| I hate picture day! Which picture package do you order? This is our first time doing school pictures. |

| No need to order anything. This is an easy one OP. |

| Check to see if you can order online (life touch has this option). You can make sure you like the pics before ordering and there are often online coupon codes you can google. If you love the pic, get a bigger package. If it's just okay, get the basic. |

| I order the image on cd, no prints. |

SMALLEST POSSIBLE even if you love the pics. Last year we got a medium package and were over run with ridiculous tiny sized pics. This year I will get the smallest and add and extra 8x10 or 5x7 for the grandparents.
We really only want the big ones or maybe the wallets. Who needs 1x1 or 1x2, whatever they are. |

| I never order school pictures. It's JC Penny's, Sears or Picture People for us. |

| None..I prefer more candid pictures which we take tons of at home. |

| Our picture day is this week as well. I absolutely love our school photographer so I always order. I really think they should do away with wallets. I will get an 8x10, (2) 5x7 and class photo. |

| Sweet'ems, order the bare minimum...and just photo-copy the sizes you need. Who carries wallet sizes anymore...snap it with your cellphone and be done with it. |

You do know this is illegal or at the very least immoral, right? |

Oh, it's illegal all right. Ever heard of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PP? It's no wonder professional photographers have to keep jacking up their prices. People like you. |

| Please. PP is purchasing a print. She's not reselling copies. It's no different from ordering the digital download. These are high volume, low quality assembly-line operations that charge $30 for a class photo. |

| Buy only one and make copies. |

No what PP is suggesting is illegal. The photographer will give release when they sell the CD (which is why it's always higher). Imagine if everyone cheated like you suggest and only ordered one 8x10 and made copies. I hope you don't teach your kid those morals. |

NP here (and an IP lawyer and not a cheater): if everyone cheated maybe finally schools would go back and do like when I was younger, just one class photograph at a very reasonable price (something like $8-$10), taken with little disruption to the school day (and usually done at the end of the year when we were not doing much in class anyway). I find outrageous that private companies have access to public schools and disrupt the school day to take photographs of every single kid in each class in addition to the class photo, and then offer packages that start at tens of dollars. Parents who want personal photographs of their kids to give to relatives and friends can take them to a photographer. |
