Thankfully my photographer was amazing. My little guy was never a sleepy baby so it was quite difficult. But I love the shots we got! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session/page/2#post-1632983 Wed, 14 May 2014 07:51:24 +0000 Greentea 1632983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I am happy with my own photos. My baby wasn't a sleeping squishy thing either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session/page/2#post-1632935 Wed, 14 May 2014 07:16:58 +0000 Mamaof2 1632935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them with both kids - loved them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session/page/2#post-1632714 Tue, 13 May 2014 22:39:36 +0000 ohemgee 1632714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we did newborn photos. The photographer we wanted was out of town because of the holidays. oh well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630795 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:14:59 +0000 MrsH 1630795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: The sweetest! What a little peanut.</p> <p>We did them and I &lt;3 them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630740 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:56:18 +0000 twodoghouse 1630740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't plan on doing them because we wanted to save money for a family shoot later, but now I wish we had. They are only 10 days old so I guess it's not too late, but they've already changed so much! We have millions of pics of them from the last 10ndays, but it's be nice to have pro pics too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630691 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:38:04 +0000 snowjewelz 1630691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def plan on doing them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630658 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:23:22 +0000 Alivoo01 1630658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did them and LOVED it! He was so tiny, and now that we look at him, we're amazed he was ever that small!!! He was 4lbs 13oz at birth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630626 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:08:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 1630626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't, but we invested in our first DSLR right before Wagon Jr. was born. So his newborn pictures are also kind of a peek into Wagon Sr.'s photography skill building, which I love. We like more candid photos than posed so even though there's the noise of mess and house in the background, we love it.</p> <p>We did get the newborn photography in the hospital done with LMW though! It was nice to have a shot to use on the front of her baby book, but that's all we used it for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630622 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:07:07 +0000 catlady 1630622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did them and I'm glad we did so I can remember those days. That being said, I wish I had found a different photographer because it was very expensive and I didn't LOVE the photos as much as I thought I would. I wanted a few of the three of us and we only got one photo like that and it isn't flattering for any of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630619 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:05:12 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1630619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do them and I really wish we had. DH had just been laid off so I couldn't justify the cost. Our pictures from those first weeks are cute but I really wanted pro quality. We'll do them for sure next time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630612 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:00:41 +0000 lawbee11 1630612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did them and I am so grateful for them. I often look back at them and am in awe that she was ever that little. We also had pictures taken of the 3 of us and some of DH holding her while playing the piano and me kissing her little nose...I am so glad to have those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630598 Tue, 13 May 2014 07:50:36 +0000 Silva 1630598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We took some good photos on our own, and I don't know what I'd do with a ton of posed newborn pics. They aren't really my style. And we don't hang many photos- just a few framed ones here and there. I have photo albums, but I'm happy with the pics we have.</p> <p>I do, however, wish I could go back in time and spend a day or two with her as a newborn. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630594 Tue, 13 May 2014 07:47:50 +0000 Trailmix 1630594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a very basic one while still in the hospital and used one of the photos for a birth announcement. I don't know how I feel...part of me wishes we'd done a better one with cuter outfits and props and maybe with DH and I in some shots and then another part of me just doesn't really care, haha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630527 Tue, 13 May 2014 06:59:38 +0000 Smurfette 1630527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did them and 100% will do them again. Totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630517 Tue, 13 May 2014 06:44:51 +0000 Ajsmommy 1630517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had the hospital ones taken and we refused to buy them b/c they were ridiculously expensive. However, about 2 mos after I kept getting emails with deals to buy them and I realized I did want them so I bought two 8x10's that had 3-4 pics on each and I ended up getting ALL the newborn pics that were taken for a real good deal! I'm glad I ended up buying them, even if it was after the fact!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630494 Tue, 13 May 2014 06:05:23 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1630494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did them. Love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630488 Tue, 13 May 2014 05:58:55 +0000 Charm54 1630488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. People gasp when I say it but I don't really get professional photography. I had them done for my wedding and have like 2 of my favourite pictures up and the rest were made in to a photo book.</p> <p> I have a gazillon photos of DD on my camera and iPhone that I'll turn into a photobook and while my photog skills leave a lot to be desired, they're fine for our purposes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630486 Tue, 13 May 2014 05:56:41 +0000 matador84 1630486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I regretted not with DS so I did some with dd and DS was in them and they are to die for cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630484 Tue, 13 May 2014 05:53:38 +0000 bushelandapeck 1630484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did them at the hospital and also at 9 days old with a professional photographer. I am so glad we did and am already planning pictures for #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630467 Tue, 13 May 2014 05:25:38 +0000 Pumuckl 1630467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They offered them in the hospital and we weren't even obligated to buy them if we didn't like them. We totally did though and we are soooo glad we have them. It is so amazing to see how much he changed in his first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630449 Tue, 13 May 2014 04:52:55 +0000 Cherrybee 1630449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do one and, actually, I'm not sad about that at all. I think I want some 1st birthday pics, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630444 Tue, 13 May 2014 04:24:24 +0000 artsyfartsy 1630444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad we did them! By the time we got the pictures back he already had changed so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630420 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:53:56 +0000 sunny 1630420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad we did them. They are pretty much the only photos of us as a family since one of is always holding the camera... Usually me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630413 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:24:19 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1630413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a family shoot, my son is 8 weeks. I don't regret not doing a newborn shoot, I am glad he is older and chubbier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630405 Tue, 13 May 2014 01:06:51 +0000 Kimberlybee 1630405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did and I love them. I wish we had researched better on the photographer but the pictures still turned out a lot better than what we expected. My regret is that I didn't have enough pictures of me and DD together. There were only a few of us together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630398 Tue, 13 May 2014 00:41:37 +0000 nana87 1630398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did and I'm sooo glad! We hadn't planned to: there was a photographer in the hospital who stopped by and did them: brilliant business model!! We didn't have to pay until we saw the images </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630397 Tue, 13 May 2014 00:40:21 +0000 ClairHuxtable 1630397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStar: I also regret not doing them. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wish-you-had-done-a-newborn-photo-session#post-1630383 Tue, 13 May 2014 00:02:14 +0000 shopaholic 1630383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and totally glad we did!
