I realize this is older... but about how much did you have to spend? they are coming out on Monday to show me the results of the portraits they took and I don't want sticker shock!! any chance you remember what you paid
THEY DONE PHOTOS FOR MY NEWBORNBABY WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. A MONTH LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID I GOT FREE PHOTOSEESION. SO I AGREED. THEY CAME, TOOK PHOTOS. WHEN THEY CAME BACK, WITH CD AND PHOTOS ETC, THEY WANTED OVER 1000 DOLLARS FOR THE PACKAGE. I DINT WANT TO BUY IT, I SAID F**K IT. BUT THEY KEPT CALLING ME EVERY DAY, SO FINALLY I PURCHASED ONLY CD WITH MY BABY PHOTOS. THEY WERE REALLY GREAT, REALLY CUTE, BUT I PAID 700 BUCKS FOR IT.. I'M A LOOSER I KNOW, I SHOULDNT BUY IT BUT THE PHOTOS WERE SO INSANELY BEAUTIFUL. SO I DI IT. TODAY THEY CALLED ME AGAIN. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN, MY BABY IS GOING TO BE 1 YEAR OLD IN TWO WEEKS AND I AM GOING TO SEARS TO TAKE SOME NICE PHOTOS.
This is 365 Portraits. The photos are very beautiful, it's an easy experience to have photos of your children taken in house, but the packages are very expensive. The cheapest package is about $300 from what I remember. I was suckered into purchasing a "3 year photo session" when they first came to photograph my son a month or two after birth. We ended up spending about $300 on photos then, and they always offer a return visit with a free 8x10. Again, when he turned 1, I spent $300 - which was the cheapest I could buy! It isn't worth having them come to the house for the ONE free 8x10 - you won't be able to turn down all of these amazing shots, and you will have to swallow that those shots will be lost forever - unless you want to dish out at least $300.... There is no a la carte pricing, or price per sheet as I remember. I told them to not bother calling me, I would just eat the cost for pre-purchasing the "3 year photo session" and that I didn't want them to call anymore... Well, they just called today. I didn't answer, and no message.
It's not DISHONEST, it's free if that's all you choose to get is the free 8X10. Of course it's a way of them soliciting additional business. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think they are great and have used them since they took my baby's photos in the hospital.
