I don't know if Eliseo rushed through my photos or what. He said they all had minor editing/retouching, but I don't think that's the case. All my photos (all 500-600 of them) have yellow/dark lighting and my photos have the backdrop cut off. Unfortunately, I can't use most of these photos because of the poor quality. When sharing the photos with multiple family members, all commented on the poor quality. It seemed to me that he didn't care about what he was giving me. Unfortunately, the photos look like a compilation of ones people took on their iPhones. I asked Eliseo if there was anything that could be done about the photos. Again, he didn't care to make it right. He told me the photos already had minor retouching. My intention and request was to work with Eliseo to improve my photos. The backdrops were already cut off and there was nothing that could be done about that. However, the lighting could have been modified to make them look less dark and yellow. When I conveyed this to Eliseo, I got a very nasty response back via text saying "I'm a 50x international award winning photographer and if you wanted something different it should have been brought to our attention... as far as professional it does not get any more professional than us thank you". I never in a million years expected this type of disrespectful response and it was very uncalled for. I also didn't know i had to tell a professional photographer to make sure they use good lighting and to not cut off the backdrop. I'm still very upset about everything that happened and again, he didn't even try to make it right. I spent $2,000 for one day photo and video and looking back, I wish I would have picked another photographer. What I will say though, if the lighting on my photos were adjusted and fixed, I would have been okay. The fact that he didn't care to do so and was extremely rude on top of it just left me very dissatisfied.

She was still able to capture beautiful pictures outdoors and make sure I was safe and comfortable. I was also able to have her take family photos which I was nervous about because I have a very energetic two year old and a sometimes fussy 11 month old, but she was patient and creative with my little ones and still able to get great photos of our family despite a few baby tears and a toddler trying to escape every moment! You can tell she loves what she does, puts a lot of time and effort into her business, and cares about her clients, I highly recommend her! Thank you Janaye!

Makenzie's reviews and photos impressed us, so we decided to purchase a mini shoot. Since it was scheduled for 15 minutes, I was anxious about the amount of quality photos we'd get. Makenzie wasted no time. Amiable and professional, she made us feel at ease, directed us on how to pose, and snapped all combinations of our family members (myself, my wife, our baby, and our German Shepherd)-all within 15 minutes! We are elated with our family photos, and she even recommended a helpful site to shop for holiday cards. We're looking forward to working with you in the future, Makenzie. Excellent work!

But I also believe that every woman is immensely beautiful in their own amazing way. We all have a fire within us and many times it just needs a little help and friendly reminder to bring that fire out and show others around you, and prove to YOURSELF that you are amazing. From the moment I started communicating with Stephanie I felt at ease. She was organized, reassuring and helped guide me before I ever even stepped foot in her Downtown Studio. The morning of the shoot I met her and instantly felt her passion and could see it in her eyes that she believed in my own inner beauty. The studio is beautiful and classy, soft and elegant. She brought out a great side of me- strong, fierce and just beautiful. Then to see the results, the photos... I just couldn't believe that was me! The entire session was wonderful. Her professionalism carried through the entire shoot and she was so relaxed and "go with the flow". I strongly recommend that you book with her, she will help inspire your own fire within and help remind you of how beautiful you truly are! Don't forget to follow her on Instagram too, she runs limited booking specials at time. Book a session, I guarantee you (and your partner if your gifting photos to) wont be sorry!

How Filming a Success Story Gave Birth to One…read more In December 2014, my company landed a project with a new client that involved creating a "customer success video" to showcase the use of my client's equipment at one of their customer facilities. That customer was located in Bakersfield, California; I was 3,000 miles away in New York. Since this was both my first time working in the video medium and my very first project with this client, I knew it was crucial to retain the services of an experienced professional. I searched online and made several calls before finding a production house that would work within my budget and that I'd be able to work with remotely on the editing and production process once I returned back home. Fortunately, I found Jeff at Highlights Video Productions. Jeff was already at the customer site when I arrived early the morning of the film shoot, and his tripod was all set up with his camera ready to roll for our first filming sequence. Given that the premises were comprised largely of warehousing space, a small laboratory and a few cubicles, we needed to get creative to produce a visually captivating video that would showcase my client's laboratory instrumentation products and reflect well on both my client and their customer. The small amount of ingenuity we applied during filming and later, the use of external imagery and footage Jeff weaved in during production, paid off well in adding visual appeal that would engage viewers. One I was back in New York, Jeff and I collaborated on editing the hour-long raw footage into a concise 4-minute video that met the project goals. Several cuts were needed before we were ready to debut the video to the client and several more, once executives at the client organization weighed in with their change requests. While there were more edits than either of us anticipated, together we identified the best approaches to making them and creating a testimonial video that made everyone look good. Interestingly enough, the project represented a "first" for all parties involved: It was the first time my client had used video to portray a customer success testimonial; the first time our spokesperson appeared on camera; the first time Jeff and I worked together; and, the first time I worked on a project for this client. Despite all these "maiden voyages," my collaboration with Jeff was a success story of all its own: We received high praise from the client, a global leader in its industry, who described the finished product as "a great video!" also saying, "It's great that we have customers who sing such high praises for our instruments." In addition, their Bakersfield customer also had good things to say about the video, jokingly writing, "You actually made me look like I know what I'm talking about!" Jeff and I had shared both an enjoyable and educational experience collaborating on this project together as I'm sure he'll tell you. In the 6 weeks we worked together to fine-tune the production, Jeff was always accommodating, responsive, creative and resourceful, helping me deliver an excellent project that we're all very proud of. I definitely plan on reaching out to Jeff again on future video production projects and recommend him to anyone looking to "highlight" their corporate or personal brand.
