    I found pixi photo are excellent value for money, 7 poses, 50 pics, for £88 & got boots advantage points as was in boots store.
    Olan Mills more expensive but good pics, more pressure to buy though, I was disappointed with how they are posted, flimsy envelope, so I sent them back & got a refund!

    had free ones from OM & others, not that impressed with OM, depends on photographer u get as sometimes great, sometimes awful! always start at least half an hour after allotted time though (even when time was 10am when they open - doors opened just after 10am then had to wait) which is a pain when car park costs per 15 minutes & child is bored. also they sent a voucher but when tried to use it they said was only to be used on the single expensive shots (didn't say on voucher) - bought anyway that time as used pics for xmas pressies for family. if u really don't want to be tempted take no money, cards or anything - can't buy without a deposit! Good luck!!

    We are off to o++n M====s tomorow for our photos of the kids to get taken. We just always tell them we are only after the one included in our watch me grow package - It can be hard as their photos are normally great ( and my 2 boys are exeptionally photogenic ;) But just be strong!!!!

    Sorry to drag this back, but today we went to the photoshoot in woolworths, had a free picture taken, then a few more.

    I think about 12 in total.

    They said that we could have them all for £500...

    Yikes i thought, as we said no and agreed to pop back tomorrow to take a closer look.

    I wanted to know what it cost per picture, but i had a feeling they would not tell me.

    Im sure the wife was looking at me funny, as she knows i was probably pricing the lot up, as I can get the same pictures developed in jessops for £1.03 each.
