Our Picture Fiasco..

So lastnight we had our appointment at
K-Mart to get Kaylee's pictures taken.. We
got there a little bit early & still
got stuck waiting for about a half an hour
before we got in. Kaylee was soo happy
when we first got there, she was smiling
& looking all around. We *finally* got
called in to get the pictures done &
the photographer was a health forum...She
wasn't a baby person at all & all
Kaylee did the whole time everytime Shane
or I would put her down was scream.. Keep
in mind..Kaylee is *always* happy unless
her teeth are hurting her/belly ache..
something along those lines.. But she
wasn't liking the photographer at all
& I wasn't blaming her. Finally after
about 20 minutes of trying to get a good
picture, we managed to get one good one of
Kaylee in just her diaper laying on her
back playing with her feet. We rescheduled
for Wednesday, so we'll see how it goes
then. All I know is we're never going back
there again after we get these pictures.
The lady was just downright rude...

id be soo mad, the whole point of making
appointments is so your not sitting around
waiting, id find a place that does alot
more baby pictures, i didnt like walmart
when they did my sisters daughters pics,
they turned out really crappy looking. and
it took so long to get them done that
tristen fell asleep so most of the pics
she was sleeping so it was a total waste
of money

I'm not sure if all .K-marts do them, ours
just has a little room that's next to the
fitting rooms. Not professional at all,
the way my one friend talks them up I
thought it was going to be alot better.. I
wasn't impressed though

Sears does do a great job with pics!!!
They are really expensive tho. They will
do the package, but all the really nice
pics are extra $

I would have been mad. I think it all
depends on the person taking the pictures
and not necessarily the place. I had
pictures done and JC Penny's and the woman
was horrible. She was not a baby person
either. Actually, I don't think she was a
people person. She wanted to be quickly
done with picture taking so she can have a
smoke. It ticked me off.
I always thought JC Penny's and Sears
cost the same. Is that not true?? Our
package really wasn't that cheap. It
wasn't as inexpensive as Walmart.
Macysmama?? What are you talking about???
Some of us don't know what you do. Please
tell.
I have only see Kiddie Candid's in Arizona
but I love that place!!!! I heard Picture
People are good, too. I am sure that they
really make sure that the people they hire
are baby and kid people....

well walmart and jcpenney are all
controlled by buttons. all the worker does
is press a button and the backdrop they
want comes down and the camera moves. at
sears out camera is on a tripod thing so
we control moving it and have to squat and
stand repeatedly to accomodate the pose.
then we have to onroll and setup every
background. plus the work of getting the
kid/s to smile. its a .L.O.T of work. most
of the time we have to get down on the
ground to show ppl how we want them. I had
one lady say "geez with all the moving ya
do youd think youd be skinnier!"

I've had .adriana's pics done once at
wal-mart and I was not impressed. The lady
was terrible and .adriana hated her. She
was not at all kid friendly. So we've been
true to JcPenney's since then. We are
1,000% satisfied with their pics, they
have always turned out great and the
people are our Penneys are wonderful, and
very kid friendly. I'll never go anywhere
else!

Macysmama!! I can't believe someone would
even say something like that. How did you
handle your composure??? It would take all
of my strength to just not go off. It does
sound like you work very hard at getting
good pictures. Too bad we don't live near
you!!! We would go to you to get some
great pics developed.

Our .k-mart experience went perfectly.
Michelle, if she's having trouble when you
sit her down - .alyvia is the exact same
way - ask .shane to sit beside her, and
then stand beside the photographer as
close to the camera as you can get. And go
".kaylee!" and make silly noises or
whatever she likes. Try to do it while
she's still whining and before she starts
crying. It has a better chance of
distracting her. She'll probably smile at
a familiar face! That's the only way
we got .alyvia to smile, and our
photographer was nice and was trying to
ring bells and make noises at her. She
wasn't having any of it - she wanted her
.mommy. So yeah, try that! You'll probably
get much better shots!
