I would suggest waiting another month or two to see if they offer the CD on sale. Right before Thanksgiving there was a coupon for a $49.99 CD (I think they were originally $150). Your online album shouldn't expire for a bit...I think it's 90 days? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284183 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:25:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 1284183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>such a handsome dude. My mantra when it comes to things like this is: don't create regret in the future. So try and feel out if you'd regret it in the future if you didn't pay for it! try and think about what you'd use it for... and if you see yourself kicking yourself for not having the digital file for that print you'll need in a year or two. </p> <p>This is why we always order school pictures!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284130 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:10:58 +0000 Alivoo01 1284130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as the price tag stings, if you love the picture, I say go for it. You can't recapture that moment/time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284084 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:59:25 +0000 mrskc 1284084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get it if you really love the pic! Right now it seems expensive but years down the road you'll forget about the price and cherish the photo. ETA: He is so cute! It's a great pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284076 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:57:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1284076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: Your pictures are really good but I would splurge on the smile one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284067 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:56:30 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1284067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW, an 8x 10 from the portrait studio is 14 flipping dollars. Vs Walmart or Snapfish I think it may be 1.80$. So even getting a few of the prints quickly becomes more expensive than the CD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284056 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:52:48 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1284056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the pic. I could use it for Christmas stuff. But then again, the other two I put beneath are ones I took and and I think they look just as good, so I don't know! The target one is just so cute because he looks like a proper little boy, I can't take it! Plus it is hard for me to get him to smile when I am behind the camera, as you can see.</p> <p>[attach=2900/13/mxws80.524x567.tarjayport.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2900/13/mxws83.400x600.Thanksgiving-2013-074.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=2900/13/mxws86.400x600.September-184.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284039 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:49:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1284039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid $80 for a studio CD once. It had several occasions on there (baptism dress, first birthday and cake smash) so it was easier to just print myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284031 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:48:00 +0000 cascademom 1284031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others. If you like the picture, it's worth it. I remember thinking it was crazy to spend $300 for 10 newborn pics from the hospital, but we didn't do a newborn session, so it was money well spent. I have those newborn pics around the house and used it in my birth announcements, so worth it to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1284006 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:40:37 +0000 lilyann 1284006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to put a price on good photos (as hard as that is) because I know that good pictures of a baby/toddler are hard to come by and they will be cherished for years. I still look through my baby pictures as an adult and am grateful to have them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1283996 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:37:59 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1283996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I'm leaning toward it...!</p> <p>I'm wondering if there's any way to save some money on this. Like, if Target usually runs a post-Christmas sale or anything. I noticed that they did a black friday discount that could be redeemed for the disc, but not sure how common that is at other times of the year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1283984 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:34:59 +0000 birdofafeather 1283984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you love the photos then $69 is worth it. I'm also a photographer and I value images! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-conned-into-spending-a-trillion-dollars-on-three-photos-from-tarjay#post-1283823 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:56:02 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1283823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my cousin wanted us to get our children together at target portraits for a Christmas photo for the great grandparents. I am usually skeptical about photo studios, but this cousin is a wedding photog and assured me that it would be easier than us taking them ourselves and the grandparents would love them. So I went and LO and behold, man they got this awesome shot of my kid. Plus I would love another shot of the boys to use for other things and just to have for later in life. So I'm like, ok, let's buy the CD. She says there is an online coupon and so we go home and sadly, the coupon is not redeemable for CDs. Now I'm thinking about buying the 3 image CD because I love this picture so dang much. </p> <p>Is that insane? I'm trying to justify it by saying, ok, if I print this and give it to people framed for Christmas, that makes it ok, right? You can divide the cost (69 stinking bucks) by all the uses you get out of it...l </p>
