I want to get some new maternity/family pictures done, and I can't decide on a photographer. I have higher standards now that I've learned a little bit about photography myself and sort of developed my own style. I really like clean, warm, vibrant shots, some portraits, some with more of a lifestyle/real life kind of feel.
This girl did our last ones. She's gotten better since then, but she's also changed her style a bit, and some of her editing has more of a matte style, which isn't my favorite. I'm also kind of annoyed that she did a free shoot for E around 9 months to build her portfolio, but she never sent us the images, despite my asking a few times. I sort of feel like she's a friend though, and I'd feel a little bit bad leaving her, even though we haven't done shots with her in over a year.

This girl has come recommended. I like her style a little bit better, but I assume she's going to be more expensive.

Here's another whose style I like better, but I don't know anybody who uses her, I just saw her recommended on the local Moms FB group. It's a little weird that her minis are the same as the previous? I don't know if they're friends and doing them together or what.

So, how do I decide?
