I'm hoping to find a photographer that takes pictures of newborns and babies, that is good at what they do (nicer than going to Sears or JC Penny) and are some what comparible price wise...am I asking too much?! Photographers that I have come across online cost an arm and a leg! I'd love to get some professional pictures taken of my new baby and was wondering if moms have any advice? Thanks!

What can I do next?

hi L.,

i'm not sure where you are located, however here in the bay area, i'm in san jose, and have had great success at The Picture People there are two westfield shopping town locations that i know of. one of them at oakridge, and the other at valley fair. i know they will take walk ins, but you will be better off making an appointment, and having a "sitter" to look after your children while you peruse every single shot from your shoot and select how many of what ones you want for grandma and auntie, and ...etc. the best news you get all your photos right then and there, well, there may be a 30 min wait for your portraits to be printed out, but really what's 30 min. when you're stuck waiting in a mall, i'll tell you, not time enough to get through one store with a great sale. expect to be there at least two hours, three at the most.

happy snapping!

Kathleen Reeve Photography. 2439 Meridian Ave. San Jose, CA 95124 ###-###-####

She took AMAZING pictures of both our kids and us when they were babies. I don't remember what she charged, but I don't think it was outrageous.

I highly recommend Tamara Rivera w/ TBR Photography###-###-####.

She is a personal friend and photographer. She did photos for my son when he was 1yr old. She has also done newborns and infants.

I have been to Picture People and the quality is fair and not very "creative" with their work. It felt really like a "studio" type shoot, where my friend Tamara made it fun, creative and incorperated her artistic side to some of the pictures. We got amazing results and amazing photos of my son. He isn't the easiest model to work with as he is very active and opioninated too! lol

Here is a link to one of the photos she did...hopefully its correct and you can see a sample of her amazing work :)
