Family Photographer

Hey there!

I have a photographer that I love, love, love!! He works out of his home in Lees Summit, MO - but it is more than worth the drive. In terms of reasonably priced, I definately think it is worth it for the quality of his work. His sessions are very free-form, relaxing, and the photos are amazing. The website is www.sidewayssmiles.com. I always brag about him when I get the chance. The photos that he has taken of my son, my husband and I are creative, and perfect. If this doesn't work out for you, I hope you find someone that does!

Thanks!

We really like Studio 101 (I think that's what they're called) in the Great Mall of the Great Plains in Olathe. They were really good with my daughter (now 20 months) and got her to smile last year at our christmas pictures. She wouldn't smile for the photographer we went to at Walmart, but this was a man/woman team that worked well together and got her to smile easily. You can see your proofs within minutes and get prints in about an hour. It took only a week to get our Christmas cards. Their prices are reasonable too. Good luck!

Hi S.! My sister-n-law started her photography business and I personally think she takes some pretty awesome pictures! She doesn't have that many kid pictures yet because she really only has my 5 month old to work with until she finds more clients. She really has a heart for kids and I think she would meet your expectations. See for yourself! Her website address is www.rainsfoto.com! I hope I've helped you!

I'm not sure what part of the city you are in but Rolland Studios is good from what I have seen; they do school pictures but they do other stuff also their web site is www.rollandstudiosinc.com they are located in Raytown. There is also a young man named Christpoher Maxwell, http://www.christophermaxwell.com/ he is a very nice young man this is that is the link to his website. Hope these help.

They are awesome!

S., I always use Photo Studios 101 in the Great Mall. They are similiar to your old photo store, but we always have great luck with them!!!

Ann Dillon, who is a member of Mamasource, is a local photographer. She's very good. I'm sure you find her through the local business reviews on this board. And, you sort of already know her:-).
Good luck!

I highly recommend the Picture People at Oak Park Mall. Ask for Chris, he's a manager and a great photographer (yes, he's one of my friends, but he really is good). They never have a sitting fee, and you get your pictures the same day!

Hi S.! I keep using Jenny Wheat at www.wheatphotography.com She does an excellent job, makes you feel comfortable, and is very reasonable! I also have a 3 year old boy and he hates to have his picture made. She got some great shots of him! She is open to ideas and props too.
Good luck!

We have used Kevin Wilmes since our 2 year old was first born. He has a studio in the basement of his home in Lees Summit. You can check out his work at sidewayssmiles.com. Our son is also full of energy and Kevins works very will with him.

If you go, tell him that the Nevins family sent you-we get discounts on photos!!

Hi S.,

I love this guy, his name is Benjamin Breth, I have been helping him with some pictures at school today and he is awesome! We have been calling him for the past 2 years since the pictures aren't still like the ones we use to get before. He does an amazing job with the kids and he is really nice too.

Here is his phone number: ###-###-####

You can tell him that on eof the moms at MIll Creek (That is my daughter's school) recommend him. He'll know because I asked him his number for you.

He also works for Lifetouch at ( ____@____.com ), but I would call him, I can imagine that the price might be a lot better!:)

Good luck and have a great family picture!

Tammy is very reasonable and often offers specials. She can go anywhere or you can use her studio and garden. Lots of variety.
