Posted on Tue Jun 21st, 2011 10:50am PDT By X17 Staff

Mariah Carey is shopping photos of her newborn twins, Moroccan Scott and Monroe, but she won't get the millions she's looking for, reports The New York Post.

Reportedly, even though several magazines are interested in buying the first pics of the seven-week-old twins, the photos will only fetch about $200,000.

The most expensive baby pics sold to a magazine were the first pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, in 2008. The pics went for a reported $14 million, though the money went to charity.

Carey and Cannon's twins were born in Los Angeles on April 30 but have not yet been seen in public. Said a rep for Carey: "She is still deciding when and if she's going to [do the pictures]. She is enjoying being a mom, and there's no rush. It's not about the money."

So, what is it about? Read why sources say Mariah and Nick want to sell the pics after the jump.

Sources close to Carey and Cannon say that the millionaire couple isn't concerned about money, but instead about how tastefully the photos are done.

"They're talking to a number of publications about doing it in the best and most tasteful way," said the source. "Nick ... doesn't feel entirely comfortable selling pictures of his children. But the first picture remains very valuable to the paparazzi."
