[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll be the outlier. I’m surprised you don’t get the digital file of any picture you bought a print of. I’ve never heard of that before.[/quote]

I’m assuming you haven’t used a professional photographer before then. It’s pretty standard practice. [/quote]

I absolutely have. Wedding pictures and baby pictures x2 with 3 different photographers. I have always gotten the digital files for photos that I paid to have printed. I have always had to pay extra for the digitals of photos I wasn't paying to have printed; how that worked varied between photographers.[/quote]

OP PAID for one photo printed. $450, including the session seems reasonable. She’s upset about the cost of the digital, which is the extended cost (intellectual property to the photographer, who she is not getting to print)[/quote]

She paid the photographer 2K!  and she didn't get digital images for the 2K worth of prints that she paid for!!!  I think she should get ALL digital images for $500.  but she paid 2K!  and STILL DIDN'T get any digital images.  Who on earth is your photographer???  Who pays $2500 a year on family photos??

I understand that she paid the charity 450 for a 750 dollar value.    And for that she got a session and one print.  But she ALSO PAID 2K to the photographer for other prints and didn't get any digital images.

did she make a mistake?? sure, she should have asked hey photographer if I pay for 2K worth of prints do I also get the digital images?  She should have asked that.  But what a crook the photographer is!!!  it's sneaky!  And no it's not anywhere close to a normal photography rate.  not even a "good" photographer.  2K gets you digital images for a family shoot!  [/quote]

To be fair to the photographer I did ask for them and she said no. I then ordered the prints anyway. She was not deceptive about that at that time. I knew what I was buying. I really liked the photos and there was really no other way to get the pictures I wanted without walking away. She just didn't tell me until AFTER we had the photos taken. [/quote]
