The last thing you need from Cupid is another box of misshapen bonbons. But a lasting photo of your mini valentine? Picture it with the help of these top local shooters.

The Chronologist
Rachel Hudgins playfully documents life’s little moments (baths, school drop-off, crawling sprees). Her Breakfast to Bedtime package captures an entire day’s activities. And with A Year of Portraits, she swings by each month to snap baby’s transformation.

The Best Buddy
Eve Kakassy of Petite Simone slips in like an old friend, choosing relaxed shoot sites like playgrounds or park benches. A whiz with natural light, she uses a variety of cameras (Polaroid, Holga, pinhole, digital) for a range of results.

The Class Act
Children, families, dogs, and favorite toys are fair game for fine art photographer Davina Zagury. Working in her studio, your home, or outdoors, Zagury coaxes smiles from even grumpy posers and puts everything in a beautiful light.

At last — something clicked.
