Flash! Digital Photography? Other portrait studios?
I’ve been trying to find a great (mostly inexpensive) portrait studio in the Kansas City area. I have always loved going to JCPenny Portrait, but the past few times it has not been a very good experience when I take my infant niece (I take her once a month until she is a year).
To the point—I like the photos on Flash! Digital Photography, but does anyone know the prices to this place Is it expensive? Price ranges?
Any other portrait studios I should check out?
The problem with department store studios is that they have one setup for everyone and everything. That’s what makes them inexpensive. Normally they have someone who is not a photographer or doesn’t want to be one run the equipment…it’s setup to be pretty much idiot proof.
You could try some of these….
1) Goto a college or photogrpahy school…see if you can find a student who wants to make a little extra money on the side.
2) Work out an arrangement with a pro studio to take your series of pictures…they may cut you a deal, they may not…but it never hurt to ask.
3) Church groups…it sounds weird…but the church I go to is always looking for volunteers to do things like this for needy families and such. You might be able to find a photographer willing to donate time to help you out.
Hope this helps.

the problem is your looking for great and cheap, just as in any other profession the best charge more, cheap is the result of poor quality, cheap professionals do cheap jobs
12 portraits a year for your niece – im not going to comment, except listen to what others around you say about that
unless the childs on growth hormones go to a good studio portrait photographer every six months or so – save money, get better images
