Picture People - Bella and Teddy - Session Photography Near Me - Temecula, California

Julie was absolutely amazing today! We were a couple minutes late and our 5 month old was not his normal happy self since he had skipped a nap and she still worked fast, gave us pose, background, and prop changes and got my boy smiling! The shots were all so good it made it really hard to choose a couple to purchase. As we were looking through pictures my baby had, HAD IT and was hungry, tired, crying all of it and she still so patiently went through everything with us and even apologized for the internet taking so long and keeping me from feeding my son (not her fault AT ALL). She was just so sweet and positive and efficient and great with my son I cant recommend her enough! We'll be back for sure! read more

Our furbaby Murphy hadn't had real pictures taken of him lately. So when I saw that Picture People was going to be at Petco taking their awesome pictures, I jumped at the chance. Maureen sure was great. I borrowed a raincoat on a rack for a few of the shots, and that's where it gets good. Maureen actually ran out to her car for her own umbrella to add to the pics! It was adorable. (See the photo) This isn't the first time we've used Picture People & they're simply stellar! read more

I was very pleased with the service that I received. The photographer was really nice. She was so patient with us. I had a toddler that was getting her pictures taken, along with my 6 Y/O daughter. My 2 year old started crying right away. We could not get her to cooperate for the pictures. After a few minutes, and some bubbles, my daughters were having so much fun. That to me shows the great service she offers, and the great asset she is for your company. Thanks for the great pictures. read more

I think these are the best pictures I have gotten of my kids every photo that Monique took was perfect i bout them all and my kids And my kids specialy my son warmed up with her fast normaly he just crys ha read more

I brought my very energetic 7 year old to Picture People today for school pictures, and pictures for the martial arts she is involved in. Kelly took amazing care of my daughter. She was so creative, and was so kind and downright fun. Best of all, the pictures were the best I have ever had. Kelly was so impressed in the martial arts photos that she asked if she could display some in the studio. Thank you Kelly for such a fun session, and the amazing pictures. read more

So disappointed. The photographer was extremely unfriendly. I expected so much more of their holiday settings but in all honesty I could've made better settings myself. Overall bad experience. read more

I was the 1st appt of the day and the staff was already rude. The sales girl who was helping us would ignore us and listen to another conversation by the other sales person and comment on that conversation. We had to keep interrupting her so that she would continue to "help" us. We also feel that as soon as we mentioned that we had a coupon that her demeanor got worse! All of the back drops and props and floor that we saw were disgustingly filthy! Waited awhile to even view our pictures. Then while viewing our pictures the girl would go through them so quickly and seemed annoyed when we'd want to look at a picture longer. But wasn't afraid to keep talking about packages and products. The photographer wasn't our favorite either. The cost of pictures is outrageous as well. I wish i read reviews before wasting our time and money. read more

We have been using picture people for our photographs for over 7 years. We take yearly family pictures. Our experience has always been somewhat stressful (escondido north county mall location) we usually spend around 2 hours for the entire process. This time we came to this location instead (inside buy buy baby temecula). To start off it is very different than having to deal with the mall traffic and the wait. The location is very clean, it was not busy at all. We arrived 10 minutes before our appointment, we were immediately greeted and signed in. Our session started right on our appointment time, our photographer was Courtney. She was very nice and friendly. She made us feel very comfortable and it was actually fun to take pictures this time. She took many different poses and changed the backdrop 3 times. One of the poses felt very awkward to me, She stated "trust me"... I did and it was my favorite picture. She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves what she does. Once our session was over we only waited 5 minutes to view the pictures and choose our paket. Then we waited another 10 minutes to have them printed. We spent a total of less than 40 minutes at picture people. We will definitely be returning to this location. read more

Just had a baby girl so my wife wanted family pics. Pictures came out nice BUUUUT... 1. While taking the photos, the camera lady kept touching my newborn's face to re-adjust it and her nails were dirty! I'm sure her hands were riddled with bugs from previous children. I offered her a wipe and she looked at me funny but took it anyway. 2. We are waiting to view/pick our photos and it was starting to take a long time. I asked how long it will be and one of the workers said "we're sorry but we accidentally lost your pictures". We we so pissed! We came back a few hours later and retook all of the photos. Luckily they gave us some sheets for free. We probably won't come back. read more

Worst experience EVER. I just received our digital images, they are not what I was shown. They are cropped up so close we basically got head shots. Even the full length images are cropped to either boobs up, or not even at the waist. I will never go back to this location again. And our print they printed out is blurry. read more

The photographers doesn't seem professional. I brought my 2 month old baby in for pictures and they were taking their time setting up the props. Before we could finish our session, my baby started crying and wouldn't continue because they were taking too long. Their props were extremely dirty!! I didn't even want to put my baby on their props!! One of the girl put my baby on their bean bag and my baby almost fell off. I don't know how often they wash their wraps and props but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

I hate that I have to write this review and sadly I am only giving them two stars not for the pictures but for the young lady that helped us because at least she tried her best and deserves something. We came her last night with our family to take pictures I was completely disappointed with the selection of pictures we had to choose from and also the quality of the pictures were horrible. I could have saved the money we spent and just taken my own pictures on my iPhone 7 plus. Never again will I come here and throw my money away because that is what we literally did...please do not come here and take pictures find a friend or someone who is a professional photographer!!! read more

Love this place!! I come here all the time. Picture people is not just for babys could be used for prom pictures as well.

