  We booked a photo shoot with enchanted fairies under the guise that we won a free picture. An 8 x 10. We had our daughter do the photo shoot and set up the meeting with the sales person. The meeting was high pressure sales saying we had to make a decision during that meeting or the images would be deleted permanently. The packages were very high prices but I figured for a hand painted portrait in a 24 x 36 it was gonna be high. We paid ******* for the masterpiece portrait and 7 digital images in an email. On our recipt it states that masterpiece portraits are hand painted and take 4 - 6 months to produce. I knew something was wrong when the portrait came after a little less than a month. We opened the box and were absolutely devastated to find a digital print on poster board. I can get a digital print the same size on canvas (which is far more sturdy) for ******. We were told it was a masterpiece portrait and our recipt says on it that is hand painted and can take up to 4 - 6 months to produce. Why were we told this and why does it say this on our recipt if it isn't true? I reached out to customer service only to be told I was wrong and that's it. No sensible explanation for why we were lead to believe it was hand painted when apparently it was never supposed to be. No offer of refund or anyway to make the situation better. No offer of exchange for the painting we thought we were paying for.

  I went for a photo shoot for ***** with a promise of a free 8x10 on feb 1st There was a zoom call on feb 6 to review the photos. I was in the zoom with my husband and children in the background. The company used very high pressure sales tactics including directly communicating with my 6 year old via zoom getting her excited for a new photo book. They did advise of a very strict cancellation policy once payment was done, but my husband and I still went thru with it and gave our credit card information to buy an album with several photos in a fairy book. Our daughter was there wanting it and we felt pressured and agreed. We cannot afford to pay this off, as we are barely getting by right now. We immediately regretted the decision and reached back out to them within 24 hours. We had not yet selected the photos for the book and wanted to stop it from going to production. There was no way to talk to customer service on the phone. We had to set up a zoom call and the next day was 2/26 to even discuss cancelling or downgrading the order, which is what we were asking for. We wanted to cancel the 3500 book and get 2 8x10 photos at 200 each plus the free one we were promised originally. they advised no way to downgrade or change the package I asked about MA law that gives you a cooling off period before entering a contract, order was placed via zoom call. I feel this company is taking advantage of young families and charging exorbant prices for photos and being extremely unfair in their policy with absolutely no way to cancel or change. and no one else we could talk to or escalate the matter to. She did agree to an extension on the photo selection, as I have been advised if we don't pick the photos we want in the book, they will select for us. We cannot afford the 3500 book and will be unable to pay the credit card. Please help struggling young family being taken advantage of by big corporation!!!

  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to provide clarity regarding your experience.Your session fee was $25 per participant, totaling $50 for your two-person session. As part of our commitment to making professional photography accessible, we offer one complimentary 8x10 Gift Print per family, per household, per year. Our goal is to create meaningful portraits that empower children and showcase their unique beauty. Additionally, all session fees are donated to childrens charities, and we have raised over $3 million to support these causes.
  
  We take quality assurance seriously, which is why I have thoroughly reviewed your order and your Photo Premiere call with your Portrait Consultant. During your Zoom session, both ****** and ***** were present, and because our mission is to empower children through photography, our consultant engaged with them to understand their preferences for their portraits. Our intention was simply to make them feel included in the process.
  
  Approximately 40 minutes into the Zoom call, your Portrait Consultant reiterated that they wanted to ensure you had all available options and asked for your specific preferences. From the beginning, you expressed interest in the Storybook, which is why the consultant focused on that product. It was also clearly stated that there was no obligation to make an additional purchase and that you would still receive your complimentary 8x10 Gift Print regardless.We strive for complete transparency, which is why our la carte pricing is available on our website prior to booking. Additionally, our policy is presented, read aloud, sent for your review, and signed before finalizing any purchase.
  
  We recognize that this is an investment in your familys memories, and we want to ensure that every client fully understands our processes before proceeding. Once an order is placed, a designated artist is immediately commissioned to begin production, which allows us to maintain our standard 6-8 week turnaround time.
  
  Regarding cancellations, once your order was finalized and the Zoom session concluded, there is no cancellation window. The ************************* (***) Cooling-Off Rule does not apply to purchases made entirely online, by mail, or by telephone, meaning there is no automatic right to cancel once an order has been submitted.Your meeting with our *************************** on February 26th was scheduled to explore possible solutions within our policy guidelines.
  
