Hi mamas! Anyone have any suggestions of photographer for family pictures? We did a session last summer, was fun and great pictures but the rates are way too out of ourleague this year!!! We did the shoot on location, and I realize you get what you pay for. just wondering if you had any thoughts! :-) Thanks!

We have used Jessica Gwozdz Photography (that's her website too) for the past 3 1/2 years. Her prices are reasonable, and you can view your pictures and purchase all online (so family members can too). She is awesome! I feel totally at home with her, and she's extremely professional. The first time I met her, I felt as if we had been friends for years. She is in Morton Grove. LOVE LOVE LOVE her!

I've used a friend from HS. He was great and reasonable price. He's does quite a few sessions for my friends and I. Speedy turn around time with pics/files for you to keep and print on your own if you'd like.

Just tell him Cam Thai recommended him.

Not sure what is "out of your league" but we did a session with COCONUT DOLLY and Lisa was great! Her website is showing all black and white, but she does both b&w and color for you. coconutdolly.com

We use a girl for our children's pictures and family pictures that we have used for years. I believe she is pretty reasonable and she has amazing work. It's Tracy Joy photography. She has fantastic/creative ideas of locations and props, as well as having a home studio too. Her website is www.tracyjoy.com.
I highly suggest her!

Hi! Not sure if you picked a photographer already but I am a custom portrait photographer and only do on-location work! I can come to your home or we can pick another outdoor location:)

I feel my rates are very reasonable since I've only been in business less than a year and a half but I'm a mother of 3 and have years of experience photographing children.

My website is www.justpeachyphotog.com if you want to check out my work. My blog has my most current work!

Good luck in your decision! I hope to hear from you!
