But since I always recomend Amanda, I need help!
Amanda and I had decided to wait until May to do El's 1year pictures. And with everything that's happened there is NO way I am asking her to make time for us. She needs to be with family and to take care of herself.
So I need some photographers recs. Any and all are welcome. I'm thinking I'm going to have to turn this into a mini family shoot, as my sister will be home for a few weeks before they move to Germany for 3years. This time her husband will be here for the pictures. So there will be 4adults 3kids, a 9yr old, 5yr old and of course Ella.
Nuzie- I couldn't find a recent post of yours or else I would have PM'd you. and Jess, can you tell me how your gal is like w/ kids?
Re: I know this is asked a lot...
We just used Alyssa from AG Design and Photography. I have pictures up on FB and I'm super happy with how they turned out. You would never guess that Ashlynn was a grumpy pants the whole time. I was worried we wouldn't get any shots of smiling kids but she did it. Her website is www.agdesignink.com Our pictures are now on like the third page cause she has had several shoots in the past week. I know she is getting pretty booked up though because she only does it on the sides but she is definitely worth asking.

We have always used Nuzum Photo and LOVE their work. I think we may try another friends rec of Lemon Tree Photography this summer.
Both are friends of mine on FB.
We use Sarah Moore in Boone.

She will shoot on location. She is great, great, great with kids and has 3 of her own, the youngest being 1.5 or so.
I don't know if you are still looking for recommendations but we just got family pics and 2 year pictures for C done with Mandy Smith. Here's her website and link to her Facebook page where she just posted some of our pictures. They turned out so cute, she was great at working with small kids and it was VERY affordable. We will be using her again when we have the new baby.