  During that call, you were offered an extension to finalize your photo selections by February 28th at 5 PM CST. When we did not receive your selections by the deadline, we reached out again to offer an additional extension because we genuinely want to work with you to ensure you receive the images of your choice.We understand that this is a significant decision for your family, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify our policies and process.

  I paid $50.00 for a photo shoot and one free photo. I was urged to set a zoom call with the company enchanted fairies to review other photos and to make a purchase. After reviewing some photos I agreed to purchase and finance photos. I asked if my sons toe could be edited along with some other issues. They said theyd pass that along to editer and couldnt allow me to view photos on zoom call after edit. I asked to cancel and be refunded and was told i couldnt because of agreement and contract iniated in zoom call. This was 3 days after zoom call. After waiting 2 months. I was able to set up another zoom call again to be told i couldnt cancel.I recieved my 8x5 photo that I prepaid for with photo shoot. Not the photos I am financing. After reviewing the photo I was displeased. MY DAUGHTERS skin complexion is several different shades. I again asked to cancel over zoom and the company offered me a slide show or the roll of photos taken and I said I was unhappy with the photos and would still again like to cancel. The company refused. I also reached out to Uown financing and they said It could only be canceled by company. The product hasn't been printed or shipped therefore no money lost all cost would be settl3d with my initial $50.00 paid.

  ******,Thank you for letting us know of your concerns. I am sorry to hear you are not pleased with your images. I truly understand how disappointing it must be to receive an image that doesnt meet your expectations. During our review of your account, there was a concern mentioned about your sons toe during your Client Relations Zoom call. Along with a note of the complexion of your daughter. I do see that there is some overexposure from the brightness of the lighting at the studio.
  
  Please know that we are committed to making this right for you, and we can certainly work on correcting the 8x10 based on the feedback you *********** add additional clarity, we are a Fine Art ******** studio, and we specialize in creating high-quality enchanted portraits.

  We are unable to edit the images without an order. On your initial Zoom call, you were shown images of what we offer in terms of artistry, however, we cannot show your edited images as those must be purchased in order to commission your designated artist to proceed. What we can do is offer proofing on additional images as well as correcting the 8x10 Gift Print you received.We understand our prices are higher due to the quality of the items we provide, which is why we offer one complimentary 8x10 Gift Print per year, per family, per household to each session that visits with no obligation to purchase any additional images.I also see that the $50 you mentioned was actually the $49 deposit, which was offered to be refunded back to you over your original Zoom call. However, you chose to opt for the duplicate 8x10 Gift Print in place of the the refund. I see that on January 23rd, you were offered a refund of the $49 deposit back to your account and remove the duplicate 8x10 Gift Print that was not associated with the outside financing.

  I was told my items would take 4-6 weeks, which seemed reasonable.However, things quickly went downhill. By the week before Halloween, I had yet to receive my digital files, three portraits, or two storybooks. I reached out to customer service and was connected with a representative who was very apologetic. She admitted it was their mistake, promised to make it right by offering a free 8x10 portrait, and assured me Id receive my items soon. I finally received my digital files later that day and, shortly after, one of the three portraits and one of the two storybooks.Weeks passed, and the rest of my order never arrived. When I followed up, I was told everything had already been delivered, which was untrue. I even provided proof from ***** showing only part of my order had arrived. They then claimed someone might have stolen the missing items, which was absurd because I have a Ring doorbell camera showing no such theft. By Nov, I was dealing with multiple representatives, none of whom seemed to have a clear understanding of my situation. One rep even asked me to confirm which photos needed to be printeda clear sign my order hadnt been processed yet. At that point, I told them I no longer wanted the remaining items. This experience had gone from joyful to exhausting.I was directed to schedule an app with client relations to resolve the issue, which I did. However, before the meeting even happened, I received an email saying the remaining items had been shippedcompletely disregarding my request for a refund. I was blindsided and deeply ************* this point, it was Dec, and I had waited months for items I no longer wanted. The company ignored my concerns, gaslit me, and failed to take any accountability for their mistakes. This company seems more focused on making money than providing quality service or resolving customer issues. My experience was tainted by their negligence, lack of accountability, and disregard for my concerns.

