Newborn photography - is this a good deal?

A photographer that is very popular among friends is offer a free maternity session with the scheduling of a newborn session before January 1. Obviously this is SUPER early to think about this, but I was wondering if this was a good deal? (She books up really really quickly so I'd rather take advantage of a good deal and first dibs around my due date!)
It's $400 and includes:
- all images and reproduction rights
- maternity shoot (1-2 hours in studio or outdoors, very flexible)
- newborn session (2-4 hours in studio and outside, props/blankets/those knitted hat things all included)
- 25 custom birth announcements
- online viewing gallery
I know it's kind of dependent on where you live, but I'd say that this area (DC suburbs) tends to run fairly expensive.

I think that's a pretty good deal.
