Professional photos - somethings not sitting right. Yes or no??
Background - we were given a voucher for a photo session by a friend as she was unable to use it in the given time. Great. Booked a time (had to wait about 3 months as they were booked out). The voucher was for a free photo sitting and $350 to spend on photos.
So we went on Friday to have the photos done. The guy was a total nutcase but I think that's more him, I thought DH was going to punch him and I was getting pretty agitated as well.
So it comes then to spending the $350 and this is where somethings not sitting right.
His photos START AT $270 for a single image and he will ONLY do it on canvas. But we weren't told this until AFTER the photos were taken. Of all the photos that were taken we will only get to see 20 (the shoot went for about an hour once his stopped his constant nonsense jabber). No where in any of the paperwork does it give a price range (first mistake there, though I did ask and was told that we can spend it on whatever we wanted so I assumed we could do normal prints also).
He appears to have HEAPS of work around so people must like him.
I would love to just have even 3 prints put onto a disk for the $350 so that I can blow them up if/when I see fit and also make copies for family. I can't do this if they ONLY put things on canvas.
I get that this is what his business is, however, I should have been told this first right? That they only do things on canvas - no prints. If that was the case, I wouldn't have had it done.
I've had a number of photo sessions done over the years, one where I got to pick an album the other i had prints done that I could copy.
Whats everyone elses thoughts? Am I being the crazy one?
