Our 3rd bub is due in April and we would like to get some newborn photos as well as photos of the girls and of us as a family. We did the same with both DD but I cant believe how much prices have gone up!
Have you had a family photography session about 2-3hours+ in your own home? How much did you pay and what was included? I am looking at around $1100 including 45 edited high res images on CD and a Slideshow with music. I think we will then print any pictures ourselves.
I also found out that our wedding photographer has more than doubled his prices in 18 months and is still fully booked. I realise more time is taken with editing and photoshopping images, plus travel and equipment costs but it is almost getting out of our ability to afford it. Im glad I am looking now so we can save a bit towards it.
Have you tried googling photography family/babies in your area, that way you might be able to see what sort of pictures you like online and make a shortlist.
I don't think that's too expensive. 45 images is a lot, and more than most would offer. You get what you pay for though, I would rather pay more and get pics I really really love. So if you love this photographer I would save up for them!
That sounds about right to me for a professional photographer too. We paid similar to that (more I think) for the pics of my pregnancy with DD and her newborn shots on cd.
I shopped around a bit initially but I found that decent photographers charge similar amounts for preggy and newborn shots. It's a bit like wedding pics!
