Lori Dorman Photography
1638 Santa Barbara Ave.
Glendale, CA 91208
(818) 247-0200
www.loridorman.com
Newborns are Lori Dorman's domain when it comes to capturing the spirit of the very young, but this photographer is just as adept at shooting the older set, too. Happy clients who have sought out this Glendale-based portrait shooter say Lori is not only an expert at her craft, but an expert at getting her subjects to express themselves while she takes control of the lens. With that in mind, remember that Dorman is on her game both with the camera and with the amount of patience it takes to produce a slew of shots that make going to get your portrait done a treat instead of a necessary right of passage for many parents. Consider Lori Dorman for your maternity photos, too.
Flash Frozen Photography

Woodland Hills, CA 91364
(818) 888-2280

This photo firm located in The Valley is such a gem that one client called Flash Frozen "the Rolls Royce of photography." Not only is Kathy, the lenswoman on the books, touted for her technical abilities but also for the way she works with her subjects. She makes sure that everyone who stands in front of her camera is not only comfortable but is also having a lot of fun. After the prints are produced, Flash Frozen will recommend a couple of Southland framers this veteran company has been using with great success so you can go from one outlet to the other with the knowledge that once you have the perfect portrait of your children at any and every age, it will be ready for the wall of fame in your house.
