D.N.
A friend went to Jc Penney and they were okay but she wasn't happy with the person taking the photos. She said she really didn't try very hard. I used to go to Sears and you can usually get a coupon in the paper. I think both have sitting fees though. My cousin went to Walmart and she was very happy with the results, though I think it depends on who is running it because the one by my house is debatable. They don't seem to try very hard to get the best and when I watched it was pretty much, "okay baby, look here", (snap). I would go to some of the stores and see how they are when taking pictures. You should be able to gauge it. Other places are Babies R Us and mall spots but they can cost. I take my own pics now and go on Shutterfly to get prints for regular stuff. They have special effects and backgrounds you can choose--though for Christmas and such I do plan to go somewhere. I plan to visit places and call around to see how responsive the person is to questions and such.
