Question: Portrait of the editrix as a young woman

orange swan — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 12:29:33 -0800

I'd like to have a nice formal picture of me for inclusion in my Christmas cards. Can anyone recommend a good Toronto-area photographer? "Good" in this instance means both "technically skilled if not possessed of wizard-like abilities" and "charges reasonable prices" as I am a) vain, b) plain, and c) cheap. Email me with contact info if you don't care to share the person's identity with the world. Thanks!

Do you really want a "formal" sitting for a holiday card? I ask just because it seems so strange to me. Or do you just want one that's professionally done?

One that's professionally done, I suppose. It's not going to be part of the card. I'm just going to slip in wallet-sized snapshots into the cards for those people who might care to have one.

With god as my witness, the nicest photo we ever got taken of our kids (who photographs parents?) was at - wait for it - Loblaws. See the PhotoLab location page. It was better than Sears (for what that's worth) and a lot cheaper.

This is more the plain & cheap end of the spectrum, but I was really pleased with their quality.

I know not one but several awesome portrait photographers in Toronto, so I'm e-mailing you right now with lots of links to pictures and contact info.
They're all really busy with other things too, which is the only reason I'm not putting their names on here.

Okay, it wasn't the only reason - I also didn't want to rank them in public...

Easternblot's list of photographers is great. If she'd felt able to list their names here, she would get a best answer mark.
