Price of newborn photos!!! 😱

Kelli
So I started looking around at photographers and studios in my area to get an idea of how much newborn photos are going to run us. I knew they weren't cheap, but holy cow!!! 😱 Newborn sessions are running $600-$1200 and most of those only include a CD of the images for you to print yourself. I feel guilty that I'm now looking into generic places like Sears and JcPenney Portraits because they won't send us into debt for a few precious photos. Is everyone else factoring in big bucks for your newborn photos, or did you find a good deal?!
