What My Clients Say

Danah of Claredon Hills, IL
Carrie Painter did an excellent job with my maternity session. She was so much fun to work with, very creative and professional. I highly recommend her photography services!  I just viewed my edited pictures from my maternity session with Carrie. I am in love with them! Making a decision on which ones to order is going to be near impossible! Thrilled with her work!

I am so pleased with my daughter's graduation pictures. This was the first time I have ever had Carrie take any photographs for me, it will not be the last. She did a great job capturing all of the most important moments as well as all of the emotions that go along with your child’s graduation day.

Mindia of Camargo, IL
"My Facebook has been flooding with compliments by so many people!! I have to admit being 40 some degrees and with a screaming 2 year old, I had my doubt but I love the pictures.  I just keep looking at them over and over.  Today, when I get some free time in our busy weekend schedule, I am going to sit and do some ordering J.  Thank you a million times!!"

Jessi and Jeff of Paxton, IL
"As soon as we found out we were expecting, the only people we wanted to take the pictures was Painter Photography because of their solid reputation and the work we saw on their website.  Carrie had a well thought out game plan in choosing the location at Lake of the Woods.  It completely ties in to our love of the outdoors. Carrie and Chris were able to work efficiently and effectively.  Carrie and Chris were able to capture us as ourselves, not forcing us to be something that we were not on the camera.  What some people might dread, Chris and Carrie were able to make an enjoyable and lasting experience that we will take advantage of time and time again.  We would highly recommend Painter Photography to any expecting couple or family that is looking to share a truly memorable experience that will last a lifetime.  We most definitely will choose Painter Photography for our newborn and infant photos!" 

Jackie of Gifford, IL
"The CD was given in a timely fashion just as the pictures being available online.  Plus it was EASY!  I did not expect them to be up so quick.  On the day of the shoot, Carrie and crew were very flexible and accommodating to my need to get group and individual shots.  With weather not cooperating (rain), there was no sign of stress or anxiety...very professional outdoor barn setting. I was very pleased overall with the service and product I received by Painter Photography.  I will definitely be using this venue again for my next photography needs!"  

Jessica of Urbana, IL
"Painter Photography is awesome! I was extremely pleased with the Ducks and Bunny photo session for my grand-daughter. Carrie has a ton of patience and worked so well with an infant, ensuring we got lots of great shots. The turn-around time on getting our edited images on disc was fantastic, we had them back in less than a week. The photos were great. Because Carrie shot from so many different angles, my grand-daughter's personality shines through the images! I especially loved the special effect Carrie did with the black and white photo with a little pop of color. Thank you so much!! I look forward to coming back to you for future photos."

Amy of Urbana, IL
"Carrie has done a fantastic job taking photos of my son. She works so naturally with him, thinks through the details of how to get good photos in our shoot, and her editing is great! I love seeing our photos after a session because they're always so outstanding. The perfect way to capture my child in these stages that pass by so quickly!"
Lilian of Chicago, IL
"I had the pleasure of having Carrie Painter take our engagement pictures and we all had such a blast! She listened to what we wanted and had some wonderful suggestions to get the perfect shot. She had a great eye for what would be a beautiful picture by incorporating the good weather and flowers into each frame. These pictures will be cherished forever!"

Meghan of Lansing, IL
"My fiancé and I had Carrie Painter do our engagement photos, and it was an excellent decision. Her communication with us before the photo shoot was excellent, and she always responded very quickly to any emails. Better yet, Carrie was truly interested in hearing how we wanted our pictures to turn out and listened to what we were looking for. When we asked her if she had any suggestions, Carrie readily had some really great ideas to share with us. She came very prepared on the day of the actual photo shoot, and she had some preview pictures ready for us to see the very same night! She sent us the full photo disc with all the edited images very quickly as well. Our engagement photos turned out absolutely beautifully, and we love sharing them with family and friends. We couldn't be happier!"
