dorkydiva Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I used to go to Sears but after a couple of Christmases waiting 1 1/2 hours even though I had an appointment (so of course by the time we got pictures taken the kids were very grumpy) I switched to JCPenney. Last year, though, I took my own pictures and did the photo cards at Walmart. I was really pleased so will probably do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srace Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 We will be going to WalMart for ours this year. Haven't come up with a time yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erh12275 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I don't even wanna think about this. It's such a hassle w/ 3 lil ones. Ugh why'd you go and bring that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoNutAmber Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 This is what I'm sending out this year. Shot this a couple days ago. My son's Christmas Picture.Not Perfect, but not too bad. My family will enjoy it.I wasn't sure if I could put the picture directly into the image or not, so I didn't. Amber ~ Okay so I'm just a proud mommy showing off .

joann Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 We did our own last year. They turned out okay. We printed them at home and saved a bundle. This year I have a "vision" of a b&w close up of the girls with the message in gold. I dread taking posed shots of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4linkae Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I take all my photos myself also...I started when my youngest was born ~ now I take everything, including lots of family and friends. Definately much cheaper and nice since we are home and don't have to worry about them getting dirty, spilling something, crying, fighting, etc. etc. LOL!

elena_398 Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 had to reschedule my origonal appointment for christmas pics. Thank god I did it as soon as I knew I wouldn't be able to.... Almost filled up past the time they will guarantee pics will be back by christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musiang Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Our WM is really good here for portraits. The girls are really good, or have been the past 3 years. I think I better call and get my appointment now as well, just in case. I wish we had some other place to go, as I see all kinds of coupons for Picture People and Sears and there is none around here.

gisellerol Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I EITHER USE SEARS OR TARGET THIS YEAR IT WILL BE TARGET ONLY $9.99 AND NO SITTING FEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat1jen Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I just had mine done at Portrait Innovations. They had a $9.95 special. Of course I ordered extra, but they are great gifts. Their prices are cheap, and all my pics were ready in an hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their prices are cheap, and all my pics were ready in an hour!We have an appt at Portrait Innovations today at 1:50. I hope all goes well. Picture People charges $40.00 per "pose". A pose is a pre-made pkg of a certain # of pics. I ahve a coupon for Buy 3 poses, get 2 free. It would still cost $120 though. Thats why I'm going for the 9.95 deal!!

Melissa Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I just made our appointment today at Sears for this coming Saturday. I thought sure they'd tell me they were booked, but I lucked out. I've got a coupon for a free sitting, 35 portraits for $9.99, plus 50% off a new Smilesaver's Plan (ours ran out a couple years ago). Good deal!

Melissa Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 By the way, has anyone tried the new digital portraits at Sears? Apparently they are available the same day you get them taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msomnipotent Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I am going to take my daughter to Babies R Us to get pics. I forgot their name now. It's a bit more expensive, but the photos are great and they give you a disk with the pics on them so you can reprint all you need. Our community no longer has pictures with Santa. It is now "Tamale Breakfast with Santa". WTF??? So now if I really want to have Santa in the picture, I have to dress the baby up like a dog and go to Petsmart.

ajburlingame Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Just got my pictures back yesterday of my daughter. My mom took her to JCPenney portrait studio on a Thursday, and she had the first appointment of the day so she didn't have to wait. They were the best pictures that we have ever had taken of my daughter. Mom had a coupon for a free sitting fee, free 8 x 10 and each sheet for $3.99. We got 14 sheets and Christmas cards.

fairydustcrissy Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Well, we went to Portrait Innovations today. I loved it! They were so great with the kids, the props were REAl (real christmas tree, etc). The pics came out great! Ours were ready in 30 minutes! I was so oimpressed! I will post the pic as soon as I find someone with a scanner. (ours is packed away somewhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloey Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 ive had my kids done already.... at olan mills and at walmart.. olan mills has an awesome online special right nowFor those of you who didn't see my picture of my cat, Olan Mills did that and for about 8 bucks total I got a ton of pics. On the other hand, my ds and dil and gd went to Penny's for theirs. I don't know what they paid, but the pics are absolutely gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright1baby Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 We do them at home and walmart actually does the same type of christmas card photos in 1 hour for .22 (i think). It's easier and more natural where my kids can aggrevate the crap out of each other in the comfort of their own home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope1976 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ok, so I know this isn't exactly a portait, but I'm thinking of getting prints made. I love working with Paint Shop Pro and I had a ball today, since we got our first actual snow (at least that stuck to the ground LOL)...Thought I'd share and have a little "brag" moment We do have 2 other kids, but one was inside sleeping (10 months) and one was at school (7) so our 4 year old was the lucky one I haven't seen a whole lot of pictures posted, so if I'm in the wrong, someone let me know http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v342/woodie1976/Amy/FirstSnowCollageSmall.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappynik Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I take all our own photos :) At the mall, we are always allowed to take our own photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 They frown at my mall to bring your kids and not buy a pic. Last year, I had my daughter sit on Santas lap and my husband took a pic from the front. One of the "elves" gave us a dirty look. I thought that was so rude. I refused to pay $8 for a polaroid.

Melissa Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Those Santa pics are such a rip-off! I either take my own or just decline the picture altogether. Unfortunately, my husband is a sucker who will buy just about anything.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
