I am so dumb. I have left stuff to the last minute AS USUAL. So i had the idea of getting some portraits of Briahna for my mum and aunty to take back to Scotland, and pixifoto are saying i go back in TWO WEEKS. I need some in 3 days!
What can i do?
Before someone says take them yourself i am a CRAP photographer, my camera is sh*t and im a crap photographer. I want professional ones not amatuer crap.
Any ideas guys? ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

hmmm I doubt that u would be able to find a photographer that will do it in 3 days but can you not courier the pixie photos over to them in 2 weeks?? Other than that ring around the photographers in your aarea tell them you need them urgently and one may be able to do it for you!
Good luck ------------- https://secure.fertilityfriend.com/home/30c4ec/" rel="nofollow">  Mrs Te Kani ❤️ Neosha 26/5/2007 |

Even if you wrapped them properly in cardboard like thick cardboard? We sent some to England when my mother was over there and they arrived fine I just cut up thick cardboard boxes wrapped them in plastic bags and bubble wrap that way they couldn't get bent and the postage was about $28?? or somewhere around that. ------------- https://secure.fertilityfriend.com/home/30c4ec/" rel="nofollow"> Mrs Te Kani ❤️ Neosha 26/5/2007 |

Ask someone else with a reasonable camera to take some? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

You can send stuff in tubes. We sent posters from Europe back to NZ when we were backpacking, and they all arrived fine. Could always send them that way.

or if you can get high res digital versions of the prof photos, you could upload them to a site based over there (eg http://www.snapfish.co.uk - snapfish ) and get the prints sent directly to them... saves you on the postage anyway... -------------
