Recs for great photographers

leslada

Hi ladies,

I'm starting to research photographers to take newborn pictures.  Any recs out there?  Searching for a wedding photographer was so much easier!

TIA

Most of the area hospitals have Bella Baby come to the room and they are great.  For an in home photographer I would have to recommend Katie Ryan Photography, she has worked with several of the Chicago girls on the boards as well and my DS just got his 6 month pics done today.  Her website is www.katieryan.com

Jody Garland Design and Photography did my wedding. She is inexpensive and fun. She really does weddings so that later she can photograph your kids. I enjoyed working with her and would recommend her highly.

Kristina Carter. kristinacarter.com  She was our wedding photographer but she does expectant photos, baby portraits and family portraits. She is AMAZING.. If you can afford her, go for it!

My friend's husband is a photographer and has done our wedding as well as our baby photos. ?He's really laid back and does a great job - he's like a fly on the wall and quietly snaps away! ?Reasonable too...here's his site?https://bryanschulz.com/photography.htm

I agree with the pp about Bella Baby in the hospitals.  I know they are pretty much in all hospitals in the Chicago area.  They do beautil work!

Also, I have made plans to have a nestie do pics for us in the begining of August.  Her nest/bump name is Maydaygirl.  Here's her photography website:

She's willing to travel and from NW burbs.  Her rate for us to come to her was $75 including a CD and copyright.  To travel $125 plus gas with CD and copyright (great deal if you ask me!)

I only use Katrina Wittkamp (Katrinawittkamp.com)  She is a commercial photographer and I think she looks at things differently from other professional photographers.  She can be affordable or expensive - depending on your desires.  She's also a mother of two!
