R got newborn pics. Then we did a baby package with another photographer: 4, 8, 12, and 18 month. I think after that maybe once a year, or every other year.

We haven't since our wedding either, I thought it would be something I would have prioritized more, but I haven't...oh, wait, when we went to Disney we got the promo package where you can get your photos taken in the parks with the photographers, I guess that counts.

2 times a year right now, when the kids get older we will just do once a year for Christmas.

@littlek: Our family photog does mini sessions in November (for holiday pics), so we usually do one of those because they're much cheaper.

We did newborn pictures (and some pictures with her with us) and haven't done any other professional ones since. But we set up our own little "photoshoots" to get some good family shots a few times a year. We just use DH's camera, tripod, and remote and take them of ourselves.

@lawbee11: that's a good idea! I've done mini sessions for B. But never our whole family.

@littlek: It was perfect for us because M starts getting antsy and is over it after 20-30 minutes anyways.

Once a year. We get them done in October or November for Christmas cards.

We did maternity & 6 month pics...before that DH & I had never had professional pictures & the last one with my family was Mother's Day 2013. Before that it was probably about 10 years or so since we had professional family photos.

We haven't since our wedding. I really wish I had professional newborn pictures of DS and one year photos of him as well. I think we will schedule a professional this fall of all four of us so that I have something to send out at Christmas!

We haven't since our wedding.... other than the newborn pics that they offered in the hospital. We did do those, which were free for the session, and then my grandma got us the DVD of the photos as a gift. I don't know how many hospitals do that, but it was a great idea. DH has a fancy DSLR camera, so his photos look semi-pro, but we would like to do a real pro session at some point with our daughter.

We've done first birthday prof pics, which has turned out to be once every two years. With my third, we did newborn pics, six month, and will do one year. After this though, I suspect once a year.

Not since our maternity pics, so about two years ago. We're doing a family shoot in the near future for our fifth anniversary.

Our target has a photo studio so far we've done 3 portrait sessions there, i always find coupons and only buy 2-3 8"x10" for like $5-10 each or packages for $7.99 depending on the coupon.
We hired someone for newborn and will probably hire someone for 1st birthday.

I am a photographer and do photos of LO a lot. At least monthly so far. But of us as a group? Haven't done it yet. I'm planning a session with our wedding photog for the fall I think. Then maybe we'll plan to do family sessions once/year or so.
