Photographer Recs
I know this has been posted a bunch but ofcourse I can't find it, the photographers I had always loved are already booked. So looking to find someone else for our newborn shoot.

Re: Photographer Recs
We love Caroline Coan of Decorum Studios.

I've never posted on these boards before, but we used Joyful Girl Photography. www.joyfulgirlphotography.com. Jessie, the photographer, is the wife of my husband's coworker. We love our photos! Check her out!

I am just starting out "professionally", but have many examples put together on my portfolio (in the the works). I would be willing to do your newborn shots for a very small fee, and just give you the files, providing you are somewhat close to me.
Email me for details ;-)

This guy did my wedding. He is a little cheaper because he's only been doing it professionally for about 2 years (maybe a little longer), but I think he's good.

(DH and I actually have a couple of our wedding photos on there. We're the great-looking brunette couple with 3 pictures of us and one of just me. ~~j/k on the great-looking part

We have used both - Jess several times, Barrett once (and both are friends of mine) - and we've been very happy with our pictures!
Tonya Wilson at Wilson Whitaker Photography does a very good job with infant pics. Their main website shows samples of everything the cover (weddings, events, kids, etc), but their facebook page has a few extra galleries of their kids/infant portraits.

They just opened up a brand new studio in White Bear Lake. Tonya has packages available for either single session shoots or even long term packages as your child grows older. She's shooting my infant pictures this winter.
No matter who you pick, make sure you shop around. There are endless options available and going with a professional photographer is a serious investment. There also is a much more personal relationship that's developed than simply going to Proex or JCPenney. Go with who you feel comfortable with and who can do the best job for you and your family.
I used Angela Kalthoff.
We absolutely love her work.
