Magenta Photo Studio

Came here for a passport photo for my daughter, since they were unwilling to do it for me across the road, which would have saved me $ 5, and the hassle of going through the mall.
They had the exact setup as the place across the road, took them all of five minutes to get a shot they felt would be accepted at the passport office, they also have a guarantee if your application is declined due to the photo, it’ll be taken again at no cost.
We wandered though the newly opened section of the mall, when we came back our pictures were ready. I only knocked off a star due to the $ 5 jack up in price

We did a photo shoot at magenta with our little baby using the special offer that was going on– $ 50 for a session and you get one 8×10 print and one digital. Buyers beware that this is a way to get customers in. Once you’re in, they will upsell you every offer they have. The photo session itself lasted 45 minutes. But the before and after the session altogether took us about 2 hours totally. People might mistake the photographers for being friendly but really they are marketers selling the various products and services of the studio. The photographer went on and on and on just offering us so many products. We finally got roped in because they took pics with so many different backgrounds that made it hard to choose and of course, with baby pics, they know that parents will spend a ton of money. It was a total waste of time. She also offered us an appointment if we would like to come in later to choose additional pictures BUT the appointment costs $ 25 she informed us. Ridiculous!!! Who charges for an appointment! We went in hoping to pay $ 50 for a photo session and ended up spending $ 200 for copyright fees. The photographer took more than 250 pics but we could only afford two because each pic’s copyright was $ 60. Be careful of this place! It seems like a scam! I would never go in there again!

Had a good session here. I used a groupon with every intention of buying more than the offer. Really tho, ur saving $ 16 because they offer the same package deal for $ 65. I tend to forget how bloody expensive it is to have prints done at a studio. Even a CD with the prints will set you back a lot of money. We ended up buying a canvass and a mosaic framed print. I guess I could’ve just paid the $ 1000+ for the prints I liked with a high resolution CD and ordered a canvass and mosaic framed print off the Internet for cheaper. Oh well. The photographer took time to go over our order for us and they were very nice with my baby. We ended up getting some really nice shots! In the end I’m happy. I hope the mosaic print turns out how I want it to be.
