NEVER AGAIN!
We had Christmas pictures taken and they came out horrendous. I messaged customer service and no response back till this day.
We spend over $200 on pictures that cant even be used. and to top it off, one of our dogs is the reason we had a family portrait taken as he had cancer and did not know how much longer we had with him.
He passed at 6 years old on 1/13/25. So please I will never go and waste my hard earned money on The Picture People ever AGAIN!
User's recommendation: Go someone else.

Verified Reviewer |Service at Perry Hall MD
Very disappointed in this year's service and pictures. Most of the pictures are on a white screen, which is too jarring with their outfits.
Only a handful of pics with an actual background. Green screen images weren't included in downloads, which we've gotten in past years. It's nice to use them as phone and computer backgrounds. Most of the pictures don't have the kids looking at the camera.
There's not an equal number of pictures of each kid.
Some of the 5x7 pics are not the right size, and we were shorted the gift tags that came with the package. Besides the fact that the whole process took more than two hours, it was the worst picture experience we've had, for the exorbitant cost of $400.
- Clear printed photos various sizes
- Never mentioned extra charges for green screen photos on flash drive and did not receive gift tags which were part of the package
Preferred solution: All photos taken on flash drive
User's recommendation: Be active in the photos make suggestions and check hair and outfits.before each shot. They do not check hair out os place or dress folded

Verified Buyer |Bad costumer service
Hello, the reason for trying to communicate is because this day I felt very bad with the service, I felt despised, discriminated against with the treatment I received from the Lady who attended to me, I arrived at the place and she had a person who looked like her friend, While she was taking photos of my baby she was talking to other person, it was uncomfortable, she scolded my mother because she thought she was taking photos from my cell phone which was not true and my mother is a 60 year old woman who suffers from anxiety and she did this in front of her friend, in the end I verified it since the other person bought from the person who take the pictures Wetzel Pretzel and a drink and then she asked to use the bathroom of picture people something that a normal client would not be allowed, all during my photo session, first she choose the theme of the photos, I informed her that I wanted the Easter theme, for which she chose the background without consulting me. My baby is 9 months old.
That day, he turned 9 months He started crawling. He did it towards her and tried to touch the camera.
which she scolded him saying no no no the camera my baby got scared and didn't smile anymore even though she tried to do everything possible then with the pictures the quality send in the email put the watermark of picture people in one of the eggs of the theme this is unbelievable, I think Im the corner but in the egg, I bought another sheet of 8 wallets I ask for she to cut if was possible she said no, also I ask for more brightness and was also a no, please I need someone to help me Im a costumer for many years and this experience is unacceptable and uncomfortable. Thank you

Unprofessionalism
The customer service representative from this branch reached out to verify the appointment. Unfortunately, her approach was highly inappropriate, aggressive, and included intimidating comments during our interaction. I have decided not to proceed with my reservation and insist that this representative is promptly dismissed due to their severe lack of professionalism.
Preferred solution: Apology
They're charging me for retakes
Theyre charging me for retakes. I shouldnt pay for retakes since Im not satisfied with the pictures. Shouldnt it be 100% satisfaction ?
Preferred solution: I want to do retakes
Unhappy rude service pictures not professional
First of all, I went there, and I stood for like almost 2 hours to be told when I ask how much longer all about 45 more minutes theyre picking pictures then they had to decide they ask that I have an appointment I said no I called and they said would you speak to Orrante no but I called and he said I had till 720 thats when you close. I was here at 5 oclock again they H other than they put me down as the last appointment there none of my pictures look professional at all and I never get my grandson so Ill never get those memories back so I pay for the pictures but Im not happy so I think I was just like a full refund and give the pictures back.
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Refund an return pics
Terrible photo session
The photographer wouldnt let us even speak. We had a simple clear idea of what we wanted but would not do it.
She kept talking over us. Then took less than the number of photos guaranteed in the digital package.
User's recommendation: Don’t go.

Verified Reviewer |Poor lighting in photos
Photographer did not seem experienced with different poses & definitely not lighting. Shadows over her face & halos across top of other pics.
Another associate has just arrived when we were waiting for our pics and without introducing herself, she just sent my daughters pics to the computer closest to me & started playing them. Zero communication, zero sales attempt and zero conversation.
I told her I wanted to just purchase the CD of images and without even getting a single print it was over $200. Ridiculous for the experience
Preferred solution: photos retouched
User's recommendation: ask for an experienced photographer

Why wouldn’t an email of pics have a watermark on them to prevent illegal reproduction? Also you are disgusting for claiming discrimination.
There absolutely wasn’t any. You sound like a horrible person.
