Good but Affordable Pregnancy and Family Photography

I'd like to do some pregnancy portraits, but I want something nice, that can be blown up and hung on the wall. The trick is I also want something affordable. I found a photographer online who's photos I really like, but I'm finding it hard to justify the cost (at least $1500 for what I think I would want). After the baby is born, I'd also like to do some family portraits. Any recommendations (esp. for San Gabriel Valley)? Thanks

What can I do next?

I had lovely photos taken while pregnant and was so pleased I am having family photos taken by the same gal. Her name is Heather and her photography business goes by the name of A La Mode Photo. Her number is ###-###-####. The sitting and package I chose was approximately half the price you quote above and she gives discounts on subsequent sittings. She is so much fun and her photos were a real shot in the arm when pregnancy wasn't feeling so attractive. Good luck!

I've seen some really good ads for pregnancy photos with JCPenny. Check out their website for the maternity photos

Plus they are extremely affordable. Whatever you do don't go to The Picture People, they are awful. They have high school students running their stores and taking the pictures. I took my 2 month there last weekend and his head was cutoff in almost every picture. I ended up walking out not buying any of the pictures. Such a waste of time. I'm sure you know how hard it is taking an infant for pictures, to then not get any good ones. Needless to say I was extremely upset. I am going to try JCPenny tomorrow. Good luck.
