The last time I had professional portraits taken of my kids was over two years ago, just before Sears Portrait Studio (which is what I had been using) closed down. I'd really like to get another round of professional portraits done. I could try JCPenny out in a few distant suburban malls, or a more expensive chain that a friend had tried and wasn't impressed by, but I figured I'd ask if there were any local photographers that I could use instead. (Web searches have mostly turned up wedding photographers.)

What I'm looking for is at least 30 minutes with a photographer who has some experience getting moderately well behaved but young kids to cooperate. I'm looking for a few individual shots of each child plus some group shots. I prefer studio shot like the one in my userpic, as the focus is on the kids and the studio setting helps keep the little ones focused. I'd like to get a digital copy of all the pictures and a copyright release so I can print the pictures, post them oneline, use them for a new userpic, etc. Getting shots of three small children smiling and looking in the same direction at the same time is a skill that I am willing to pay for.

Not local to Davis Square, but we've had good results with Meghan Moore up in Lowell (http://megpix.com/). http://megpix.com/pricing/free-photo-shoots has details about her 30-minute in-studio shoots, and she's also done similar unscheduled things during open-studios type things, but I don't know if those are still happening or if she's still doing them.

We've also used Meg with our kids, and the photos were fantastic. She was splitting her time between Lowell & Somerville at one point, not sure if she's still doing that, but you could try calling her and asking?

I know someone that I think would be perfect, but I'm not sure what her terms are so I sent this post to her and maybe she'll come comment :)

Her name's Jenn Sagotsky, and she does kid photography local to Davis Square. IIRC she doesn't do studio shots though -- you choose a location with her.

Molly Tomlinson has photographed my kid (spectacularly, in my not at all biased opinion :), her own kid, and lots of other people's kids: http://www.photoclave.com/
