Sears, JCP, Portrait Innovations?

Looking for others' experiences getting pictures done at one of these studios?  I've called Sears and PI, and actually currently have an appointment scheduled with Sears, but I know they said pictures take 2-3 weeks to come in from the lab and I was hoping to have pics to pass out to relatives at Easter.  I know you get prints same day at PI, but I've heard they can be pushy and even though I've called I feel like I don't have straight info on their pricing because of all the "customizable packages" they have.

We've done the pro newborn pics, and pro pics in November for Christmas.  Just looking for a good studio experience.

Thanks!

The problem with PI is that you get tons of prints but only one pose unless you buy one of their bigger packages. I like going to Target for

I like the JCP location in Troy.  The manager there is awesome, especially with little babies.  I did NOT like the Northville location of porrait innovations.  So many people waiting that people were sitting on the floors!

So far we have been using JCP for pictures. We did our one month and three month photos there. I liked them so far. They take a lot of pictures and its pretty affordable. We do the $4 sheets. You can pick out whatever poses and types of sheets that you wa

How did your pictures turn out?

Well we ended up going to PI, and after they ran about a half hour late and DS having a complete meltdown when the photographer tried to get in his face with the camera, we left with no pictures.

So we had Amanda Williams come over to our hou

I love portrait scene! We had indoor and outdoor photos with them! I also bought a groupon for my family in Flordia to get portraits taken as well.
