I am so sorry for your loss that is why I like the cds. I want to get a fire proof safe and put them all in there.

I spend nothing on family photos...  we take personal group shots all year round when we are doing events.  Camera phones are awesome... they're all digital.   

Our Christmas Cards are of a holiday family group photo, we paid to have the cards made at Costco.. so maybe $25.

We used to spend a couple hundred dollars a year on family pictures. Nowadays, with the boys both grown and almost grown (junior in college, senior in high school), we don't take formal family portraits anymore. We do get in a few informal family pictures on our phones, though! :thumbsup:

Don't do family pictures anymore. However, my children get the grandchildren together to get a photograph made of them every few years. I really like that.

I can't get the whole family together for a group photo like I'd love to have. So, every year at Christmas, I have one of the girlfriends take a photo of my husband and I to document our new wrinkles. :)

Not a cent ideally! We can just snap a picture on any of our phones nowadays. If there's one worth printing I guess that'l run a few bucks.

We did family  photos at Thanks giving, although mostly my brother and sisters family.  Since their is  only my hubby and I, it didn't take long to do ours. Haven't seen any yet. But am sure they are great.

Haven't had a family done in years.  Just use the camera or phone and have them printed.

We've never had formal family pictures taken.  In fact we are a blended family and our most recent family picture was taken when we got married in 2015. It would be great to have pictures updated - and done with a photographer but the cost is crazy when the convenience of camera's on phones makes it so convenient.
