it is difficult for me to offer even one star for this service. My family was recently blessed to…read morehave five generations. Due to the fact that I have mobility issues, four of my family members took time from work and traveled thousands of miles so we could capture five generation photos. I hired Black Pineapple Photography to capture the photos. We were to receive our digital photos approximately two to three weeks after the shoot. What I received two weeks later was an email from Liz, proprietor of Black Pineapple Photography. The email stated that my money had been refunded and the photos from our family shoot were permanently lost. WHAT? LOST? An email, not even the courtesy of a phone call or any explanation as to what had occurred. You can imagine the disappointment my family members and I experienced. Two days after the receipt of the email and after my granddaughter called Liz and complained I received a phone call with an explanation. Apparently the photographer, who took the pictures, did not change the SIM card following our shoot and shot another event over our session. Beware, as that photographer still is used by this company. There is no way to recover the photos. This error, the lost employment time, air fare, lodging and car rental expenses were great. Needless to say we cannot capture this time again or recoupe the expenses. "Beware of Black Pineapple Photography".

She left it to the owner of the company Elizabeth to have to handle her negligence. I am giving 2 stars ONLY because I do believe Elizabeth was profoundly apologetic and did attempt to recover the photos. Unfortunately a company is only as good as the employees you have working for you and having Claudia there is not it. Beware if you actually want your photos after they are taken.

She stated she would do this if I insisted, but then suggested rescheduling for a later time when I would be comfortable without a mask.

She refused to refund my deposit and is holding it hostage stating use it as a credit for a future session which I have no interest in pursuing.

Our photo shoot came out absolutely perfect. I have gotten a million compliments. I am going to hire her in the immediate future to do another photo shoot with my older boy. I highly suggest you use her if you want somebody who is amazing to work with and an amazing photographer!

We purchased a Groupon for Q Studio not knowing what to expect. When we contacted them to schedule…read morethey were immediately responsive and knew a perfect beach location and pinpointed the best time. When we arrived they were waiting and all set to proceed. They took many, many pics of my wife and I and our daughter's family. In a few short days they sent us the proofs electronically. We spent about a week picking the ones we wanted printed. It was very difficult since so many were truly fabulous. Lorren offered to provide us with all the pictures on a flash drive for a very fair price. I received my selected prints and 2 flash drives about a week later. We were so thrilled with the quality of our experience and the results that we booked them again when my son's family visited. We are waiting for those proofs but are confident that they will be as perfect as the first set. Can't say enough good things about Q Studio.

I will definitely be back to review once we have our pictures because I know they will be amazing!

I called her about 6 weeks before our planned vacation to check her availability. Not only was she prompt about returning my phone call, she was very patient fielding my 101+ questions!! On the day of the shoot, she was very clear with her directions on the beach and our session ran really smoothly. In fact, I was pretty nervous about my energetic 3 year old toddler cooperating, but Stephanie took care of that. She ran around with him and captured some great action shots in the sand and water. When it came time to order photos, it was very difficult to choose. There were so many terrific pictures!! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for family portrait sessions in the Sarasota area.
