Olan Mills Reviews

olan mills will not get you your pictures back when you are suppose to get them. the first pictures i ordered were sent with permanent marker through every picture. so they called and the pictures were suppose to be overnighted to my house. well that overnight took two more weeks and then my family portraits were too dark. so two months later ...  Read the complete review

I'm somewhat obsessed with pictures of Harry, I have 100's of pictures in albums, actually it's a worrying amount considering Harry is only 2 years old! But I just can't help thinking that he is growing up too fast so I want to capture each moment before it passes! We had some Venture pictures done last year and unfortunately they didn't live up ...  Read the complete review

From the moment you find out you are pregnant one of the first things that prospective parents think about is the scan and the first picture of their unborn child. While packing, unpacking and re-packing our labour bags one of the first items to have pride of place is the camera. As early parents we should have shares in Boots for the ...  Read the complete review

About 2 years ago I received a very strange phone call. A friend of mine had just had a baby and had used Olan Mills to have some portraits done of him. Whilst at the studio she was asked if she knew anyone who would like to use their service and she recommended me. I was told about one of their amazing packages which sounded too good to be true. ...  Read the complete review

Olan Mills may sound like a great idea at first – only £23.95 for 4 sittings for your child and one free photo per session. But have a closer look at what you are being offered. A simple 10x8 print costs £20 when an e-print will cost you only £2.50. They offer you £380 (their price) of photos for £70 but they could be printed off ...  Read the complete review

In an age of digital photography, where anyone can walk into a discount store and purchase a photo package, you would think that Olan Mills would make more of an effort to insure that the personnel hired at their locations are in some way trained in the art of customer service. My personal experience, I contacted one of our local Olan ...  Read the complete review

I have been very impressed with Olan Mills and I thought I’d let you know what offers they do as the offer I’m about to tell you about it great value for money. After my son was born I got a phone call from Olan Mills offering me a “watch me grow” plan. The plan was you pay £21for 4 sittings over a year and each ...  Read the complete review

I found it hard to believe the offer that the telesales representative was explaining to me: four sittings and a 10x8 portrait of our baby from each, plus an Elegance makeover (Ha! You seen me lately???), sitting and 10x8 portrait for myself. All for £21.99. I questioned her to the point where she must have wished she had rung the next number ...  Read the complete review

I first heard of Olan Mills through a leaflet in the bounty pack you recieve when you are in hospital after having your baby. I was very interested but with the excitement of a new baby forgot all about it! It wasn't long after I'd come out of hospital that we received a phone call asking if we'd be interested in a special offer ...  Read the complete review

I'd never heard of Olan Mills before the birth of my second baby when I received a phone call from one of the operators saying would I like to know about one of the special offers on at that time - it turned out if you paid just £19-99 you got 5 sittings with whoever you wanted on the picture and a free 10x8 picture with a choice of buying ...  Read the complete review

I have been going to Olan Mills ever since my daughter was born and i received a voucher for a photograph session of her. I have always found them pretty flexible in fitting you in (apparantely they open until quite late) and on the viewing procedure. So okay their prices can be pretty expensive but the quality is really very ...  Read the complete review

We have used the Olan Mills plan a few times over the years. We wanted a Christening pic of our son and it just didnt look right, we were very unhappy with it, when hey presto, Olan Mills rang and offered us one of their famous plans! We had never heard of them at the time, but £20 sounded a bargain. You pay £20 over the phone or send a cheque ...  Read the complete review

Well, maybe that's not entirely fair, but my experience of Olan Mills is that they certainly know how to take good photos but they seem unable to keep to a schedule of any sort!! We were bought a "watch me grow" package for Christmas for my son and we have found our local studio to be running late, constantly! We ...  Read the complete review

I know this is probably the wrong place to be putting this opinion, but I couldn't find anywhere else to put it. Last year, not long after the birth of our first daughter, we bought a "Watch me grow" portrait plan from Olan Mills. For £20, you get four sittings over the course of a year for the family, and one 10 x 8 print ...  Read the complete review
