Picture People Review

I know the subject of pictures comes up fairly often so I thought I would share my experience with the Picture People.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 5. The girl who shot the pics was very nice and was great with Ava but she had her Halloween costume on (she is a bumble bee) and for one pic she put her against a dark green background and you can hardly see her. If the background was lighter it would have been an amazing pic.

The pics came out ok - nothing to go crazy over. I found that they were very blurry and out of focus. I had a gift certificate so I got a few just b/c they were cute but HOLY expensive. I didn't think it was worth the money at all. For $75 I got nothing other than an 8x10, a 5x7 and a few wallets.

For the future I will take a white sheet and drape it someplace in my house and have DH and I take the pics with our digital camera. At least those will be clear and they'll be much cheaper using Shutterfly!!!!!

Here is one pic that I ordered - thought this one was the best out of all of them.

Yikes. Thanks for sharing. I'm supposed to be taking Jake there next weekend. I thought they weren't that expensive. That's the same price as BRU. Chat Icon

Any other reviews on this place?

Thanks for the review Lori. Ava is adorable in her bee costume.

Re: Picture People Review

I recently went to JC Penney's and had Jared's picture taken. I decided to use them because I had a gift card with leftover $$ on it. I got a 59.99 package which was 8 shots. I chose to do 4 with special effects and 4 regular. I also got 2 additional pictures at the 3.99 a sheet price. So I paid about 73.00 and got 4 8x10, 3 5x7, 19 wallets and a 11x 15 with 3 photos and an enhancement.

I pick them up this Saturday. I think they came out cute but they didn't do any cute props or backgrounds.

Ava is just too cute for words!

And I hear you about the picture places. Last year, I draped a red sheet up and took Andrew's Christmas pictures myself, had the cards made at Shutterfly and they were the best ever!

I used PP for Nick's pics when he was 2 months old - I did not like them. I thought that they did not spend enough time to get good shots, and then charged me an arm and a leg for mediocre pics. I recently went to Target for his 1 year pics and was very happy!

Re: Picture People Review

I used to work at Picture People a couple of years ago and back then, their prices were actually really good. So, I had a coupon and I went there, thinking the prices were probably about the same as when I worked there... WRONG! They really upped their prices. The prices are now completely unreasonable for a photo place that doesn't even train their photographers properly Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETA: Ava's adorable! Chat Icon
