Kid-friendly photographers?

[greyautumnrain.livejournal.com]

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.

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?
