I'd send them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410781 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 02:50:20 +0000 birdofafeather 2410781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask for a hard deadline and if not delivered, ask for a credit for something else since you have her free reign! That would be my dream client!! I totally think it's great to still send them as well if she does deliver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410574 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:31:24 +0000 babycanuck 2410574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I basically told her when she sent me proofs that she could design it any way she wanted to, she's the creative one so let her choose. I loved all of the photos.</p> <p>I guess you're all right - it's a nice keepsake. Maybe I'll send it to friends/family far away that don't get to see him/haven't met him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410567 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:28:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2410567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they are paid for anyway, I would still send them. I've gotten birth announcements very late and still like to see cute pictures of new babies. I would just send them to your closest family and friends. </p> <p>If you could convince her to give you credit instead I could see that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410566 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:27:23 +0000 sunny 2410566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps you can email your photographer and just ask again for a print/product credit since it has been so long since the birth and you feel that birth announcements at this time are pointless? I can't imagine why the photographer would be so inflexible on that point since most photographers need to order press products from a lab and I don't see why its different from ordering a different product. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410564 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:26:50 +0000 youboots 2410564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's not too late, and it's a lovely keepsake. I would just let her know you want to send them ASAP and ask for a hard deadline. Is there anything about in in your contract. Normally I would recommend asking for a credit but since you already did and she said no...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410563 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:26:14 +0000 HabesBabe 2410563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still send them, especially since they're already paid for. Better late than never, I guess.</p> <p>Or, since you're waiting on her for the design, then maybe you can use that as leverage for getting a credit? Or were you supposed to send her a list of which pictures you wanted to use once she sent you the images? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-pro-photog-birth-announcement#post-2410548 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:14:43 +0000 babycanuck 2410548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So LO is almost 3 months old. Our newborn photog did our shots at 10 days old, and got our high res pics to us within weeks. We still don't have the design or prints yet from her and I don't really see the point of announcements at this point in the game? Am I wrong? It's only 25 prints, and I also don't have the heart to say anything to her until she writes back to me with a proof or asking what pics I want to use. I also don't know how to word it nicely that I don't need them anymore.</p> <p>Note - I did ask before I booked her if I could take the dollar figure for the announcements and credit it towards a different product she may have and she said no..</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
