The gift portrait lie

If you visit their back-in-the-80s website you'll find out that their promise is to always take a portrait of your baby for free.
Are they telling the truth?

The gift portrait big lie

Let the web speak:

Pixi photo are all about the sales pitch, the best pic isn't the free one that'd involve them giving a ****e about their customers.

i had photos taken by pixi fotos of my daughter last year, like that i got "special offer" of €10 for one print but they took loads of pics on the day. My husband and mother went to collect them and ended up paying €100+ for what they came home with... the quality was sh*t, my daughters hand was out of frame for two pics...

I was told the one of him with the teddy bear ears was going to be the free one - it wasn't the best one by far and I ended up spending E180

What a complete scam - this is obviously how they get people to pay money, by giving them a crappy one for free and hoping they'll buy some of the nicer ones.

Pixie photo is a joke...every kid I know that has had one done is in the same pose..they have no imagination

Conclusion

The gift portrait is just a dire way to extort your money. Often times you'll end up paying for the gift shot. As we have already seen in previous articles quality is poor, some people feel disgusted, some feel ripped off, many feel they could do better with their own cameras.
They are all right!
Remember that hiring a professional (a true professional not these mediocre photographers) or buying a brand new camera is going to cost you less than Pixifoto.

Fell victim of the gift portrait gimmick? Let me know in the comments
