OK, so since my husband is such an amazing photographer, I know that I will NEVER pay for school pictures. Until now I was thinking that it would just save me a lot of money. . .never did I imagine the hideous nature of the picture that would be sent home. They have this ridiculous system that you have to pre-pay for the class photo (which I did), but you post-pay for the individual photos. . .I think it probably hurts them in the end, because honestly, who is going to pay for this crap after they see it? You can 'opt-out' of the individual photo beforehand, or if you don't they'll just send home the whole package to you and you return the pictures that you don't want to buy. Now, I was curious to see what their pictures would look like, so even though I knew I wouldn't be buying, I didn't opt-out either.
Boy am I ever glad I got to see these beauties!!! I have a million things I could say about it, and yet, I am speechless!! Here. . .take a look-see for yourself. . .
And they want $15 for the first sheet!!!!! You can get all 5 for a mere $35!!!!! What a deal!!!
Needless to say, I will allow my children to have their individual photos taken from now on for a few reasons. . .so I can be reminded of what an amazing photographer their dad is, and so I can be thankful I have boat-loads of actually beautiful photos of my children. . .and so we can all have a good laugh!!
