New Photographer!

So last week I got the unpleasant surprise of the photographer we can booked for Ethan's newborn photos cancelling on us. She returned my deposit and let her customers know that she was no longer offering any type of photography besides birth photography. This kinda pissed me off since I got a good deal through her the first time, and I had a feeling that I wouldn't do as well looking for a new one. I then went on a hunt to find a new photographer. I went through some old emails back in June (when I was looking the first time) and most photographers were charging anywhere from $150-$250. I then decided to email this one photographer, Julie, who added me on Facebook to her group a few weeks ago. I told her my dilemma and let her know that we are on a tight budget and she agreed to do his newborn photos for the same price that Kayla was going to charge us. I was so thrilled and relieved that I didn't have to spend any extra money. She then asked if we were interested in doing birth photos. I asked Kayla if she was still planning on doing ours for free (like she originally offered in order to get practice and build her portfolio) and she said that she can no longer do them for free, that she would have to charge me $400 which apparently is a deal because most birth photographers charge around $2500??? Anyway, I wasn't too impressed by that, considering she cancelled our newborn photos I think she should at least have offered to be true to her word and do our birth photos. I told Julie that I would still love to have them done but it really depended on how much she would charge. She ended up offering us a great price and we booked her :) So excited! Here is a link to her website which has some goregous photos. Can't wait to see how Ethan's turn out in a couple of weeks (or less!!!!!!!!!!)
