Best photographer in Chicagoland

Do you live in or near Chicago? Do you need a photographer?

May I recommend Giedre?

Inspired by Lindsay's pregnancy photo tradition, I wanted to start the same tradition in our family.

I tell you, it takes some talent to make a woman feel pretty at eight months pregnant! But Giedre is amazing at what she does and she did just that.

Giedre is so much fun to work with. Usually I feel kind of awkward having my photo taken, but she gave us perfectly clear directions and joked around to put us at ease. She even put up with Frank's smart-aleck remarks the whole time. :p

There is something so cool about seeing your friends "at work." Even though Giedre and I have been friends for a while, I'd never seen her in "photographer mode" before. It gave me a whole new respect for her!

Giedre told me these photos are just a "sneak peek," a teaser of what's to come. If this is the sneak peek, I can't even imagine how great the final photos will be! I'm so looking forward to having them around our house and in the baby's photo album.

Thank you so much, Giedre! And again, here is her website. You will love working with her!

Update: I wanted to add this great post by Kathryn, in case anyone is on the fence about getting maternity photos done. Like she says, it's so worth it!
