Talk about being bamboozled?! This was our first experience with family photos and something I've wanted to do since Isaac was born. I don't remember if I received something in the mail or found something online for a family photo package for $14.99. I made an appointment which I thought would be quicker than going as a walk-in, especially with Isaac to make sure he was well rested. Well, we arrived early for our appointment time and the place was packed. We waited...Isaac napped which was good, for over 30 minutes.
Our name was called, it was our turn, yeah! The photographer placed us in a variety of different poses and we moved through them quickly. In a manner of 10 minutes or what seemed like it, we were finished. Then we had to wait...and wait...and wait some more to review the photos and pick our poses. While we waited, we observed the most indecisive individual. The poor sales associate was in pure agony. Seriously, this guy took over an hour to select a picture to put on a mug. It was actually entertaining to watch. Anyway...it was our turn again. When we first started, the computer screen was pulled up and then the sales associate stepped away, when he did, Frazer decided to expedite the process and fill in our contact details. After watching and hearing the sales pitch several times we immediately cut to the chase and eliminated the need for a detailed review of products we were not interested in. However, what must have been part of the fine print was the number of prints that needed to be selected in order to receive the high resolution digital images on a disc. That's really all we wanted along with a couple of prints.
Let's just call this one a learning experience! I've never seen so many 8 x 10's printed! Well....we have LOTS, and LOTS of prints. :) We certainly spent more than I anticipated and we now have more prints of family photos than we know what to do with. I'm happy with how they turned out and will always cherish our first family photos!
