One of the "questionable business practices" I mentioned happened to my sister. Her daughter (5 years old) had their "Fall Picture Day" done with no notification to the parents during the 2nd week of school. Then, when the photos came back, the kids were given the photos and a bill to give to their parents to pay. Well, most of the kids handed out some wallet photos to friends before making it home, so the parents (my sister included) felt that they had to pay for the images - even though they didn't order them!! Pretty questionable and, I think, unethical.

That's how we got it to for my 2 school-aged kids. They gave us a week notice. The pictures were crap, mostly of the backdrop, my son was centered on the frame which he covered about 20% of and rest was all backdrop and props, as if they wanted to show off their backdrop instead of my son. Cut all sorts of sizes and then had a bill attached.
