Birth photos

Tram
Hi all,
I'm thinking of hiring a birth photographer to document our son's birth. The cost is $400, which I thought I could use that towards his needs instead of a photoshoot. 
However, I'm thinking this photoshoot will not be about me as an individual but about all of us together meeting our son for the first time. I don't want to regret not having in it done 30 years from now as I might not remember the details then. 
What are your opinions on birth photos? Did you have yours done? Is it really worth it? Thanks all!
