Can ayone suggest a good photographer in / around the accrington area?

garth Dawsons is a good one.... but quite expensive. Depends what you want.

I'm after a profesional, good photo of me and the twins (or maybe just the twins depending on which looks better)

Reg Whittam.

Yes, we've used him in the past for photos and been very happy with them.

If you wait until later in the year Garth Dawson will do them for free, as part of the Observer's bonny baby competition.

My brother got a 'free' voucher with his car, for a session with a photographer in Blackburn.

It ended up costing over seven hundred quid!

Yes, they're a swizz those 'free' sessions. The sessions are free but if you actually want to buy any of the photos the prices are astronomical.

Not a bad idea, that.

You pay £1 to place the child in the competition and then you can buy a pack of the photo that was in the paper in various sizes. The cost for the pack is about £25.

Steve Richardson took Siobhan's photo at nursery last week, it was an excellent picture of which we will be buying copies of for the family.

Siobhan is normally very wary of people taking her picture except for her "daddy" but was quite happy for Steve to take her picture. Ian as an amateur photographer is happy with the picture taken, which is as good a recomendation as you can get and Siobhan was very comfy with him.
