I assume you wanted the women we are using this fall for $125....but if you want the more pricey photographers name I will happily share that as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593881 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 15:44:45 +0000 MrsKerch 2593881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: Would you mind sharing who you are working with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593874 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 15:36:21 +0000 Ginabean3 2593874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: oh wow yeah that's really pricey!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593866 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 15:33:09 +0000 agold 2593866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Thank you. Great to know. I have one local girl that I like to use for photography. She's fairly new but a great price. However, anyone more professional that I've looked into seems to charge something like a $250-$400 session fee, plus extra for copies of pictures and upwards of $600 if you want the digital file. Ugh. That's so much money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593834 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 14:43:22 +0000 Ginabean3 2593834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: of course! I used Jen Perez Photography. It's $99 for a mini session with 3 edited images and then you can pay an additional $100 for all the images (edited) and she told me that ranges from 30-50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593729 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:13:30 +0000 mauxie 2593729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do mini shoots and they are $150 for half an hour. She gives us access to about 40 edited photos (watermarked) and we get to choose 12 for download, additional ones are $10 each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593714 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:05:53 +0000 Truth Bombs 2593714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$275 for the shoot and all digital files. Like, every single pic she took, edited and uploaded to me. We order prints ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593668 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:34:39 +0000 agold 2593668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Can you tell me who you used? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593583 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 11:16:28 +0000 sandy 2593583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$250 covers the session free and all digital images - about 15-20 images </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593579 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 11:14:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2593579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: are they edited? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593578 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 11:13:20 +0000 ValentineMommy 2593578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$150 - all rights and digitals. No prints. There was no limitations on the sessions, but they were almost 2 hours, three different outfits, at our home (all over the home and outside). There are definitely more expensive options, but we love our photog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593515 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 10:15:32 +0000 alphagam84 2593515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughters 1 year photo shoot (just her in the studio) will be $125 (with rights to the pictures) and that's because I had booked it when I did the newborn pics. We're doing a mini shoot with the same woman for Christmas and it's $150 for a 30 minute shoot outside with a Christmas set up and I think we get at least 10 images. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593495 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 09:48:59 +0000 pachamama 2593495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My photographer is wonderful, he did our wedding (and my sister's) but he's also the most in demand in our area. He quoted me $425 - 1 hour, all rights, USB of all images. Seems like a lot of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593454 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 09:08:00 +0000 mrsjyw 2593454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just did a 1 hour session w two kids for $275 w photo rights. She sent us 100 files! </p> <p>I spent $450 for our newborn / fam shoot last year. And got 10 files.</p> <p>I've spent in previous years $2-300 for a similar type shoot w photo rights included. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593452 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 09:07:12 +0000 youboots 2593452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$400-500 is pretty standard around here. I'm hiring a film photographer for $800 for our anniversary session- but she's one of the top photographers in our region. </p> <p>Some that sell prints only can run 1-2k for newborn photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593451 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 09:04:18 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2593451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$200 at our home for approximately 1 hour, around 120 digital photos that we printed ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593430 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:48:48 +0000 josina 2593430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love our photographer... she's $100 for an hour with print release on all pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593406 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:37:56 +0000 looch 2593406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have found a great option for about $75. It's done as a fundraiser for the nature center where my son attends camp and preschool. It's a half hour and we get one digital file and 8x12 print out of it, with the option to purchase other files. It's perfect because I really only need one good shot per year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593368 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:09:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 2593368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one scheduled in the fall - family and individual pictures of girls. $150 with rights to edited pictures. I will say that is a "friend" discount, I think her normal price is $175 which is still reasonable. </p> <p>I plan on doing family and then changing clothes for them for individual/sibling pictures. </p> <p>No prints included. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593366 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:05:42 +0000 ms.line 2593366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$300 for a very-good-but-not-amazing photographer. (1 hr, 15 edited shots, no prints) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593359 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 07:54:52 +0000 bushelandapeck 2593359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used the same woman 3x now who is in the early stages of her photography business and we have been very happy. Most recently we paid $200 for a one hour session and the rights to all the edited photos. We have paid more for newborn photos with our wedding photographer and they were slightly better but not worth the extra money, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593344 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 07:17:55 +0000 Mamaof2 2593344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NB I paid $500 for session fee and some printed pics - no digital images</p> <p>We just did a family shoot in the fall - 15 mins, $175 and you got 10 digital images - this was perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593189 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:01:13 +0000 catlady 2593189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used several photographers with a wide range of prices. For a decent length session with all digital files included, we've paid anywhere from $250 to $1k. We're in the Boston area. The $250 one was probably half the length and included 1/3 the photos as the $1k one, and the photos were not as good (but I still liked them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593173 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:35:31 +0000 dolphin 2593173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$500 for shoot and all images </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593172 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:27:13 +0000 jhd 2593172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is such a huge range even where we live which is a low col area. We used a local mama who works FT and does photography on the side. We also did mini sessions because our two year old can't handle a long session. That saved us a lot of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593170 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:21:52 +0000 yoursilverlining 2593170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 photographers we use and have only done mini sessions because that meets our needs so that's what the pricing below is for.</p> <p>Better photog: $250<br /> Good photog: $100-125</p> <p> 15-minute sessions, no prints, between 5-10 edited shots </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593169 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:21:47 +0000 Ginabean3 2593169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did one.....outdoor location, 30 min mini session....30-50 edited digital files.</p> <p>Forgot to add..$200...this is in southern CA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593166 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:14:49 +0000 Mrsbells 2593166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: The price will really vary depending on the type of shoot and whether its in a studio or at some other location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-for-a-family-photoshoot#post-2593161 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:05:53 +0000 sunny 2593161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found someone who does it for $250 and its on the low end.
