Is this worth $500?

[dmacneil]

Didn't exactly know where to post this.. but I've got great feedback (on my own photos) from the photography.ca critique community in the past and I really trust your collective opinion(s). I thought I would make a post about my current situation for a critique.

My wife and I recently engaged a professional photographer to help us out with some infant photos of our daughter as she turned one year old. Below is a link to what we got back.

This shoot cost us $500 for a 30 minute session and the associated post-processing. My sense is that we didn't get good value for that money.. but I wanted to see if the critique community felt the same way. Maybe I'm wrong and these are professional grade. I won't influence your opinion by pointing out what I think is amiss..

Thanks in advance for any help.
