Comments about the snarkiness or quality of the sample photo chosen for the ad aside... I've been starting to see this trend with GroupOn and Living Social.... photo sessions that don't promise 2 hours and 200 images on CD... this is actually just a single look session with a handful of small prints... he's left himself plenty of room for upsell.

I'm glad to see less "everything you want out of a session" deals and more like these lately..
