Lifetime Studios/Grand Portrait Studios/Alpine Studios And Now IMAGINE Studios?? They mess over employees and customers alike Every State arkansas, Virginia, mississippi, Nationwide Kentucky

I check here periodically to see what these idiots are up to. I see they're still at it and still getting by with all of this, I have no idea how they manage to get by with all of these criminal acts and still manage to stay out of prison.

Aaron Rosenberg's name is correct, but JP Howard is actually Jarred Howard Pratt. I've worked for these people in the far past and anytime I would be able to help someone NOT involve themselves with these people I would be happy to do so.

Jarred Pratt's family is all located in Arkansas. His step mother's name is Cindy Pratt, I cannot remember his father's name but they are located in Fayetteville AR.

Aaron and Kim are originally from Richmond VA where they ALL were taught how to screw the general public by a company called Grand Studios. I think the IRS finally caught up with the owner of that company and the two boys moved to KY with Kim.

Jarred continues to spawn children and leave them high and dry. Ironic, isn't it? They use the children to make money and can't even manage to pay the little money that it takes to actually produce the portraits even though these families pay in advance.

I've considered actually opening a legitimate business like the one they are running. It's a wonderful concept, but they have hurt literally every state in the Union.

They like to go to the smaller towns where the larger legitimate companies like Lifetouch won't go. I've known some of their photographers who were legitimate business people. Very talented people. I'd attempted to warn a couple of them, but they didn't believe me until finally they were 5- 10,000.00 out of their own pockets and never paid. THEN they discovered I was telling them the truth. After it was too late and they had left town to find fresh meat.

Fortunately, they only got away from me with 700.00 of my earnings. I found that it was spent on drugs and hotel parties according to Aaron Rosenberg. I made them all alot of money and then they took these poor people's money and left town.

If I could make a business like this happen I would be in heaven. It would create a wonderful income and create wonderful jobs that honest people need.

It's just simply not possible to do, with the damage that these people have caused.

I wish everyone they booked with would check out this site before the involved themselves with these thieves. They truly are thieves in the strongest sense of the word.

I would suggest people grab a nice inexpensive digital and a nice HP photo program and create their own portraits.

These people are going to continue to take (steal) the hard earnings of others as long as their victims continue to trust without taking a little time on the internet to see what the real deal is.

I'm very sorry to all of you who've lost money to these people. Let it go, they will never provide what you've paid for, if you work for them, they will pay you a little in the beginning to gain your trust and when they run, they won't pay you at all.

Until entire daycare centers are willing to go to the police all at the same time or have the police come to them and file many separate reports, they will continue to enjoy freedom and more of the money that you break your back to earn just to enjoy the simple pleasures such as portraits of your children as they're growing up.

They are REALLY jerks.

Just as an aside- The last time that JP Howard AKA Jarrett Howard Pratt threatened me here on Rip Off Report- he was sending me e mails separately telling me he would pay me if I would stop. Of course I didn't and a week later I ran across his furniture for sale on a free popular site CL if you will. They run often, believe me.

OH and by the way... they work malls too!
