Hey all your Lifetouch haters

[golfgal]

We got our twins' pictures back today and they are awesome. It is actually a proof sheet like you get for senior pictures with 6 different poses from which you can choose. There is a full body pose, a couple head shots, a black and white shot and a sepia shot. The big package price is $27 for 2 8x10's, 2 5x7's, 4 3x5's and 2 2x3's and 8 wallet exchanges. You can also select individual sheets, say an 8x10 or 2 5x7's without having to buy a full package, something we have never been able to do. Now the hard part is selecting which pose????

I'm not a Lifetouch hater.... I've always gotten awesome pics! Glad yours turned out so well!

I love Lifetouch. We always get great pictures at reasonable prices!

I really think it depends on the area and obviously the individual franchises. I just got my DD's order form, no different from previous years. % or 6 different packages, cheapest one is 12.75, pre-paid of course.

I agree. I've never had problems with Lifetouch.

Wow, I would be much more likely to LOVE them if the pricing was like that. I'm looking over the packages now and the big package is $62.00 and the smallest (2) 5x7, (12) 2X3, (8) 1.5X2.5, and the class picture is $37.00. WTH??? Thats not right.

We have always been satisfied with Lifetouch school pics also. Photos, selection and price.

How do you get a selection, with us and Lifetouch you pre-pay and you get nwhat they give you. It is one shot only.

Glad yours came out good - I've had nothing but problems with Lifetouch over the years myself.

This is how it works here too.

I have no idea. I wonder if they are testing this in this area or something. We have always had the pre-pay one shot only deal too. The middle school did pictures during the back to school open house the week before school started. They had 5 or 6 photographers there taking pictures. It will be interesting to see if everyone had good shots or not. I tell you, these photos are almost senior picture quality. I am amazed! They also make my 11 year old's look 16 but that is another thing all together .


Also, in case someone is wondering why I posted like this there is a big thread about not liking Lifetouch.

I'm glad you were happy w/ your pictures.

In all the years my kids had their school pictures taken by Lifetouch, I was thrilled w/ one picture.

I think it's just the luck of the draw-depends on which photographer they send to your school that day.

I miss the days when a local photographer w/ a stake in the community took the school pictures. (I know, I'm a dinasour!)

Lifetouch did our church directory and we prepaid for some extra family photos. I received a notice in the mail that the photos did not meet their quality standards and I could either get a refund or have the photos retaken. I thought the prices were rather high, compared to photos that I have had taken at other studios so I passed.

Lifetouch is affailiated with JcPenney (or the other way around), which where I would have went for a retake. Anyway when I go to JCPenney or Sears I always make sure I have a coupon.

I like Lifetouch. In Texas, they do pics twice a year. We usually blow off the fall mugshots and do the spring posed ones. When we moved to Mississippi, they had a local person doing the pictures and they were bad and expensive!!
