Expecting #2 in October, and would like to line up a great photographer that is not too pricey. I would prefer if they have a location, don't want to really use my own home as a backdrop!
Also if anyone has any ideas about how to dress the girl newborn with the boy toddler for pics I would appreciate it!
Hi T.!
I have an a referal to an amazing photographer here in OC. She specializes in photographing children and her pricing is very reasonable. I think her website will speak for itself, she is very talented and wonderful with children.

Hi T.,
I know of a great photographer, she did my family portraits and made us look beautiful, check out her website at www.laurieannmartinphotography.com. She is wonderful and will go whereever you want her to.
Good luck

I don't know a photographer, but I would check Gymboree or The Children's Place for clothes. They often have matching (or at least coordinating) pieces for a wide range of ages. It's hard to find good newborn clothes, but I seem to have some luck at Gymboree.
I hope your birth goes wonderfully. Enjoy!
Hi I live in Huntington Beach and am in a moms group here. One of the mom's in my group is an amazing photographer. Her name is Dawn. She has a website
www.radiant-reflections.smugmug.com Her phone number is ###-###-####. She is offering a great special right now if you book before 10-31-08. Tell her K. Enriquez from her moms club referred you and she will take care of you. She will travel to you as well. oh and her email is ____@____.com will be very happy.
I have a great photographer that I've used for my newborn shots, but she comes to you, no studio. T. Taylor Photography - let me know if you want the contact info. She is amazing, will spend a few hours with you and your kids until she gets exactly what you want, and is incredibly patient. Also, she gives you all the photos, on a disc, so you can get all the prints you want, email them, etc. She charges $250 per photo shoot, but she is top-notch, and I've found her to be absolutely worth it.
For clothing, I'm a big fan of naked tummy shots for newborns and also just a diaper. also, consider this, it is DARLING: Have her naked on her tummy on a big fluffy down comforter (solid color) and then get some wired light pink ribon and tie a big bow around her so that there is a big bow on her back, and then make a tag using sticker letters that hangs from the bow that says, "From God" like she is a gift from God.
Also, I HIGHLY recommend that you have the new baby in just a diaper and have your older child lean over her and kiss her on the forehead, she'll look up at them, it is DEVINE!!!
My experience with newborn shots is that clothes take away from the baby.
And finally, consider having a naked-chest daddy shot with totally naked baby, where their chests are together (so her woohoo isn't showing) - he can have his lips just resting on the top of her head like he's just finished kissing her...geez, this is making me want another baby just so I can take these photos again...

I strongly suggest Christina Vejar - she did our family while I was pregnant with #2. She's affordable, and her portraits are amazing. Here's a link to her website:
