Finding maternity/Newborn photographers (esp in San Diego)

[hillarywhitney]

I still have quite awhile before I'd need a maternity/newborn photographer. But was doing some initial looking online last night and really have no idea what I'm looking for. Anyone have any suggestions for the San Diego area? Or any tips on how you found your photographer? 

I'm not 100% sure we will do professional pictures. Though I'm hoping we do. My mom has been taking some classes/trying to teach herself to be a better photographer. She got a really nice camera a bit ago. So I'm hoping she'll be able to get some nice ones. But I'd also like to look into hiring a professional.

If you want outdoor newborns, my friend does them. She's based in Temecula, but will travel to San Diego.

Thanks! Does she have a limit of how far she will travel? I'm not all the way in San Diego (the city). But I'm not super close to Temecula. Sorry to be vague with my location. I just get nervous.

I always get nervous about that stuff too, so don't worry.

I'm pretty confident she'll meet you anywhere in the San Diego region, maybe not far south - but honestly don't quote me on that. She's super sweet and if you asked her, she'll let you know.

Thanks again. I'm thinking I will probably send her an email. Her pictures are beautiful. I hadn't realized people specialized in outdoor newborn photography. Shows how much I know

I don't think most do. She started doing it because she liked it, but she has a 'real' job as well - so she's just specialized in what she likes best.
