@hibou so have you decided to go ahead with it? i agree that $1500 would put me off, but if it was someone i particularly admired...

i have been thinking of this very topic recently. always the family photographer, i have very few shots with me in them. the last time we hired a photographer was 4 years ago when my youngest was born. i have shots too which i love from a session when pregnant with my 1st and when baby was 6 weeks old.

i have been thinking of hiring someone to do a family shoot this summer but the photographers that i admire are not necessarily local...and i don't know if i would do a shoot with someone whose work i didn't think was above average...i can do average via tripod all by myself ;-)
