Groupon – Q & A

Sunday, January 8, 2012 Posted in: Uncategorized

Many of you may have a bunch of questions about the Groupon deal we have going on right now at http://www.groupon.com/salt-lake-city/

The Good news is that we have come up with the top questions that people have been asking and made it available to you here.

Q-Can you replace “people” with dogs?
A-Sure!  We can do photos with dogs outside of the studio.  We are in a very cool part of town that has a lot of options for backgrounds.
Q-How many shots do you take?
A-On average, about 75-100 images
Q-Do you offer a disk of all the images?
A-Yes, you can purchase the disk of all the images for $200.  (Usually this is $400, but we are giving our fellow groupon-ites a deal!)
Q-Are Saturday sessions an extra fee?
A-No they are not extra, but they do book up fast and far in advance
Q-What is the price for prints?
A-They start at $13 for a 4×6, $18 5×7, $23 8×10, $28 11×14. Keep in mind that if you order in the first 30 days, you will receive a duplicate print of anything you order for free
Q-Can I change out a free duplicate print for another print?
A-No, unfortunately this deal is only good for exact duplicates.  they must be ordered online in the first 30 days to receive this deal
Q-How much does it cost to upgrade to a different location?
A-Depending on where the location is, it can start at an additional $25 and go up from there.
Q- Can I upgrade to a session with more people?
A- Yes, you may.  The cost is $5 per person over six.
Q-What are the days and hours open?
A-Our studio is typically open Tuesady-Friday from 10-5pm.  Our shoots will be scheduled both during and outside of business hours, and including Saturdays for a small fee.  Sunday and Monday we take off to spend time with our families.
Q-Can you do engagements for the session?
A-Yes, as long as it falls in to the 30 minute session we will do anything
Q-So what you get is a file with 5 different pictures that we can get printed up anywhere and however many we want? Do we get to choose which 5 pictures?
A-Yes, you can choose which images you would like, and yes you can print these wherever you would like.
Q-Who will be my photographer?
A-We have a staff of photographers that will be available. Photographers are assigned based on availability.
Q-Can I see specific photographers work?
A-The website and blog are a mixture of all of our photographers work.  If you go to the top of this page and click on our names , their specific images will pull up.
Q-Can I use this for a newborn session?
A-Yes, however it is not recommended.  Newborn sessions are the most time consuming type of photoshoot.  It takes more than 30 minutes to get a good amount of photos because of breaks needed for feeding, keeping warm, waiting to fall asleep, etc.  If you choose to use this session for newborns, beware that this does not allow enough time for us to be fully creative.  You may want to purchase a couple of groupon deals and use them back to back.
Q-How far in advance do I have to book a session?
A-For sessions booked on Saturdays, we recommend booking 1-2 months in advance.  For sessions during the week, typically about 2-3 weeks.
Q-How is it possible that you have time to do all of these sessions?!
A-Since we have a staff of photographers, we are able to shoot up to 3 sessions and/or weddings at one time.
Q-What happens if it is bad weather on the photoshoot day?
A-We will call you as soon as we can that morning to reschedule.  We will try to accommodate your schedule, but please be patient and understanding with us.  If we call to reschedule, it is always best to reschedule.  It’s not because we don’t want to work that day, or anything like that… It’s that we think your photos would turn out better if we waited for a nicer weather day.
Q-What happens if you can’t make the session that was scheduled?
A-We ask that you give us at least 2 business days notice if you need to reschedule.  Please keep in mind that we have sessions back to back, so if you are late to your session, your session will still be the original time slot and will be cut back.
Q-What is the in-studio session like?
A-We are 80% on location photographers with natural light.  If you prefer an indoor location, our studio has a couple of backgrounds to choose from.  Keep in mind that the style from doing an indoor shoot and outdoor shoot are VERY different.  In studio is more traditional, and outside we are able to be more modern and creative.
Q-If we do an outside shoot, where will we go?
A-We will have you meet us here at the studio downtown SLC.  From there, we will take a walk around and get some cool shots.  Our studio is in a great location to where we can get an assortment of shots within the 30 minute time slot.

If you have other questions please let us know.  We expect our phone lines to be very busy today so if we don’t answer, just leave a voicemail and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Kate - How much would it be for each additional digital photo – if I wanted more than 5 on a disk, but not the entire photo shoot?

Thanks!
Kate

Stacey - Hi Kate,

Our groupon includes 3 digital images. If you wanted more than that they are either $39.99 each or $200 for the entire disk. Usually if you want more than 1 or 2 more, it’s worth it to get the whole disk instead of individually.
Thanks!

Jamie Compton - Can you extend the 30 min session?

July 19, 2011 - 5:45 pm

Stacey - To extend the session another 30 minutes, it costs an additional $40. That can be paid on the day of your session when you come in to the studio.
Thanks Jamie!
