I would consider looking into a small local photographer, perhaps even one who's just starting out and building their portfolio. You often get really great prices and their photo quality is still great! They aren't flat out and fully booked so they're able to pay more attention to detail, rather than get you in & get you out as quick as possible. Lots work from their own home, or will go to your home

Photographers will pretty much try any setup/pose you suggest... so take along your p!xi shots for inspiration
