Target Portrait Studios

Have to agree with the other reviewer. Poor Experience. Took my daughter in for 6 month photos. Started out ok. Photographer asked a few questions and we got the little one set up. First round of photos were taken, then we set up a second pose. Photographer then told me that she didn’t get any of the first round of photos,(flash didn’t go off) So we are doing a second round, and my girl tips over and starts to cry. While calming her down, the photographer is setting up for a third pose. We get her calmed down and take the third series. Finally my girl decided that she had enough and we ended the shoot early, so then the photographer said that she didn’t get the third series either.
So the photographer apologized and said she would give a cd of 3 photos for free. We pick the photos, she makes the cd. We get it home, and it doesn’t work. I go back to the store, she makes another Cd, and it still doesn’t work. (Mac issue we think. Took cd to Grampa and were able to get the photos.) At any rate, we are going to book an appointment at Clix. and try to forget that Target has a photo studio.

Horrible! Went there with my family to get pictures of my son and his cousins. My mother tries to get pictures of all the grandkids twice a year. We usually would go to the location in Urbandale but my mother wanted to go to this one because she preferred it. Never again. We arrived a little early and waited for our appointment time. The «photographer» took in all the kids and I went inside with them. She wanted to do them all together first cause she said that that’s usually the harder one for her to do. Ok fine. She put down a couch for them to all sit on and my son would not sit on it. He did not like to be anywhere near the couch and she just stood there looking at me like I was supposed to come up with a solution. After about 10 minutes of trying I kept telling her this wasn’t going to work and to try something else. She just looked at me and said, «Well, I don’t know what you want me to do, should we just do the other kids then?» She then told me to go out and ask my mother what she wanted to do. After I left she had my sister go in and then she proceeded to take photos of just the 3 kids excluding my son completely. She never once came back out to even try to get some photos of him by himself, something my mother had requested along with the group shots. Then when it came time to pick out the picture she did not a single enhancement on any of the photos, even though the coupon my mother had was for enhanced sheets. I will never step foot in another Target Portrait Studio after this experience. It was horrible and the employees are horrible at working with kids and very disrespectful.
