Vanessa...and those who haven't booked a baby photog. yet

I saw this posted on another board and thought it was a great way to find an "up and coming" photographer like I mentioned in my previous post... I don't venture onto many other boards so didn't even know about this...it's a great idea :)

post your request for a photographer on the bump PHOTO board, skip the part about money, (although you could mention you're on a tight bidget) and say whether or not you'd be willing to consider someone just starting out, or "portfolio building."  They should have something to show you, as far as what they've done, what gear they shoot with, etc.

Give them your email or ask for PM'.... no one can do biz on that board out loud.

There's some serious talent on that board, and I bet someone lives in your area.  You may be able to find someone to "grow" with, and meet with them as your baby grows, and someday, when they're charging $250 + prints, you'll say you knew them when! ;-)

  • That's great info Jaime!  Thanks for sharing.  I wonder if it would work for family photos, not just BUMP photos.  We had family pics done for Christmas and not only is the 1 hr session kind of pricey, I couldn't find anyone to give me the pics on disk like the wedding photogs.

    I am sending you a PM, but I don't see why not!

  • Great idea! I bet it would work for families too like EClaire said :)

  • Great idea! I don't know if you guys have mentioned this before or not but I found a photographer who is trying to build up her portfolio on Craigslist. I went to the babies/kids section where you can sell used kids stuff and typed in photographer. I found one for $40 that includes 25 prints and the copyright to those prints!!! I'm so grateful I found her because otherwise we wouldn't be able to get pro photos. Now we're getting some semi-pro photos, yay!
  • really great idea...I will have to check out the Bump's Photo Board & Craigslist too!
