Disappointing

Today, Brad and I had our family pictures done. What I wanted was a really nice family picture (like the past 3 years), a picture of each boy, and a picture of Brad and I together. What we got was a whole lot of crap! This is my 1st really poor experience with Sears portrait studio. The lady taking the pictures was not with it at all! She acted as if she was in a huge rush. The picture quality was terrible, and not a single good shot. I am so upset about our whole experience. We did purchase a package that was $139.99. On the computer monitor at Sears, I couldn't really tell how horrible the pictures actually were. Once we arrived home, and I looked at all the different pictures on the CD I saw how bad they truly are. The woman who did the photo-shoot, seemed as if she was rushing us threw picking out our pictures also. I did tell her I wasn't happy with how the family pictures turned out. So, she tried retaking them. The second round of pictures looked better in the store, but at home I noticed they are blurred. Not only that, there is a white speck in the picture. It has been so disappointing. For as much as we paid for these pictures, I expect them to be damn near perfect! I mean, 8 sheets, and one CD for $139.99 + tax is A LOT of money for pictures! Well, another thing I did when we got home was I took some pictures of my boys together. The photographer wouldn't take my advice, as to how to arrange the boys. I do take their pictures all the time, and seem to know what I am doing more then her. The reason I took their pictures was to prove to myself, my camera and my knowledge was better then someone who was supposedly trained to take photo's. Now, I know it's a little different taking pictures at home, where the kids are comfortable, but it is the photographers job to help work with the kids, and get them to smile.

Here's the picture I took. I'm not even wasting my time uploading the Sears pictures. They are horrible!
