I have been playing with the idea of having some maternity pictures taken and have been somewhat shocked by the price tag! I understand that professional photography can be pricey (often, you get what you pay for) but I am somewhat stunned with the quotes I have received.

If you don't mind my asking, what do you think is "reasonable" for a casual maternity photo session? Also, please let me know if you have any suggestions for a less expensive alternative! I would really like to have this memory as something to look back on, but I cannot even fathom paying upwards of $2k for this!
