I'm having professional pictures done for Eli's first birthday--and those will be the first professional pictures we've had done of Eli.

I haven't had any professional pictures done of Samuel since he was 18 months old (he's 2 years, 8 months now).  We had Sam's professional pictures taken at 3 months and 12 months.  

Guess I'm just not into the pro pictures.  Maybe I'll regret it someday.  Who knows.

I've spent SO much money on professional pictures.. more money than I'd like to admit.  And now that Baby Bro is on the way.. thats even more money I'm going to be spending.

I'd spend the money--not a ton, but I would spend some.  I'll admit it.  I'm just lazy when it comes to professional pics.  Sam is more concerned with studying the photography equipment than he is about posing with the photographer.  It's just such a hassle.  

So, like I said, I'll probably regret it someday, but then again, when I visit my parents, I don't see my 3, 6, 9, and 12 month pictures all hanging on the walls there.  

It's a sore spot with my MIL, though!

I don't think that is flameful at all! I haven't gotten any pro pics done either, I am waiting until his first birthday.

I like candid's way more.

Waste of money. With Brittyn, i had pro pics taken almost every month. Where are the pics now? Sitting in my storage closet.

I know this would be me. We're getting family portraits in a few weeks. Other than that, I'm not worried about it. I take a ton of amateur pics and I like those more.  (

We bought a nice DSLR camera before DS was born in order to avoid the guilt of never getting professional pics done.  Because I am so the kind of person that would blow it off.

Me too. I think I spent $400 alone on his 6 month prints. I keep telling DH since I have to work we can afford it or that we'll always have his pictures. At some point in time I had to stop.

I hope you don't regret it. It's not really that big of a deal. I've had Colin's done at birth and 6m so far and we're going to do Christmas and his birthday and then move to once a year.

As long as you have lots of regluar pictures, I think you'll be just as happy later down the road.
