With DD #1 we used Bella Baby photos that were taken in the hospital. i wasn't crazy about them and this time I would like to find a photographer to take them in our house and also get a few sibling/family photos but primarily focus on newborn photos.
I would like to find somebody for under $300 and have that include EVERYTHING - coming to our house, digital photos, etc. I have a couple possibilities but am not thrilled with either option now. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! It is so hard to search on the internet since it seems only the large (expensive!) photographers come up.
Thanks!
ETA: I am in the western suburbs - Naperville area

Re: Newborn photographers
We used AO Photographers to document our LO's first year of life (maternity, newborn, 3mo, 6mo, 9mo, 1 yr) and loved them! In fact, if I remember correctly, there have been a few others on this board who have also used them and were very pleased. They are a husband and wife team who love photography and are very creative.I put just a couple of photos from J's newborn shoot at the bottom
You can find them via their website or on facebook
To be honest, I had stopped recommending them as much on the board a couple of months ago since they moved to MI but then heard that they come back to the city & surrounding area quite frequently for various shoots so here I am throwing out there name again!

I second this. Their FB page is at https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Kalweit-Photography/142751612495866?fref=ts. He will work with you on everything and takes beautiful pictures of children.

Friends of mine have loved Amy Skala who is based in the Naperville area: https://www.amyskalaphotography.com/
Jessica Jill Photography is absolutely amazing. She has done all the photos for my three kids!

We are using Monika Thorpe (www.monikathorpe.com)
She did our maternity pictures and they came out fantastic!!
I'm not sure if they come to your house, but I am looking at two photographers that my friends have recommended to me and they are under $300 and include all your digital photos and props:
Jill Kelly Photography
https://www.jillkellyphotography.com/index2.php#/rgallery/1/
I believe is $250 a session, about 2 hours, and my friend got 130 photos.
Miss Suzanne Photography

The session is $125 for an hour and a half and you get 35-45 photos.
