Target Portrait Studios

My family and I went there early December. To our surprise, they were on schedule despite being so busy. We were 4 minutes late, so we had 11 minutes left in our 15 minutes session. The photographer, Andrew, did a great job getting everyone into a good pose. We were very happy with the quality of the shoot.
One hiccup was that the person who helped us with the Christmas card design submitted an order for the wrong design. They re-​ordered the cards. Since shipping is pretty quick, we should have in time to mail.

If you are looking for a good photo experience, do not come here. Other than the competence of the photographer it was a terrible experience.
First let me say that the photographer, I didn’t get his name, was quite good. With the exception of missing a noticeable lock of my younger son’s hair hanging out over his ear, the pictures were first class.
Everything else was bad. We had a Groupon offer, and we could clearly tell what they thought about that. The staff at the counter was somewhere between rude and dismissive. In addition, the whole process was rushed. Finally, there was a free CD with three of our photos free with the offer. To get any more, you needed to buy all of them on a CD for about $ 80.
As a whole, the experience was not even worth the discounted price.

Not even worthy of a star. First of all, they were an hour behind. I have a 5 month old baby and I timed his feeding and napping around this appointment. Second of all, I could have taken better shots with my camera timer. The photos were crooked, the studio was filthy, they were completely disorganized, the staff was unprofessional and insisted on showing us all of the things we could purchase instead of just letting us buy what our groupon entailed, and it was expensive at that! Go anywhere else or just stay home and do it yourself.

What an experience! Had a Groupon coupon. Didn’t pay much. Got what I paid for. Pictures didn’t turn out. you can’t wait for the right pose, better to do some rapid fire shots. We didn’t like the pictures before we went out to select them. We kept reeling her to do a few at a time b/​c gotta catch good smile on child when he is not expecting it. She wouldn’t listen. In making selections, only one picture that was tolerable. We told the lady to delete some horrible pictures but she refused! Said it’s better to not delete so we had to keep sifting through the garbage to go back to find the needle in the haystack as we decided on frames/​layouts. She kept insisting on pictures and layouts we said absolutely not! Not nice to children either. Needless to say, I won’t be going back.
