Pregnancy/Newborn Photographer
Can anyone recommend a good pregnancy/newborn photographer in the DSM area? I don't know if my google skills have been affected by baby brain or what, but I can't seem to find anything. I'd like to use the same person for everything, and would greatly prefer owning the rights to the photos (which was easy to find for our wedding, but seems more difficult for this...).
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

betsy rudicil is AMAZING. www.rudicilphotography.com
How far along are you?
I recommend Cristi Rittgers from Lemon Tree Photography, she is doing my mangaer's wife pictures. She also did my daughter's 18mth pictures.
Here is her FB page:

There are a few local nesties you could consider.

ShuTree and hope2send are amazing as well. I don't think they post very often, so it might be tough to get a hold of them.
I love.love.love Alyssa Gaskill.Her website includes pricing info (and she's very reasonabley priced)!
Here's her website:

She did our newborn photos and did an awesome job!
I always get overwhelmed by photography posts because there are SOOOO many wonderful photographers in the DSM area.
I always suggest the following three to clients. All three of these women have also done profesional photography for me too. All very talented.
http://www.objectsphotography.com/ -- Andrea S -- also a doula and very passionate about everything pregnancy, chidbirth, and newborn!
http://www.andreagphoto.com/ -- Andrea G (currently on maternity leave) very talented. Did our maternity photos and newborn photos.
http://www.lucyelaynephotography.com/ -- Lucy, a friend of mine who is new to the DSM area (moved from Portland). Just starting her business. Her work is awe-inspiring!
