Are you doing it? Where? Emailed a bunch of places everything was $400 and up and includes nothing. What about photo places in the mall?

Definitely, but it's also easier for us since my SIL is a very talented photographer. We'll be using her.
J. Ann Photography

I also recommend Marie Christine Photography and Angela Follo Photography. I'm not quite sure about pricing for Angela, but I know Marie Christine does a very reasonable maternity/newborn package.

ETA: I'm not generally a fan of the places in the mall like JC Penney or Target, at least not for newborns. They take so much time and care and you can just always tell the difference in quality.

I did it and I don't know if I'd do it again. The pics are cute but it was a lot of money and we took a million pics ourselves.

I would never take a newborn to a mall.

I didn't do one for DS but used Amy Halpin Photography for my DD. She came to me which made things so much easier.

Re: Newborn photography

I'm still super early so I have plenty of time to decide, but I'm very torn. I didn't do newborn pics for DS and I sort of regret it. But we also don't have the money to spend a lot on them this time around. If I could do it for really cheap, then yes, I would. But I wouldn't do the mall places.

Re: Newborn photography

we did not for dd1 but did for dd2. We had Marie Christine do them, and she came to us. I love her work, so natural. We decided to get them for dd2 so that we could have sibling photos.

I paid $350 for amy maxwell - I loved her newborn shops but she didn't take many of us as I family. I was pretty upset about that so I called my birth photographer who came to the rescue and did a family shoot for us the next day. I'll be using my birth photographer for EVERYTHING going forward - she's elizabeth kristen photography

I spent $200 and $250 for professional pictures at my house. All props included, 30 edited images and all raw files. FM me if you want details. They came out great. I'd personally never spend more than that. Some of these photographers think theyre Anne Geddes.

For the most part, you get what you pay for. Anyone less, or target/jcp, the quality isn't going to be great.

We used picture perfect fun and she was awesome and not too expensive. I got a usb of something like 15-20 edited images and they are gorgeous.

We used I Hope You Dance and it was the best decision. They are much less than $400 and you get 25 edited images on a disc.
