Newborn photos

Carlynnb · May 2012

Are any of you ladies scheduling a newborn photo session? We would like to, but it seems so expensive, especially if you want a digital rights to the photos so you can email/post to friends, etc. Annoying. Thoughts? If so, how much are you spending (if you dont mind me asking)

Thanks!

We are going to go the cheap route and either find someone who needs to build their portfolio or I'll do it myself. I'm no professional, but I have some ideas and plan on checking out some how-to sites and books

we shopped around to try to find the best pics with the best price. its INSANE in our area.

ours is a $250 sitting fee, she comes to your house.

i think our photo package is about $1000. it includes 3 small brag books with pics, some big pics and some smaller pics.

announcements are like $2.50 each.

no digital copies. that cost like $250 per image or something crazy!

its actually insane when i write all that out- eeeek!

We are doing a maternity shoot and a newborn shoot with the same photographer. I love her work. It is $180 for each session and that includes all touchups, cd and all rights to the photos. She will do prints for you, but I am going to send them off myself. I think it is a great price.

Our hospital offers them pretty cheap through a photography service. So you can just bring in a couple items you want for the pictures when you go to deliver and they'll do it before you leave. It's very handy!

We're lucky that our wedding photographer (great work, does photojournalistic style) also does newborn photography and is giving us $50 off. We're paying $200 for the newborn photo shoot and a CD with digital rights. No prints. I plan on doing Shutterfly for books, framed pictures, etc.

Maternity, new born, and Christmas pics for $100 each including a CD with rights. We are going to a couple locations.

I agree with everyone else, see If u can find a student or a friend do it. If ur are in the Chicagoland area, I am using autumn breeze photography and she haves u just the cd with all the prints for a extremely affordable price. However, u have to make ur own prints. U can look up her work on Facebook. Hope everything turns out well

Sign up for Groupon and LIving Social, I get photography offers about twice a month.

All of the hospitals in our area have a contract with a photography place and they schedule a free photo shoot for all new moms and families. With DD it was $125 for the CD and rights. Nothing was edited, so that sucked (newborns do NOT have pretty skin!) but I was happy with most of the pics. I knew about it ahead of time so made sure DH and I were presentable and we had a few outfits for DD.

Maybe call your hospital and see if they have something like this? I would guess this is starting to become the norm.
