Portrait Innovations

came to take family photos and use the opportunity to tell our family we were pregnant… photographer brittany was great and took our ideas on poses and improved them to be truly special and memorable…

This studio lacks professionals! I went with my daughter to have my three month old grandson’s pictures taken! We arrived on time and put the baby in his outfit! We were the only clients there with four staff members sitting around! One was knitting, one was texting and two others were discussing their tax returns. We told them we were ready and then waited for them to finish their discussion. By the time we got to the photography session, the baby was cranky, the positions they put him in uncomfortable and the pictures only so so! Not happy!

Worst picture taking experience I have ever had! From start to finish. The person that checked me in was so rude, very nasty! We had been waiting and some one came in after us and was waited on before us and were told there appt. was before ours. The photographer was rushing and a lot of the pictures were not good. We were rushed through picking the pictures. The whole process was a mess! Do not go here if you want a good picture taking process. WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE!

If you’re a stickler about time, I’ll give you your warning now! We arrived 15 minutes before our appointment just to wait another 30 minutes to take our pictures so, a total wait time of 45 minutes! Actually, we’re still waiting. If they would have kept us updated while waiting, I wouldn’t be too upset but, instead we have to get updates from them on why we were waiting so long only to get excuses from the photographer blah blah blah. The actual photo session was perfect! The photographer was nice and energetic.

We scheduled an appointment for 8:50 am and arrived on time. Unfortunately the word «appointment» means nothing here.
They let two other families in front of us who showed up early and decided to «bump» us and told us when we arrived.
Complete failure. Hire someone with integrity.
Avoid this company at all costs.

This place is the worst! First of all, our pictures turned out pretty terrible. The photographer kept forcing us in to these uncomfortable, unnatural poses. Then she continuously shrieked and squeeled at my son, I guess in a way she thought would make him laugh? But instead he just turned out looking confused and frightened in the majority of the pictures. Then, despite insisting that we just wanted to order individual prints of the photos we liked, they would not let us and kept telling us over and over how the package was the better deal… which maybe technically it was, but when my mother (who was paying) finally caved and agreed to the package, that meant we ended up with tons of pictures we DON’T want (including the sheets with their «artistic» effects, which are totally terrible and dated looking) and very few of the pictures we actually liked. We just wanted out of there, so my mother paid and we gave an address to ship them to and were assured they would be sent there… nope, turns out they are waiting for us back at the studio. Ugh, I would give 0 stars if I could.

This is the 2^nd time I’ve been to this studio. Staff is nice. There are couches & chairs to sit on while you wait. There is a table to play with blocks on that the kids all love. Very kid friendly. My 21 month old was climbing all over everything!

With this review, I am in between two and three stars. My fiancé and I arrived ten minuetes late to our appointment, which wasn’t an issue. We went for first birthday pictures on a Saturday mid-​afternoon and it was quite busy. The photographer that took our pictures did an excellent job and they turned out great! The downside: their network was down, so we did NOT get our pictures that same day. It wasn’t until a few days later that they were ready. Also, upon reviewing the poses, they tell you one price then when it is time to pay, you end up paying more than what they said. I ended up erasing half of the poses that I wanted because otherwise, it would have been nearly $ 500! I understand their location is in an upscale neighborhood, but come on.
Would I go back, most likely yes. However, they need to be more upfront about their prices.

Not bad for fast portraits. Reasonably priced not too crowded.

I made my appointment at the end of the week and got an appointment for Tuesday. My 2 ½ year old picked out this beautiful dress to wear. In the pass she hasn’t cooperated with the photographer they all seem to speak baby talk to her which she doesn’t like. So I knew exactly what I wanted full body shots of her being herself in this beautiful dress. The photographer would not listen to me. She kept putting my kid in poses that she didn’t like. When it was time to look at the pics she wouldn’t listen again. The pictures came out OK. The only good thing about this place is the pictures are ready in about 30 to 40 minutes.

After my son’s portrait session fell through elsewhere (had him dressed and ready to go), I called Portrait Innovations and they got us in right away! Our appointment time was accurate, the waiting room was not at all crowded; there were about 4 other families/​children there. I didn’t feel rushed one bit when it came to the picture selection process. It’s hard to narrow down 80 pictures of your child (who you think is perfect in every picture) to a reasonable package amount.
The photographer was a bit of a dud, personality-​wise, but otherwise I thought he did really well with my 5 month old. The photog was efficient and sensitive in finding comfortable and cute ways to pose my son. At 5 months, he wasn’t able to sit independently yet, so we had to be creative with positioning.
Within an hour, my pictures were ready to pick up, and I was more than pleased. This was 3 months ago, and I still have TONS of pictures to give away.
Great quality! Nice folks! Sweet (maybe a little shy) photographers!

This is a «Photography Studio». The photos are relatively cheap and fairly decent quality, but overall it is not worth it and here is why…
I arrive with 2 –year-​old in tow, 10 minutes late for our 3.30pm appt. The 16-​year-​old who checks me in states «we are about ½ hour behind». I should have gotten a clue by looking around — wall-​to-​wall people, no where to sit, kids bouncing off the walls…1 hour and 15 minutes later we are finally called in to take the photos. By then, we are both exasperated & cranky, not in the mood for smiling:)
When I questioned the wait, I was offered a free calendar and told that Saturdays are hectic!
