Professional Pictures

[Esther]

What's the cheapest place to get professional pictures near Lakewood? There are 5 kids so preferably one that doesn't charge a sitting fee per child.

Target

IIRC Picture People doesn't charge sitting fees.
Jcpenney almost always has 3.99 per sheet coupon on website, + if you will take pictures a few times over the course of 2 years you can buy a membership so no sitting fees (around $30) which is a pretty good value
ETA fixed membership price

But they charge a million dollars for everything else....

Target

I never knew they do pictures, which location?

Hmmm.... the coupons used to waive the sitting fees

Get a 2 year membership only $29.99 and no sitting fees.

Yup. Especially with a family of five...

So seems like no real difference between jcpenney and target, both charge sitting fees but free for members (around $30), both almost always has have $3.99 coupons.
So deciding factor for me is distance, jcpenney is half as far as target for me.
(with such similar pricing, coupons and websites, I wonder if they have the same provider for the portraits)

Try searching Groupon. I remember seeing some good offers. Not specifically Lakewood though.

Red Card 5% discount is a difference (although not super significant)

pidture people charges for everything else alot. but if you become a member for $40 you can instantly save way more than that.  and get free stuff at your next visits

"save way more than that", but your costs will still be way more than target/jcpenney

Don't forget about quality of the pics and attitude of the photographer. Pp usually has very nice staff but I guess it comes at a price.

[kracked dude]

I've always been really happy with the staff and quality of the pictures are Jcpenney, they are really professional and great at getting my kids to smile

Does the old screen grab trick still work at JCP?
