How necessary IS a maternity and newborn photographer?

My husband doesn't seem to understand why on Earth we would ever need a maternity and/or newborn photographer. Can't one of our friends or family members take photos? Don't I take enough photos already (The answer to this, of course, is yes!)? Certainly we wouldn't want to do this for any subsequent children?!!

I used to think that this kind of photo shoot was an absolute necessity. Many people do this, and amazing photos and timeless memories result.

The more I think about it, though, I wonder if it really is more of a waste of money. I can't see us pursuing such photo packages with any other children we have, and Lord knows our firstborn will be plenty photographed as it is.

I asked for recommendations of photographers in the MD area yesterday on Facebook, but now I am looking for advice from new moms. Did you do a maternity/newborn shoot? Any regrets? Would you do it again?

I am open to any and all suggestions!!
