4.5 stars. JCPenney Portraits offers photography for individuals, couples, families, and even…read morehousehold pets for various occasions (e.g., birthdays, graduations, and business). I have been a customer here twice--one in December 2024 and once in January 2026. Each time, I scheduled an appointment through JCPenney's website. Note that this studio is located near section 29 of the parking lot, a blue awning, and the JCPenney salon. You must enter through the lower level of JCPenney and take either an elevator or stairs to the top level. On the days of my photos, my appointments began on time. I got to choose one to two backgrounds. Photographers spoke courteously with me and gave me instructions on how to sit and stand and to use props. The first session lasted only several minutes, and the second session lasted a bit longer. Then the photographer and I looked through the photos to select my favorites and to pay. Advice: Look on their website for coupons. For my first session, I used an online coupon for free session fees and $80 off a digital album, so the total cost was only $89.99 plus sales tax. For my second session, I used an online coupon for $90 off a digital album, so the total cost was only $104.98 plus sales tax. Hours later, Shutterfly emailed me links to my 29 and 56, respectively, photos. I downloaded them to my computer. The photos turned out pretty well.

Went here for holiday photos with my fiancé. If you've got an afternoon to give, the experience…read moreisn't too bad. Biggest complaint was the 40 minute wait to be seen even with an appointment and arriving ten minutes early (maybe to be expected around holiday time). It was pretty much chaos, not enough seating and people and families everywhere but overall fine. The location is a bit difficult to find as well, which gave us a slow start. The photo experience was what maintained the stars here. The staff was professional and even called us back in when they noticed there were closed eyes in a couple of shots. We only got about 15 frames, which I think could be associated with the fact that we used a "Groupon" session. Ultimately though, we got a great finished product (a set of Christmas cards) for a great price and with a set of photos that we loved.

She was able to capture our family so perfectly. We will use her again for my sons senior pictures!!

Missy is an amazing photographer and artist! I recommend her without any hesitation…read more The pictures she took of my 7 month old son are absolutely amazing. Everyone comments on the portraits, saying that she was able to really capture his personality in the pictures. She also took portraits of me and my son that also really capture our relationship. I'm looking forward to future portrait sessions with Missy as our son grows up and our family expands. Missy is a ton of fun to be around. It's easy to relax and have fun while she's masterminding these amazing and beautiful images. She has an unreal ability to find and use the everyday scenery around and translate it into magical backgrounds. Her turnaround time is super quick. And she's great at communicating with her customers. I'd suggest checking out her portfolio and you can see for yourself how fantastic her portfolio is.

Scheduling my author headshots session was easy -- LeeAnn was super flexible, rescheduling immediately when it rained on my scheduled date. She reviewed my ideas and came up with the perfect location for author headshots. She emailed and texted before the shoot to check in with me, and during the shoot, she was so friendly, creating a fun and positive environment during what could have been awkward (I don't love having my photos taken!). The photos came back quickly. I'm so thrilled with them, that narrowing it down to just five is going to be hard! I will absolutely recommend her to everyone, and I hope to work with her again.

I really appreciated the phone conversations before the shoot to help her get to know our family in advance. She also really helped with helping with clothing choices. The photo shoot was really great too. She took a ton of pictures and we never felt rushed, but she didn't waste any time either. I have a 9 month old and a 2 year old and they didn't always cooperate, but she was great with them. Wearing a mask added another level of difficultly trying to engage with the kids, but she did wonderful, and we appreciated her wearing the mask while in our home. The pictures turned out beautiful and we are excited to get the prints we ordered. We highly recommend LeeAnn and if we ever do family pictures again in the future she will definitely be getting a phone call!

I never realized how difficult newborn photography is until I saw the behind the scenes with Becca. She inches baby into the perfect pose while being so gentle and calming which is not easy with a fussy baby. It was an incredible amount of work! Her results are amazing and I have been more than pleased with every single image Becca skillfully captured. I very much enjoy the way Becca commands a photo session. She obviously knows what she's doing and makes sure your head is tilted just right or your hand is positioned correctly to look natural but still picture perfect. Basically, you need to call Becca for all your family photo needs!

Some might call this a little over-eager, but I know that I had to book her as soon as I saw some of her senior sessions when my kid was a junior! They were fresh, whimsical and deep. Taryn's guidance from what type of clothing to wear to locations for the shoot, made for a very professional experience. She was prepared, informed and knew exactly where and what she wanted to shoot. I simply followed behind to watch her do her thing. Initially, I was nervous that my son would not be able to relax and that it would be awkward, but Taryn killed it on that front. She had a very relaxed, casual style of conversing while taking photos that put my son at ease. Her knowledge of the local area, how the light hits at precise moments with the setting sun and her general awareness of what she wanted to capture in two hours, was impressive. I truly loved the photos and am ecstatic with how they turned out.

If you're considering hiring a photographer for your wedding, please read this! Hiring Veronica…read moreVaros was hands down the best decision that we made for our wedding day. My husband does photography as a hobby and is very particular about style and technique, so I thought he would have a hard time being in love with any photographer. However, as soon as we saw her natural, bright and unposed style, we knew that we had to have her capture our day. I think that the photos speak for themselves, but what you can't see is probably most important - amazing customer service. From the time that I inquired about her availability all the way to delivering pictures, Veronica was very responsive and thorough. I've always felt welcome to ask questions, re-arrange the timeline, add extra time and so on. We conversed and processed all paperwork/payments online which is 100% my preferred method of communications (hi, millenial here). On the wedding day, having Veronica and her assistant there really helped me relax and enjoy the wedding instead of fretting about the timeline. She worked so well with the other vendors and my friends and family loved her too :) When my bustle broke, she even teamed up with my coordinator to fix it quickly and get me back to the party. If you got this far into this review, please take this away - a great photographer that you can trust is always worth the investment, and that's what Veronica is.

I am really not a person who is interested in being photographed, so when it comes to portraits, I'm not usually expecting to like very many of them. However - there's not one photo that she delivered that I wouldn't want to show off; I seriously love them all. She really brings out the best in your personality, and knows how to add a little extra camera flair to make it all seem to natural and dreamy. I very highly recommend Veronica to anyone looking for gorgeous portraits or wedding photography.
