How often do you get professional pictures taken of your LO? THis is so sad to admit, but I have only gotten 1 session of professional pictures since London's been born. It is not the money at all, but the time and effort! ugh such a bad mommy.
How do you store your pictures (CD, Computer, hard copy...)? I store my pictures various ways. I have a ton on my computer and my phone. I also have printed a ton out and made scrapebooks.
Do you make scrapbooks or photobooks for your kids? Yes, I have a few scrapbooks of the kiddies, although Im so behind
BTDT Moms? DO you find yourself taking more pictures or less pictures of your July baby than your older kids? I have more professional pictures of Caden and more non-professionals of London. I feel so so bad about this too! really bad..
New moms? How many pictures are you taking?

i think i will skew these results 
i take "professional" ones probably once a week...as in i set up something or take them somewhere.
they are stored on 2 ehds and online
no scrapbooks but i make coffee table books (nice ones, not ones from shutterfly. i'm kinda picky. mine are thick, leather, with hard, hinged, linen pages)
i take lots, more than before, i just don't share as much as i used to (less time)

I had them done a couple times in Maggie's first year, but I will go to annually for her this year. Cost is a factor for this, but we also have a really nice camera and we enjoy playing around with it, so we're still taking plenty. They're just not pro shots.
I store them everywhere on cd and on my computer. I print most of them and keep them in albums and frame a bunch. I kick it old school and limit myself to albums. I tried a scrapbook once for her, and that's just way too much like work thank you very much. I'm a crafty gal, but I can't fuss with anything for too long or I get arrghed with it. arrghed = frustrated.

Kristen...hey whats wrong with shutterfly? LMAO Us lay people need shutterfly.. 
How often do you get professional pictures taken of your LO? I am also bad at this. Grace has a ton of perfessional (well studio) pictures. Caleb only has one session last Christmas. Unless I count the pictures Kristen took of him...which I will so I feel better.
How do you store your pictures (CD, Computer, hard copy...)? I store them to my computer then every few months I back them all up to a DVD-RW. I don't really have any hard copies.
Do you make scrapbooks or photobooks for your kids? I make photobooks through shutterfly once a year for each child. I just don't have the money or the time to do more then that. I would LOVE to have a professional photo session outdoors and get some large canvas prints made. Maybe one day ... :dreaming of this:
BTD T Moms? DO you find yourself taking more pictures or less pictures of your July baby than your older kids? I am taking the same amount of pictures but they aren't as well organized. I have to take a guess at the date of some of them. I also try to get a lot of pictures of Caleb by himself. My little sister always complained that every picture of her had me in it so that is always in the back of my mind.

Nothing!! I'm just super picky and since I use pro labs for my business I've gotten to see really nice books and albums. And well since I'm a photog I get them at cost so it's roughly the same price for me.

How often do you get professional pictures taken of your LO? I had some done for his first birthday. That's it so far. 
How do you store your pictures (CD, Computer, hard copy...)? I scrapbook some, so I print ones I want and store them that way. I also have them on my computer. And we have backed up all our photos onto flash drives that live in our safe deposit box. We do that once a quarter.
Do you make scrapbooks or photobooks for your kids? Yes, but I don't have a lot of time to do it lately.
BTDT Moms? DO you find yourself taking more pictures or less pictures of your July baby than your older kids? WAY less. With Sarah Beth we took pictures every single day for the first three years of her life. LOL. With Daniel, I think I take a picture every month, maybe. But I know there have been times I've even missed a month here and there. LOL.

How often do you get professional pictures taken of your LO? twice a year. I'm lucky that I can incorporate DD's bday, Christmas and the boys 1/2 yr bday all into one. And then again in July, I can take the boys bday pics and DD's 1/2 yr bday pics.
How do you store your pictures (CD, Computer, hard copy...)? computer
Do you make scrapbooks or photobooks for your kids? digital scrapbooking
BTDT Moms? DO you find yourself taking more pictures or less pictures of your July baby than your older kids? It is equal.
New moms? How many pictures are you taking?

Usually about once a year, but we haven't gotten any yet with Jr.
How do you store your pictures (CD, Computer, hard copy...)?
On the computer
Do you make scrapbooks or photobooks for your kids?
His baby book looks more like a scrap book. I've got to get a new printer and start working on a photo album.
BTDT Moms? DO you find yourself taking more pictures or less pictures of your July baby than your older kids?
I take WAY more pics of Jr than I did the older kids. I think it's the whole digital camera thing.
New moms? How many pictures are you taking?
