How did you find your photographer for baby pics?

We haven't had pro pics done of our kids, but our family is chipping in to get them done for Reed/Penny's birthday gifts.  (Reed just turned 2, Penny is going to be 1).

Any ideas on where to find a great photographer?

    I would try my local board first and then CL. If those failed me I would google family photographer + name-of-your-city and start looking through to find someone you like who is reasonable. Good luck!

    If you have a local mother's club (in addition to your local boards), ask there as well. There are likely to be a lot of local referrals.

    I found one woman who charges $250 sitting fee.  I like her work, but I emailed to find out her "a la carte" fees for prints and to see if she sells the files (I doubt it)...because if it ends up being $500 it's wayyyyyy too much.

    $250 is already a stretch, hence me never getting pro pics done.

    It would be great to find someone who isn't settled into the "formula".  I have been looking and some people's portfolios are basically "set up shot, insert baby".  Blech.

    The Canada boards are useless for this. :p

    I searched and searched but couldn't find a pro photog that I could afford, and so I went to Sears.

    Good luck!

    There is this woman, who used to post on the Canada board. She's currently having a session fee sale -- $100. She has not posted rates for prints.

    I think she lives in H-town too.
