She would run back and forth between Aaron and I in her version of a hugging game. The problem with this is that mommy was on one side, daddy on the other, and the red spot was on neither side. Because not only did she want Cordy to sit down, she wanted her to sit on a small red spot on the floor! If Cordy wasn’t in the general area of the magic red spot, she would not even attempt a picture. However, the photographer was also lacking in creativity – you know, the one trait a good photographer should possess. Apparently JC Penney can’t handle taking pictures of toddlers who stand up. I peeked in to see the photographer sitting on the floor with her camera, and Aaron trying to convince Cordelia to sit down. When I arrived a little after 2pm, they had just gone into the photography room. He was trying to keep her entertained, or well, at least trying to keep her contained in the waiting area. It seems having an appointment doesn’t guarantee quick service. I called when my interview was over (about 1:45), and he said they were still waiting. I left after lunch, and Aaron ran Cordy in the mall play area for awhile. We had other plans for the day as well, so we figured it would be a quick session, a few cute pics, and then be on our way. I had an interview at 12:30, and hoped to be back with Aaron and Cordy by 1:30. go first if there’s a crowd, so we thought it best to eat lunch, then come back. We arrived there at 11:45 and decided to make an appt. Free 8×10, free sitting fee, and $3.99 portrait sheets. (Although now they could be considered vintage, I guess.)īut Sears has been stingy with the coupons lately, and JC Penney had a good coupon, so we tried them today. Now they use plain white gauze, solid black, and props that weren’t first used in the 70’s. No longer are you limited to the light blue with wispy clouds or the mottled brown background. Plus, in the past few years they’ve made some enormous improvements to their backgrounds and props. They’re generally inexpensive, and the one near us usually has excellent photographers who are patient and creative with our stubborn child. We had fancy pictures done once, and were quite happy with them, but unwilling to pay over a hundred dollars again for pictures. In the past, we’ve taken Cordy to Sears for pictures. More specifically: JC Penney portrait studio. And today I got to delve into the dark, dusty, evil world of portrait studios. But truly bad customer service really gets on my nerves. I don’t mind the occasionally delay or slightly off customer service.
