Best Portrait Studio: JCPenney vs Sears

Having pro photos taken of your little ones is usually quite expensive. Getting photos done by an amateur and inexperienced student who is just learning photography is not a wise choice. A lot of men and women just can't allow paying money for bad photos. Fortunately, big retail stores such as JCPenney have created speedy, simple and most significantly inexpensive portrait studios inside the shops.



As I was searching for a good portrait studio to get my kids' very first pictures done I checked out JCPenney as they offer a lot of special club offers based on your wishes like a family. A club discount moms and dads to could be interested in is the famous 'parent to be program.' Basically, it is a free program meant for mommies and daddies to be. Signing up for this program enables you to unique parenthood photo offers, no hidden costs, i.e. "fine print," and a complimentary 8 inches by 10 inches photograph. In case you might have a 6 month old child or younger it is possible sign up for a newborn program. That program advertises that you'll not have a "fine print" plus you'll get a gratis 8 inches by 10 inches portrait. New promo programs JCPenney presents include the portrait club, birthday club, and a lot of printable coupons to select from. Because of the special discount offers and promotions, I decided to get 2 special theme concepts for around $150.00. This price is quite reasonable considering the quality of photos. The photographer managed to get my 4 month old daughter to be happy and giggle for the digital camera. For that I'm so thankful for. On the other hand, I was unsatisfied with the lack of adaptability the photographer had provided me.



For my daughter's 1st birthday and Christmas I determined to try out Sears Portrait Studio. This studio has all sorts of discounts too. One for which I believe is great is the special Military Discount. This club offer is given to men and women who're serving in the US Army. Of course, a valid military identification card is required. Basically, men and women who meet the criteria will be able to save amazing twenty percent on the complete web photo purchase. This studio offers a lot of web a printable coupon codes as well. A lot of coupon codes feature the 'Special Event' coupon code, the 'Graduation' coupon code and the 'Trial Package' coupon code. It is possible to decide to register for the 'Smile Savers' club. Basically, this is a club you can sign up for in order to avoid having to pay hidden costs. At the same time as making an appointment, I inquired whether I can bring several outfits for my precious daughter. To my disappointment I was informed that this is impossible via the telephone as no extra time will be given beyond this. The very day of photo-session right after all of the photos were done the photographer asked whether I had some other clothes to change my daughter into for extra photos. Obviously I didn't and I was so disappointed since I was informed otherwise via the telephone.



I had a lot more enjoyable experience with the men and women working at JCPenney. I was able to put my son in a lot of clothes combinations. Lady photographer was quite parent-oriented plus she managed to make the best photos. I must simply say that my experience with JCPenney went a lot better than my very 1st experience with Sears.
