Your Memories, Professionally Captured.

The photographer was amazing! Our family photos came out much better than I anticipated. The backdrop was gorgeous, the session was quick, and the pricing was surprisingly affordable. The digital package sent to my Shutterfly account was so helpful. I am so happy with the results!

– TAMIKA FROM SANDUSKY MALL STUDIO

Everyone from our photographer to the person who helped me with packages was so kind, patient, and accommodating. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of service. So much so that I signed up for membership. I look forward to capturing my family’s memories and milestones with you.

– CANDICE FROM ROOSEVELT FIELD STUDIO

Our photos are adorable, my kids are SMILING, and our photographer got the best photo of me and my daughters that I’ve ever seen. She was fast and professional and we were able to see and order our photos within hours. Just wonderful all around. Can’t wait for our canvas collage to come, that’s getting a place of honor in our house.

FAQ

How much does a JCPenney Portraits family photoshoot cost?

A session fee is $14.99 per person. An additional $24.99 extended session fee applies to groups of 8–12 and newborn sessions. All other sessions can be upgraded to an extended session for extra time in front of the camera. Join our Perks Club for $39.99 (two-year membership) and enjoy unlimited free session fees.

Personalized products and digital images are available for purchase after your session. Digital images start at $59.99. Choose from curated product bundles, wall art, and gifts designed to beautifully showcase your family portraits.

We also offer Afterpay so you can enjoy your session today and pay over time in four interest-free payments.

How long do JCPenney Portraits family photoshoots take?

Our standard sessions last about 45 minutes, including 15 minutes in the camera room.

Upgrade to an extended session to enjoy 30 minutes of camera time for more variety and poses.

What not to wear for family photos?

Choose solid colors or subtle pattens to keep the focus on your family. Avoid bold logos and overly bright colors.

Opt for well-fitted, higher-quality clothing that reflects your style rather than baggy or overly casual pieces, like sweatpants or loose-fitting t-shirts.

Accessories should enhance your look, not distract. Skip items like hats, sunglasses, and smartwatches so nothing distracts from your photos.

How do I access the digital images I purchased?

If you purchased digital images at your photo session, they will be delivered to your Shutterfly account. Shortly after your session, you will receive an email from JCPenney Portraits that your images are available to claim online.

If you did not purchase digital images at your photo session or had an outdoor session, your digital album will be available on MyCollection by Lifetouch where you can view your images and shop personalized photo products. If you purchase digital images from MyCollection, they will be delivered to your Shutterfly account.

How soon can I get my JCPenney Portraits products?

Your personalized photo products will typically ship to your address within 14 business days after your visit.