Love this place. First time here and they did a great job capturing photos of my two year old who is very active. All the girls were super sweet and I got my portraits after I paid, same day. I definitely would suggest going here for portraits. I know I will be coming back read more

The worst photo studio. No technique. I don't think the photographers are professionally trained. They have no idea what they are doing. Bad service too. I asked them to reprint and pick up later. I showed up. Only one photographer was working. She kept ignoring us even after we rang the bell because she was in the session. After 10 mints she came out to tell us to wait. I am standing in front of counter for 15 mins and no one is helping us. All I wanted to do was picking up photos. She didn't even ask us why we are here for. I don't recommend this location at all unless you feel like talking to car sales person. read more

Appointment at 9am.. Done by 9:15am. It is now 11am and two other people have come had pictures taken and received their photos already and left! Am i being punished or discriminated on for using a groupon? I have 2 measly sheets! People after me got photo frames etc all more complex than my little two sheets. Why am I still sitting here hours later?! read more

We took our son here (Temecula location) for his 1 year photos. The photographer, Lizabeth did a fantastic job. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed. She exceeded our expectations and made our job of picking our favorite photos of our son very difficult as they were all great. We will definitely be back for future occasions. Thank you, The Jacobs. read more

The only reason I came was because of a Groupon. So I made an appointment for 11:20 (right after nap so the baby would be happy). When I got there the lady (who was in the "office", behind the curtain, popped out to tell me it would be 10 mins before she could help me. There was NO ONE waiting with the exception of a mother who came after me. The other customer and I had time to talk while we waited and she told me how it's always this bad! After the lady helped the woman, who I had friended during my wait, review her pictures, she brought us back to the photo area. She did pretty well taking care of us and getting decent pictures of my son which only took literally 5 minutes. She then told me it would take 20 mins before I could view my pictures. No one was waiting. I didn't understand why I had to wait, but I needed to leave as it was already 12. So I came back at 1 to view the pictures. Another lady was there and this time the experience has been even worse. Let me just say I came in at 1:19 and she told me it would be 10 mins until she could help me. 20 mins later (1:39) I finally asked how much longer, she said 5 minutes.... 8 mins later (1:47) she finally showed me the pictures. Now it's 2:25 and I'm waiting to get the prints while my 3 children are getting impatient! Not good business practice! I will NEVER come back! The pictures are cute but definitely not worth 2 hours of mine and my children's time! Very disappointed! read more

We have been coming here for years, usually every 3 months or so. Today, as my girls were laying on the floor to have pictures taken, the photographer accidentally flung the heavy camera at them, hitting them both in the forehead. Complete accident, yes, but there was absolutely no apology or follow up from them and they proceeded to act like it was our fault. Never going back. read more

Took my 5 year old to take Pre school graduation pictures and had a great experience. The photographer Kelly was very friendly and patient, she said business was slow so the whole process was quick and easy. my wife had a coupon so that's why we went because most of the reviews were negative but we just took a chance anyway since we were in the area. My wife and I loved every picture and ended up buying the CD. read more

Very bad experience , I ll never go back , they r hurrying you and don't let you enjoy the session and have no personality to deal with people and kids. I wish I had looked at the reviews before. read more

Concerned because of the negative reviews but we were very pleased with our session and it was because of our photographer ... Paige. Friendly, accommodating, professional and she took her time with us and our large group. We've been having annual photo sessions with Picture People and our group for 9 years and we've only had one experience at being rushed through our session and that was not at this location. We're happy that the Temecula studio is taking larger groups again, for a while they were not and we were having to travel to a studio that would accommodate us. We've been fortunate to have good photographers for our sessions but we were especially please with our photographer for this session. Paige made our session fun! read more

Got birthday pictures done for me and my son (we have the same birthday) From the previous reviews they were mostly negative but I had coupon so I went anyway. The photographer was really nice but the quality of the pictures weren't that good. Out of the 20+ poses I only found 2 that I liked. The picture people location in Rancho Cucamonga is much better. I won't be returning to this location. read more

Never again. Her sales pitch was "but what if your house burns down and all you have time to get is $150 disc" after I had been waiting there with 4 kids for 2 hours, ummm? Get it together picture people. read more