  ****,We appreciate your communication and the opportunity to address your concerns. I understand that you have some concerns, and I want to address them with the care and attention they deserve.

  
  Please be advised that you met with your ******** Consultant on August 27th. On August 28th, your images were selected by your ******** Consultant, and later that evening, you requested to add frames. As a result, your ******** Consultant placed a hold on your order to accommodate the framing options.
  
  On September 4th, your order was finalized; however, due to the hold, the system did not automatically process the order, and we apologize for this oversight. Our standard turnaround time is 6-8 weeks, but please note that holidays or additional requests may extend this timeframe to 10 weeks or more.
  
  We understand how important these portraits are to you, and we truly regret the delay. Despite this, your designated artist began working on the High-Resolution Digitals promptly, as they were not affected by the changes. This allowed us to send you the High-Resolution Digitals link on October 29th, within our standard 8-week turnaround time. The portraits require additional time due to the holiday season. However, your (4) complimentary 5x7 prints, (2) 16x20 Wall Art Prints, and (1) 30x40 Wall Art ******** were dispatched to you on November 2nd, and were expected to arrive by November 6th.
  
  According to our systems and the tracking information with images provided by *****, it shows all Wall Art ********s were delivered. Upon being informed that you only received the (1) 30x40 Wall Art ********, ***** promptly contacted our ************** to initiate the reproduction of the missing items. When your items have to be reproduced, this does take longer than two weeks. Usually, 3-4 with production and shipping.
  
  We understand how distressing it must be to not have received the 12x12 Heirloom Storybook for Amara and ******, especially when ***** showed it as delivered with an image on your porch. We know how important it is for you to have these memories safely in your hands. Thats why we provide tracking links, so you can monitor your packages arrival. When you informed us that the package was missing, ***** immediately took action on November 15th to have your artist begin production again, ensuring a reshipment at no cost to you.
  
  According to our policy, once an order is placed, all sales are final. However, when you informed us that you did not receive your items, we took immediate action at no additional cost to ensure you received Amara and Alainas images. After your order was in production, you requested a cancellation. Unfortunately, as per the policy you agreed to, the order cannot be canceled.
  
  Regarding the involvement of multiple representatives, ***** endeavored to assist you to the best of his ability. During his absence, another representative provided support until your request was escalated to his Supervisor. Subsequently, your request for a refund was directed to the Client Relations Representative.
  
  We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and we were committed to making sure you received your Storybook as soon as possible, which is why you received tracking information once the production stage ended. We completely understand your frustration, and we genuinely want to make things right for you. Your Client Relations Representative was ready to meet with you on December 8th; they were there to listen and explore the best options available to you while staying within the parameters of the policy. However, you were unable to meet with them that day.
  
  We are eager to assist you and have made several attempts to reach out. However, each response has been a request for a refund, which we are unable to fulfill due to the order being processed, shipped, and received in accordance with the original terms of your purchase.

  I am rejecting this response because it is completely untrue. The merchant claims there was a delay due to the holiday season, which is a blatant lie. My portraits were taken at the end of August there were no holidays during that time that would justify over a month-long delay. They are acting as if this took place around Thanksgiving or Christmas, which would understandably cause delays, but that is simply not the case.
  
  
  Why should I have to chase down a company that was quick to take my money just to get basic updates on my order? That has been my issue from the start this business only cares about itself. Yes, they provided tracking numbers, but I have also provided proof that their claims are false. They even tried to tell me that a package was stolen off my porch, which is a complete lie because I have security cameras covering my front door and the surrounding area.
  
  
  As for the remainder of my order, I requested to cancel it because of the constant back-and-forth. I had to repeatedly follow up since no one at this company took the initiative to update me. When I spoke to *****, he was still confirming which pictures to use for printing proving that nothing had been processed at that point. I made it crystal clear that I no longer wanted the order due to their negligence. Instead of taking accountability, they gaslit me at every turn. Not once did they apologize or attempt to make things right.
  
  
  After they took seven grand from me, they stopped responding when I tried to resolve the issue. When I originally set up my customer service appointment, it was to get a refund but instead of honoring that, they went behind my back and sent the portraits I explicitly told them I did not want.
  
  
  This company is a scam. They take money from hardworking people with no intention of delivering quality service. They refuse to take responsibility, and they never offered the compensation I rightfully deserve for this nightmare of an experience.
  
