photographer... vent!

Soooooo.. a girl that I know... her H works with mine, wants to get into photography, and has started up her own "business". I decided to try and support her.... what a mistake!!!!! The pictures are awful!!!! She charged me $100, and apparently normally charges $200.... I got 28 pictures on a disk... some doubled with her "watermark" so really I got 20 pictures, the colour of them are weird!!! lol and worst of all, she ordered a book for me with the pics and spelt DS name WRONG!!!  UGH! what a waste!!!

  • I would definitely let her know that she spelled your LO's name incorrectly and ask her to correct it. This kind of stuff is exactly the reason I invested in a nice digital camera when DD1 was born, read up a little on getting good shots and just take the kids pics myself. Short of a bad experience with DD1's 3 month pictures (fueling my decision to not do pro pics anymore), I have never gotten either child's pictures professionally taken. I love the pics we get and between Shutterfly and Snapfish's offers, I've never paid more than half price for a photo book (so usually around 15 bucks, plus shipping) and oftentimes get it for free (just pay shipping)!

  • As a photographer on the side I'll add my two cents ;)
    1. The misspelling is unacceptable. She needs to redo that even if it eats her profit. Good grief!
    2. Did you view any of her sample pics/portfolio beforehand? Always know what quality you're getting before you pay any photographer.

    I'm sorry she stank.

  • I saw some pics, she's just starting out so doesn't have a lot in her portfolio, so I was trying to give her some experience.... Now she's wanting to do more.... Keeps sending me msgs to arrange more sessions... She said for free, I want to just to try and get my money's worth but then want to say screw it.... Why waste my time, she sucks! Lol