Worst experience ever. Only one photographer and my session started 30 mins late. Then I wanted a backdrop from the website and she told me it wasn't up and she couldn't put it up. She said it was a 2 person job to switch out the backdrop so she couldn't do it because she was the only one working. Then I told her I didn't like the white backdrop but she took most of my sons pictures on it and it looked bad with what he was wearing. Then she kept telling me I should just come back in the fall if I wanted a brown or darker backdrop cuz she only had 4 colors up and there was nothing she could do. Courtney tried to take decent pictures and tried to get my little guy to smile but she was so rude about the backdrop plus their lack of staff made the whole experience horrible. It is the first and last last time I will go there. Plus the printer was having diagnostic errors so she told me to come back in one hour or another day. read more

We made an appointment at 4:30, arrived on time and yet were told the wait would be minimum 45 minutes to even begin our session. We had our family picture done with them last year and the total time was 2 hours! We figured we would give them one more chance but things clearly have not changed. They had even called me the day before to confirm our appt day and time. Why bother with appointments when they can't manage their own schedule? We will NOT be returning!! Save time everyone and go anywhere else but there! read more

Ripoff. I went there to get some Christmas pics and they convinced my wife to buy a cd for 150.00.

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. For the past 6 months I have been trying to make an appointment to get my son's pictures taken. EVERY single time I call they say they are booked for whatever day I asked. They don't even wait a few seconds to pretend to check their schedules it's always a flat out no. I've walked in twice to get make an appointment and it's ALWAYS the same deal. Today her excuse was that the computers are down and I can go online if I need to make any appointments. I'm so sick and tired of these picture people! I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. *waiting patiently for JC Penny to open read more

Inexperienced staff. Overpriced. And one of the associates there (Olivia) wasn't very friendly (she seemed to not want to be there).

We had our family holiday photos done yesterday. Since my baby has been born, I have not had too many good things to say about photographers...but this place was great! I like the simple backgrounds (I want people look at us, not the background). The photographer knew what she was doing, and we had many great shots to choose from. Compared to the other places I went, the pricing was really good. And I LOVED some of the other photo products they had available (like the iPhone cover with my baby's picture on it I bought). Finally! I am very happy with my pics. :) AND PS....I called that morning and was able to get an appointment for that evening. A big plus when we have changing schedules. read more

I have been here a few times, only because I bought the portrait club membership the first time I went and I don't want to waste it. Here are my experiences: 1st time: Made an appointment, session started about 40 minutes late. The photographer asked me for ideas because she wasn't experienced with taking pictures of newborns. It got better once she called someone else in with a little more experience. I get that everyone has a starting point 2nd time: It went ok, except for the wait (note: I had an appointment) 3rd time: Although there was a little wait, they had a photographer filling in that did an awesome job! 4th time: There was ONE person staffed. My appointment started over 50 minutes after the scheduled time.. I schedule my appointments based my baby's schedule, so that far off schedule can make a difference of how the pictures will turn out. To make this a better place, they need more staff. Having one person working- answering phones, greeting customers, taking-viewing- then printing pictures simply does not work and represents very poor management. Also, even when they have more than one person staffed, they still can't stick to a schedule. That being said, they seem to have the capacity of one appointment per hour at best. I would have ranked this place one star, but I did have one good photographer in my 4 visits. I am going to see if another location is better to finish out the rest of my portrait club membership, then NEVER go back to Picture People. read more

Do not come here and waste your time. I brought all my own props thank god because they hardly hand anything. The room was so small so it got hot in there fast and that made my son agitated. There wasn't a second person to help me. I was doing all the work repositioning my son and changing props . If it weren't for me they wouldn't have come out good at all. I broke a sweat. My appointment was at 1 o'clock pm we were done around 1:45 but didn't get my CD (CD!!!! Not even prints) until 4pm and I told here I had a movie to go to at 4. The computer is so slow! And it was a new system so she kept asking for help and she didn't know what she was doing. The first time I went to picture people it wasn't here and I had a great experience. This one is just to small to be officiant. Don't waste your time !!! Go to a bigger one read more

Horrible service. Workers very rude. There took 40 minutes after our appointment just to see us. Would not recommend this place unless you have 3 hours to waste. read more

So I hag clearly made an apt for 5pm, got there was told it wasn't till 6, 630 they finally take us back for the pics, there's only one girl doing everything! ! It's mow 830 and we are nor just leaving..... horrible service, not professional, and as always the white backdrop was filthy!!!!!! read more

The photographer was great but I completely forgot her name. She remembered us from last year and was very professional. She encouraged and complimented my children during the entire photo shoot. She made sure to ask me for my input and made sure I was satisfied with the poses and back drops before ending the session. I was offered package prices but wasn't pushed into them, which is refreshing. The wait for having them printed is a little long (half hour) but completely worth it if you want your photos in hand. read more

We got some lovely pbotos of our daughter for a reasonable price with a Groupon. We also purchased a few of their photo products and found them to be of good quality. I was delighted to find they could mat our photos, print our photo package and put our photos on a disc ready to take home about a half hour after our photo session. read more
