We got newborn pictures as a gift from my sister. I would like to continue to have pro pictures throughout my lo's life...but I can't afford a good, artsy photographer which is what I'd like. I'm sure we could do something like jc penny portraits, but I know I won't love them as much so I don't know if I should spend the money.
Do you get pics taken? And if so, where?

DH used to do professional photography as a hobby. He has a camera and lighting (umbrellas) so he does all of our pictures. He taught me how to take pics so I take some too!

@chopsuey119: I was guessing that is why your Xmas card was so cool!
Artbee - I don't want to spend the money on artsy photogs either even though that is what I really want. But as a step up from JC Penny, I bought a $100 package from Doodledeals that included a 1 hour shoot plus 2 5x7s and an online gallery. We got some great photos at a more affordable price. Plus they were taken in NY's Central Park. I would sign up for a site like that and look for photo deals.

We have some artsy pictures taken usually once per year, but for some other occasions, we will use the local photo place. We use a place that's a little better than a JCP, so you do get a little bit more out of it, but it's usually worth the money in the end.

For my daughter's pictures over the last 8 months (newborn three months and Christmas) we used a new photographer with very reasonable prices. Now that she's raising her prices we're on the hunt for someone else.. I. Like the idea of supporting a new photographer plus it's definitely budget friendly..
