I am 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on photo galleries in the Independence, Blue Springs, Lee Summit area. I am wanting to get some maternity photos and then baby pics. All of the places I have tried seem so expensive for what you get.

What can I do next?

I actually went to Target. They have great ideas and went with the ideas that I had. You can do as many clothing changes as you want and they will take a picture of your bare belly (I had a bra that kind of looked like a bikini top. They were so awesome.

Hello M.~ I have gone to an AMAZING photographer ever since my daughter was born. Her website is www.m-mphoto.com -its called Moments & Memories. He name is Jennifer Frechin. Just get on her website and you will see what i mean. Her pictures are BY FAR- the best i have ever had. She specializes in newborns and children- they are her passion and it truly shows in her pictures. She isn't the most expensive i have seen but she isn't the cheapest. She used to be dirt cheap but her prices have recently gone up. I would reccommend her above anyone else. I made the mistake of going to Target for my daugther's 6 month picutres after getting my newborn pictures done by Jennifer and i have never really been happy with them- and i ended up paying almost as much- because Target and all those places are cheap as long as you only want 1 pose. But they NAIL you bigtime if you want more than one pose- which i did so i almost paid th same amount anyways.
Because you can buy picutres single or in a package from Jennifer. She does it out of her home. I promise you would not be dissappointed. If you have a newborn- you just call a few days after you get home from the hospital and she will work you in.
Anyways- check out her galleries on her website- they are amazing!

Check out Abundant Moments in Lee's Summit. The photographer, Debbie Lawrence, has a studio in her basement but also does something neat where some comes to the hospital and photographs your newborn. We love the pictures we have received and have used her for newborn, 3 month, 6 month & year pictures. She's great with kids & is very easy to work with. Check her out at www.abundantmoments.com

M. - I happen to be an aspiring photographer and trying to get my "shop" going, so my pricing isn't nearly as expensive as a traditional studio. You can view my work at www.picturetrail.com/vparis and contact me through the guestbook or through my phone number on the site. I look forward to hearing from you!

We LOVE a lady named M. Phannenstiel with Captures in Time Photography. http://www.capturesintime.com

She has a studio in her home in Blue Springs, or she'll come to your home or do a location shoot for a little extra money. Her prices are amazing for the quality of photography you get (and the amount of pictures that come with the packages), and you will love her as a person. Good luck!

A word of advice: Even though professional photography is more expensive than Sears (etc.), it is so worth it. We did the cheap route once because we had to cancel our 10-month session with M., and the pictures are awful. The first year is mind blowing, and I am so happy that we have beautiful pictures to document our first year with our little angel.

DOn't know what is too expensive but, a friend of mine got his newborn photos done at a place called Moments & Memories Photography. They turned out amazing!! I myself, have never been there. I live up north so it's a drive but check it out. They should have a website. I have been to SEARS and they always do a good job. You can usually find coupons for $3.99 sheets. I wouldn't pay more than that. The places like Portrait Innovations do OK but I don't like the quality of the paper they use and it gives your photos a distorted look. You will get tons of coupons once the baby is born. Make sure you look through all the advertisements that are in the free diaper bags you will get at the hospital or from your OB's office. Ask your Ob's office about it.

try Kassy Kids Studio they are at 103rd and State Line The do a excellent job at photograpy. I know it is not in the area you are looking for. I am not sure of the prices you can call and they will tell you an idea on how much it will cost. I have used them and they are great. This is my sister in law I am not saying because of that. She used to do school pictures, has done hundreds of wedding, baby etc. You would be very happy with them.

Rebecca Peters is INCREDIBLE. It does seem expensive for the Baby's First Year plan, but she comes to you, does incredible work, and it's an all-inclusive cost even some prints (which we've always found to be more than enough). And she does maternity shots, too. Her website is www.rpetersphotography.com. If you go to the Daily Features, there are a ton of baby ones on there right now, but on the left side of the page is Archives and you can see maternity sessions and other baby sessions that include newborn shots.
