How much did you spend on you first family photos?

Question

Did you get maternity photos?

How much did everything cost and what all did you do?

Answer 1

The very first ones i spent 60 dollars because i had a coupon form ollan  mills. The 3 month pics i got taken at sears and spent about 250 dollars. Now i spend 129.99 every time  i go because they have a special that comes with a cd of the pictures.

Answer 2

i didn't get maternity photo's but i wish i had gotten a couple. i will next time. we didn't pay anything for our first family photo's, we are VERY lucky to have a fantastic professional photographer in our family (my husbands cousin, who we are very close to) so she did ours as a gift for when my son was born. but usually she would charge about $1000 (Australian) for what we got.  

Answer 3

Not much, there was a special going on $50 got me a lot.  Sears did a nice job.

I didn't do maternity photos...I'm not into belly pics at all.

Answer 4

I didn't do maternity, but we did do photos when our son was 27 days old.... we spent way way way too much :) but the photos were adorable. The sitting fee was reasonable, $250, but we paid a couple thousand for our actual photos

Answer 5

nah mate

Answer 6

I did not have any maternity pictures done but we did have family pictures and baby pictures done when my daughter was 3 months.  We got to choose from 36 poses.  We ended up getting packages of about 6 poses (2 family and 4 of just her).  A package included an 8x10, 2 5x7, some 4x6, and a bunch of wallets, plus we got 2 11x13 where one of which had 3 poses on one.  For all this, we paid right about $100.  This was at a place called portrait innovations

Answer 7

i took my daughter when she was 2 weeks old and it was 150.00 i went to sear after that sears keeps sending me coupons for 10 bucks for 36 pics so our 1st family photos were 9.99 :o)

Answer 8

my mom did my maternity pics and she did an amazing job!! my fave is one where we went to the beach and walked out a a Pier at sunset and its Joe and I and you can only see our silhouettes. and she was going to do all of the baby pic, but then I got this call for the canadian baby photographers and although I kept saying no they said...."well you get a free picture and a calender." and every time I said no that's what they said. I even hang up on the lady and she called back and said it must be a bad connection I said no I hung up on you I'm not interested. anything you guys do my mom and I will duplicate "you'll get a free one.....and you'll lear new poses then" so I finally said yes

Ya the darn things were so cute how do you say no? we got the smallest package we could buy and it was 250 bucks 256 actually! man was joe mad! but they said that they burn them to get something that they use in making the out so they can reuse it. the thought of those beautiful pictures of my baby being burnt.... :(

WoW katie G paid as much for her sitting fee as I was complaining about spending on 12 different poses!! I guess I'm cheap.....thrifty
