PICTUREME PORTRAIT STUDIOS® GIVE FAMILIES A NEW REASON TO SMILE
New, All-Digital Studios at Walmart Help Busy Families Create Unique, Affordable Keepsakes
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (March 12, 2009) – The schedules of today’s families seem to be busier than ever. Juggling
work demands, school calendars and extracurricular activities, as well as extended family gatherings and
other commitments, leaves little time for parents to properly capture key milestones along the way via family
portraits. Plus, family budgets keep tightening in the tough economy.
But now, PictureMe Portrait Studios’® fully digital studios in Walmart stores enable parents to preserve
memories conveniently and affordably. With professional photographers who know how to make any portrait
occasion a success, PictureMe Portrait Studios® offer more portrait options and packages than ever, all at
great prices.
“The beauty of an all-digital studio is that parents can review poses and view portraits with enhancements –
such as artistic and tinting effects, cropping, and adding text and graphics – immediately after a professional
session,” said Renato Cataldo, president and CEO of CPI Corp., which owns and operates PictureMe Portrait
Studios®. “Then, moms and dads can choose favorites and collaborate with the photographer to create the
perfect keepsake or gift, including anything from wallet-size prints to one-of-a-kind wall portraits.”
PictureMe Portrait Studios® are located in Walmart stores, making it a convenient stop for even the busiest
family. For a studio near you, please visit http://www.pictureme.com/cpi/en-US/StudioLocator/.

PORTRAIT CDs PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH ENDLESS PORTRAIT POSSIBILITIES
Portrait CDs from PictureMe Portrait Studios® offer the easiest way to access, store, share and use images
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (April 6, 2009) /PRNewswire/ — Professional photographers capture one-of-a-kind portraits for families in a way that snapshots can't. Wouldn't it be wonderful to immediately take home all of your photos from a professional session and share these treasures with family and friends?
PictureMe Portrait Studios'® Portrait CDs are the perfect solution for families who want a variety of high-resolution, special portraits to conveniently use as they wish. A Portrait CD can contain an entire portrait session or just family favorites. Plus, images from Portrait CDs can easily be uploaded on the Web or a personal computer, so they don't take up the space that traditional albums and photo boxes do.
"We believe families should have the opportunity to access, store, share, save and print their professional portraits anytime, anywhere," said Renato Cataldo, president and CEO of CPI Corp., which owns and operates PictureMe Portrait Studios®. "With our Portrait CDs, families have unlimited rights to use and reproduce their portraits. Plus, they can take their CD home immediately following their portrait session."
A Portrait CD can be purchased by itself, but is usually bought along with a Portrait Collection. Prices start as low as $10 and typically average about $30, depending on the number of images purchased and related discounts.
Families can easily use their Portrait CD to create birthday, holiday or anniversary gifts and keepsakes for loved ones. Other ideas include uploading favorite images to photo sharing/viewing Web sites or creating screen savers.
