Veteran kids' photographer Bentley Waters shoots for a natural, documentary style, and her photos of children capture this unstaged aesthetic.

For birthday parties, Waters comes prior to the event to take family photos and will stay for the length of the party. Waters uses a digital camera but can also shoot film if requested.

Waters's $550 base fee covers a party of about ten children as well as an online gallery of pictures or a set of 4x6 proofs. Extras include photo CDs ($250), prints ($10 and up) and handmade photo albums. Black and white images are also available.

Please book about a month in advance.
