I wanted a birth photographer so badly, but I just didn't think we could swing the huge costs.

So today I emailed every local birth photographer, told them we were on a limited budget but birth photography was really important to us, and asked if any of them could work with us on price.

Within an hour, two of them wrote back. One offered to work out a payment plan and drop her fee down, and another dropped her fee from $900 to $300!

Bless them. All it took was asking!
