We got santa photos. The experience was quick and the photographer showed us more than one photo they took to pick the best one. The photo was really fuzzy though and low quality

I have had Jeff do many pictures for me over the years and have always been very happy with them. From grad photos, wedding photos, to baby photos, and family photos, quality and value are top notch!
