Looking for a super cheap maternity (or just in general) portrait studio/photographer in portland area. I litterally have no money for pictures and i have no pictures of me during this pregnancy (my first). I am unemployed and all my money is going into school and the baby so need super cheap lol. My DH and I were looking at portrait innovations with their ten bucks for 40 pictures but its just one pose...theres no variety...and then theres 'picture me' at walmart for eight bucks but my husbands all 'we are not getting pictures done at walmart!' so can anyone help??? please?! I'm having my c section on the 15th :( really want them done before then...
Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    Portrait innovations is about as cheap as your going to get for some decent pictures.  Yeah it is only one shot but you can pay $15 for another sheet of another pose so $25 total.  What is more important to you, price or variety?

    Apart from JCP, Walmart, or Portrait Innovations you won't find anything. People that take professional photos have to make a living too and they have a lot more expenses in training, equipment, insurance, self-employment taxes, licensing, than these boxcutter studios. It is what it is. You might be able to find someone on CL who is just starting out and need a model for their portfolio.

    Don't you own a camera?  If I was that broke, I would have a friend come over and take some photos in my backyard.  Why does it have to be in a studio??

    Check on Craigslist. I used to post on there for models all the time ( I am a photographer, but am on bed rest, or I would offer to do your pics for you)

    Amateur going to professional photographers need opportunities like this to add to their portfolio, so give it a shot! State what you are looking for, and how much you are willing to pay. Barter if you ahve anything for trade!

    Good luck!
