be so happy! More...

I did not get a chance to do a lot of research, but my mom informed me about Studio Soo Photography. I asked her for the website, because I wanted to see sample pictures.

Most wonderful studio you can find in Chicago. Price is very reasonable(and for considering photographer's professional skills, it's a steal) and professional environment. Great airy studio, entrance is at the back of the building(do not go into the main door, just walk around the building). If you are not a model, no problem. The head photographer will give you simple yet amazing advises for pose. He makes regular Joe to whomever you'd like to be. Also, session was thorough yet quick. Previously I had experiences with very-long photo session that will drain me greatly, but not at Studio Soo. If you are looking for a professional, pleasant, amazing outcome yet great price don't look further. I highly recommend this place!스튜디오 수 내부가 너무 크고 예뻐서 아기 사진 강력 추천드리고 싶어요. 너무 친절하시고, 조용한 내부와 더불어 매우 프로페셔널하게 잘 찍어주십니다. 성인용 프로필 사진도 깔끔하고 비호감도 호감으로 만들어주시는 ㅋㅋ 스킬이 대단하세요. 가끔 너무 길게 촬영하면 힘만 들고 맘에 드는 사진 없으면 힘든데 스튜디오 수는 딱 필요한 어드바이스와 함께 결과물도 '굿' 입니다. 가격도 매우 괜찮으니까 ^^ 강추드립니다. 넘 만족스러웠어요!

Also, the friendliness and professionalism of the photographers was excellent. I never knew my son could actually sit still and smile at the camera until now.

Studio Soo Chicago Baby was amazing! It was the best photo studio experience I've ever had! My family and I needed a photo for our Christmas card, and Soo and his wife were pure genius in find exactly the right settings and poses for us. They were very easygoing and attentive to our needs, and at the same time were able to give helpful advice and even precise directions to us to make it the best photo possible. Even the slight suggestion, "tilt your head slightly" or "put your hand here" made all the difference. After choosing our favorite shots, Soo did the editing and touch up to make it even better! I have always been skeptical of spending the money on a professional photographer when we can always just take a selfie. I'm thoroughly convinced now that it's well worth the effort and expense. I wish we had known Soo when our son was younger and we were taking a million baby pictures. Or better yet, I wish he were our wedding photographer. To this day my wife and I regret the photographer we used, and we'll never get a second chance to take those pictures again. If you want absolute confidence that your wedding pictures will be stellar, Soo is the man. More...
