Who has used the Picture People??
did you have a positive experience?
how does it work? you go for a session (free?) and then if you like your pictures then you order the prints?

Re: Who has used the Picture People??
we had rosie's holiday pictures taken there and it was a great experience. i was previously warned that the pictures were overpriced and it wasn't worth the money but since i had some done there .. i wouldn't say they're overpriced, you just pay for the enormous convienence of being able to look at proofs immediately and get your prints immediately too.
i got lucky and they were having a half off sale on one of their collections .. walked out $100 poorer but not $200 poorer LOL
i plan on going back there for valentines day and easter. it's great for quickie shots but i still LOVE custom work for things like 1st bdays and special pics ie dh's christmas present.
We used them and I was not a fan...
First, it is pretty damn expensive...especially give the professionalism of the studio.
I was happy with our pictures but really, I probably could have done the same thing if I had a white backdrop....
The real problem I had with them is that they sold me this package...telling me how great it was...how one of my pictures comes framed...I leave while they print and frame my pictures and I come back and guess what, they don't have the frame I wanted...oh wait, they have NO frames...NONE! They say come back in a week and they will have it for me...fine....I come back in a week and they don't have it...they have none. WOW. Come back in another week...still don't have it..they haven one!...By this time, I was getting pissed...so I called their customer service center (corporate office) and sure enough, they'll have a frame for me...you know the one they didn't have before? So I get it finally, after nearly 3 weeks!
More than likely, I won't be spending my money there again.
I've used them a few times. The first 2 times were great. I think we lucked out and got a photographer who was really comfortable with kids and had been working there a while. The last time we went (for holiday pics) you could tell you the person was a newbie. She had no idea what to do with DD. On top of that, DD was scared and crying this time. I think the person got nervous , who knows. But this time around sucked and I dont think I'll be going back.
Like a PP said, if you can get a white background yourself, you can totally pull off what they do here.
