DO NOT GO!!! I could write a book after only 20 minutes in her office...after driving 3 hrs each way! There's a day I will never get back! It's a cruddy place, the woman is the total opposite of what any professional company would represent. When we walked in the first door, looking at the ""models"" pictures on the foyer wall, I said to my 11 yr old ""we should turn around now""> But we didn't. Figured we have come all this way, maybe I'm wrong. We went in, she never shook hands, never stood up, never made any introduction. She turned thru pages in sarah's portfolio, and went on about how ""she"" (our daughter), needs to have a lot of makeup put on and lipstick, and her dress is fine....I thought she was joking! She said for $159 (the lowest fee), she would take some pic, and it would go up to $400 something. SHe goes off on really weird tangents too, explaining different kids and bad pictures are taken and professional photographers rip you off....so she pulls out 10 pics 4x6. And was going thru them. I thought these were her examples of poor/bad shots-NO, they were the ones she charges $159 for!!! OMG, poor lighting-if any other than a flash, heavy makeup on young kids, big hair...seriously it looked from back in the 80's! When I said ""no thank you"" to her question of getting the pictures done, she said, ""ok, go"". It was a good lesson to our daughter of what is out there. Please don't get sucked in and even if it's 10 minutes from your house, it's not worth a drive around the block. Don't fall for it. There are other, honest, classy agencies that aren't out there scamming your money!
