Here is the back story as to why I switched to JC Penny:

So some may know the story already but here it is again... So I have been taking studio pictures of Ashlyn and now Colton every month since they were born. There were a few months missed with Ash because after 1 year we decided they only needed them once every 3 months. But now that Colton is going every month why not have Ash take a few.  

I had been a Kiddie Kandids customer since March 2008. I developed a great relationship with the girls and photographers that worked there. Then one day I received 4 missed calls fro the studio. Hmm I thought... this is weird.. I have not placed any special orders, why are they calling so many times. I checked my vm to find out that the company had filed for bankruptcy and they were CLOSED! 
I called back and talked to several of the workers, we exchanged information and will try and keep in touch. They were all calling me asking permission to print some of the shots of Ashlyn to use in their portfolio. I obviously said yes! Then Jenn called, the manager, said she wanted to speak to me personally. It was so sweet and sad at the same time. Jenn had taken pictures many time of Ash even though she was not on the camera often... Last Feb. Kiddie Kandids was about to launch a new line "FACES" Well the pictures Jenn took of Ashlyn were chosen and used in the campaign. I didn't get anything but bragging rights - which I never did that is not like me- at the time Jenn gave me 2 sheets of only 2 poses.... but now I have them all printed & CD. 
Woo Hoo... 

Ok so sorry for the tangent....back to my story... Well when I had to venture out to a new studio... [I can't afford Krista & Jana every month {wish i could}]... I chose to go to JC Penny. Heard good things, good quality, good price, long wait for pictures (ugh hate that) but all in all I liked it. Not LOVE like I LOVED KK but I am trying....
So did you like them?

ps: Friends if you have not been a JC Penny customer before all Kiddie Kandids customers are getting a  1 time 50% off your order...make use of this discount! I did!
