Looking for Someone to Take Portraits of My Daughter

Portrait Innovations at 119th and Metcalf is the BEST!! They are nice, fast, easy and affordable!!

I bought almost 200 photos and they were all ready in 20 minutes! It just cannot get any easier!

I did some portraits of my baby from 3 mo to over a year with a guys in Gardner. His name is John Cash and it's wonderful. The pricing was even super.

You have got to go to Portrait Innovations. They are located on 119th & Metcalf behind The Cheesecake Factory. They do amazing and are great priced. The photographs are shown to you immediately following on a huge flat panel monitor where they can crop, brighten, etc. the photos and then let you pick which ones you want. They will print them and have them to you often in 20 minutes. They are professional portraits, they just have this BIG photo printer that is the size of a semi in the front of the store. :)

Once every 3 months, everyone gets to use the special which is one pose with 1 10x13, 2 8x10, 4 5x7, tons of wallets, greeting cards, and some 3x5's. Check out their website for all info.

We tried them last year for our 1 yr old and went back this year for her 2 yr old pictures and got a family portrait as well. Both times we spent $100 and got more pictures than we knew what to do with and even a CD with all the photographs on them. You can also add on packages of any pose that is 3 sheets. So if you hate wallets, you NEVER have to get wallets. It could be 2 5x7 or 1 8 x10.

Hi Robin,
I have taken my daughter to a few places or her pictures, but I have 1 place that I love & is awesome with kids/babies.
Portrait Innovations. I live up north so I go to the one off of Barry Road; though there may be a place that is closer. Alysah (my daughter) was crawling all over the place & the pictures came out incredible!! They maybe be a little more expensive than say JCPenny but it is worth it. We purchased 7 different poses (with 3 sheets each) and a package that gives you greeting cards for $118 including tax.
Good luck!

I take my son to a woman in Olathe name Erin Little. She does photography out of her home and does a great job. Her website is www.Erinlittlephotography.com - she is really nice and very patient with children. If you decide to use her services, please feel free to mention that L. suggested her. Good Luck!

Hi,
I have always taken my children to Portrait Studio 101 at the Great Mall in Olathe and have loved the service and quality of the pictures. You get them within 1 1/2 hours most of the time unless you have a special order and there are a ton of props to choose from. At Christmas time last year my 3 children all under 4 were not being agreeable with one another and so they took two seperate pics. One with 2 of the kiddos and one with just 1 kiddo and then cropped them together. You couldn't even tell it was two photos, the way they placed them together. I give them an A+ and they are super reasonable and easy to get an appointment with. I actually have never been to Portrait Innovations as many of the moms have, but have had a lot of negative feedback from my neighbors and many of them now are going to Portrait 101.

Hi Robin,

I go to Portrait Innovations. They do a great job and are very patient with little ones. They are located off of 119th and Metcalf in the shopping center by the Cheesecake Factory. The price is reasonable. They have a special where if you buy only one pose, you can get tons of pictures for just $9.95. They throw in a calendar with the picture on it and they also throw in some greeting cards, which you can make your Christmas cards. I believe they give you 10 free greeting cards. If you want more poses, I just recently when there and bought three poses for $75. There were lots of pictures and you get to choose the size pictures you want to buy for each portrait. Call them and make an appointment.

I highly recommend Roland Omoremesi of Banfii Photography. He is located in Johnson County. He photographed our wedding 2 years ago as well as our 5 month old son a few months ago. He is very talented. He has some of the pictures of our son on his blog, entry 3/28/06; http://banfii.iblog.com/. You can see pricing and contact information on his website, http://www.banfiiportraits.com/index1.html. His prices are high but you truly do get quality work.

I go to Portrait Innovations for our sit down basic boring pictures. If I want more art picture-we use Tristan Scott. He is great b/c he will go any where, park, your house, and any time. He takes a load of pictures and you get them all on a CD. He has done our baby announcement pictures, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 17 months. He can make a piece of trash look good in a picture. He has an eye for that stuff.

I found I also really like Portrait Innovations. They take like 100 pics and you choose out of those. There are packages where they will give you a cd of all the pics that they have taken. They are great. That is where I got my daughters pics taken. Another benefit you have your pics within an hour. Mine only took 20 minutes. before.http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g186/sweetmilady/April%...
That link should be to my daughters pics from there.

Believe it or not, my favorite place is Penneys! Many parents' magazines or value mailers have coupons for $3.99 portrait sheets (regular is I think $5.99) with no sitting fee (usually I think $10), and I've been taking my son since he was 4 months old. We started at Target, tried Sears, but Penneys has been the greatest! My MIL bought a portrait club membership for us, so even without coupons, I never have a sitting fee, but if you just look around, you can probably find those coupons. Actually, I probably have one you can have, because I get them all the time. The pictures take 2 weeks to come back, and unfortunately, the photographers are often running behind schedule (Penneys has been drastically understaffing the portrait studios lately), but I still go. Stuart had monthly pictures done his 1st year, then quarterly after that, and we love Penneys. Good luck! If you want that coupon, let me know. I'm in eastern OP.

Portrait Innovations in OP (behind The Cheesecake Factory). They take great pictures, are great with kids (mine are 2 & 5) and they're very affordable!!!

I know of a photographer she is amazing, she has done it for several years but has just recently started doing it professionally, she is awesome, and because she is new she is super afforadable, I have not seen better pics for the money. I am on yahoo at ____@____.com and thats my email too....i have some she has taken of my kids if you want to see references

She does great work. My daughter is in some of her sample pictures the redhead.

I know a great photographer named Dan Frueh (pronounced "Free") who has a studio/gallery down in the Columbus Park district by the River Market in downtown KC. He's very friendly and excellent with children. His own portraits of his little girl (and other children) are amazing, and he's very affordable. If you're willing to go to his studio, I highly recommend him. Call/email him for a quote! ____@____.com or ###-###-####

We had our son's one year pics done at Flash outside of Nordstroms at the Oak Park Mall. They did a fabulous job. You could really see his cute little personality in the pictures and he had a lot of fun doing it. They are a little pricey, but definately worth it.

Hi, my name is M.. I am not a professional photographer, but I take wonderful pictures. I like pics of children in a natural state, not poised or anything in front of a backdrop. I have a wonderful Kodak camera that I am very familiar with (it cost me a little over $600.00). I will send you examples of my work via e-mail or mail. I do believe that Portrait Innovations is awesome, but I also like taking pics of kids doing what they do best or when they are taken outside. I can produce black & white, sepia and enhanced color. I will offer my services for FREE and include a CD as well. If you like them, then let me know and I can help you out in the future, for the holidays or a special occasion. Here is my e-mail. ____@____.com have a great day. M.
