I am looking to have my 2 week old photographed by a professional photographer in the area. I found some good ones but they are either really far away or charge a ton of money! I live in the East Valley (Mesa/Tempe) area and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Thanks!

What can I do next?

I have not used this photographer, but I love, love, love her work. Her name is Jackie and I used to work with her. I am not sure on her prices, but I think there might be something on her website in reference to this. Good luck!

www.jackielindforsphoto.com Make sure to check out her blog, as it has some recent photos of newborns!

We use Portrait Innovations for all of our picture taking needs. They are by the Chandler mall, next to Target. Good luck!

I recommend Yesenina at www.yeseniaphotographer.com or email at ____@____.com
She lives in Scottsdale but will travel to where you are. If you want photos taken of him in his own surroundings or outside she does BEAUTIFUL work. She is not set up for in-studio jobs. You can contact Dana Close in Scottsdale as well. You can contact her at www.capturedspiritphotography.com She can take beautiful photos in her studio. I'm not sure how much each charges....but it doesn't hurt to check them out. They are both very talented and wonderful women. If you don't want to pay alot right now...I would definitly keep both of these women in mind for family photos when he's older.

Good luck, congratulations on your new baby and embrace every moment with him.

Hi C.! I highly suggest Jana Miller. She takes excellent photos and is very reasonable, pus she sends you a cd of all your edited photos with a copyright release. She took family photos when my son turned one and I have had several friends use her since then with the same fantastic results. Check out her website at www.forgetmenotbyjana.com

Good Luck!!

When you go to her website you have the option of going to her blog, which shows her recent work or you can go to her website which shows her galleries.
