Hi - portrait place and pixie photos are owned by the same company.

I've been to a few pixie photo places - I don't know if they treat you any different if you go in with the freebie vouchers, but they always seem to be rushed, snap snap snap and you're out. I find their photos grainy and have only bought one complete lot at Christmas one year, when we were all in them.

I also take pics at home, when Cait was little I put a black satin sheet over the TV stand and put her naked with some black and white stuffed penguins on the sheet, that was fun. You can't lose with B&W film, things come out great.

Barb.
