Love Shira Z. She's a vendor on here and some pics are in my album from her. She also has a daughter the same age as my son.

Edited to add her website...

I've used Heather from Forever Fireflies. I like her because she will get any of the customary shots that you may want but there will always be additional unique shots in every shoot. As an added bonus for you, she has experience with multiples.

I second using Lori! She did our newborn shoot and we loved her and her work. If you go to her website and go to her blog, click on August, my munchkin is the last August entry

Re: Need help picking a photgrapher

Honestly, all the photographers on this site are good. They will all have their "issues" with one customers like any other business. Some have been made public here, some have not.

So you will hear "pick her", "no, pick her", "no use mine".

In the end, go to their website and get a feel for the style of pics you like best.

Narrow it down and contact those that you like best. Then check price and availablity.

I totally agree with this. I do all my own photography and for friends and family. However if I were to use someone else, I would start by looking at style then price and then personality/comfort level.

I completely agree. I would do it soon though because they do book up rather quickly.

Can't wait to see the photos!

I am biased because she is my sister, but I LOVE the cake smash pics she took of my son. More pics can be seen in my album-click here! This was her first cake smash shoot ever, she has gotten even better now!

I vote for Heather at Foreverfireflies. I had difficulties getting in touch with Summer and thought I had an appointment scheduled but did not receive a confirmation about that.
