3 Best Commercial Photographers in Elgin, IL

We had a wonderful experience working with DeAnda Photography for our recent ribbon-cutting event at BrightPath. From start to finish, communication was smooth, clear, and professional. The contract process was straightforward, and pricing was transparent and upfront — which we truly appreciated while planning such an important event. Most importantly, the photos came out phenomenal. They beautifully captured the excitement of the day, the details of the event, and the energy of our team and community. We are so grateful for the care and professionalism shown throughout the entire process and would absolutely recommend DeAnda Photography for any special event. BrightPath highly recommends this company!

I needed updated headshots that also showed a little personality. I ended up choosing DeAnda Photography and had the best experience. Carol is incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about what she did. She helped at every stage, from recommending a hair and makeup artist (shout out to Looks by EMI!), brainstorming prop ideas for some of the poses, helped me choose outfits, everything. She's super fun and personable, so it was like hanging out with a friend while she just takes photos. The end products were gorgeous, choosing the best was almost impossible. I cannot recommend enough for a professional but relaxed and creative experience.

I had the pleasure of having Carol photograph my wedding. I was extremely picky in choosing my photographer. I have a high bar for quality since wedding photography is one of the most important aspects of a wedding. I saw that Carol was a part of the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and that she had numerous accolades and awards with them.

What a great experience! Thank you Melissa for the beautiful photos! We haven’t done family photos in so long and knew it was time. I reached out to Melissa and it was seamless from day one. Always responsive, gorgeous portfolio, she was open to locations and ideas, she was there to help with colors and locations, always gave suggestions, and overall just an ease and pleasure to work with. She was on time, calm, professional and personable, and was so great with our entire family. Loved doing this and will most definitely be recommending and doing more pictures with her in the future.

I cannot say enough good things about Melissa! She’s so easy to work with; she has a seamless process from start to finish that equates to a fun photo session and beautiful photos. At the shoot, she makes everyone involved so comfortable and she includes you and your group in the design decisions (poses, photo spots, actions, etc.). Melissa has an incredible eye for finding beauty in the ordinary and making it extraordinary. The quality of her work is exemplary. Cannot wait for our shoot this year!

Working with Melissa of LibbyLou Images was such a wonderful experience. She was easy to work with, quickly answering emails of questions that I had. She had amazing ideas for both my daughter's senior pictures and our family pictures. I have already recommended her to a few different families who are also looking to do family portraits.
