Hi,
We recently had a sudden death in the extended family and it made me realize how important family is... We are having a family reunion during Thanksgiving and I wanted family portraits done at home...Anyone know of a reasonably priced, affordable photographer who would travel to North Dallas sometime on Thanksgiving weekend?
Thanks in advance!
M.

What can I do next?

Our family uses Sara Dane Scott for our photos. She is wonderfully talented and has great prices too. Her studio is located in McKinney at the Cotton Mill. I am certain she travels since she does weddings and all kinds of photos. Here is her website address - sdsphotography.com OR littleonesrock.com. She was featured recently in D Magazine, the June issue I think. She is friendly and will work with you to get the most incredible photos! Good luck on your family photos! I am sorry for your recent loss.

We just had our entire family and sister's family done as a gift my mom's 60th birthday. We used a VERY reasonably priced photographer who did a GREAT job. Her name is Stephanie McLaughlin - www.mcpictures.com . Not too sure if she has Thanksgiving week open, but you should give her a call. She charged us only a $35 sitting fee - and her picture prices are very reasonable. (see below)

You might try DaVinci Portraits. I'm not sure what their sitting fee is, because we had a gift certificate, but the prices of their actual portraits are less than many we've used. Additionally, they travel to do their sessions (usually outdoors). ###-###-####

WE LOVE Shirley at
www.ccharrisphotography.com
she is a mom that does this on the side...not sure if she is available at thanksgiving, but you should check her site out! She is wonderful and got some AMAZING shots of us for Easter.
She had really neat ideas.
Rather reasonable. I think 50.00 sitting fee applicable to purchase. We bought the whole CD of like 20 edited photos for 200.00. With extended family pitching in, that would be CHEAP and you can print all you want of whatever you want. I will not go to another person again.
We are due in Dec. and I will for sure go back to her for newborn/family shoot.

I would call Johnita @ Salerno Expressions (www.salernoexpressions.com - she just took famliy photos of us this weekend... not to mention my preggo photos and photos of my newborn in the hospital. She is a one-of-a-kind gal who was great with all of us - our family photo included the newborn and my 3 y/o & 5 y/o.... patience of an angel - she knew exactly what to do with the kids when they were in the photo and how to have the "help" when she was just taking photos of my DH, newborn and myself.

Good luck - D. (Frisco)

Hi M., you should try Salerno Expressions. I have not had a family photo done by her yet, but she did a great outdoor modeling session with my son, and had a great eye and good location suggestions. She does lifestyle photography vs the standard JC Penny, Olan Mills poses (you know.. boring hands across laps, or on the shoulder of another)
Check out her site- www.salernoexpressions.com/

Hi M.,

Check out www.laurenlarsen.com. She's amazing. She's young and has just started her own studio recently... she has an AMAZING eye and a great gift. Her portraits are gorgeous and so unique... she captures people's personalities so well. She has a brand new baby (a month old today), but I bet by November, she'll be up to getting out again. I know she's been anxious to "create" again.

blessings,
S.
