When my baby was born I was given a coupon for a portrait sitting and a free 8×10 photo and I thought ‘Why not?’ Our baby is so cute that I thought I really should let someone who knows what they are doing behind a camera take some pictures of him too.
I scheduled an appointment with a photographer at JC Penney. Although I wasn’t used to doing this, ‘Tiffany’ instantly made me feel at ease. She was warm and friendly and seemed to have all the time in the world for me and the baby. Even though my little fella didn’t really oblige us with great smiles, Tiffany managed to take some cute shots. There was no pressure for me to buy lots of photos and she advised me to come back when he was sitting up. The next time I went to the studio, Tiffany remembered us and knew exactly what sort of pictures I was looking for. This time we had more success and I wanted to buy a few more of her pictures. It was incredible – each sheet of photos was only $3.99. I bought a few for myself and treated all of my relatives to a picture of my little fella too.
The next time I went back with all 3 children. Tiffany had a colleague with her to help. He was called Wade and he was quite exotic looking but just as personable as Tiffany. He managed to get all the kids looking the same way as she took the pictures. They were quite busy that morning so they gave us coupons for a free sandwich at Chick-Fil-A while they loaded the images onto the computer and enhanced them. When we went back the older kids watched Toy Story while I looked at the pictures. I was really delighted and this time bought a portrait package which had the added feature of ‘pictures by wire’ which meant that family overseas could view and order photos over the internet.
My final challenge for the photographer at the Tyler Texas JC Penney was to take my family and my brother in law’s family for a portrait sitting for Christmas presents for my husband’s mother and grandmother. There were 5 adults, 4 children and a baby to take pictures of. Once again, Tiffany rose to the challenge and took great shots of everyone.
I think the JC Penney store in Tyler has a great crew of photographers. The studio is really accessible and best of all, the prices of the portraits are really affordable. There are more expensive options – different backgrounds, text and collages but if you buy the traditional sheets, one 8×10, two 5×7, four 3×5 or wallets then they are just around $4 each.
I heartily recommend Tiffany and Wade as photographers and JC Penney portrait studio as great value.
