jcp portraits

Shame on me for doing portraits here. I don’t shop here so it is weird I would go for portraits, but I was in a rush to get new born photos before the holidays and going back to work. The location was a zoo, we had to wait over 30 minutes after our appt time for our sitting. Seemed very amateurish and props were old and cheesy. All of this was fine because it was the holidays, cheap and last minute. But now I want to have the photos I already paid for shipped to me and jcp wants me to send them a prepaid envelope to ship them in! I offered to give them a credit card to charge for shipping but they wouldn’t do it! So weird. Mind you this is for maybe 5 photo sheets– they could throw them in an envelope with a couple stamps. Next time I will plan ahead and pay a bit more for a professional. Ps: they charge $ 70 for a cd with 3 pictures on it! That’s way too much!

We didn’t had a good experience during the new born photo shoot. Photographer there didn’t guide us properly while taking photos. basic things fingers needs to close together, smile during clicking. etc were totally missed. she was busy getting her 20 pic count to get 150 $ price for the CD rather than guiding if the pic came out good or not.
With new born parents are focusing to make sure baby is held securely etc. so its duty of photographer to guide us in all ways.
When we saw the final compilation of pics. we were shocked to see just 2 out of 20 were good. They spent more time after photo shoot explaining different deals to get more money. Ahh. so confusing. thanks to hidden rates.
One advice. give more effort on taking better pics. rather than getting more $ .
I will never visit this place again. I would have done better job with my camera.
