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

What to wear for a best friend photoshoot?

When planning outfits for a best friend photoshoot, coordinating your look is a great way to create a cohesive style without appearing overly matched. A classic combination like black or white tops paired with denim are always a popular choice.

To make your friendship photoshoot more personal, consider incorporating a shared hobby or interest into your session. Matching accessories like hats, sneakers, or cowboy boots can add a fun touch while still letting each person’s personality shine through. Most importantly, wear outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident.

Important note: clothing must not be transparent and undergarments must not be visible.

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.

Your Memories, Professionally Captured.

We had so much fun doing these pictures. My best friend and I were legit in tears from laughing so hard. She had us in the most silly poses which is exactly what we were going for. The pictures turned out great and we had an awesome time!

– HOLLY FROM SPOTSYLVANIA MALL STUDIO

Our photographer was amazing! She was so fabulous, friendly, and great at setting up poses for us. We’re so thrilled about how the pics turned out. She went above and beyond to help us do 90’s style pictures and it was such a hit. Thank you!

– HOLLY FROM SOUTH HILL MALL STUDIO

Our photographer was awesome! She knew the viral awkward poses that we were hoping to do, plus she was also open to our ideas. We loved that she was cracking up at our shenanigans. We loved our experience.
