So our friend Abbi wanted a picture of some of our friends together, so she organized a Christmas photo shoot. This photography place was located in Bandwaldong station, but I had never seen it before. (Not the most familiar with that station since I am a bus person, not a subway person....)
She had gone in and asked prices and such, and we thought it was a good deal so we went ahead with it. We were in the photo studio for maybe 10 minutes or so, and afterwards got to review our pictures and pick out the ones that we liked.
It was then that we realized that the prices they had quoted Abbi days earlier had quite a few stipulations on them. For instance... every single one of us HAD to buy the same pictures, and we HAD to buy the set of them. Each picture was 8,000. Unfortunately we all spent a bit more than we were planning and expecting!
Now, I know that a business has to make money, but the photo print outs that we got were actually smaller than a 4x6 photo. I have worked at one of those cheap photo studio places, so I know how much printing actually cost. In the end, our group spent over $150 for our photos that took 10 minutes... Gotta love it! It was an experience at least and I got to use my overprices "hand stitched" ugly Christmas sweater! :) Here are the results:
The following are candid pictures that another photographer took of us during our photo shoot. They are kind of funny...
Merry Christmas!
