Photography Services Provided
The private Miami photoshoot experience provides a personalized photography session catered to the customer’s desired outcomes.
The photographer introduces themselves and discusses the customer’s preferences. They then provide basic modeling poses upon request to help guide the photoshoot.
The session takes place in a private setting, with only the customer’s group participating.
While the customer was satisfied with the digital editing and delivery of the photos, the late arrival of the photographer and the timing of the shoot didn’t align with their expectations.
Photoshoot Execution and Timing
Although the photographer arrived over an hour and a half late, they did provide basic modeling guidance to help the customer achieve their desired shots.
The photoshoot execution had some notable challenges:
- The customer’s preferred afternoon shots were instead taken at night, resulting in suboptimal lighting.
- The digital editing process took longer than expected, with the photos delivered via Dropbox instead of physical copies as initially promised.
- The customer had to insist on timely delivery of the edited photos, indicating a lack of reliability and responsiveness from the photography service.
Editing and Delivery of Final Images
Despite the photographer’s late arrival and the suboptimal timing of the photoshoot, the customer did receive the edited photos as promised, albeit via a Dropbox link rather than physical copies.
While the digital delivery was convenient, the lack of physical prints was disappointing given the package’s description.
The photos themselves were well-edited, showcasing the customer’s Miami backdrop.
However, the delayed timeline for receiving the final images, along with the earlier issues, detracted from the overall experience and left the customer wishing the photoshoot had been better executed from start to finish.

- Timing mismatch for the desired photoshoot
- Inconvenient digital-only delivery of final images
