I am wondering if someone has a photographer that the absolutely loved? I would like to do newborn photos but have been at a loss at finding a photographer who 1) is flexible in scheduling as I only have my EDD 2) includes high res digital photos and the licensing rights to reprint and reproduce. I am in Beaverton but would be willing to go to Hillsboro or into Portland for the right photographer.
I haven't worked with any local photogs for newborn photos, but here is my short list of who I am considering. You would have to check with them on their travel preferences.
Robin Long - Salem
Erin Tole - Vancouver
Velvet Owl Photographr - She travels, but is based in Woodland, WA.
I have worked a lot with Heidi at Velvet Owl and love her. I plan on using her for all our announcements and a 3 month lifestyle shoot. For newborn I lean towards Erin Tole. But it all comes down to personal style.
Stephanie Klein Is AMAZING. Just Google Stephanie Klein Photography And It Will Take You To Her Website. The Best Work I Have Seen And Can't Wait To Use Her Again.
Emily G Photogaphy (Portland) did our wedding and engagement shoot that included my stepkids. We loved her and plan to go back to her for our newborn shots! https://www.emilygphotography.com

ASHLEY FORRETTE! I haven't used her yet for newborn photos (I'm due in October) but I have used her for my engagement and wedding photos. She is so incredibly talented and great to work with. She puts you right at ease and is really laid back... I just love her work and will be having my maternity and newborn photos taken by her. And she lets you keep ALL the digital files and has amazingly affordable packages. I really can't say enough good things about her.
