Target Portrait Studios

We made an appt online, we still had an hour wait.
I told the attendant the type of poses I wanted, but they rushed us and did their own thing.
I specifically said, no mom & son and no dad & son– we were still made to pose that way instead of capturing more photos as a family.
I asked for a family picture on a certain background that they had previously used on my son, when I made this request — I felt that it annoyed the staff.
The camera gear went down while we were taking pictures, that was odd.
The attendant at the end was required to take more time even when I told her that I would not buy cards or whatever else she had to create in the portfolio.
Overall, the camera people and attendees were nice but they didn’t listen and wasted more time then needed.

Unfortunately, I was not happy with my experience here. There was a wrinkle in the background of my professional photo session (which I need for a job application), and 17 of the 19 options have this wrinkle next to my face. I called for a refund, and the manager asked me if there isn’t one that I could use without a wrinkle, that there were 17 without it. I double-​checked, and this is not the case. I asked him if for the next session they would steam out the wrinkle, and he said that if he steams it out, it will just get wrinkled again in storage. Then he laughed a bit. He just didn’t seem to take my concern seriously. I don’t want a professional application photo to look like my friends and I just threw up a sheet in my bedroom and took our own shots. Very poor customer service on top of very poor shots.

Wow! If I could give this place negative stars I would. They schedule shoots ten minutes apart. Ten minutes in not sufficient for a family shoot with an infant and toddler. The customer service was horrible as well. My son was not feeling the photographers energy.

I was skeptical about getting photos done at Target since they aren’t exactly a photo studio, but I decided to give it a shot.
I will never doubt Target again. I have the cutest pictures of my two kids and got them at a very reasonable price. The photographer, Andre, was absolutely incredible. He was beyond patient with my rambunctious 4 year old, and very caring with my tiny baby! He made sure we got everything that we wanted and was very professional.
Our photos are excellent. I will definitely use this studio again. I can’t thank Andre enough!
