Hi All-
I am looking for someone to take pictures of our new baby in the next couple weeks as well as to have our family pictures done for Christmas some time in October/November.
Does anyone out there have a photographer that they love where we can get pictures done at a reasonable price?

Thanks.

I recommended Sasha Haagenson for a friend's wedding and they were so pleased with how the pictures turned out! She manages to capture real moments with the family. I'll be using her when my baby is born in a few weeks. :)

I really like Damon Leo. You can check out his website at www.damonleo.com He's really good. I have never been to another photographer, but I thought our pics were well worth the price.

Michelle Loconto is a wonderful and creative photographer. I first used Michelle's services when I got married and loved working with her so much I have used her several times since then to take pictures of our newborn son. I recently used her services again for more photos of my son and his cousins. She has amazing patience with children. She always makes the kids feel at ease and gives gentle direction to make the shoot fun and creative. Her quality of work and reliability are rare traits in the industry. She always goes above and beyond for her clients each and every time. She not only gets to know you as a person, but she also familiarizes herself with your style and tries to understand what you wish to do with the pictures prior to the shoot so it is truly customized for you. Her knowledge about photography and intuition about people, gives her the ability to capture your uniqueness and personality on film. I highly recommend Michelle’s services and I will personally never use anyone else for my photography needs!
Here's her website: http://www.michelleloconto.com/

When looking for a great photographer in the Austin area, I found it hard to find someone who was reasonably priced and still took really great photos. With this in mind, I happen to come across Alison Eden. Check out her website at www.alisoneden.com. She shoot our maternity pictures as well as my son at six weeks and six months. I plan to go back and have her take shoots when he is a year old. I can't say she is reasonable priced because I haven't compared her to others but I can say that she takes really great pictures.

Hope this helps.

I found a lady who does great work - and she's inexspensive. Jackie Jackson (Cochran) at ###-###-####. You can check out her work on her web page to see if it fits your style:
http://www.jjphotographyaustin.com/

She did our wedding, family photos (even let us bring the dogs), Easter pix of the new babies, and she's scheduled to shoot my sister-in-law's baby shower soom.

We like her because she will let us do the photo sessions wherever we choose for no extra fee. She gives us the full CD of every photo taken and releases the copyright to us. All for one flat price. She does some other things, like creating black and whites of certain photos, or adding/editing things from others, and just includes them on the CD in case we want to use them.

Oh yeah - forgot to mention how GOOD she is at editing. She edited an ex-boyfriend right out of a big family photo shoot. Made our parents so happy to have pictures of the whole gange - but without someone they were very displeased at seeing. ;-) Hope this helps. E.

I was so happy when I read your request for needing a family photographer here in Austin. I just joined the Mamasource group a few weeks back, my name is M..
My husband, Michael is an amazing photographer. Take a look at his site, www.akashastudios.com.
The studio is off of 620 & 183 area but if you prefer he doesn't mind traveling to your house or to an outside location(Brushy Creek Park and Zilker Botanical Gardens are very nice as well)
Let me know if you would like more info. or would like to view his work.

Hi T.,

It looks like you requested this a few days ago, but I haven't been on. I have a friend that does amazing work! She has done two shoots for us, one last year that we used for Christmas cards and another for my son's newborn pictures. She seems to be a bit more reasonable than some others recommended on here, just from what I can tell. I checked a couple of the other sites.

www.lawanamphotography.com Check out her gallery, I really love how she captures all of the stuff that you don't normally get in the picture. The laughs, the silly faces, the feet of brother and baby, my son laid on a big rock (in a white shirt)and she made a great picture of that! I thought it would be awful, but it really was one of my favorite shots! We also brought our dog to the shoot which you will see us in the gallery with the dalmation. Hope you enjoy the pictures and good luck finding a photographer :)
