Kiddie Kandids

«meh.» Pretty much says it all. I realize it’s hard to take pictures of a baby. But you know what? That’s your job, so you should have a few tricks up your sleeve. AND with digital photography, it’s not like you’re wasting film, so maybe you could try a little harder.
I brought my daughter (6 weeks old) in for pictures recently. The photographer set up the backgrounds, positioned her snapped some pictures… did a few changes, etc. When It came time to select the pictures for the package, I was not very impressed with what came out. There were 2 shots that were cute, the rest were nothing special at all.
The sales person who was «helping» me select my pictures was about as helpful as a telephone pole. She just kept pulling up one picture after another, maybe adding a stupid border around it or something, when they clearly weren’t good shots AND I had previously said that I didn’t like the shot. She didn’t seem to have an eye for what she was doing. If I wanted Wal-​Mart quality, I would have gone to Wal-​Mart and spent $ 9.99. I’ve actually used Wal-​Mart before and gotten decent pictures. But, for the money I spent at Kiddie Kandids ($ 80) I would have liked to have more options.
