I will preface this review by saying that we had our son's portraits done with a special that waived the sitting fee. I probably wouldn't have done it otherwise b/c it's so expensive, but I'm so glad that we did. The pictures Kevin took are so beautiful. They didn't pressure me at all, and even got the prints to me in time for Mother's Day. I am so happy to have my son's little chubby babiness captured so beautifully.

I am new to this site, but love the info I find. I have been a long time client and big fan of Kevin's at Classic Kids. I've been going since he opened there years ago! My daughter and I go every year. It is always an amazing experinece and he gets the best shots! Very unique work, great service...and I must say the prices are not that outrageous, so I disagree with the below review. You go there and spend what you want. Granted, you want to buy every photos, so yes it can get very pricey! But, their prints start at $105...and my average order is never ever as high as stated below...anyway, it's worth every dime and the best yearly purhcase I make.

Kevin got great shots, and I have not seen many baby photographers do black and white, but be prepared to spend a fortune. The sitting fee is $295 + $35 per extra person for about an hour, and each print is at least $125. There are extra services for color touches, retouching, etc. for the baby parts, it is at least $1000, and this does NOT include the mats and framing. Most orders I saw were $8000 - $10,000. So if you have the money, go for it! I also felt the sales girl really pressured use to buy all the shots, and get large sizes and color tinting even though we said we were on a budget and didn't have space. go in there knowing exactly what you can spend and your space!

My Kids are the toughest. We call my 16 month old "velcro" baby. He doesn't even like it when his dad holds him. Kevin and Cynthia were amazing! The baby was in a bad mood, but they got him doing all his crazy funny things! They aren't cheap, but IT WAS WORTH EVERY LAST DIME. The pics are truly works of art!!!
