I don't know how other people feel, but I just had my daughter's Easter/Spring pictures taken at Portrait Innovations in Plano. She is 17 months and they did a wonderful job getting her to smile. There were quite a few young children there (under the age of 3) and all of the pictures that I saw were great!! In fact, one little boy was having his one year pictures made with a real cake that he dug into as some of the shots.
We also had our family pictures taken there at Christmas with a different photographer. Great results then too! The cool thing about this studio is that you can look at your proofs right away and get them within 30 minutes or so. You might be worried about the quality, but they are just as good as any other studio.
Hope this helps.
