rach i'm pretty sure they are shredded. my sis used to be the manager at riccarton in kmart.
we got a few done of jack when he was about 7mths old and my sis helped the lady take them so they turned out really good!
will wait til charli is older and get some taken of the 2 of them together.

about the vein thing....everytime after my dad has a shower he gets a little red mark in between his eyes lol]]> Wed, 20 Dec 2006 12:36:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=95594&title=pikifotos#95594 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=95583&title=pikifotos#95583 Author: busymum

We took Ashleigh along for some Pixifotos.

The voucher you have is a good price but I don't think their full prices are reasonable at all. We go to PixiFoto regularly and mostly just get the freebie - and usually that's of all of us since those photos are the hardest for us to take!

Like Jennz and Mummy22 said, they're not always hugely great photos but stick with it on the day until you feel really happy with what have been taken. Sometimes the littlies take a while to settle in. At PixiFoto in Palmy they have an option of 1) baby on pedastool thingy (like Zaara) with tinted black background (your choice of colour tint) or 2) great big white sheet that comes down to floor level and you can sit right on there. I've found that works sooooo much better with Briona, she doesn't get as freaked out.]]> Tue, 12 Dec 2006 13:25:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93736&title=pikifotos#93736 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93729&title=pikifotos#93729 Author: Bombshell

we got a free sitting and 10 x 13 from portrait place (in farmers) - had one done of DH and I with preggy belly on weekend cause offer expired by xmas...but if we buy the set (which i wont be doing) it is RRP$1430 and with discount is $785!!! OUCH!!!
We may get one or two but will get copies done elsewhere off the photo if need be...horrendous prices...i thought wedding photo pricing was bad enough!
We had to choose ours without seeing it too so am not convinced it will be the best one...]]> Tue, 12 Dec 2006 13:12:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93729&title=pikifotos#93729 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93706&title=pikifotos#93706 Author: Roksana

We had pixi photos done when Charlotte was a baby- they were fine as we were pretty broke at the time so we couldn't afford anything else. It is very very hard to not buy anymore though- when you see those pictures and you think you will never get to see them again unless you buy it, and then start telling yourself about how they're precious memories... never be this age again... etc etc its almost impossible not to dig deep and splurge. Now I look at those pics and doubt that we will even keep most of them! We had proper professional ones done and the difference in quality is huge. They cost a fortune but are real pieces of art that I just know I will want on my wall forever. If you just want a "fine" pic then Pixi is fine- if you want a keepsake then do it properly and go to the professionals.]]> Tue, 12 Dec 2006 09:32:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93666&title=pikifotos#93666 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93664&title=pikifotos#93664 Author: 11111

If you want to buy the whole set which is like:
18 wallet pics in 6 diff scenarios
6 8x10 pics in 6 diff scenarios
6 A4 pics in 6 diff scenarios
1 double A4 in one scenario that you choose on the day.
(and bonus A4 black and white and snow globe you get for purchasing set)
You can get the coupon out of your bounty pack (or I can find one of mine) and it will cost $320.
If you get the coupon out of the bounty pack and just want the freebie that they offer you just choose it on the day.
You can reject some photos and choose others but you wont get the B&W or snow globe.
I think for the whole set it is around $870 with no discount and if they are running a %off it is normall around $400.

Although this is all what I got told from the guy who comes and visits New Plymouth, someone else might tell you different.
Want me to hunt down the coupon?]]> Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:57:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93557&title=pikifotos#93557 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93554&title=pikifotos#93554 Author: lizzle

that is cheap! they do that, so you'll be tempted to buy the other pics they take - at normal costs. the only drawback is, i think, you have to decide what pic you want printed on that day - before you see the proofs. they are usually good about recommending which one though. I chose one of jake when he was a real wee bubba and the girl ended up developing a diffenert one - she saids the one I had chosen close up ended up looking terrible.]]> Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:48:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93552&title=pikifotos#93552 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4842&PID=93537&title=pikifotos#93537 Author: ellabellame
