I need your assistance in finding just the perfect photographer. I am looking to preserve wonderful memories with some new portraits of my young adult sons. I would like this to be in an outdoor setting as well as indoor if possible. My youngest son is disabled and sometimes the settings in the studios are not very wheelchair friendly. I am also cost conscious. Sometimes the studios seem so very expensive.
I would be so grateful for your recommendations.

What can I do next?

We really like Michelle Roles. Her website is www.michellerolesphotography.com and you can see some great examples of her work there. You might want to ask if she's offering any specials waiving the session fee.

I would recommend Memory Layne Photography by Alayne Vogel. She works out of Glendale and her # is ###-###-####. She's a super sweet and very friendly person. I don't know what her fees are, but I'm certain she'd be willing to work with any special needs you would have for your shoot.

Well I know a great photographer he is very nice and does great work and is cheaper then most best of all he will come to you. He has a myspace account: http://www.myspace.com/cadiman26
You can view some of his pictures there and also at:
http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c239/mobilcams/
on that one you have to choose from the menu on the left. But he mostly does bands but he does a very good job on all other events. He did wonderful pictures of my daughters for me and my friends wedding as well so plese at least check him out. On his myspace account he lists his business phone number, but if you can't find it please let me know and I will give it to you.

Hi there, N.!

My friend, Walter, is a professional photographer and I highly recommend him. We are asking him to photograph our baby's 1 yr photos and family photos in June. His cost is very reasonable and I believe he's willing to take photos in your home, if that's more convenient than traveling. His is kind, personable and flexible.

Here is his personal contact info: ____@____.com

The best to you!

Hello,

My name is A. Penberthy and I am a photographer. I just had my second baby in March and have started a photography business so I can try to work from home. I just started a My Space page for my business, but it is not done yet. I would love to photograph your boys, if you would let me. My pricing will be on the My Space page soon. Please let me know if you are interested at all. Thank you!

A wife of one of the guys I work with does professional photography on the side. I don't know what her rates are but I don't think she's overpriced and she may be flexible depending on your situation but I know she will travel to a site for pics. Check out her website, there are some neat pics from the March category under the heading "Band of Brothers" and also some really nice outdoor ones from the Hassayampa River taken in Feb. She may even know of a really nice outdoor setting. Good luck!!

Hi N.! I am a photographer and would love to see if my services meet your needs. I shoot primarily outdoors at places like Saguaro Ranch Park in Glendale. My sitting fee is $120 and that includes your session as well as anywhere from 20 to 30 4x6 inch proofs for you to keep. My website is web.mac.com/angelaslater if you would like to see some of my work (there is a page of family pictures you can view)
Good luck! I hope you find the perfect person for what you're looking for! Pictures are so important-time goes by so quickly!
Take care!A.

I have used them for the past 4 years. They do on location sessions. So what ever you want they can do. They are very reasonable since they are still fairly new. They have a session fee and then charge for the CD so you can have all the shots and print them as you wish. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended
