More of an old fashioned get to know you process with phone calls. We spoke with Kempton for all of that. He was attentive and helpful with juggling our schedules. Brett worked so well with our kids. He is perceptive and masterful. Our session was chaotic but he didn't miss a beat. The unveiling was super cool. We walked into the studio to see our painting on the easel in all of its glory. I'm not usually a crier but it really got me. This portrait will always hold a special place in our family.

I had the same experience with this business as many others who are commenting that when you have a…read morevoucher you paid for as part of a charity auction, you aren't a priority. I paid for a voucher worth 2k at a recent charity event. When I called to schedule, the woman I spoke with (I assume she is the office manager) could not have been ruder. When I mentioned what I was looking for - a portrait of our family dog, she told me they don't do pet portraits. She then told me they used to do animals, but no longer do them. Below is dog portrait on the Lubin site, which I exhaustively looked through prior to buying the voucher at auction. I then asked her if she could show me where the policy was listed online and she got irritated and said, "if you can't find it, I don't know what to tell you." Following that comment, I asked to speak to one of the artists to see if they would make an exception and she offered to connect me with him in mid-July, which at the time was three months away. I was literally taken aback by the treatment and that she would not work to find 10 minutes for a call with Mr. Lubin so that I could understand a bit more about the policy, which is nowhere to be found online. When I asked her why they changed the policy, (which again is not on their website) she said she didn't know. I also have to laugh because there are many reviews on here and on Google about the rude staff - one customer below described her poor experience, and she actually had portraits of her dogs done. I finally just chalked the whole experience up to making a very nice donation to the charity but have encouraged them to not work with Lubin again. If this business does not want to talk to customers who have vouchers with respect, then they should not donate vouchers to local charities. Additionally, they really need to make their policies clear and not false advertise. Very poor experience. Do not recommend.

I recently transitioned into a consulting role. My professional photos were all super old and not…read moreall that professional (picture of me at a fundraiser with people's arms on my shoulders). I decided it was time to get some proper headshots. I called Motophoto on River Road and they referred me to this place. I booked an appointment over the phone which was super easy. I had to reschedule my appointment multiple times due to personal issues; they could not have been more accommodating, even when I needed to make a same day change. Kayla, the photographer, is amazing at what she does. She used a series of backdrops and different lighting so I had plenty of pictures to choose from. All the photos taken were uploaded to an online gallery, where I could then pick which ones I wanted. On one of my pictures my tie was slightly off and my collar was sticking up. Kayla was able to edit the pictures so they came out perfectly! Everyone at my firm is asking me where I got my headshots done. The other thing I wanted to mention was price. I called a few different places and Stone Photography had the best prices by far. If I need any kind of photography done in the future, I will come back here. Thanks Kayla!

SO pleased with this business! Our son's school uses them for yearbook and other photos. Our son…read morerecently sat for his senior photo at the school and they just did not come out well at all. The lighting was not great and some of the poses did not look very natural. I called and they agreed to do a retake at the studio without charging us a second time. Even more impressive, the owner herself did the photo shoot for our son, made sure the lighting was great and even showed me a few of the shots to be sure we were pleased. She totally gets it that these are important life events and having the best photos can make all the difference. This kind of customer service is too rare nowadays.

I've had the pleasure of working with Elyse on a number of photo shoots. Initially, she took…read morematernity photos and then photos of my newborn daughter. Ultimately, I happily used Elyse to capture my business. As a local small business owner, Elyse encouraged me to develop a branding strategy that would tell a story on my business website and social media outlets. I really wanted the photos to enhance my mission, but also show the real me! We worked in a professional studio setting where Elyse took hundreds of photos over the course of 5 hours. There was no rushing and I felt so heard! She did an amazing job of listening to what I wanted, while also suggesting ideas that would make my vision that much better. It's obvious Elyse puts a lot of time and hard work into delivering quality photos. During post production she clearly takes the extra hours to comb through the details-things that I wouldn't normally deem important (ie symmetry, complimentary colors, and proper lighting.) She is a perfectionist, so I trusted that she would take the time to make sure I'd be happy with the end result. One of the biggest differences between Elyse and most other photographers that I've worked with is this: she makes you feel super comfortable while guiding you on how to pose. As a woman this is so crucial because it's really difficult to find a flattering stance. I never know how to stand or smile! I also have a hard time just looking natural. Elyse helped me figure this out in like 5 minutes! It always felt like Elyse had my back when creating images for me and my brand. I couldn't recommend her more. Aside from being super knowledgeable in her field, she truly has an eye for what looks incredible and I would recommend her to anyone who wants the very best photos.

I cannot express how pleased I was with the overall outcome of the images. Not only were the images wonderfully captured, but they really gave my portfolio and website a professional edge. I have also received endless complements about the intimate portraits she captured and that I have since utilized these on ALL my social media accounts-- (i swear her photos have upped my follower count!) Elyse has a unique way of looking at things, and an eye for creative capture. As a creative myself, I admire her talent and look for this quality in a photographer. Beyond her talent, she is a gentle, fun-loving personality that is super easy to work and fun to be around. I cannot wait to work with Elyse again!!

You should be aware that the owner (Mary) is not the photographer. She has no knowledge of, or…read morecontrol over, the photographer's work. I cannot recommend this photographer. I paid $450 for professional photography for my daughter's first birthday, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that cost over $7,000. I trusted this photographer to capture such a special occasion, but the final gallery was extremely disappointing. Many of the photos were taken from low, unflattering angles, had poor composition, or were unnecessarily repetitive. Several important moments were either missed or not captured well. What was even more disappointing was the response afterward. When I raised my concerns, the photographer claimed that the angles had been "edited to eye level." That explanation made little sense. While editing can adjust exposure, color, and cropping, it generally cannot change the original camera angle or perspective. A photo taken from a low angle cannot realistically be transformed into an eye-level shot through editing alone. The photographer also failed to avoid obvious reflections in people's eyeglasses. Can you imagine paying $450 for professional photos, only to receive images in which bright white glare obscures people's eyes and faces? Instead of acknowledging the problems or offering a reasonable solution, Mary, the owner, refused to take responsibility or provide a refund. This was my daughter's once-in-a-lifetime first birthday, and after spending over $7,000 on the celebration, I expected professional-quality photographs that would preserve those memories. Unfortunately, both the quality of the photographs and the customer service fell far below my expectations.

We were operating under a tight timeframe to plan a memorial service, and the team at Lasting Impressions Photography handled it seamlessly. Mary was exceptional to work with -- she was highly responsive, helpful, and ensured great communication, which was vital given our quick turnaround. Kevin was also wonderful.

His professional and respectful approach made us feel very comfortable during a difficult time. Many thanks to Lasting Impressions Photography for delivering high-quality photos for our family that we will cherish.
