Seeking Professional Children's Photographer

Since my daughter was born 2 years ago, we have taken her to Sear's to get her pics done. I have become very unhappy with them because she is 2 and hard to sit still and I always feel rushed when I am there. I don't want to do another dept store. I really would like to find a reasonably priced professional photographer, one who is really great with toddlers and babies. I don't want to drive too far, I live in Palm Harbor, so anywhere from Largo to New Port Richey is fine for me to drive. Looking to get daughter's 2 year old pics done, possibly a maternity shoot done in a month or 2 and then of course, the new baby pictures. Any opinions are very much appreciated!

What can I do next?

Courtney Vickers is fantastic! She is also pregnant with her second and I know she will be on maternity leave soon, but you may want to contact her and see what you can work out! She will come to you or the beach/park or wherever you would like! Here is the link to her website...

Hi M.. My name is Sue and I own Studio 212 Photography in Tarpon Springs (near you). Please see my website at studio212photography.com If you feel you like my work call me at ###-###-####. I offer a maternity series that easily can incorporate images of your daughter during the same session (economical).I shoot alot of images in a fun and fluid manner. As the daughter of a photojournalist and the mother of two girls I completely understand how important it is to have a good environment to shoot in. For this reason I often take the little ones outdoors as part of the session (with you of course). Tarpon Springs has some wonderful spots right outside the studio door. I hope to hear from you soon!

I had maternity photos done with Kimi Carrier. She also took pictures at the waterbirth of my first daughter that turned out amazing! We have had Kimi take pictures of our 4 year old daughter since she was two weeks old and have never been disappointed. Check out her web site http://www.kimicarrier.com/.

Best of luck,
J.

This is a friend of mine from my playgroup. She has a 3 year old of her own, so she understands toddlers! She's photographed lots of the kids in our group and the photos always look great.

Hi. I have a suggestion. My business partner is a photographer (I handle the business aspects of the company and he does the work). Please check out his site at www.daddyrollstudios.com and look under FAQ's for the pricing guide. He takes all of my and my children's pics and DJ's for us. You can also check out his work on the site. He is in Safety Harbor and does locational shoots. My boys did theirs at Philippe Park.

Thanks,

B. O

I have used and recommend Laura Allen of Laura Allen Studios. She doesn't have a studio but rather comes to your home or other off-site location such as the beach, park, yard, etc and sets up everything for high quality shots. We've done our engagement photos, family/group shots, our dogs and cats!, baby photos and now will have her come again for our newest baby of 7 weeks. We love her and the photos. We never did maternity, but I have seen some and they are beautiful. She has a website www.lauraallenstudios.com

I generally use JCPenny, Sadies or Picture People for quick, cheap shots throughout the year....sometimes only taking home the free 8x10 for a timeline for her baby book.....but for real good professional shots we use Laura every couple years.

Good luck!
