Baby Photographers

When my son was born, we took tons of pictures.  I didn’t really know any professional photographers at the time, and most of the local professionals were quite expensive.  So we settled for some in-store studio type photo sessions.  When I look back at those photos, I realize how “cheesy” the photos were.  They propped my son up in odd positions and put obnoxious backgrounds behind him.  This was only five years ago.

Since I’ve been involved in online forums, and blogs the past few years, I’ve found so many wonderful photographers.  I haven’t been to a studio since.  Many of these photographers are moms, just like me, who wanted “better” photographs of their own children.  So they picked up a camera and started on their own.

As a busy working mom, I know it is hard to find the time to get quality photographs of your child.  Once a upon a time, I just made an appointment with the local portrait studio and prayed that my son was not fussy or it wasn’t during naptime.  I spent my hours mad because they were over-scheduled or behind on their appointments.

There is a now a great site, babyphotographers.com which is a great resource to find a photographer locally that best suits your needs.  You can search by a  photographers location or name on their site.  They also have a blog with has some great posts with tips on how to choose a baby photographer and/or how to have the perfect newborn photography session.
