you are right! Yes,…read moreyou are right, I did love the pictures you showed me on the computer.. Almost every image was a perfect shot (that's 2 people 3 dogs and a horse, mind you;) I was excited to see the Christmas cards. After all, that was the only reason for doing the shoot! I don't see why 3 dogs and a horse are anymore complicated to photograph than a large family or babies, it was the easiest shoot ever... Even the second photographer I hired after you was amazed by how well behaved they were, we had a great time working together and got fabulous images, so no luck was needed from you;) Sorry you had 'difficulty?' capturing us. I think the only difficult one was you, barking orders at everyone, even your own 'assistant' (who you actually introduced to us as you husband) Yes, this is the same 'assistant' that 'hand delivered my cards' (actually he just dropped them off at my house on his way to work right down the street from me, which was very nice of HIM to do because you were to busy giving me the run around.) Yes, you are right, I liked the pictures that I was shown on the computer so much that I wanted to order prints. BUT, I wanted to see the Christmas cards BEFORE I committed to ordering any prints, so I could see the quality of the printing. It wasn't my fault the cards took longer than expected to be delivered and that the first set was awful quality and needed to be returned. Yes, I was upset by the quality of the first set of cards, so after voicing my opinion you agreed with me and begrudgingly reordered a second set. At this point I was STILL hesitant to purchase very expensive prints judging by the quality of your past work (very dark and grainy low quality cards) Also, you kept mentioning the services that I was interested in 'aren't offered' by your printing company, but yet for some reason you can still manage to get them done? That's strange. Yes, you are right, the second set were better than the first but still in no way 'perfect' as you claim I said. I can assure you they were not perfect. They were also a bit dark and blurry, but at that point I just wanted to be done with the Christmas cards and get them mailed out (mind you I didn't get them until the week before Christmas which was only one week away at this point) So not worth complaining about.Yes, I was upset with the misleading prices and mentioned it to you in an email (far from 'reaming you' as you claim I did haha) You agreed that they were misleading and apologized. Then the final straw:Yes, YOU DID decide to vent on your personal Facebook page (that I actually took a screenshot photo on my phone BEFORE you deleted it from your wall because I was so shocked a professional businesswoman would do something so childish ... would you like me to refresh your memory about what was said...?) So, to now to lie on here and say you didn't post it.. Wow. Yes, you are right, THAT is when I decided to cancel my order. No, I will not spend that much money on pictures that I am unsure how they will turn out once printed judging from your previous printing attempts. And especially not with someone so rude that makes comments about me... on Facebook of all places. Grow up. (Speaking of Facebook, I find it funny that right after I posted my honest review on here you felt the need to go to your Facebook, once again, this time bribing people with a free mini session if they write a positive review about you... Interesting.) Also, just to make it VERY clear, I referred a friend long BEFORE our shoot even took place, and immediately after our shoot I texted her that she may want to reconsider because I thought you were rude, but unfortunately it was to late for her to cancel since she had already paid a deposit. Her experience is a whole other story! So bottom line: Yes, you are right that I loved many of the images you showed me on the computer, but you are also right that I did not value the work that you showed me with the printed cards. I also did not value the way I felt I was treated. I was not about to shell out that amount of money for what I consider low quality printing (with seemingly very limited printing options) I would rather just take my money elsewhere and re-do the shoot, which I did. Thank you for my refund, and also for deleting all of the images. That was very professional of you. So in the end it all worked out for the best because we re-did the shoot finally got a beautifully printed family portrait for my husband before he deploys;) Five stars for that!
