I needed a professional portrait for work, and JCP had the best pricing($ 69 plus $ 10 sitting fee) of all the places I checked. I looked at other walk-in/mall portrait studios as well as private photographers. With the JCP deal, I was able to select 3 high resolution digital images that I could download and save(there’s a less expensive option where you select one digital image to save). This meant not only being able to use it for the announcement for an upcoming speaking engagement, but I have also uploaded the photo to the directory at work and am able to use it for other things as well. I can even have a print made for my mom! There’s an easy on-line reservation system. The day I went, I called because there were no slots open, but they squeezed me in between other shoots within an hour. The woman who took the photos was super friendly and conscientious of the fact that I didn’t want a bunch of photos with a double chin. She took the photos slightly angled from above, which meant no double chin and I look a little thinner. We took most of the shots with a dark background but also switched to white so I’d have some variety. I was quite pleased with the experience. I was in and out of the studio quickly, able to select my three favorite photos after perusing the entire selection(she probably took a dozen photos of me) on a large monitor they have. Within an hour, my top three photos were available for download at high resolution size, and all my photos were available to see on the JCP website. I highly recommend.
