Anyone who knows me knows I start to stress about pictures well before I even make the appointment. I worry about clothes that match, hair styles and if it will cooperate and of course now, if my almost 2 year old will be interested in having them done. Lots of planning goes into it before we even arrive for our appt. When I get their I am usually comforted in knowing that we are in capable hands and that our photographer will do her job. Boy was I wrong today. What a nightmare. I have been raving about how wonderful Portrait Innovations is since they opened last fall. I told several people and still do that they do wonderful pictures and that they should definately go there and give them a try. I have told them that the photographers are wonderful with kids and that they get on the floor and take great pride in their candid shots. I also told everyone they are very patient and will work with you and team up to help if need be. I have bragged that they take a good amount of time to show you your options and what they were able to shoot.
That was my fantasy world aparently or else they have just really gone down hill since last year. We have had many a beautiful picture taken there, but our Christmas pictures were a mess. We waited almost 45 min to go past our appt time. By then Madison was not in the best of moods and our photographer took 1 pose and franl=kly decided Madison was "busy" and at that point as far as I am concerned gave up. She pretty just sat there on the floor taking an occasional picture. And I say occasional. I mean it's not like they were wasting film... they are digital! SHe never posed us again, and Aaron and I found ourselves lost trying to pose the three of us, mak her smile and remember to look at the camera. Then they wisked us off to the next room where th madness cont. I even made the comment that she didn't have to be perfect, that candid was good. I finally told er to take the picture. A lot of good shots were missed. I am so dissapointed. Then she rushed us throught our selctions and didn't even go over our free items with us. Needless to say I was very dissapointed. They attitde there was, Let's quickly get all these people out of here. I don't know what else to say. I am not sure if I will go back.
Through all this we managed to get a couple of "okay" shots. I may be calling sears to see if they have any openings.

I've used them 3 times and it was horrible each time, but especially this third time. I wanted to rip the camera out of the "photographers" hands and take them myself. In 30 minutes, they took I think 36 pictures of Ada. I can take that many in 15 seconds!
These pictures are so adorable even if the expierence was bad. I wouldn't worry about SEARS so much, but these ones are great. I am thinking about getting our pictures done but maybe I will think twice before going there! Jeez Louise!!!!
she is SOOOOOOOOOO flipping cute!!!