  
  I will not stop until I get my money back. This company needs to be held accountable.

  More Information...Our initial reply was extremely detailed and she says she will not stop rejecting our answers until she gets her refund. I am not sure how long the BBB lets cases go on before closing them?
  We did get their digitals within the 8 week time frame and her wall art was delivered after that. We created a reprint from her which is why she is referencing that ***** asked her which portraits needed to be sent. He only wanted her to confirm what she had received. We have provided tracking and the verified delivered images from ***** showing all packages on her front porch. Here was our BBB reply that she has rejected:

  This was done starting in september then november and promised to be delivered before christmas. It was not. I emailed (email provided) and they tried to blame it on someone else to not own up to what they did. I proved that not only did we pay off one of them, but the other is up to date on payments. We have done everything that was required of us. We paid way too much money for these, and were scammed throughout the process. Now this. We paid around $7500 when all was said and done. Two were on credit and the rest was from our savings. They have not tried to resolve the issues, but tried to put it on someone else because they did not hold up their end. It is a lie and another scam to say that is why they did not provide our photos when promised. I saw and advertisement on ********, and even that was a scam.

  Tell us why here...Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced and would be pleased to discuss this matter further with you.We understand that there may have been some confusion regarding the advertisement you mentioned, and we genuinely want to help clarify any misunderstandings. From your account, we see an initial $25 payment, which is a standard contribution per participant, donated to our charity of the month. Additionally, it appears that during checkout, you chose to upgrade your complimentary 8x10 Gift Print to an 11x14 Wall Art ******
  
  To provide additional clarity on your order itself, please note that an order is processed as a single entity. When utilizing split payments, such as one personal card and two through financing, the order is still dispatched as a single shipment. Any delay in payment can result in a delay of the entire order. I can confirm that the total amount for your order is $4,200, with two third-party accounts of $1,500 each, totaling $3,000, and one payment on a personal card of $1,200. Any additional charges, as mentioned in your correspondence, would be managed through your financing agreement and are subject to the terms you accepted when opting for external financing.The policy, which was reviewed during your Zoom call and subsequently sent to both you and **** for agreement, clearly states that it is your responsibility to adhere to the agreements made with your lender. For specific details regarding your agreement, please communicate directly with your lender.
  
  Once finalized, contracts are binding and cannot be canceled, altered, or refunded.We appreciate you providing us with the information from your third-party financing company and acknowledge that your portion has been settled. However, there were two accounts involved, and the issue arose because the second account was not current. The third-party financing company has the authority to halt production if payments are not made promptly, which is the situation in this case. Please be aware that there can be processing delays when using a third-party financing company.We apologize if you felt that we have not fulfilled our obligations or attempted to assist you. Upon your contact on December 28th, we reached out to your third-party financing company and successfully lifted the hold on your order. Your order is currently in production and has been since December 29th. You were sent an email on December 29th, which was opened and confirmed, updating your address on file.
  
  Regarding your comment about the images not being provided as promised, our policy, which you signed, states that standard orders typically arrive within 6 to 8 weeks once fully paid, while special orders may take 8 to 10 weeks. This timeline can also be affected by Holiday Seasons. Given that your order was placed in November, a peak period, there are expected delays. Your order is on track to be delivered within the 8-10 week timeframe.

  I am rejecting this response because:   We were never late with a payment for anything and we proved it. You are still trying to say we did something instead of owning up to your mistake. I verified the address, and I still have not received anything. We have done everything, and paid everything on time, but yet per said signed contract you failed to hold up your end of the agreement. It has now been over a week, and you STILL have yet to fulfill your end of the agreement. How is this going to be remedied? I am beyond disappointed with this whole thing, and regret I ever did it because of the fact you made something that should have been fun and easy into a disaster. I would like this to be made right, and to get her pictures and the book we ordered, which we paid an insane amount of money for, now. Again, this was not on us. Own up to your fumble, and stop trying to put it on someone else. If there was a hold we should have been notified, but we were not.

However, there were two accounts involved, and the issue arose because the second account was not current. The third-party financing company has the authority to halt production if payments are not made promptly, which is the situation in this case. Please be aware that there can be processing delays when using a third-party financing company.We apologize if you felt that we have not fulfilled our obligations or attempted to assist you. Upon your contact on December 28th, we reached out to your third-party financing company and successfully lifted the hold on your order. Your order is currently in production and has been since December 29th. You were sent an email on December 29th, which was opened and confirmed, updating your address on file.

