This will be my 3rd or 4th year going there. I love it. They have caught some very memorable unposed pictures. These are the best. The package is 9.95 and you get 40 pictures with that. It is well worth every penny that we spend even the extra!

I have made my sons 4 month picture appointment there. They said the price was 16.50 per collection. And, there are 3 sheets per collection. I figured that wasn’t too bad!

I’ve always been pleased with the Portrait Innovations (PI) in our area. I have not gone anywhere else with my 4 children in the last 3 years. We’ve used Picture People and Sears but PI is our favorite. You can only get one of those $9.99 deals per family per promotional period, so be prepared to pay more for a second child. It’s worth it, though.

Just landed on your blog – thank you for this info. We are planning to try PI. Can you get the 9.95 deal for 2 pics? I have 2 kids -would I be able to get a package for both kids or need to get it with both in the same pic? Do you know prices for extra sheets or to purchase a cd to print from?

I’ve gone there three times with my kids. The picture are always cute and I love that they are printed the same day.

Here’s my problem, every other person’s pictures I look at from there, are of the extact same poses. Where’s the innovation and creativity that they talk about on the website.

Just a heads up for anyone going in. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind and tell them what you want out of the pictures or different poses to do.

Hi, there. It does sound like a great deal and the pictures are cute. But, being a photographer, I feel as if factory studios are just that, factory. I want to know my clients by name and have them come back to me. You will always get the same lighting at a studio like this. Being a mom, I understand that being unique is fun too. Just for thought.

Not be be nitpicky or anything, but I would like to make one minor correction.
In the second paragraph, about midway through, the author says, “they cannot accomodate up to 40 people in one photo”. This is a minor typo, she ment to say they can accommodate up to 40 people. In fact many of our studios have a photo on the wall with 42 people many of whom are younger children, and I’ve seen a session with 47 adults at the studio I work for. As you can see, Portrait Innovations’ studios are spacious enough for your whole family, or your active, all-over-the-place little-ones.

I agree…this is the best place to go! We went for my daughter’s six month photos and we’re taking her back for Christmas pictures. The only problem is I just couldn’t decide which ones NOT to get!

Your pictures are great! My friend also recommended this place. We also had a bad experience before(jcpenney). We went for our first pics with our daughter(in that same ducky dress!). She took ONE photo and missed many opportunities to take more. She replied “Your daughter doesn’t smile”. Actually, she smiles all day long. We walked out.
Thanks for the tip on this place and what a great package price. I am going there.

Our family has used them for two years now. They are awesome! Plus, if you buy a certain amount you get ALL the photos taken on a CD. Great deal!
