How much did you pay for maternity photos?

Question

I'm in CA, and was just quoted $500 for a one-hour beach location shoot. It seems a little steep to me, but I've never had any photos other than my engagement and wedding photos, to know the going-price for maternity photos. How much did you pay, and where are you from?

Answer

Here's a few examples for DIY maternity photos! Just have a close family/friend take them for you, and save all your money for the prints and all the photo frames you are going to need!😀 These were taken by my mom...

Answer

Honestly I would ask someone with a good camera to do it. You will feel more comfortable telling them what you do and don't like. I personally think that is alot of money for a maternity shoot.

Answer

I live in Temecula and found the prices and for what u get to be ridiculous. Then I found an amazing photographer and I paid/paying $150 for my maternity and newborn shoots combined and I get every picture taken on cd and all rights to them. Most at $500 u get like 15 on cd and a few prints and have to pay for extras. I feel so lucky to have found this wonderful photographer. We just did our maternity a couple weeks ago and couldn't be more excited to do our newborn next.

My mother in law does some family shoots and maternity around San Diego (mostly for family and friends but she's branching out more) and that seems pretty steep. Another of her friends regularly does maternity and charges 150-200 depending on how long you want, changes, and digital rights.

Answer

I'm in the Bay Area and I paid $150 for maternity for DS 4 years ago. Most of my girlfriends pay between $150 and $300 and their gorgeous shots. $500 is way steep imo.
