Maternity Photos

Jmertz

Has one had professional "belly" shots taken in the Mpls area? I'm looking for a photographer that doesn't cost a fortune but will take some fun and unique/artistic belly shots for us. Both dad and I.

FYI you can also get a free maternity photo at Babies R Us .  My sister did it last week, Im going this week to do it. 

 also, my girlfriend told me about this woman who is doing a project at the UofM and will come take a photo of you in your nursery while you are pregnant.  we are doing it in March.  Here is her website https://www.donaschwartz.com/

 

On a side note, how does everyone find those cool icons that say fun things in their signatures....and please tell me what DH means!

You can find lots of fun little icons by googling "blinkies", that's what they are called. Or just ask to steal one from someone else if you see it and like it.

Update to my recommendation:

Her work is fabulous - preemo - wonderful - fresh - fun. All those things.

Her prices for prints are not all those things. Example: $22 for a 4x6 image. Holy crap. And hundreds of dollars for a basic CD of images w/ print purchase, over $1k for a hi res CD of images w/o print purchase. I hope she realizes these prices are quite extreme and lowers them in the future.

My sister in-law started her own photography studio and would love to specialize in pregnancy and birth shots.  Her website is www.melissalynportraits.wordpress.com

 

Good luck!
