I bought a ""Groupon"" to Westrich Photography for a one hour session and a high resolution CD with 10 images for $75. It was advertised as being a ""$1045 value."" My husband and I took our 3 month old in for family photos. First, the session didn't last one hour, it lasted only 20 minutes. We had about 40 photos taken (many out-takes included) and our son was being a great sport the whole time. I was a little bummed that the session didn't last as long as promised but the photographer said he got plenty that were good. i took his word.
When I got the proofs online, I was completely let down. In all the shots, the background wasn't completed covered or the overhead lights are showing. Many were over-exposed or under-exposed making the extra charge of retouching not much of a choice for us if we wanted decent photos. I would not recommend the studio shots to anyone. Perhaps outdoors or in an environment they'd be better. I don't feel that we got our money's worth (especially when advertised for over a $1,000 value) and being that it was our first child and his first photos, I felt let down. The quality and value just weren't there.
