National Studios, Maryland Heights, MO
Ripoff, false advertising and added fees all over the place

This company set up a stand in my Safeway grocery store. I made an appointment for Aug. 3 and paid $10.50 for a 10x13 and 16 wallets. He did tell me that there would be a sitting fee, although I don't think he told others that. He called me later that day to reschedule the appointment, so I made it for the 4th. We went in on the 4th and I was very pleased with the photographer, who was very nice, and I think did a very good job. However, I just received a postcard today (the 11th) that said the only time I would be able to view my pictures would be on Aug. 19th between 3 and 4 P.M., sice I will be throwing a baby shower at 3 P.M. That day... 2 hours away... I can't make it. So, I called the 800 number and after 25 minutes of waiting, someone told me that they would also be there on the 20th from 11-2 P.M., so we will see what happens and I will update. I think it is very shady that they arrive for 5 days to take the pictures, and then give you one hour to view them, and then tell you it would be the "only" time to see them... I was going to buy the $160 package, but now I think I'll just get the pictures I paid for and be done with them.
