I can't answer the portrait innovations part because I've never even heard of that place. But we go to Sears Portrait and I generally only buy the $9.99 package. I don't ever feel bad about it mostly because I worked at a Sears Portrait Studio for a while and they're really into upselling. I'm not saying that your baby isn't cute or that the pictures aren't adorable, but we were trained to really overly praise every single shot (seriously, they had cheat sheets of phrases like "That is the absolute best smile" and "She just looks like she has a secret there"). And they wouldn't offer a package that low if they weren't still making money off of it.

Just had my grandkids done there for easter. I would never go back! My appointment was for 5:00 and we never got pics taken until 6:00. Then we never got out of there until almost 8:00! They start out showing you the $699.00 package. I told them I was not interested to go right to the cheaper ones, but she was stubborn. I ended up with the $135.00 Package and the $14.99 package. Thank goodness the little one were so good, unlike some of the children in there. We had a 5 yr old , 2 1/2, and 1 year olds. Next time I will go to Sears or Penneys. I thought we would be in and out by 6:00 or 6:30 at the latest, and then we would go out to dinner. They were starving by the time they got to eat after 8:00. She said they had two photographers, but one two were taking pictures. (the other girl was much quicker with her people)

It actually cost about $80 for them to do that photo shoot for you, so when you just buy the 9.99 special they loose 70 dolors. I think that special is just to get people in there that have never heard of it. So they do try to talk you into buying more so they can actually make money. To spend $100 for the service they do for you is totaly worth it and you get a lot of great photos. Also if the person that works there cant meet a certain average then they probably wont be around very long. Go to Kinkos and try to get 10 color copy's and see how much that cost you...

I have and i love them! Its like their trained just for kids. They take about 70-80 pics of your child and you choose which one you want for your package. and IF you want to buy more than you can get them for 15 dollars.
