Hi- I am about 34 weeks pregnant with our first and was looking for a recommendation in the Palatine/NW area for a photographer who does maternity photos. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you to everyone who sent photography recommendations. I had really planned to do pictures that week I asked. I didn't, however, get the chance. I went into early labor the next day and had to have an emergency c-section. Our little guy was in the nicu for a bit but is now home and we're doing well. Hopefully we'll be able to use some of those suggestions for when we get his pictures taken!

Hi E.,
I use a wonderful photographer named Gretchen Clemens. Gretchen is a stay at home mom who dabbles in photography for fun in order to provide a less expensive alternative for parents. She's photographed my daughter from day 1 and will be doing my maternity photos for baby number 2 as well. We get tons of compliments on her photos. She is located in Libertyville. You can visit her website at www.clemenshome.com
Congrats and good luck!

Congratulations - how exciting, especially the first time!
I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls. Yes, I have a GREAT lady - Her name is Mariestella. She is an artist and a photographer and is very good. Her phone number is ###-###-####. They are moving from Roselle to 191 E Golf Rd in Schaumburg right now and should be up and running there in a week or two.
On another note, I am also a business owner in Palatine & Schaumburg and am looking to network and get my name out there. I help families get out of debt and save for kids college and retirement. We show you things that credit card, insurance and mortgage companies don't want you to know. I would love to meet you for a cup of coffee for about 20 minutes and give you a little more information. There is no cost or obligation. If you see something you are interested in, great. If not, maybe you know someone else I could speak with. You can reach me at ###-###-####. Thanks for your help.

Hi E. -
I'm not positive if they do maternity photos, but Kramer Photographers in Palatine does really nice portrait and event work. We had our engagement/wedding photos through them. Here's the website, worth a call:
