Q&As
How many photographers do you have?
4, but only expect 1 to arrive 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 “Dealpop clients” in green.
Can we shoot in an indoor location that I choose?
Yes. However, there will be an extra charge for any lighting set up, if needed.
Can we shoot outside at night?
Yes. However, if we have to set up lighting there will be an extra charge of $50.
What if I want to schedule two shoots but I only have one Dealpop?
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.
I’ve seen some photoshoots where the photographers have a bunch of equipment and lighting. Will you have all that stuff?
It depends on the shoot. We’ve worked to master natural lighting techniques, so most of the time, all we need is one camera and a good location.
