Where to get cheap X-Mas pics done ASAP!

**kettlecorn** · 12-19-2007, 11:16 PM

So obviously I am way behind on getting the pics done? Any ideas on cheap places? I know Sears has $9.99 packages but if you arent in the Smile Saver program I guess you have to pay a sitting fee as well? Would it be better to go to Kiddie Kandids or Portrait Innovations? Or would somewhere like Target be better? I dont mind JCP but the closest pic. studio is 45 mins away and that would be one trip to get the pics done and one trip picking them up. Any advice would be great. thanks!

Do you have a digital camera? Take them yourself, then send them to Walgreens.com, get reprints for .19 and up, they are ready in an hour.

Most places will charge a sitting fee unless you buy a saver or a plan or card (whatever they call it it is all the same no sitting fee if you buy it).

At this date I would find one of those 1 hour palces in the mall, they do a great job and if you can get in for a sitting (they must be super busy right now) they will be ready in an hour. They aren't as cheap as the walmart/target packages but they also aren't that much more expensive.
Here we have the Picture People and they do awesome pictures!

I personally will never use Picture People again. I had the worst service of my life there.

I have always used Sears or JC Penny, both of which are awesome.

I have heard awesome things about Portrait Innovations too.

i took pics of my kids with my digital camera this year, went to walmart, put the pic in a 4x8 and made it a season greeting card. You can use a normal camera pic of your own.
