I am looking for a photographer to take a family picture this summer. We would like to have pictures taken outside at a park or other location. We live in the east metro.

www.cksphotography.com - Amazing photos! She does the work on the side so she is more reasonably priced but does awesome work! The baby on the site is mine :)

I would recommend giving Jackie Boldt a try (www.jackieboldtphotography.com). She is a photographer out of Eagan. She has a studio there for indoor shots but is willing to travel to get the right outdoor shot. She did our wedding last year and our family pictures. She is great to work with -- listens to your wants and needs -- and is economical (and you get to keep the originals).

Good luck.

I highly recommend Melissa Christenson from Journeys of Life Photography, she is absolutely wonderful with families and will meet you anywhere. Her prices are great and the best thing is YOU own the rights to the photo so you can get them printed anywhere as many times as you would like! Here is the link to her website: http://journeysoflifephotography.com My family is on it in a couple different spots, we've been using her for years =)

I used www.3peasphotography.com for mine - my husband cried when he saw the photos..

Amy is the name of the photographer and , honestly, i couldn't recommend her highly enough. My kids are not the easiest to work with and i wanted outdoor pics too. She hiked after them through some pretty tough places and there was even some tree climbing involved. Have a look at her website - she has a blog too which i think you can get too from the regular website.
I think i have a bunch of vouchers somewhere - if you decide to go with her drop me an email with your address and i'll post one.

good luck!

I HIGHLY recommend Melissa Miroslavich at www.miroslavichphotography.com. She has an awesome studio in St. Paul and great places for outdoor shots. She is wonderful with kids and you'll get great shots and can purchase unique pieces that you don't find everywhere.

We have absolutely LOVED The Photographer's Guild (www.photographersguild.com)! They are based in St Paul, but I know they do weddings on location (and high school class photos), so I'm sure they'd be willing to come to you. They are simply wonderful people, and do fantastic work. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Hi A. K,

I hired Sharolyn Hagen who is based in Mpls. to take a professional photo for my website [see www.revitalizecoaching.com] and working with her was a blast.

She actually specializes in kids and I think she'd do an excellent job for you and your family.

I highly recommend Eileen of Spirit Grove Photography in Roseville. www.spiritgrove.com ###-###-#### She has a blog so that friends and family from out of town can see and comment on her work after she takes your photos as well. She really tailors the session to your children and family's needs, which I truly appreciated as a mom of a newborn. We took our son there for his 3 month photos. She is located just north of 36 on Lexington, so very close to both Central Park in Roseville as well as Lake Josephine (?), both of which would be great for outdoor shots. Give her a call and let her know that M. and Joseph referred you.

I have several friends that are semiprofessional (read: they have a day job) photographers. Dave Whitaker and his co-lady are a little more well-established but my friends Matt and Matt (who can work together or apart, depending) have done great things, including my wedding (as well as lots of others'). I'm hitting up Matt Baxter and his wife to do some portraits out at the stone arch bridge of my sweetie and I for our 5 year anniversary and some 1-year-old pics while we're at it.
