ON portrait studio?

Hello ladies, we have finally moved to Guelph from the states though we are still in the midst of an unpacking nightmare.

Now that we are here I have a question for you as we familiarize ourselves with the area. I had decided to get DS's portraits taken every month and had his NB, 1, and 2 month pics taken at JCPenneys, which you don't have here. Three months are comming up and I've thought I may go to Sears and have also had a recommendation for Zehrs.

So, what portrait studio do you recommend? Have you used either of these studios or any other not mentioned? And if you don't mind sharing prices that would be awesome. For example JCP was $3.99 per sheet with a coupon.

Thank ladies!

  • Walmart has a photostudio as well. I have no clue about pricing though. Friends of mine had pictures done at Sears with their DD and had a good experience.

    Good luck with the unpacking. I so do not envy you.

  • First of all, welcome to Canada!!!

    I think that Sears does nicer pictures of babies and toddlers. That is where we have had the majority of DS's pictures done over the last 3 years.  Walmart tends to be a bit cheaper but the staff are not always great at arranging poses( DH had to pose DS at our last photo shoot there).

  • We are in the middle of choosing a place for pictures as well. I have seen pics taken at Zehrs/Superstore/Loblaws (all the same place) and they were really cute. The mom told me that they were great to deal with as well.

    Here is some extra info (http://www.zehrs.ca/5430.aspx)

  • Hope your move went well!

    Sears will end up costing you a fair bit more than any of the other places named here. There's a $15.99 sitting fee, and then their packages start around $100 or you can buy sheets at about $9 each. I was going to go to Sears until I realized I probably wouldn't get out of there spending less than $100. I'm going to try the Real Canadian Superstore when I get around to it.

    Ouch! The states has Sears as well but they have coupons that bring the price way down. Thanks for the warning. I cannot be spending $100 a month.

    I hope to get some Zehrs/Superstore reviews.

  • Another idea would be to talk to someone trying to build their portfolio and see if they would be interested in doing a few shots each month. I know a few photographers in the area if you are interested I could always ask if any are interested.

    That could be cool too.

  • I had family pictures done at Zehrs that were really reasonably priced and we were really happy with them.  There weren't any kids, so I can't really comment on that, but they were professional and really well priced.  The baby pictures we saw on display were really great.
  • I will send out an email tomorrow and see if there is anyone interested.
