Our Professional Photo Shoot

After deliberating for almost 4 years, we finally decided to fork out the money to get a professional photo shoot of the family done. And what can I say? We should have done this ages ago!!! We have been putting it off because we didn't want to spend the money on it, but at the same time, we knew that to have many good pictures of the kids taken, we'll need to pay a bit more for that.

We shopped around a bit before deciding on the photographer who took our wedding pictures 5 years ago. We are familiar with the photographer and knew that he would put in the time and effort to get good pictures of our kids. We also like his style of photography. The photo shoot itself cost only $150 (supposedly for an hour, but it went on for almost 2 hours), but the CD compilation of all the photos taken (107 photos in all) cost us a whooping $400. This is in comparison to some other photo studios who charge much less but also take fewer pictures during the photo shoot.

We are very happy with the photos taken and wish we had done this earlier to capture more memories of DS when he was younger, or of me when I was pregnant. :) For anyone contemplating whether to spend the money taking some family pictures, I would say, "Go for it!". The kids grow up too fast to be deliberating about this for too long! :P

Here are more of the photos taken.
