Oh my goodness....in general, these places do "decent' photos for a good price. But Patrick....words cannot describe him. He is so wonderful with kids. I was very sad to move away. (Shoot, it might be worth it to drive 2 hours.) He always had great ideas. He was the ONLY stranger who could get my youngest to SMILE in her photos. (Her nickname was "serious baby.")
One year for Christmas photos, we were joking around & he took a photo with himself in the picture with my kids. We printed one out just for me & I sent it out to people with the caption, "Our newest family member." Seriously, I think he was older than me, but I'd have taken him in!
He really relates well to kids & jokes around with him. My kids (very young at the time) loved that he called them "girlfriend," like, "Okay, girlfriend, you come over here...." Cracked me up.

The store manager is really good in making baby smile/laugh, but kind of bossy (means you really don't have much control of what prop you like to have)

They often send out coupons which allow you to purchase packages for as little as $5.00 with no sitting fee. Patrick is a great photographer and really good with kids.
