Really good or just plain awkward.
This year for school pictures, daycare hired a new company. Here was my experience:
1. They provided odd frilly costumes for the kids. ... yeah no thanks. I'll dress my child in a normal outfit. This isn't glamorshots.
2. The photographer was a male with a deep voice. ... that wouldn't have been a problem except I kept hearing that his deep voice was scaring all the kids which wasn't allowing him to get good shots.
3. They had a substitute teacher in with the photographer. ... good idea to have a teacher, however use the sub to fill in the class room and allow the regular teacher to take the kids to the photographer. That way the teacher can assist in making the child smile! Nope the kids were uncomfortable with a sub and uncomfortable with the photographer. Great.....
4. Previews. ... This was the BEST part of this company. They had proofs the same day for you to view. No waiting a month to view. Awesome!
5. Cost. ... Pictures are expensive. I get that. However I think $39.99 plus tax for ONE sheet of pictures is RIDICULOUS!!!! It was the cheapest option! The rest of the "packages" were minimum $150 and just kept going up! Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!!! Needless to say I purchased ONE sheet of 8 wallets. That way everyone could have one. Thankfully they gave 2 free gifts with a purchase. An 8x10 and 6 free christmas cards. Well I cut the pictures out of the christmas cards, so I would have a few 3x5. Not joking.
Needless to say this company sucked and I sincerely hope that daycare does NOT bring them back.
Oh and here's the only picture they could get of both my children together. I guess its one for the scrapbook!
