Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good photographers in the Sac/Carmichael area that are willing to do a shoot at a park that isn't too high priced. I just want a few pics of me and the little guy and his dad this spring and don't have a small fortune to spend. I HATE studio photos and want to get some outdoors. Any suggestions? I have one so far but wanted to compare and see what else is out there.

Thanks!
H.

So What Happened?

Thank you to everyone for all of the great information. I believe I have made a decision - now I'm just waiting until spring and hoping I drop another 20 pounds before the pictures! lol You were all so very helpful and I will keep the information to pass on to others that are interested!

Hi H., I am a local photographer in the Sacto area. I often do my own "Portrait Party" where I invite clients/guests to my house or a local park. It usually revolves around a holiday (Easter, Mother's Day...etc.)There is a low session fee of $25. I haven't set the date for the Easter Portrait Party yet, but I'd be more than happy to add you to my list of contacts. I send out an email with all the info, and you can contact me if you'd like to sign up for a time slot.
Here is my info: www.alysonviducich.com
Or you can email me at: ____@____.com
Thanks & I look forward to hearing from you!

hi H. - i have a GREAT photographer, a longtime friend -http://www.myspace.com/screamingjphotos - his name is j hyde. he's recently started doing open shoot days, where he invites a bunch of people to a park, his studio, wherever, and he gives a great package deal, way more affordable because he divides the session cost among many people. i'm going to get my friends together and do a park day like that. he took all the head shots for my company's business cards, he does weddings, he does soccer teams, way versatile, nice, funny.... i know you'd love his work!

Kandid Kids is by far the best. Its a husband and wife team and they work well with the kids. Not much posing....the take "kandid" pictures of the kids that turn out beautiful.

Hi H.- I do photography on the side and weddings on the side. I work full time so could only do it on a weekend. I have a 3 yr old girl and live in carmichael. I love the park photos - they are the best! I shoot all digital. Are you thinking March or April? When do the flowers start to bloom? That would be a good time. K.

H. -
I just saw your request. I have a wonderful photographer who's located in Orangevale. She's a mom of two young girls so works great with kids. I actually found her via a Starbucks display she had in Granite Bay. I've only done indoor photos with her since it was for my baby's portrait but I know she does outdoor photos, as well. Her name is Kristin Enyart and her website is enyartphotography.com. You can go and look at some of her work directly and see what you think. Hope this helps!

Hello H.,
My sister is a fabulous photographer! She does my family pics and those of my daughter (9 months). She is just now starting her own business, but does have plenty of free time during the week and weekends (besides her 9-5). If you like I can email you some of her work and contact info (privatley). Since her business is pretty new I do not think her prices are high, but that you would have to discuss with her. Also she loves outside pics and does an amazing job!

Good Luck!

Hi H.,

My name is Nikki, I am a mother of 3 1/2 month old twin boys and I dabble a little in photography. I can do your pictures in digital format and give them to you on disc so you can print what you want in the size you want or do whatever you want with them. That would keep your cost down. Just pay me a little for my time and that's it. Shooting outside is my favorite! I have a few photos of some park shots (engagement photos) I took on my web page at froggy5.deviantart.com if you would like to check them out. I have some other family photos I shot in the park (they didn't want to be on the web) I can show you also.

Let me know if you are interested...
