Photography quality was good, but service/professionalism is not good.
I signed up for a pin-up package through Groupon with a friend. As soon as I called to schedule, there was a rush to get us in for consultation. Once in consultation, there was a rush for getting session scheduled and payment for added services. We were told things would happen during session that did not. Such as snacks, assistance with outfits, poses, etc. We were there for over 5 hours with only water. No assistance with outfits or poses was provided. Seeing as how I'm not a model, I would have liked help with poses, etc. to get best experience.
They expected us to pay for photo packages/prints prior to seeing proofs. Once they understood I could not possibly choose which package I wanted without seeing how the pictures turned out, the proofing process began. A few photos were touched up and all were added online for review. I was called every 3-4 days asking if I was ready to order. I did not have time to go through poses and pick a package for probably 3-4 weeks. Once I finally placed my order (and paid), it took almost 3 months to get final product - a deck of cards. I feel like they just needed the money quickly.
I placed my order on 11-4 with promises of having by Christmas. I did not receive by Christmas. Was told they would arrive week after Christmas so they would provide poster at no charge to use as Christmas gift. Drove 1.5 hours for poster and appreciate the gesture. After seeing they were not arriving anytime soon, I asked for the digital images. Drove 1.5 to pick up CD to get home and find it was blank. They ended up emailing me the images. The pictures finally arrived at their shop 4 days prior to Valentine's Day. I was told to have them shipped to me in time to arrive, I (YES, ME) would have to pay for overnight shipping. Was told it was $21 - when I received them, it was $13 for the shipping. Have asked for an $8 credit for extra shipping (since I had spent nearly $500 with them already) and there is no response.
Husband likes the cards, but I would not recommend going through this process to get them. I'm sure the same results can be achieved elsewhere with more professional service. Very unfortunate. read more
