I contacted the photographer that I asked for a recommendation about.  However, she is going on maternity leave near the end of July.  The last possible time for me would be around 29 weeks.  

My gut says to email her back and decline and look for one that will work with me in August when I will be in the 32-34 week range.

Is 29 weeks way to early?  I'm thinking it might be.

If I don't go with her, how should I go about vetting another photographer that i'm just doing a search for?  Yelp?  Other review sites?  Help.

I think 29 weeks will be too early, and you also wouldn't want to book a session with her and have her deliver even earlier.

Do you have any friends or family that could offer some recommendations?

Unfortunately not in this area.  Some of our friends have had pictures done, but nothing I'm not a fan of most of the results.

Most of our family lives out of state, so it's pretty hard.

Depends what you are looking for I guess. I was looking pretty darn pregnant at 29 weeks last time, but was still comfortable to move around. It could be good timing.

Internet mom groups sarenu?

I did mine with DD at 29 weeks they are fine I was small but I never got big with her.

sarenu, I'd start with a Google search, honestly. And see if you like the results. Eliminate people who don't match your style and contact the ones who do for dates and quotes.

I've had a lot of luck finding photographers on Craigslist, of all places.

salmon2017, +1 to being plenty big at 29 weeks. It was before I got to my "holy shit this lady is huge phase" of 34 weeks and up.

I also think 32-34 weeks may be too late because you will feel huge and uncomfortable.
