Hi J.!
Your dilemma is exactly what I was going through with all of my babies - finding really good photography without paying a fortune! The mall places are cute, but i always felt so rushed and didn't really feel like my baby's personality was being captured. Plus you get so pressured to get the whole dang package!
if you're looking for something as a happy medium between a way overpriced studio, and a little more friendly and personal than mall places, you should check out
My sister and I decided to open our own studio to help others get great beautiful pictures at affordable prices. And right now its even more affordable cause we are looking for models to build up our portfolio for our new website! So you can get a completely free session plus 3 free 8x10 prints just for letting us use your baby's adorable face on our website! We can come to your location or you can come to our in-home studio - how's that for convenience?
Good luck finding the perfect place for you! 6 months is SUCH a precious age to capture on film! my baby girl is 6 months also and I am LOVING getting her personality down for memory these days!
