Much thanks to everyone for their amazing baby photographer suggestions! We really appreciate everyone's help. After contacting each and every one of them, and comparing our options, we finally decided to work with Julie Kittredge from the northwest burbs. Since all of the photographers said it was very important to capture photos of the baby within 10 days of giving birth, before any sort of baby acne creeps up, we have tentatively booked a two-hour newborn session with Julie on Friday, June 15th. She is flexible and has promised to change the date depending on what happens! Julie plans on coming to our home, so we don't have to worry about getting Chickie all dolled up and out the door, and will take pictures of Chickie, Chris, and I - in different combinations - throughout the nursery and living room. Julie really sold us on the warmth of her emails, and her beautiful website and blog. Definitely check her out if you're in need of a great photographer: http://www.juliekittredge.com/
