to scan nursery photos?

[sunchild77]

DS1 has just returned from nursery with the annual photos, which are really LOVELY and £25 a pop.

There are 2 sets, one of DD1 on his own and one of DS1 and DS2 together. Problem is I LOVE both sets of pics, but can't afford £50 for both... I can just about afford one set, but tbh both sets are really nice and I want them both....

Mr DS1's friend's dad says he'll scan them for me for nothing, (he's already done his DS pics) I could pay £25 for one set and scan the other....?

Oh it just feels so wrong! Ahhhh what to do?
What would you do?

I'm not a photographer, and I am horrified at the prices.

But it's wrong and it's theft to take the image by scanning. Would you really want to lose your integrity for a photo?

One of the school photographers who did our lot recently also sold the photo digitally (on disc) with permission to make as many copies as you like.

Perhaps the OP could negotiate individually for that?
