6 month photo dilemma

Who I worked with for the newborn shots is good, but charges $300 a session for 15 images and I don't think she is lenient on that in any way.  I really don't want to do portrait innovations for these and want something better, but not busting my wallet.  I know photographers have been discussed on here before, so any recommendations or is what my original photographer offering sound fair?

  • I think what Alison charges for what she does is a fair price, but we are only using her once a year because of the price (we are booking her again in Sept and can't wait!).  I love her work, but can't afford to do it multiple times a year.  
  • I highly recommend Jennifer Rose Photography. You can find her on facebook, she did DS's 6 month photos and they are awesome! They are my favorite so far of DS and I have used 3 other photographers, including a very expensive one. Jennifer gave us over 100 edited photos and the rights to everything.

    I love her work too, but wanted to do every 3 mos for the first year, yearly after that which I think she is fair on.

  • Also, since Jen is building her portfolio, she only charges $100 and that includes the session (she will come to your house or you can go to hers, or a park, etc) and the CD of edited photos.

  • My sister and I used Jen to take pictures of Elena and my nephew as a present for my mom for Mother's Day.  She was awesome.  If I could change my siggy, you could see some of the pictures.  
  • Jen rose! If the dumb bump let me change my pic you could see beautiful 1 year pics she did of Georgia. We were incredibly happy with the results!
  • Oh my! you girls are the best =) There are some very talented photogs on this board so you have lots of choices. i think 300.00 is good for a quality photographer and i do like the images Alison Kamper produces. This is my *personal* opinion, if i had the cash, i'd pay that easily but i would want definitely want more images...im not talking 75 or 100 but i would be happy with 25-40 images at that price.

  • I personally wouldn't pay that much. I nay be cheap though. I know we have at least a few talented photographers on this board. Maybe stick with this personal for just yearly shots and use Jen or Amanda for all the ones in the middle :)
