The last time I was in the Chicago area, I wasn't able to set up a session with providers.  Five times, I was rejected since I did not have references from providers or a membership with RS2K or other agencies.. I was willing to provide valid ID and other screening info.  Is it the norm that without references or RS2K site-like memberships, there is no way you can schedule a session?  I'll be travelling to NW chicago this week and wanted to know if there are providers who will accept valid ID, a valid flight ticket, work number as reference to set up sessions.. If so, please post back and I'll contact you.. Thanks!

Try KrissyDD... her website is listed on RS2k and on her reviews here.  Contact her quick though, she is usually booked up to a week at a time.  Otherwise, fork over the $50 to join RS2k... it's worth it.
