That is Savanna pictures from Walmart. They turned out cuter then I thought but I still think I can take better pics of course. They even tried to sell me more when i went to pick these ones up. And i was a sucker but im glad i bought the extra one im gonna get frames ad give one to each grandma for christmas. So anyone else got stories of being suckered into buying something they didnt intend to buy? Oh and isnt her dress adorable?

Same thing happened to my daughter when she and I took my grandson for his first photography "session" when he was a baby. They pull you in with a cheap package and they take extra shots and that is where they get you with the other cute pictures with different backgrounds and or poses. I think she and I went in together and spent over 100.00 for his one and only picture package like that. From then on it was only pictures we took of him or his pictures from day care then in school. She looks so cute in her holiday dress. Your mom and dad picked out a beautiful little dress for her. I am glad we got to see it on her.

Well im a cheapskate as i only spent $30.00 in total. But then again most the pictures they took were awful as she was very crabby that day. I know I love the dress me and my mom actually picked this one as dad wasnt feeling in the shopping mood that day.

Stores are always trying to increase their money by getting us to spend more money. The pictures are great. She is really cute.

Hello dear Grandpa Bob and minnie. So nice to see you in the conversation. Savanna is so cute with the pretty dress on her. I guess that little Savanna is about three months old? Well, I still remember that I once talked about my sister-in-law who was also giving birth to a baby in one of minnie's discussions. Now I am very happy to let you know that she gave birth to her baby on Oct 4th and he is now two months old. I have not seen him in person as I am not close to them, but I will be able to see the baby when our winter holiday comes and after I get to my hometown. I am getting excited to see the baby. Merry Christmas to you, friends.

I had the same type of thing happen when one of the portrait companies was doing a special on their old fashion style portraits. They caught me by surprise and before I knew it I was agreeing to having the family portrait done. But I'm so glad I did because they are absolutely wonderful. And Miss Savannah looks absolutely adorable in her dress. You choose her wardrobe well mom.

Yes this happens all the time. My daughter has had her two kids pictures done and it's the same no matter where you go. Sears and Walmart are the two places she has gone and same thing as you said, they come up with all kinds of great poses. It's like HELLO how do you not like the pictures it's your kids, so naturally you do get sucked in. I've said so many times but Savanna is such a precious angel!!!

Aww, great pic :) She's a cutie and I love the dress!! I'm often suckered into things ;) I am one of those people who almost always does the impulse buys - you know the things at the front register. I say "hey, it's only a dollar!" BUT I will say I can't be suckered into things I truly don't need or want. Having extra pics, in your case, was something that you probably sort of wanted. Or buying the 1$ lotion I bought yesterday was something I can certainly use (and it was only 1$!) But if the store is really trying to push me into something I don't want or need, they will get NO NO NO. Even if they start to convince me, I'll still say NO b/c I hate being pushed. So as a simple response to your question - I can be a sucker only if I really think the item is worth it, but don't try to pressure me if I say NO!

Aww, that's cute! How old is Savanna? Two to three months old? I didn't even know Walmart had a photography studio, heheheh. . How many pictures did you end up buying? You are right, when we get our pictures done we always buy them---a lot of them, too! Pictures are very nice to have. I'm sure Grandpa Bob, and Mrs Grandma will be happy with those pictures. That dress is pretty, too. Yes, there have been times when the sale's associate "up sold" us such as insurance on our laptop, which I think wasn't necessary to get. However it's nice to have it. They paid for it when our fan messed up. Have a nice day. Pablo

That picture is cute, in fact the picture of a new born with her mom is always cute. Baby's snaps always bring joy to you and you feel very relaxed if you see that snap at your bedroom. That will make your day.

Oh your baby is soooo sweeet... I remembered when my kids were still babies, I would get anything for them, even if it's the last cent that I have. I could have been a sucker but it's worth it... I guess, that's how you feel when you had been in Walmart. :)

[i]Hi minnie, She is very lovely and cute, hmmm.....a future model! Thanks for sharing...The dress is perfect also for her beauty! I always end up buying things which I don't intend too but I am tempted all the time! That is why I tried to avoid talking to any sales representative when I am in the store! lOL![/i]

Those sales reps are like vultures they attack the second you walk inb the door makes it hard to avoid.

Aw, that dress is too cute and Savanna is even cuter wearing it. I haven't been suckered into buying something I hadn't intended to buy, not lately anyway LOL, but I did pay more than I wanted to with my intended purchase! It was worth the extra cost though!

Those types of places have always gotten more from me than I planned on getting. I have to agree that we can take just as good of pictures especially having digital cameras.

Hi minnie! She came out adorable! Love the Christmas dress! Your Dad showed us it when they bought it! Nope! You weren't suckered! It's her first professional pictures and you should have as many as possible! Everyone is going to want them so you may as well get them! She really came out cute! You can never have too many pictures of her because she is already growing so fast! Everytime I see a new picture of her I see changes in her! So enjoy the pictures! It will always give you something to look back on when she is older! And the dress is just precious!
