Seeking Artistic Photographer for Pregnancy Photo

Hi!
I would like to have a pregnancy portrait done in the next month or so and I am looking for a good photographer. I do not care for the typical portraits that you would get at a chain-type retailer, I like more of the sophisticated photojournalistic style (and mainly black and whites). I am not looking to spend thousands on this, but I also don't want to compromise quality so somewhere in the middle would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!

What can I do next?

hello,
Here is a photographer you might be interested in.
She's not cheap, but, amazing stuff.
I never did any professional photographs when i was pregnant, and wish i did. (I have 4 children).

She's photographed my children - and has done amazing work.
I know I've seen some photographs of hers of pregnant women and I recall them being beautiful.

Jody Garland takes great photos and has even better prices. Her studio is in Morton Grove, but she is willing to travel (for an extra fee) here is her site: http://homepage.mac.com/jodygarlandportfolio/iMovieTheate...

She has done all my babies photos and some family ones. I have my own pregnancy ones with her in two weeks.

Juana Ryan from www.stellalily.com is fantastic. She has taken all of my children's photos as well as my maternity photos. You can see some of them on her website!

I had a great time shooting with her when I was pregnant. She made me feel so relaxed and special. It was uplifting considering I was 8 months pregnant and not feeling especially photogenic.

Hi H.
I went to Modern Madonnas (Marcia Dabrowski) for both my pregnancy pictures and also newborn photos after the babies were born. She does a great job. Here is her website:
modernmadonnas.com to see her work. She did Kathy from Q101 and one of the news anchors from Channel 5 news. She makes you feel very comfortable. The pictures on the web are nice but she can give you other suggestions too. I went with a casual look with jeans and a tank with my belly showing or a white button up shirt belly showing and jeans. Good Luck.

I had mine done and absolutely love them. I used Bauwerks on fullerton. She was so professional and made a half naked extremely large (8.5 month)pregnant lady feel very comfortable and very beautiful! Hear is her link...http://www.bauwerks.com/

Her website doesn't have a lot of pregnancy pictures on it, but if you would like to see mine I would be happy to email you a couple.

Good luck!
