My DS is 6 months and I'd like to take him somewhere to get a nice picture taken. Any recommendations of a chain that does a nice job with decent prices?
We had our youngest DDs pics taken at Sadies, they have some really unique backgrounds and themed studios. We were very impressed with the quality and we received our finished portraits in a couple of hours. Went out had lunch, returned and they were done.
It is a chain, they have locations in:
Coral Springs, FL
Tampa, FL
Whitehall, PA
Northbrook, IL
Mall of America,MN
We usually do ours at Sears or Penney's. Tried Walmart once and didn't like it too much... the photo girl just didn't seem professional enough and seemed too rushed.
I have had many portraits of my son done at J.C. Penney throughout the years. We just had some done for his First Communion in May, and they came out beautifully.
I had one, very bad experience in Sears when DS was about 18 months. It was bad enough that I never went back.
Penney's has never rushed us and done beautiful work for the money. You can print out an on-line coupon for them. Use it to order the big package deal; it's a great value. You'll get more pictures than you'll know what to do with in that package.
I used to get the kids done at The Picture People. I love their work. They are a little more pricey than the other places mentioned, but no offense to anyone else, I think the backgrounds at some of the other places look really fake. Nice thing about the Picture People, you get actual photos in an hour.
My granddaughers last pictures were done at Babies r us and they were beautiful. My DIL got to see them the same day. She had 3 changes of clothes too. I think the price was very good but she wouldn't tell me how much.

I vote for Sears (um, not just because I have worked in the portrait studio there for 7 years or so ). But let me also say this...every studio can have its good days AND bad days. If you go somewhere and are not happy, always give it one more shot.
