Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:14:46 09/07/01 Fri No matter what anyone says, Troy and Michael are consistantly the best for the price. There are people who have not been happy with their work, but the vast majority get great winning pics. The quality is always good, but some kids are just hard to photograph (my daughter is one of them) If you travel to them, the price is about half the amount that you would pay if you went to a location shoot. They charge a flat fee for prints and include all of the retouching. There is no guess work, they do it all for you.

In todays pageant world, you need perfect pics and his are good, but not good enough without retouching. You pay $600 for just the sitting fee, then prints on top of that. I don't know how much the prints are, but for the $600 you could have gone to Troy and Michael and gotten your sitting fee plus 2 prints for the same money.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Bonfanti prints100 for Deluxe touch-up. And that is gayle that is 300.Troy and Micheal are way more. Author: Click in [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:18:42 09/19/01 Wed With Bonifanti you get 3 looks in color and 3 looks in B/W.That is 6 looks total. Troy and Micheal's prices are based on 2 color looks. Each additional look is more. None I know have ever did a shoot with T/M for under 1000. But price it yourself. Tell them you want 3 color and 3 b/w and see how it adds up. Bonfanti is the cheapest and one of the best out there. Remember use can use M.Taylor she is just as good as Gayle,very friendly, and listens to you for 200 for the shoot. So that would be 500 instead of 600!
