Olan Mills Portrait Studio

Don’t do it.
I know this place is kind of like a drive-​thru photography studio, and for the most part, their prices reflect that. But, they are really unprofessional. Their set-​up is ghetto, they have no customer service and it’s just a waste of money. Seriously, this place is a joke. They have some chicks working there who look like they rolled out of bed, found some crumpled up clothes on the floor and forgot to brush their hair. Just the kind of ppl I trust to have the skills to work photography equipment.
I had a hard time squeezing any info out of them on the phone when setting up the appt. Sat there for 20 mins after the appt, and still had not been greeted, acknowledged or checked-​in, despite being the only group waiting in the sitting area. And there was even an employee standing 10 ft away from the sitting area, handing out sales fliers to the shoppers passing by. Uhh, hello? Instead of trying to reel in more ppl how about you take care of the ones you have?
Aggravated, I quickly assessed the place and called JC Penney and was able to get squeezed in. I walked up to the counter and told the sales associates (who somehow magically appeared, finally!) that I was canceling our appt and going elsewhere. They stood there, baffled, then asked why. I told them I didn’t want to give them my business and waste my money and walked away. not giving them the chance to say anything.
Although they were SUPER busy, JC Penney turned out to be a WAY better choice. I know I was cheaping out by using this type of photography studio, but it served the purpose, and they were even running a 40% off special, which Olan Mills definitely wasn’t offering.
