None of the above.

I’m a photographer and I try to take my kids photos once a year. Babies up to 2-3 I try to do a bit more than that.
If I wouldn’t be a photographer I wouldn’t be able to afford professional pictures more than every few years.

I try for once a year. I don't do expensive. JCPenney or someone new starting out. Never more than 100 dollars.

Every 4-5 years, but I when we do it, we do get someone very professional and do a whole outdoor shoot. the pics come out gorgeous.

When I was a kid my parents did it more often for us, but it was just at like the Walmart photo studio. Dont think these types of studios still exists?

Yes JCPenney does it. With Groupon it's about 30 dollars. I've done it 6 times. Twice I used new people. Spent 80 on one and 50 on the other.

I did it at one year for my kids and except for one they didn't come out good so I did it myself for my 4th. I find my kids do best when I photograph them. Unless my mother is doing it. But anyone they don't know doesn't work well. I only know one person who does it yearly and she doesn't take pictures herself in general because she has a flip phone.

Did it once in 2016 when a relative who’s a photographer was in town and the next time was 2024 for a bar mitzva. Been married for almost 15 years and those were the only two times.

I do take pics on my iPhone almost every day, and print photo books off those about twice a year.

For those who get them done often- what do you do with the pictures? Make an album or get prints for the wall? And if you do get wall prints to hang do you switch them out with newer ones or do you keep the old ones up even from years ago and just keep adding to your walls?

I take a photo shoot when every new baby turns about 2. So it comes out every 3 years or so. I hand the prints on the wall, and replace them. I also do a 1 year birthday shoot of just the baby. I usually book a cheap photographer or use JCPenney.

I really hate the shlep so I keep pushing it off. So when there’s a simcha or opportunity I take it but otherwise doesn’t really happen.

I did it family pictures in a local park before my son's bar mitzvah and my daughter's bas mitzvah. (2 years apart) We were all already dressed up and made up so it worked. But that's it. It's expensive!!

Photoshoots are a lot of money and a lot of stress. We take when we realize it’s been a while. We use cheaper photographers like newbies and sometimes we don’t get pictures I love but you get what you pay for. If I was a millionaire I’d probably do once a year
