I have a photoshoot dilemma and need your advice. I want to get some maternity pics done this pregnancy (didn't with my first) but I am having a mini conflict with photogs.

My good friend is a photographer, but not a great one. For the standard person shes great, but seeing I'm a designer and tend to be a little more detail oriented her photos are blah. Yet, she does any shoot I want for free. She did my day after shoot and Mavrick's 3 week pics and they were fine (with my direction and ideas)

When it was Mavrick's 1st birthday, I wanted blog worthy pictures, so I asked another photog friend (she is amazing!) well I heard through the vines that my friend was a little hurt I didn't ask her. I told her that she owed me a favor (seeing I had done stuff for this photog) but still... she would of liked that I would of asked her. (but her photos wouldnt of been as nice)

Now that I want maternity photos, my friend usually does in door shots and I want outdoor. So my other photog friend said she would LOVE to do my maternity shoot but I dont know what to do.

I personally want to go with photog #2 (same who did Mavis birthday pics) but I also dont want to hurt my friends feelings. I was planning on taking 3 week pics with baby girl and was going to ask my friend... so that way I was being fair.

How would you go about it? I can tell her that she offered to do my maternity shoot and seeing she doesnt take outdoor pics I much rather use her for the newborn shoot.

Ah... I hate friendship politics. I dont want to tell her she isnt good. Just not the right fit for me.
