Newborn pictures lost *UPDATE*

I'm so depressed right now it's embarrassing. Our newborn photographer just called and told me she lost half of our newborn pictures that she took.

The ones she lost were the most important ones to me. They were the ones of me and the baby, dh and the baby and the baby alone. The only ones that she has to give us are the ones of baby and sibs together.

Dh is furious, but I just can't stop crying. We still haven't even gotten one picture from her at it's been over 5 weeks since they were taken.

Sorry I just needed to vent. Thanks
for listening.

UPDATE
I emailed asking if she had any phone pics because I just remembered her taking out her phone and snapping a few. Well she had 3!!!!! I am over the moon happy right now. I posted them below :)

    She said they were deleted and on a separate memory card from the sib pictures :(

    I'm so sorry! DH is a wedding photographer and as soon as he gets home he backs his memory cards up to the computer, an external hard drive, and an internet backup site. He knows he can never recapture those moments so he doesn't take any chances. Looks like your lady needs to think about doing the same.

    I was a wedding photographer too and always did the same as your dh. My worst fear was losing those pictures. I guess that's why it's so hard on me since it could have completely been avoided. 5 weeks after the session is way too late to just be finding out about this.

    That's so awful - I'm so sorry :-(  I would be crying my eyes out for days!
  • @hellosweetie42‌ I am so glad you got your pictures back!! I will ask her but I know she's had numerous sessions since ours so it's not looking good. It won't hurt to ask though. Thank you!

  • I would demand her to take the memory card to a computer repair place they should be able to see if the pics can be recovered! I am so sorry though, that's just horrible :(

    Omg I can not imagine how furious I would be! So sorry your going through this!
  • Khope87Khope87 member
    Omg! I'm almost in tears for you! Totally justified for you to be upset right now and don't let anyone think your stupid if they say otherwise! I honestly don't know what I'd do if our were all lost! I hope the sibling ones are lovely either way. You have them still and they still have you beautiful children captured at that age! I'm preying something can be done about the others for you x
  • Wow I'm surprised that she didn't back those up! I'd be super upset too!!
  • If she only deleted and didnt format the card there might be some hope. As a photog I would hope that she knows that but just in case I would ask her and demand that she provide you with the memory card and a full refund.
  • Thanks everyone :) We got a full refund after dh sent an angry email about only being offered half the money back. We spent a small fortune on her because pictures are extremely important to us. Dh had worked really hard to save and surprise me at Christmas. I literally cried I was so happy since I knew we could never afford her. This is our last baby and I desperately wanted these special moments to always remember. I'm so sad it turned out this way.

  • So sorry this happened.

    Similar thing happened to me, but it was my husbands camera. He moved all the files from the card to his external hard drive. 2 days later the hard drive blew up. It had all the shots he had taken at the hospital on it. We were able to recover about 25% of them through a data recovery company. The others are lost. So heart breaking.
  • @WoodShopGirl‌ I'm so sorry!! It's so hard to lose such precious pictures that can never be redone.
