So I have a friend who is a photographer, and I know she is going to expect to be the one who does our newborn pics and she has even said something about a maternity shoot for me. I'm really appreciative of her enthusiasm, but to be quite honest I don't really want to use her for that stuff. I know it sounds odd but I'd actually rather pay someone else to do it. It's not that she's a bad photographer, it's more of a personality thing with her. We've been friends for a long time and she is always eager to volunteer to do things during special moments of my life, but then she usually finds a way to turn it into a moment for herself. My husband doesn't like how she assumes she'll be involved in every personal/special occasion we have simply because she's a photographer (and a baker). Also, I just know if anyone ever commented on my baby's picture in front of her it would lead to an hour of her saying how proud of herself she is or even complaining about how long it took to get the shot, etc. I understand she should be happy and proud of her work, but you have to understand this chick's attitude when it comes to stuff like this. Idk. I really don't want to hurt her feelings but l just kinda don't want to share this with her...

I've tried to ask my husband for advice on this, but he has a very "screw how it makes her feel, this is our baby" mentality. I actually kind of want to be that way a lot, but I am too much of my mother's daughter and I can't help but to worry over things like this, so my question is....

How can I delicately handle this?
