The Next Best Thing to Annie Liebowitz Popping By the Maternity Ward

Six hundred or so digital photos later and I couldnโ€™t find one that was just right for the announcements. (To say nothing of the pics of me for which I should have demanded professional lighting and Vaseline over the lens.)

The baby: Perfect. My photography skills, not so much.

Oh my God, where was Bella Baby Photography when I needed them? This is such a brilliant concept โ€“ talented freelance photographers spend a little time at the hospital with you getting those first precious hours or days captured the way they should be. The shots are artful, theyโ€™re natural, and theyโ€™re beautiful.

Prices are surprisingly good with packages starting at just $45. But trust me, youโ€™ll want the $300 platinum package including tons of poses, prints, a CD with all the images, and even a couple dozen birth announcements.

Bella Babyโ€™s roster of photographers currently roam Chicago and Ohio, but theyโ€™re rolling out to NY, LA, and Tennessee any moment now. Let me be the first to start the petition to get these guys national. โ€“Liz

Congrats to Susanne T โ€“ winner of a personalized SnapTotes coin purse from Bella Baby!
