Below are a list of rules that we wish to follow. However, you must know that we are also flexible on these rules. There are even times when we will be able to bend them completely, depending on when you schedule your shoot. So, please discuss this with your rep during the scheduling process. In essence, our main goal is to make you satisfied by giving you quality images. At the end of this section, you will find a feedback form. Please use it if you can suggest anything that should be changed in our “Terms and Conditions.”

Q&As
How many photographers do you have?
4, but only expect 1 at your shoot.

Can I shoot with my pet?
Yes. As long as the photographer isn’t at risk for danger.

I called, but I couldn’t get through. What should I do? We usually stop answering calls sometime around 5pm and we do not have a person dedicated to answering phones. So, if we are shooting, we won’t be able to answer. Please leave a message or email us at photography@aqiyl.com. We also have a scheduling system on our website that you will see by clicking on a link at the top that says “groupon clients” in green.

What if I want to schedule two shoots but I only have one deal?
A second shoot can be scheduled at a discounted rate.

Can we meet and discuss the shoot before the actual shoot?
Yes. But there will be a consultation fee.
