Spector Photography

Great professional headshots too!
I wanted a good photo for LinkedIn and my own business but hated all my own attempts. My husband discovered Jacquie and gave me her ‘corporate headshot package’ for Christmas. Jacquie was helpful and patient in taking on the phone before my appointment to advise me on what to wear, what to expect. At her studio she made me feel really comfortable, gave clear directions (just what I needed!), was one to trying different things, and was able to draw out of me some genuine big smiles. All in just 1 hour. And the photos are fantastic! I was so happy to replace my old unprofessional 10-​year old picture. And I love the compliments I’m already getting. Not only did Jacquie give me great professional photos, but with her high quality work and skill she also gave me a boost of confidence. I’d recommend her to everyone.

Jacquie deserves a 5 star review.
— Her pictures are simple and beautiful. She has all the materials and fabrics to create different themes. We didn’t have to bring our whole wardrobe for the photo shooting sessions.
— She was very patient with our newborn. She was able to calm down our baby and capture the moments.
— She’s easy to work with and was responsive to emails and phone calls.
— Her rate is very reasonable given her work quality and skills.
Thanks Jacquie!

Did boudoir with Jacquie, I’m a very shy person and she made me feel so comfortable. She was very professional and fun. The pictures were amazing. My husband loves them. It was a wedding present. I def will do this again with Jacquie!

Lovely morning spent with Jacquie photographing our 20 day old. She has an amazing studio all set up for photographing newborns. This also means you don’t need to worry about the weather. Looking forward to more photo sessions with the whole family over the next year!

Jacquie is wonderful. Her photos have captured some of our family’s favorite photos of all time-​pictures at an apple orchard as well as the ones in her studio. Not only do we treasure them, our family & friends do as well. So many keepsake pictures-​we are running out of wall space to hang them!
We have gotten to know Jacquie because of her long term pro bono work at Horizons for Homeless Children. It’s fantastic to find someone who not only loves what she does but gives back to those less fortunate.
From reading the other reviews, it’s pretty clear that Jacquie is the one to trust for a an important & fun way to document your families timeline.

Jacquie is absolutely amazing! I figured she would be once I saw her website. The photos she has posted are spectacular. We just had a new baby and wanted pictures of her and our family. These are the first professional pictures we’ve ever taken. Every single picture was stunning. She posted our photos pretty quickly as she said she would. She even let us preview a sample that day. When get saw the online gallery each picture progressively received «ooohhhs and awwwwes» from my friends and family. You really do get what you pay for… True excellence! I wish I new about her before the birth of our daughter, I would’ve loved to have a maternity shoot. She is definitely able to capture the special moments. We’ve decided to try to schedule sessions at least once a year while our little one grows up. I love all the attention our photos have gotten and I’d recommend Jacquie every time. Jacquie and her work are the best quality you can get! Like I said above check out her website and you can see for yourself that she sure is an award winning photographer!

We LOVE the pictures Jacquie took of our 20 month old last month. I was skeptical that it would be possible to capture just how beautiful he is (no, I’m not at all biased!). Not only did Jacquie’s photos capture his beauty, but also his sweetness and playfulness. Can’t wait to continue her documentation of him as he grows. Thank you, Jacquie!

Full disclosure: Spector Photography is run by my sister. But there is this: we have often waited for months to take special photographs of our children and family — just so she can capture these images while we’re together for visits. In one case, we actually timed a visit to the Boston area so that she could capture our 20^th wedding anniversary «on film» (figuratively speaking).
I have watched Jacquie build her business for many years and there is a reason that she does so well now. Not only is her photography truly amazing (she has even built up a clientele here in Chicago where we live), but her customer service is spectacular. I have watched her with clients; she goes miles out of her way (literally and figuratively) to make sure they get the images they are looking for — and I have seen the back end that clients do not see: the hours and hours she puts into creating the perfect portraits, responding to client questions and inquiries, and — most recently — building her new studio.
I would say that I’ve had a bird’s eye view for years, and setting aside my sisterly bias, Spector Photography’s success speaks for itself.
