Frustrated at family photographers

(Just a rant!)

Directed at no one in particular.. but WHY do they make you email them for accurate pricing!!?

WHY do they think the busy mom wants to go back and forth in an email chain just to get the BASIC INFO that I need to decide?

Also, separating out “booking fees” and charging SEPARATELY for the actual digital files of photos?

Like “$500 booking fee, digital and prints priced separately” and then the “separately” is actually $2,000-5,000 for the photos (Which just happened to me when inquiring to a photographer!).

Why can’t the be STRAIGHTFORWARD? Urgh!!!

$500 is WAY different than $5,000! If I knew that, the I wouldn’t have wasted my time emailing you because it is not in the budget!

Your marketing in either your website or your email to me is not going to convince me to spend thousands more on a photographer.

No mom wants to spend weeks and countless hours weeding through the extra crap just to get a price.

Rant over.

Help me love the name Daniel

My husband is dead set on this name for baby #2 if this baby is a boy.

I like it but I don’t love it. It’s the only one we can sort of agree on so it’s probably going to be Daniel.

Help me to fall in love with it!

Also, please suggest middle names. We like classic/traditional names.

Edit to add that we are waiting until the delivery to find out gender so we have to pick a boy name either way. We already have a girl name picked.

trying to decide whether to move forward with having my daughter’s birthday party outside as planned, or move it indoors.

It will be 48-52 (Fahrenheit) during the party. (That’s like 9-11 Celsius)

It’ll be cloudy with light wind.

Too cold? Would it be ok?

DC Semi Formal in June. It’s a city venue.

Is this ok? I’ll be 25 weeks pregnant so end of my second trimester. My bump will probably look similar size to the bump on the model.

I know it’s not a “summer color” but it’s very hard for me to find a dress I like in summer colors that fits maternity!

There was a different one I loved but it had bad reviews from people who wore it as Maternity, so I decided against it.
