See below… I had a big response to my request for recommended photographers – I may have already posted this – they are in no particular order – but here they are either for the first time or once again.

I have no doubt we have many, many more talented photographers in the area. But I wanted to share this list since people took the time and effort to respond to my call out. Thank you for all who did! Linda
