That is the most important part of life, in my opinion, and I was really going through a tough time with my husband of 5 years. It was really rough-going for several years before I finally got the kind of help I needed. I never would have thought I would have gone to a necromancer, but Ekaka is more than just about "spells": He is a caring, deeply evolved human being with great sensitivity, and if it were not for him, I am totally certain my husband and I would be each other's "ex" on this very day. I love Dr Ekaka!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555798415311604506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548254264374196673.post-10363017151813744552014-05-03T09:41:41.481-07:002014-05-03T09:41:41.481-07:00I had a friend to snap some photos of us -- she is...I had a friend to snap some photos of us -- she is a great photographer and has a nice camera! If you can wrangle someone with a 50mm lens, even just that and LOTS of photos taken should give you some nice ones to choose from! Spend the money on newborn pics (and maybe a blowout before the sessions as it will give it a much more professional look!)

There are some amazing ones out there and it would've been nice to have that time captured professionally. Plus tons of photogs will do packages that include maternity, newborn, 6mo and 1 year for a deep discount if you use them for all - I mean your hubs has to like discounts, right?<br /><br />Oh, and I totally know what you mean about baby clothes AA.

But I think even if you can't get him to be in them, you should do some for yourself (and maybe, if he's around, the photog can persuade him to be in a couple shots?) We were able to have a friend of my sister do our photos as a gift, and we tipped her nicely. You can always try to see if you have an amateur photog friend willing to help out, or check Craigslist for new photographers looking for work (usually cheap or free)? I definitely don't think they're necessary, but they are nice to have. It's always SO surreal now when I look back on our maternity pics. I posted some a couple weeks ago if you want to check them out. <br /><br />xx Viv at <a href="http://joiedeviv.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">JoieDeViv</a>Joie de Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750155276909419441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548254264374196673.post-90776190713053217732014-05-02T14:42:36.810-07:002014-05-02T14:42:36.810-07:00love that elephant print!! so cute :)

And if you want to do maternity photos, you need to get them done! I've seen some really cute ones. I'm not going to lie though, I have the mentality of a man when it comes to getting photos done...we didn't even do engagement photos because I just hated the thought of spending money on that...and I hate having my picture taken. Who knows what having a baby inside of me will do though, haha. I have a friend that had them done and she was so happy with them. If he doesn't want to pay for them professionally, couldn't one of your moms or a friend help you out? My mother-in-law is my go-to woman for Christmas card pictures. I guess maternity pictures are a bit more intimate though. Just a thought.

Definitely get newborn photos though- instead of hiring someone I let a friend who was trying to learn photography take them for me and they're ok. I don't hate them but they're not as good as they could have been and I'm kind of sad about that. By the time I realized it and saw the photos he was already too old :( Also I'm super jealous you're parents are going to Aruba- one of my favorite places!!
