Hi D.,
I've been to Picture People both in Redondo Beach and Brea. Haven't yet tried the one at Mainplace. Redondo was an OK experience but both times we've been to Brea has been horrible. The photographers took too few pictures, preferred to entertain my son (when I had 2-3 people of my own there to do that) and took blurred or unusable pics. We were told the wait would only be 20 minutes and each time it ended up being 1.5 hours! With a young toddler, we would have appreciated a more honest response so we could leave, walk around the mall, and entertain him. That plus the fact that they have no bathroom and the nearest one was a very dirty one in Sears made changing diapers a hassle. It also didn't seem to make a difference that we had an appt; we still waited an hour to start the shoot. I'll try the Mainplace location because the coupons and lack of sitting fee are great. Good luck to you.