  I am rejecting this response because:   It is clear that this business does not care that it screwed up, and has not made anything right. It saddens me that this is the way they do business. They can't even apologize correctly without trying to blame someone else. I really hope other people see this before they get scammed as well. You do everything right as a customer, but get blamed by a company for their failing. Honestly at this point I just want my money back and forget the whole thing. Nothing but negativity from this company, and I will make sure all my friends and family knows it. My poor daughter is the one who really got screwed over in this whole mess. She is the one who this company should apologize for for their failing to hold up their end of the agreement. I still don't have the book, the pictures, or anything. I did finally get an email with pictures, but they were watermarked. I will not promote this business in any way after this, so there is no way I am using them. They also looked rushed, and not like the ones they promote. I am just shocked by everything that we were put through only to get half-done pictures. It was supposed to be a fairy tale, and it ended up being a huge nightmare that seems to have no end.

  Is this a joke? Please tell me this is a joke...... I am at a loss for words. I am about to make a case at small claims court over this now. First, why just WHY does something think that dragon and the placement looks good? Second, we were lied to saying the sword was going to "glow" like Sting in Lord of the Rings. Clearly that is not the case. Third, WHY ARE THERE WATERMARKS?!?!?! We paid WAY too much to have freaking WATERMARKS anywhere on any of the photos! We have a paper stating we own them! No... just no... Fourth, my poor baby... that does not look like the picture we were shown and chose, or we would not have chosen it. That does not look like her... They could have fixed her other eye. I know how easy it is to fix! There is no way I am going to EMBARRASS her and put that on any wall or give it to anyone. Fifth (wow...), none of them are placed correctly on the boards (when we were told it was just all one thing, not the picture glued onto a board...). They are all off center. I just can't even. I still don't have the book, and honestly I am SCARED to even look at it after all of this... I am sure there is more, but honestly I am so done. So done. I am in tears over all of this. I just want my money back, and pretend like we never did this. I can't use any of this.

  Mia,

  Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.  I deeply regret the experience you had with us, and we are wholeheartedly committed to making things right for you.
  
  
  Could you please send me portraits of the art prints you received?  We will ensure that they are indeed centered. If you have any concerns about the magic and enchantment of your portraits, please let me know, and I will forward your concerns in a correction request to your artist! 
  
  
  You will also receive proofing with your correction so that you can view and approve the changes.
  
  
  Regarding the watermark, the Enchanted Fairies logo is typically included in the lower right corner of each portrait. If you prefer not to include the logo, we are more than happy to honor your request! Instead of the logo, we could include our master artist's signature.  Or as a third option, we do not have to add the logo or signature to the corner at all. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
  
  
  We have attempted to reach you on several occasions by phone (voicemail messages were left by our EC assistant Manager) and by email. The latest was on Feb 10, 2025.

  AVOID ENCHANTED FAIRIES AT ALL COSTS - A Horrific Upselling Experience Rating: 1/5 stars (and that's being generous)I'm still fuming after my disastrous experience with Enchanted Fairies, a photography company that promises affordable, magical portraits of your children. What they don't tell you is that the initial $25 per child fee is just a bait-and-switch tactic to get you in the door.The photoshoot itself was pleasant, and the photographer seemed competent. However, the nightmare began when I was presented with the "package options" for purchasing the portraits. For two separate portraits of my daughters, I was quoted an outrageous price of over $1,000. When I declined, they "generously" offered me one free 8x10 portrait and the second one for a whopping $200.When I expressed my dissatisfaction and refusal to participate in what felt like a scam, the sales representative spoke to me in a condescending tone, making me feel belittled and disrespected. To add insult to injury, they didn't even offer to reimburse me for the initial $50 fee.This experience, which should have been a beautiful and joyful one, turned out to be a stressful and humiliating ordeal. I strongly advise parents to avoid Enchanted Fairies and their predatory business practices. There are plenty of other reputable photography companies that will treat you with respect and ***************** your money and your sanity steer clear of Enchanted Fairies.

  I had a beautiful experience taking my girls to get their pictures taken in princess dresses unknowing how much the price would be for these photos. I had an appointment on zoom to see and be able to purchase some pics. Come to find out, they had packages from $2k $5k 7500k, way out of my budget. The lady on the zoom continued to pressure me into getting something -anything and finally convinced me to FINANCE a couple of photos for $1085 in payments of $300. After the second payment I decided what I had already told her - I cant afford this. So I called and they told me their policy is no cancellations no refunds. Mind you , Im not getting these pics until fully paid and I am unable to pay and the only thing they are willing to do is defer my payment and product until I can pay. They told me that even a supervisor cannot cancel my order and now I am going through a dispute with my bank. How baffling to not help out a single mother of 2 with my own money and for product I dont have. Now they keep my $600 and the photos. Not customer service friendly at all.

  ******,Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us. We truly understand that our prices might seem higher, and we want you to know that this is because we are committed to using the finest materials and providing exceptional quality, which is also supported by our Lifetime warranty.
  
  We strive to be as transparent as possible about our pricing, and thats why we have detailed our a la carte options on the investment tab of our website for you to review before booking a photo session.I went ahead and thoroughly reviewed your order and your Photo Premiere call with your Portrait Consultant because quality assurance is incredibly important to us, so we do everything we can to ensure we deliver on what is promised to our guests.
  
  During your Zoom call, your Portrait Consultant presented you with multiple options. Approximately 48 minutes into the call, they also confirmed that you receive your 8x10 Gift print either way and no additional purchase was necessary. The policy was also displayed and read to you, clearly stating that once an order is placed, it cannot be canceled, changed, or refunded. You then proceeded to place the order using an In-House Payment Plan.
  
  When you met with one of our Client Relations Representatives over Zoom on December 12th, they took the time to explain the policy, which you signed, agreeing to the terms. They also expressed an understanding of how life can change unexpectedly. I am truly sorry if you felt that we were not focused on customer service. We genuinely strive to support our clients, which is why we offered to defer your payments to give you some breathing room and adjust your payment plan to an amount that is more manageable to you at this time. We sincerely want to assist you, but we also need to follow the policy that was agreed upon.
  
  This is why we explored different options to find a way to help. Your 8x10 Gift Print is shipped before the payment is completed, but our policy of not shipping the full order until the payment plan is fulfilled was communicated during the call.During your Zoom call, you opted not to proceed with the alternative options presented, and the order remained unchanged.
  
  Should you decide to reconsider your payment plan or defer payments, please respond to the email sent by your Client Relations Representative, as we are still willing to honor the previous offer. Please be aware that with an active dispute, we must await its resolution before proceeding with any further adjustments.

  I am rejecting this response because:   
  This is not an option. If you review the zoom call I honestly felt pressured into spending the money. I told her multiple times I cant afford any of it and she had me explore financial options which all came back declined. The only option you are giving me right now is BUY the pictures now or later. I cant afford this at all. Per good customer service and I am asking as a single mother of 2 to return the money I already paid and I dont need the pics I cant afford. I will not be accepting the mail once the free picture arrives if that is the problem. Thanks

  The shoot went great. The disaster started afterward. This has been by far the most unprofessional company I can remember dealing with. After the photoshoot you are scheduled for a zoom call to review the photos. Once you set that appointment you get reminders that if you cancel it you will forfeit any offers. The morning of our zoom call just an hour before its scheduled time, they canceled without explanation. Now they expect us to wait another 4-6 weeks to be rescheduled with no guarantees that they wont do this again. I would not recommend. Currently working with **** to cancel payment for our photoshoot since this was a waste of everyones time

  Business Response

  Thank you so much for reaching out, and for the opportunity to work with your fairy in the studio. It was an absolute joy to have her there, and she truly shone with our photographer! The images turned out beautifully, and we cant wait to share them with you. Wed love for you to be able to choose your favorite photo to cherish forever.
  
  I understand that there was an emergency with your original portrait consultant on the day of your scheduled premiere on 11/26. We made every effort to accommodate you that day by offering a rescheduled time on the same date. Since that option wasnt suitable, we proposed the next available time, but I understand it didnt work for you either.
  
  We sincerely hope to find a time that works for you soon, as were excited to continue the magical experience with your little one. Please let us know a time that would be most convenient, and well ensure were ready to make it a special moment for both of you.

