I am looking for a good photographer to do formal portraits of my daughter. My family is from the deep South and it is a tradition to have formal portraits done at each child's 1st birthday. I have some great black and white informal pictures, but need a more traditional photographer for these pictures. The grandparents are bugging me to get them done fast!

What can I do next?

Hi,
I love black and whites. I know two great photographers, they are professional (expensive)but totally worth it. One is Jude Moony, she is in Petaluma. She took pregnancy photos of me, and has done a few other shots of my daughter... they are all beautiful. The other is Kate Nagle, she is in Graton(by Sebastopol). She also has beautiful black and whites. My aunts family had a session with her at ragle ranch park and the shots are really nice. She also took my childrens school photos this year. Not only did she let me slip my one year old into the lineup, I also ran and got my step daughter and did one of them together. Kate is especially great with kids photos. Both photographers have nice web sites...check them out. Good luck.

I realize this is late.... but Steven Yeager Studio in Petaluma often does school make up days at their studio during the fall. Even if your daughter isn't in school they will let you in if you schedule an appointment. You get really nice, professional photos for very reasonable prices. Their phone number is ###-###-####

I highly recommend Woody Hunt. He's a great photographer and is GREAT with kids. He's got two of his own and coaches little league baseball so has TONS of experience with children. And his work is fantastic. if you'd like his information feel free to contact me.
