Maternity photos

Went to a photographer last night that had a reasonable sitting fee $100/hour. Once I got there I realized ordering the pictures was just not going to be an option $400 for 1 canvas?! $2,000 for 30 photos in an album?! So after a meltdown and some breathing time I had my mom come over and snap some at home pictures and I’m so happy! I would say if someone you know has a nice camera try this route first before spending a ton of money. Would rather splurge on the newborn pictures than the maternity myself.
