Create your own photo shoot for less!

Everyone loves the idea of taking professional photos. Dressing up and plastering a smile across a smile your face saying "cheese" guarantees stories for years to come of this experience. But how would that story change if you were to pose, create, and distribute those same photos of yourself for a fraction of the cost? Let's take a look at some prices to get professional photographs taken.

A company-by-company comparison

	Olan Mills		Sears		Wal-Mart
	8 sheets at $7.99		$14.99 non-members fee 9.99 for 35 portraits		30 photos for $4.99 Limit one pose per family per visit
Totals	$63.92		$24.98		$4.99

While Wal-Mart is the least expensive, as you can see you can only get one pose. When you do your own photo shoot, you can take as many poses as you want! For about $20, you can the same quality look and feel with varied backgrounds and you can print them and pass them on to friends and family. Let's put it to the test in a Marketing Mechanisms experiment.
