Clix Portrait Studio in Allen

I too have had the same bad experiences with Port. Innov. I have loved them in the past and enjoy their awesome prices, however, I have dreaded my last several visits. I have 3 kiddos and do monthly pics through their first year. My youngest is 10 mo. I went to Clix for Christmas pics b/c I had a coupon. If I hadn't had the coupon, it would have been quite a bit more than Port. Innov. I can't remember exactly how much. They can do more with the pictures though (touching up, backgrounds, etc..), which is nice. Overall, it was a better experience which may be worth the money.

On a side note-
if you plan to bring other kids, their play area is not as big and you can't see it from the photo rooms.

I don't know anything about Clix Portrait Studio, but I have used Target in Richardson/Plano - Campbell & Coit. They did a great job on my daughter (8 mo), not so great on my son (3 yr). He did have a few good shots, but not as many as my daughter. He is definitely at that age right now though. We have also had extended family pictures taken there. I really like the price - $3.99/sheet and NO sitting fees. If you do the editing/composites or other things, it is more, but the basic sheets are $3.99 ea.

I also like the Babies R Us in Plano (Preston & Park). I did all of my son's baby pictures there, and they always did a great job with kids.

Good luck,

I tried them whent hey first opened. I personally think their pricing was ridicolous! It seemed very high. I normally use portrait innovations for special occassions. I have pictures done every month for the first year of my little ones lives so I try to use cheap places for those. For my first son I used sears...they always have a 9.99 package but lousy photographers. With my 2nd, I used target alot. They did a pretty good job and decent prices, but you have to wait 2 weeks to pick up. I would not suggest Clix, though. Good luck!

We went there not long after they opened for our Christmas photos. I was very happy with our pictures. Our photographer has a child about my daughter's age so he was really fantastic with her. I think the pricing for the amount of photos that I got was pretty reasonable too. I was able to get the cd and do my Christmas cards from Snapfish too which is something I was not able to do at Portrait Innovations. Also, Clix had several backgrounds and props to choose from for our pics. We went to Portrait Innovations 3 years ago and when I called this year they were still using the same background for Christmas pics. Boring!
PM me with your email address and I can show you a couple shots.
