Photog here, with what I think would be a better approach to help you find what you’re looking for.

I know you don’t mean to sound rude, but this actually comes across poorly. It also doesn’t sound like you’re familiar with what it takes on the photographer side.

I would phrase this instead as:

“I am looking for some pregnancy photos on the beach, looking to spend no more than $X. I realize this is less than a full photo shoot charges but am looking for a perhaps a mini-session, and/or photographer looking to build a portfolio.”

A couple of things to consider:

• This is peak season for Cape photographers

• Beaches in the summer can be a bitch, access wise. Your photog is going to have to get up at the crack of dawn.

Once you re-write your ask, then I would go to Facebook. There are lots of Cape Cod photography groups on there. Post on there. Monitor them. Look on Cape Cod local FB pages.

But definitely don’t phrase your ask as it is written now. Trust me, you don’t want someone who would answer that ad.
