Family/baby photographer in Berkeley for November
Can any recommend a good photographer for some family photos?
I'd love to find a photographer that's reasonably priced and pleasant to work with to take some photos of me, my husband and our 8 month old daughter in time for the holidays (aka available to shoot in November).
I found a photographer we like but she only serves SF - it would be great to find someone East Bay local. There are so many photographers to choose from - I figured I'd ask for a BPN recommendation! Thank you everyone.

We got GREAT family pictures from Arlene Easterwood this past summer. She came to our house in Richmond (though she does other locations if we'd been interested in that) for about an hour photoshoot. It included myself, my husband, our 3-year old son, and 9-month old daughter. I'd never actually had professional pictures taken, but she was able to get everyone to feel relaxed (and had a fantastic manner with the kids to keep them engaged). The pictures turned out incredibly, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

(We found her through 510 Families who also has an extensive list of local photographers, if you are looking for a different sort of style.)
Shoey Sindel!
She did our wedding photography, did a wonderful job, and is so personable and wonderful to be around. Her office is on Solano Avenue in Berkeley.

We love Kimberly Dillon! She is so great at getting babies and kids to smile and is really efficient and professional. Based in SF but will happily travel: www.ksienkphotography.com
We used Halona Photography and Rhea is amazing. She's a lifestyle photographer which is more casual photos done in your home that's very unique to you and your family. Compared to costs in the Bay Area, she was very reasonably priced and absolutely love the photos we got from our family session. Check out her site here.
I recently had photos with Leigh Ann Pincus Photography. She was so friendly and easy to work with, and I loved the photos.

Absolutely love Flee of Fotos by Flee. She did Christmas card photos for us last year, and family photos this year with our newest baby. She also ran into us while taking photos for a local business and snapped a candid of our kids which she graciously sent on. She is a prolific auntie so very good and relaxed with small kids.

We’re having Nissa do our family photos this year. It’s our first time doing photos with her, but she’s a lovely person and I think she’ll be amazing. I think she specializes in baby photos. Good luck!
We love Shoey Sindel. She’s an amazing photographer on Solano. She’s so good with people with her fun and calming energy. Whether with babies or adults, she catches these moments when you are naturally you. She’s also reasonably priced. Shoey’s number: (510) 917-0659. AJ
