Am I being tight - photographs

We had photos taken of Macy when she was 3 weeks. On Friday the photographer emailed me the pictures with prices.

He was with us for 2hrs. Macy was ok but not on her best form as she was undressed and didn't like it.

He has sent through 29 photos and we can have all these photos for £200 or buy them seperately for £6 each at a normal size going up in size and price to A3 forphotographs. But I can't understand how he was with us for 2hrs and only has 29 photos that he wants that amount for. I also paid him £45 to come to my parents house to take the photos. So in total it could be £245 for 29 photos that are nice but the ones of Macy are not great. But what's pulling me to get them is that we don't have any professional photos of her at this size and we will regret it in the long run.

That's a ridiculous amount. My friend's husband is a freelance photographer, he's done loads of portraits for me and has just done us some bump pictures. He gives us mates rates, but I know that he charges nowhere near that, and he takes literally hundreds of photos so the clients can choose which ones they want for a particular package.

The price Cazzlou has mentioned is much more like it. I would email him and explain that you're not happy with the quality of the pictures for the price he's charging. Have you paid him a deposit at all?
