Even if these pictures were AMAZING, who isn't able to look at pictures on their own??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570166 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:11:07 +0000 pui 1570166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Holy crap. I would tell him outright that that is completely ridiculous and that you'll make sure everyone within earshot and online knows about his crappy service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570157 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:08:30 +0000 MrsTiz 1570157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what in the hell? I agree with Lawbee, post a review so that way other people know what they are getting into! That is nuts! I so want to see these horrible pictures by the way ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570145 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:02:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1570145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would suck up the cost of the session fee - lesson learned - and cut ties!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570143 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:02:21 +0000 lawbee11 1570143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I would write the most scathing review on his Facebook page/yelp/etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570138 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:01:28 +0000 Smurfette 1570138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: :shocked: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570134 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:00:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1570134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1570132 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 12:59:45 +0000 spaniellove 1570132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. This photographer is unbelievable. He offered to let us look at the photos on our own for an additional $500. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567871 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:39:08 +0000 Mamaof2 1567871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Can you ask him what his reasoning is for not letting you view the album on your own time/alone?</p> <p>That is strange! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567860 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:37:08 +0000 spaniellove 1567860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @Bluemasonjar: I might sound stubborn but I'm also against the online thing because my husband and I would have to be talking to him at the same time that we're looking at the photos and tell him what we want to order. I wouldn't feel free to express my honest thoughts about hating things, nor would I have a chance to process anything. </p> <p>To be honest I just didn't know I'd hate the photos this much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567832 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:30:55 +0000 Bluemasonjar 1567832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds like a very strange way to do business. I have always been able to see all of the edited photos online in a gallery and then order prints from there. I also work with photographers that give me full rights to the digital photos as part of a package. I wouldn't drive but do the online option so you can at least see the additional photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567726 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:02:34 +0000 Mamaof2 1567726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I would take him up on the offer to view them online - let him figure out the logistics and have him email you the link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567713 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:58:37 +0000 Smurfette 1567713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Yeah that is pretty crappy. We get two weeks to look and order online before she takes down the pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567711 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:57:54 +0000 lawbee11 1567711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: That is so damn weird. I would not be comfortable ordering them on the spot like that. I'd probably walk away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567705 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:56:16 +0000 spaniellove 1567705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: So he wants us to see them at his office and order them on the spot, or figure out how to do the online viewing and again, order them as we're talking to him. Either way, I can't order that stuff as I'm talking to someone. I'm inclined to just walk away at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567699 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:54:38 +0000 Smurfette 1567699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Wait? They don't let you look at all the pictures online? How are you supposed to see them all to order prints? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567695 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:53:43 +0000 spaniellove 1567695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So his response was that he picked two that he enjoyed but they weren't necessarily his favorite. Okay... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567687 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:51:26 +0000 birdofafeather 1567687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand a print minimum, but I don't understand not having access to seeing the photos?! I know that every photog does stuff differently, but in this situation, it does feel like he's holding them hostage!</p> <p>You said something about setting up an online viewing with him? I would do that rather than make the drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567681 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:49:30 +0000 Smurfette 1567681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually one or two on her blog posts end up being one of our favorites. But every session so far our favorite hasn't been on the blog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567669 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:44:45 +0000 spaniellove 1567669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Yes, I paid for the session only...after a $400 minimum I can buy low res files with a watermark for $75 (that can't be printed) or high res files for $1000 (definitely not happening). I emailed to ask him if he felt those two images were his favorites instead of responding to his request to set up an ordering session. If he either won't send me more or I don't get anything I like better I won't be ordering anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567653 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:36:45 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1567653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How disappointing! Am I understanding correctly that you bought the photo session, but no prints yet? And you have to buy $400 in prints to get any digital files?</p> <p>If I was in your situation, I would probably reply to the email saying you are disappointed with the teasers (I would be specific) and ask if he could send you an additional batch. (Like if he sent you 3, ask him to send you 3 more.) </p> <p>I'd also indicate that the quality of the pictures makes it unlikely you will drive an hour drive to see all of the photos and that you probably won't be buying any prints. This might make him release more online to you, or schedule another shoot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567623 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:27:08 +0000 spaniellove 1567623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: So seriously, I would have thought he'd give me something better than phantom hands. I'd post a screenshot except he put his watermark over that hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567621 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:26:22 +0000 spaniellove 1567621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Yup :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567618 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:25:27 +0000 mediagirl 1567618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: this is crazy talk!!! Did you already pay for the shoot itself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567609 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:23:21 +0000 spaniellove 1567609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Nope, I have to buy $400 in prints before I can have access to watermarked low res images which I didn't know until much later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567605 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:22:51 +0000 jetsa 1567605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel like it's the photogs favorite pics, so I'd feel the same way if I didn't like any of them. Its also very annoying that you have to meet with him to order. Send me a link if I like, I'll order otherwise I won't </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567602 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:22:35 +0000 spaniellove 1567602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: He vaguely mentioned what his process was although I didn't know if we'd have to do it after every single session (his office is more than an hour away). I guess it all would have been fine if I didn't hate the pictures so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567593 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:18:58 +0000 mediagirl 1567593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I think it's really weird he won't send you a link to your photos somewhere. Does he not have an online portfolio with watermarked photos? Did you know about these terms before you did the shoot? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567591 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:18:47 +0000 Mamaof2 1567591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Did you know his process for ordering before you hired him or were you under the impression he would send you an online album and then he changed his mind?</p> <p>I always order online and have 2 weeks to place my order </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-photographer-send-you-the-bestbetter-photos-in-a-teaser#post-1567589 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:17:05 +0000 birdofafeather 1567589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm a photographer and if I send a teaser, I send my favorites and a variety of that (so family, baby alone, details, etc). </p> <p>Anytime I've gotten teasers, it's always favorites or something fun, like for our wedding, a goat scoping us out during our portraits!</p> <p>Makes no sense to send bad ones! Sorry you're not happy. I would be honest and tell him you're not excited about the teasers and you'd like to see the whole gallery! </p>
