I import images using the File<Place option, which I've done before, only now the quality of the images are being reduced in Illustrator. I am importing them from iPhoto. Any word on what is causing this and how I can fix it? Thanks!
 
Adobe Illustrator uses math (called vector) images. When you draw a line it's a pure math equation. This is why we use Illustrator for creating business logos. You aren't limited by size, Illustrator just keeps multiplying the values to the desired, even billboard size and beyond.

When you try to import something into Illustrator that is pixel based you must be increasing the photo's size at some point and therefore making it blurry.

Just remember, pixels = same size or smaller. Vector images = any size.
