Pixi Photos - Has anyone been able to bargain them down in price?

[AliBaby]

So DD had some photos done with them as I wanted to get the free photo fromt he bounty bag voucher.

I like the other photos but its

$490- 20 sheets
$375 - 10 sheets
$240 - 5 sheets

A sheet is an 8x10 photo

This is way too expensive for us. I wont be guilted into buying have been wondering if anyone has ever bargained them down in price?

Good luck with it, I was too shocked with the prices. They see the bargain as the more you spend you end up getting alot extras.
We ended up getting the $240.
The best thing we did a couple years ago was when we got family portraits with ILs and BIL and his family that way we all put in for so many sheets and ended up paying alot less.

Ali,

I think thats how they make their money i swear! I took DD to get a free sitting with the bounty bag too, obviously the shot that was free was not as good as the other shots but seriously i couldnt pay $240 for the photos!

I decided to go home and take some photos inspired by pixi, such as putting her in a washing basket.

and 16months onwards I still don't regret it...well not yet anyway.

Sorry Im no help to you ehehhe

The only times I've bought packages from them is when they've has a super special on. Both times I've bought the packages I got a super big photo with the smaller ones, the bigger one was thrown in for free when I ordered the package. That was the only way I could spend that amount of money. I've only got those 2 packages & DD is 4.5yrs old, so I didnt get any when she was under 3yrs old & I dont regret that.
I dont think they lower the prices, they're pretty strict

Can I just say, I bought a jet black bed sheet (QS) & folded it in half so it was extra dark, pinned it up on the wall or over the lounge & took some photos of the kids with that.... they turn out pretty good with good lighting etc. I even had people question one I took last christmas of both kids, everyone thought it was proffessionally taken!!! Give it a try maybe?

Good luck

I'm the sucker who bought them!
I paid around $500 when DS was 3 months old, I got 3 large wall portraits and 4 8x10's.
I don't regret it though, they're gorgeous photos but I'm not going back again, will get a local photographer, actually we're due to have a family portrait done, must get on to that!

I don't get Pixi Photos done anymore becuase they're way too expensive. Years ago they used to offer them to you at half price after they'd stored them for a few months and were going to destroy them. They don't do that now as far as I know.
