Questions and Answers
I’m so excited to get a great professional yearbook photo of my son who’s about to start his senior year. Thank you for commemorating this miracle! Seven years ago he was an unbelievably sick 10 year old; I was told “he’ll be dead in a week” without emergency surgery to remove his cancerous brain tumor. You’ve no idea what he’s endured to make it this far. Now look who going to graduate!!

If anybody has any questions at all, please feel very free to give us a call anytime at 719-331-3481. You can also visit the blog to see all of the details about the offer.
I also would be using one session for my daughters senior pic, how affordable is the rest of package? We are a small family but would need a few pictures to pass around.

My youngest daughter has very blue eyes and she usally sqints or closes her eyes. We are a military family and I want to get a Colorado Picture to add to our different locations. Do you think you can work with her if the sun is bright can we get good pictures without shadow and squinting.
Hi Amy,
If I understood your question about the rest of the package correctly, you can view a print pricing PDF on our blog. If that wasn’t your question, give me a call at 719-331-3481 and I’ll be happy to clarify. Here’s another link to the blog. http://bradwaltersblog.com/
Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
That is an a very astute question! The short answer is “absolutely”. The long answer is that we use lighting equipment (like in a studio) so squinting caused by the sun is not a problem.
Thanks!
Brad
Brad, I see that you, understandably, have set certain dates for the sessions. Can you let us know what they are?
Thanks!
Hi The B,
I can certainly give you a rough idea. Of course the schedule will be changing so I can’t pin it down exactly right now however. The “constant” schedule will be this;
1) Every weekday after 4 (ish) until the sun goes down. (we chose this time of day for the quality of light in the evening) This decision however minimizes the number of sessions we can can do per day, so we made the expiration date well into 2012.
2) Most weekends will be completely open. However we are also wedding photographers so some Saturdays will be booked.
3) We have arranged for online session scheduling. You will receive an email directly from us with easy instructions on how to do that. (it’s very easy)
I hope that answers your questions Mr. B. :)

Can you use this deal for a wedding?
Just to clarify, you will want to check our blog tomorrow for instructions on how to schedule you session.
Hi Jenny,
I’m afraid the Groupon is only for portrait services, not weddings.
I would be happy to send you information on wedding pricing if you’d like. Please send me an email at Brad@BRadWaltersPhoto.com
Thanks,
Brad
Hey, Brad, how do I know if I succeeded in purchasing this Groupon Deal? I thought I would receive an email, but I didn’t. Do I need to wait longer or retry?
Hi Barbara,
Groupon will usually send you an email clarification within a few hours. I believe they must generate the emails manually, so it may take awhile. If you saw a confirmation screen, then I’d say you’re good to go. If not, I’d check my online banking to see if your card was charged. If it wasn’t, give it another go. You may also want to write Groupon customer support an email, I’m sure they could tell you if your order when through. Thanks so much!!

Brad:
Nice work! Quick question about rights. Would you own the exclusive rights to the photographs or are they available for purchase?
Hi Katherine,
Thank you so much for compliments about our work. That is very nice to hear. As with all true portrait photographers, we are a full service portrait studio, meaning that prints are indeed available for purchase and everyone will be given as much time as they need to choose that perfect image for their heirloom enlargement, or additional prints. If your asking about burning a disk, I’m afraid we cannot offer that for portrait sessions. We do offer a full range of prints, canvas prints, Christmas cards and even silly little coffee mugs. These can all be ordered during your portrait session.
Brad
Thanks for the info on the last question. Here’s #2. Can we place our order at a time other than the session date? Kids seem to be cranky by then and we can’t really take the time to choose which poses we want, etc. B
Hi B,
Well, I think we should take a “wait and see” approach. Technically we need to choose them same day, however, I’m a dad of little ones as well, so I know very well that kiddos have a way of changing our plans. So, if need be, we can arrange to show the images at a later date if you agreed to come back to the location. I should stress that we simply can’t offer this to everyone, and would only be when really needed. Great question, and I’m sure we can work it out.
Brad
Maybe I missed this but…..does it have to be ALL the same people in each session? I would love to have one session done with one son and his girlfriend and the other with the other son and his girlfriend but both with the same mom and dad, of course!
Mary Jo
Hi Mary,
You can have completely different people in each session if you choose. That is perfectly ok. However, you may want to just bring everybody to the same session, and have us do separate shots of each set, and every combination. That’s ok too!
Brad
Can I purchase two coupons for myself or did I miss the one per person small print?
Hi Tara,
Technically the Groupon fine print says you can only buy for yourself, but you CAN buy more for others. So, do with that information what you will :) You could always buy more for others and then just be in that photo too? I suppose Groupon would be ok with that. Hopefully. :)
Brad
Hi everyone,
We know some of you will be commuting this evening, and will only see this offer for the first time this evening. Rest assured we will still be monitoring this page when you get home, so please feel free to call, or email with any questions.

Hi!
When will the online session scheduling be available? I’d like to book ASAP for Christmas… Which leads me to my 2nd Q:
Can I order photo cards through you with a Christmas theme?
Thanks in advance, Brad!

Hi Brad,
I have a couple of questions. Would we be able to make ‘save the date’ magnets out of the pictures and if so what is the price range? The groupon is for 2 sessions, are we able to use one for ourselves and give one to a friend?
Thanks,
Kate
Brad,
My family is here visiting from the UK. I have two questions.
1. Can they get a photo session before Friday, July 30? (they are leaving for home)
2. Can we get smaller pics (ie. 8X10) and have both of the photo sessions on the same day? Or my hubby and I can take the other.
Thanks!
Paula
Hi Brad,
I noticed on your website that your normal sitting fee includes an 11×14 enlargement OR smaller. Could I get an 8×10 included instead for the groupon price? (I would need an 8×10 of my senior.) Also, I would need a yearbook format image to submit to the school. Do you do that and what is the cost?
Thanks!
Lori

I’ve never been to Palmer Park, what is the setting like?
Hello one last time,
To everyone who purchased a Groupon, Thank you!
We made a slight error in assuming that Groupon would send us all of your email addresses. We were planning on emailing everyone with a link to the Scheduling online, but now cannot. Here is the link!
