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.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-professional-pictures-taken-of-your-lo#post-41571 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 10:05:55 +0000 junebugmama 41571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-professional-pictures-taken-of-your-lo#post-41570 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 10:03:47 +0000 Andrea 41570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I was guessing that is why your Xmas card was so cool!</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-professional-pictures-taken-of-your-lo#post-41564 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 09:48:12 +0000 chopsuey 41564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-professional-pictures-taken-of-your-lo#post-41561 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 09:40:52 +0000 heffalump 41561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>Do you get pics taken? And if so, where? </p>
