Two words for this photographer: Absolutely Fantastic! We…read morevisit Destin every year as our family vacation destination. Last year, we decided to look into hiring a photographer to take our family pictures as we were worried that the BP oil spill could possibly ruin the beautiful white sand beaches of Destin that we love. After looking into a number of photographers, we decided on Expressions Beach Portraits and could not be more pleased. They didn't charge a sitting fee and the deposit we put down went towards our order. The price was incredibly reasonable especially considering the quality of the professional photos we received. The photographer came and met us at our favorite spot and did a great job getting our two toddlers to not only look at the camera, but also smile while looking (something we have yet to be able to do ourselves!) We were able to purchase all our photos in an electronic format and had a hard time deciding which one to feature on our Christmas cards since there were so many great shots to choose from. We have since gone back to Destin and hired Expressions Beach Portraits to do another session a couple of months ago. The quality of experience, convenience and product were consistent with our first experience. We plan to have Expressions shoot all our future family vacation photos. If you're looking for a great photographer at a great price, look no further and call Expressions Beach Photographers - you won't regret it!

We scheduled a 30 min session with Personal Touch Photography (John) to take family photos at…read moreHenderson Beach. He was friendly and laid back and gave good direction during the session. Our little one can be difficult to get to smile for photos and he was able to capture some really pretty photos of her playing in the sand/water with a big grin on her face, that we will treasure. The next day he texted us a preview collage and then emailed a link to our online gallery a little over a week later. Our total cost was around $275, a reduced military rate I believe (with 25% down to get on his schedule). Personal Touch Photography was much more affordable than other photographer's rates I compared in the area for similar services.

I hired her for a family session on 8/1, I had still not received any pictures to view four weeks later! I contacted her and ask her when I would be seeing my pictures, she had several excuses and then sent them that evening. To say they were horrible is an understatement! We do photo shoots often, two or three a year and I have never been disappointed! She knows nothing about using the camera other than just a point and shoot! She didn't guide us in any posing or let us know that we need to correct things about our posing. In most of our pictures eyes were closed. Heads were tilted in the wrong direction. Hands and legs were not properly placed. When I addressed this with her, she told me that she is not responsible for those things! As a photographer, you absolutely are responsible for guiding your subject! We don't know what we look like, there's six of us. We need guidance. Her portfolio is either someone else's work or heavily edited! Her pictures on her Facebook are more of an accurate representation of her level, which looks like a person took pictures with their phone! Proceed with caution if you are hiring this person, she is not a photographer! So devastated! This was a destination photo shoot for my daughter's 21st birthday and the pictures are horrible! I consulted a professional editor today, asking if I could send them some pictures to see if they could be salvaged! This is going to cost me money, more money! But I really would like to have some decent pictures. Look elsewhere, there are many photographers in the area.