  I am rejecting this response because:   Rescheduling 6-8 weeks down the line isnt reasonable accommodations when it was your staffs fault the event was canceled.  At this point we would just like our money back for the photoshoot since nothing will come of it 

  Business Response

  Date: 12/14/2024

  Thank you for your reply. However, due to an unforeseen emergency involving your original portrait consultant, your viewing session scheduled for November 26th at 12 PM Eastern had to be canceled. At that time, we offered you alternative dates of either December 12th or 13th, which would have been approximately 16 days later. We also reached out to let you know that we could still accommodate you at the same 12 PM Eastern time on November 26th, but you declined.
  
  Were happy that your fairy was able to enjoy her magical photo session, and the pictures turned out beautifully, so services were rendered.
  
  However, you chose to upgrade your complimentary gift print image, and we will reach out to you directly regarding the status of that charge.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 12/15/2024

  I am rejecting this response because:   I never upgraded anything. After our initial photo shoot the only communication we received was about you canceling our zoom meeting. You the. Tried to reschedule that meeting for 12pm at 11:45 when had already adjusted my schedule due to your canceling the meeting that morning.   There were no services rendered if Im not receiving any photos. You just took pictures for you to use to promote your business. 

  Business Response

  Date: 02/18/2025

  Thank you for your feedback. As requested, you upgraded your complimentary 8x10 gift print to an 11x14 size. The one-hour in-studio session with your personal photographer was provided. Weve processed a refund of $147 for the upgrade and $25 for the in-studio fee. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

  A purchase was made on or about 11/9/24 marketed as an investment. The Enchanted Fairies webpage misleads and deceives customers by marketing their products as an investment, stating, Most of our clients invest between $1000-$3000...Some families invest $10,000+. A business can set prices as they wish, however in this case the high prices provide evidence of marketing their products as valuable investments. They further emphasize the investment value of their work through their claim, We are a Fine Art *********** studio. When the purchase was made I expected the items to maintain, if not increase in value over time as an investment would. Unfortunately, after research I found the claims made by Enchanted Fairies misleading. Although the artwork is designed by a professional artist who meticulously works on each image you select for your collection and infuse the magic and artistry, this does not make the item a unique or scarce asset but instead part of a broad collection of commissioned pieces with no established resale market contradicting the company's representation of my purchase as an investment. This experience has left me feeling misled as I made the purchase based on inaccurate information that led me to believe it was an investment. The *************************** practices regarding commissioned art pieces as investments are deceptive. The website also creates the impression a portion of each sale is donated to charity, leading customers to believe our purchases are supporting a worthy cause. When I made my purchase I was influenced by this charitable messaging displayed prominently on the website. However, after noting the investment issue I reviewed the **** and and there is no clear or transparent mechanism of their charitable proceeds. I believe this advertising approach is intentionally deceptive, as it exploits customers' goodwill and desire to support charitable causes.

  I am rejecting this response because:  the majority of the response is their marketing and sales material. I did not ask for the sales pitch. They did not address the fact their sales practices and marketing are misleading and deceitful. They explained their charitable contributions, but again refused to address the misleading attributions that proceeds from sales go directly to charitable causes. 
  

  I did agree to the purchase under the belief this was an investment and a portion of my purchase went to charitable causes. After the purchase I discovered both of these beliefs to be incorrect due to the misleading advertising which is again noted in their response of an investment of a personalized portrait. There is no secondary market value and these pieces will not increase in value no matter the materials used.

  Package was purchased 11/9/24 by my wife. She reported purchase indicating her understanding she was making an investment with a portion benefiting charity. Upon review of the website, they make false claims of an "investment" in what is basically a "commissioned piece of art." ********* to ******************-legal information institute, "An investment is the purchase of a financial instrument (such as stocks, bonds and bank products) or an asset with the purpose of producing income for the purchaser through profit or generating more business in the future." This is deceptive as commissioned personalized art of family has no expectation of generating income or profit, what evidence of a secondary market for these items is there? Upon review of her report of benefiting charity, the website and hardcopy promotional materials suggest purchases led to a charitable contribution. This is also deceptive and misleading as according to the website only specific situational purchases lead to a direct charitable contribution. Both of these misleading claims are deceptive. After explaining this information to my wife, the purchaser, she wants to cancel the order. We were told there is an "all sales final" policy, which my wife confirmed she was told this on the sales call, however she feels mislead by the investment and charitable support claims.
