Christmas photos

I want to get DD's holiday photo (our holiday cards) done ASAP. I hate holiday crowds and it's important to me that the quality be good, price second of importance. I've been using a photographer that did her hospital photos at NSUH. They've been great and come to the home and everything... quality is amazing, but very expensive.

I wasn't planning on spending on spending that much on the holiday cards. I get mailings from Target and Sears all the time and someone recently suggested BRU. I had some graduation photos done for something else years ago and they came out horrible. I can't remember which "superstore" they were done at though. Pictures were off center and just overall poor quality. I don't want that same issue here. In fact recently DD's daycare had photos done with a photographer and I thought the quality was not that good. They were inexpensive, but if I don't like them then who cares how cheap they are?

Just wanted to know what other's have used and how it turned out.

TIA.

Re: Christmas photos

I used Sears and they came out pretty good! Of course, they are all different, and I guess it depends on who actually shoots themChat Icon

We've been happy with Kiddie Kandids (in BRU) the big plus is you get the photos that day. This is were I am getting our pics done this Christmas.

I did Target for Easter and liked them, but you have to wait 2 weeks to get the pics.

Re: Christmas photos

I have used SEARS--go on a weekday morning to avoid crowds--and then I buy the CD and make the cards online

Re: Christmas photos

Ive used Target, JCPenny and BRU - - honestly, I liked both Target and Pennys better - and they are both way cheaper than BRU. The quality was good and I had no complaints. Definately go during the week, preferably in the am's to avoid crowds at this time of the year.

Re: Christmas photos

I've used Sears quite a bit and they always turn out great and you can't beat the prices. I went to KK once, and while the pictures were cute, the props were in horrible condition (i.e dirty chipped paint).

My SIL works part time at Kiddie Kandids (in BRU).

She did Ryan's 3 month pics and I think they came out awesome.

Re: Christmas photos

JCP! There is a coupon on their website for 3.99 sheets. I have been VERY happy with them. I also like KK, but I refuse to pay those prices anymore to be told I can only pic from 8 pics I didn't even get to view before the girl made the decision what to delete.
