Anyone ever use Kiddie Kandids?

They just reopened in our Babies R Us- I am thinking of using them to take some 6 month photos. My photographer (who is a very good friend) just had a baby- and is taking some time off. I don't want to spend a fortune- but I have heard they are decent. Any input?

Thanks!

    I used to like them before they closed suddenly and left tons of people without a job and customers without their pictures they paid for; now, I'm not sure.

    I had heard good things about them when they were open.  I will make an unsolicited rave for the Picture People, if you are looking for a similar experience. Not only is the quality wonderful, their customer service is great.  I surpised DH with a framed matted shot of Sam for Father's day.  DH liked it but decided he wanted more of a montage of photos rather than just one.  For no charge they swapped out the pictures and the mat - and did in 10 minutes.  Printed new prints and everything.

    We went for my daughter's 3 month pics. I thought the lady did a great job, and we bought a medium package for around $100. Now I have the luxury of knowing someone who does photography (ahem...davezwife) so we get to keep the copyrights and have some versatility as far as locations so I don't think we'll go back to Kiddie Kandids but they did a good job.

    It all really depends on the photographer if you ask me! I have been there many times because it was close to my house and I knew the photographer! That being said I have been there about 5 times for the twins and once with the new little guy and I only paid once! They would call me and ask if they could use my kids as models for training for new people since I had twins and they need to learn how to deal with all sorts of situations. What I don't like about them is you have the kids on a lifted table to do the pictures! I rather would have them flat on the ground. THey also used to print the pictures onsite but not anymore you have to wait two weeks to get them back!

    The best place I have ever taken my kids is a place called Flash Digital which i had the twins first birthday but i was very sad when they closed! Picture people is pretty good too!

    I loved them before they closed and the picture in siggy is from the new place I took DS which is portrait innovations.  They did a greaet job not too expensive but they take a ton of pictures so it is hard to choose.
