Our birth package will be $800, $450 for the session including a travel charge and then $350 for an album of the images. I feel like her prices are very reasonable. Being a photographer myself I know how much work goes into a birth session and begin "on-call" at any time for a two week span can be crazy stressful if it isn't their only job.
Definitely hiring a photographer. We loved our newborn photos for DS, and want to capture that moment again when DD arrives. I really think it's worth the money just knowing how fast these little peanuts grow. I bought a fancy camera thinking I'd be taking all sorts of photos. Well I have thousands of photos of my little nugget but they're all on my phone. You're capturing memories; it's so with it!
