I am looking for a local photographer with a fairly natural style. I am due at the end of September and also need to have new photos taken of my recently turned 2 year old. Where we lived before we had a great photographer that took pictures in our home and in a local park. We loved her because she was able to catch such great moments without a lot of posing, etc. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated:)

We had some family photos done last fall and I couldn't be happier. She is located in Virginia and does photos in her studio and a park near her house unless you have a specific location that you've already picked out.

Hi A.-
I use Jennifer Kim. She has taken pictures for my firstborn's 1st bday and also newborn pics for my second. She does wonderful work for sessions or events and you can't tell in the pics how hectic it was behind the scenes! Lots of her work is w/Asians obviously since that's her majority network but she does not discriminate:) Seriously though, she is so great and very reasonably priced.

My friend Terri Hughes of Sam Hughes Photography does wonderful family and baby portraits and probably at more reasonable rates than local photographers. They are based in Norfolk, VA but travel here frequently for weddings and portrait appointments. She can do sessions in your home and neighborhood or in nice parks and local landmarks. You can see samples and pricing at www.samhughesphotography.com.

Hi A.,
Katie with Portraitions - Portraits on Location - is wonderful! She has taken many photos for us and our family over the years and we have never been disappointed. We got a lot of compliments on her work. She is incredibly easy to work with, it does not feel like you are posing, and she will capture the moment. Please tell her I referred her to you. www.portraitions.com

Hi A.- I think someone else on Mamasource asked about photographers and I responded to her about Sandy Kavalier. All you have to do is look at her website and you'll see how she can capture the essence of children. She is very well known in the Bethesda/Rockville area and her work is hanging in restaurants and yoga studios. Take a look at the website and judge for yourself. Good Luck!

Great timing! The couple that photographed our wedding just sent me an email. They've finished re-doing their studio and they're offering portrait sessions. The best part is that they're less than a block from a cute little beach and private boardwalk. We had some really stunning shots there during our engagement shoot. Also, they do everything digitally and you can buy the pictures online (or send the links to relatives instead of trying to co-ordinate everyone's orders). I just think they're fantastic.

This is from their email:
The session is $225.00 and includes 1 hour in our studio and whatever and whoever we can shoot in that time.... online coverage... and a credit for your choice of 4 8 by 10 sheets of prints... and special pricing online for
additional prints... If you can't bring your whole family you can bring a girlfriend and her baby....and split your sitting fee...
