Not happy with services provided. Had to send one picture back AT MY EXPENSE even though it wasnt my fault. Not sure why they ask for a phone number if they arent going to use it. Got another picture and was damaged when i took the photo out but when I called they made it seem like I did damage to my own picture. Not happy at all. I paid for multiple pictures with parsons and only this one came damaged so was I not supposed to say something?

Ordered pictures , have not recived them. They took the money out though. Sounds like shady business practice. Will take our business elsewhere.
Contacted business but keep getting run around. Next up I will contact the BBB and or court.

If I could give no stars I would. Never received my child's photos or the code they keep talking about. Took my money and that was that. Had no choice since the dance studio hires them. Absolute waste of money. Hot garbage.

The pictures we got are horrible. Every year the pictures just get worse. No thank you, you took our money for the very last time. We will be filing a formal complaint as well.
