Michelle is so passionate about her art. I found her on Instagram & I was blown away by how her…read morephotos made me feel - I knew I wanted her to take photos of my family as well. Her work is a cut above in the emotional factor. The poses she chooses aren't typical and this results in real feeling coming out in the final product vs. stilted fake smiles. I did an email consult with her. I told her my most important thing was to get great shots of my 7 year old son & I. I missed out on newborn photos and I've always regretted that. I told Michelle this, and boy, did she deliver. I bought the premium package that came with a keepsake album. When I opened the lovely box it came in, I immediately was overcome with tears. She captured everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I needed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Michelle! I love my photos. I will treasure them for the rest of my life. ...She also offered styling advice for this style-challenged Mom. She suggested 3 websites to buy clothes from. I ended up ordering a dress online that she recommended & It was so lovely and perfect. I love the way I look in my pictures. That was a nice touch that I wasn't expecting. I've found my forever photographer!

This was our second photo shoot done with Michelle. My first ones was a maternity shoot and I…read moreloooved them! We only have some not so great photos of our family taken on our phones and just wish we had 1 good photo of us to put in a frame at home or send out to friends and family. So we decided to do another shoot again with Michelle, since our first shoot came out so lovely and I still love them to this day! My husband is always hesitant about photos as well and hates getting them done, but Michelle makes it really easy for everyone involved, including my toddler! I can't recommend Michelle enough, especially those with kids as she made it quick and easy and the photos came out even better than expected! They are so beautiful, yet again! Not only was the shoot quick and easy, but we didn't have to wait forever to actually get our photos. Honestly, I can't recommend her enough, she's so sweet, easy going, and professional and really has a great eye for photos!! You won't regret getting photos done with Michelle!

We hired this company twice for real estate photography, and after both experiences I would NOT…read morerecommend them. Their photography and editing process relies heavily on bracketing, HDR processing, AI techniques, and outsourced post-production, resulting in photos that looked extremely overprocessed, artificial, and nothing like the home. The editing seemed to compensate for shortcomings in the photography itself. If the images were properly captured and processed, they shouldn't require this level of manipulation. Instead, the final product looked fake, with unrealistic colors and heavy-handed edits. After waiting eight weeks, we still couldn't use the photos to list our home. The biggest issue wasn't just the low quality--it was getting anyone to fix the mistakes. The salesperson, Kate, was genuinely kind and promised all the right things in the beginning, but once the project reached production, communication completely fell apart. We had productive phone calls. I sent detailed lists of corrections with screenshots, then received responses saying they were completed. Then, discovered only part of the list had actually been addressed. This happened repeatedly, requiring constant follow-up. Our Matterport and Zillow tours had mislabeled rooms, and an entire back portion of the house was missing from the floor plans. By the time those issues were finally corrected, we had exchanged 43+ emails and dozens of phone calls over six weeks, and each revision still only fixed part of the list. We finally got the floor plans and tours close enough to done. The photos still weren't right. Some were oversaturated, including a completely fake "dusk" shot that was not actually taken at dusk--it had a pink sky added along with a dirty darkening filter that made the street in front of the house look grimy. We were charged extra for that. Other areas of the home appeared smeared from AI processing, while the brass hardware pulls on the primary closet and bathroom were grayed out. The most baffling example: our white walls kept coming back gray. I even requested the RAW files to understand what was happening during the editing process. The RAW files showed that the original color information was accurate--the walls were white and off-white and the colors were natural. The unrealistic gray walls and closets were introduced during editing and no one would fix it. After several weeks of back-and-forth, I asked to speak directly with Cody, the owner and fellow real estate professional, who explained that his editing team had decided to make them gray because a previous property we had photographed with them had gray walls. I was astounded --- he promised it would be corrected in the next round of revisions and he'd get back to me. He never did. I went back to Marylou in production and waited for days. First, she claimed my email went into her spam folder. Kate caught that, so immediately texted me to make sure I knew it was being worked on. 5 days later, another set of revisions came back - everything still gray, previously removed shadows were added back in, edits we had updated this far were now gone - back to square one. The low quality photos we received look nothing like these examples shown on this Yelp page. Our first project had similar issues, but Cody had stepped in and made corrections early on so I certainly didn't expect to have this happen again. We experienced the same problems again - the quality issues, unrealistic edits, and need for extensive corrections were repeated by his off shore editing team. The lack of quality control and endless revision cycle were, in my opinion, profoundly unprofessional - especially considering that Cody and his team were all made aware that my husband is the Realtor and that we are selling this home. I'd hate to think this was intentional. This wasn't just an inconvenience. Because we couldn't get usable marketing materials for nearly two months, we missed a critical listing window. We requested a refund due to the proven quality issues and ongoing revisions that were not resolved over 8 weeks of time, but Cody refused. If you're a homeowner or Realtor with a time-sensitive listing, I would NEVER hire this company. We gave them every opportunity to make things right and still ended up without photographs we could use to market our home. UPDATE: Cody was not professional enough to return my husband's call -- as if ignoring all these mistakes means his team had done a "good enough" job. You all can see the mistakes in the photos below - it's NOT about 'satisfaction'. You decide if desaturated, AI mistakes are what you want when listing your home. See the silver handle, why can't they fix these simple mistakes?https://projects.truvueproductions.com/listings/019e7f23-2c00-7188-be5d-2443091576d2/download-center#&gid=1&pid=26 Cody NEVER reviewed these photos after asked 3x. Where are the photos from the 2nd trip there?

One day in May, I decided that it was time to "jump" into scheduling a head shot photo appointment. I was pleased with the quick response (same day!) and Rachel's willingness to meet with me prior to leaving out of town the following week. There was no rush for my request. I was open to meeting with her upon her return. At the head shot photo appointment, Rachel was easy to speak with. She was open to getting to know me and my upcoming business journey, which I really appreciated. I felt at ease and a sense of trust and confidence. She was great with giving me direction and helped with fixing my bangs/hair when they wanted to go their every-which-way. I was impressed with the quick turnaround. I viewed and downloaded my photos the following day! Overall, I highly recommend Rachel for head shot photos! You won't be disappointed!

We originally scheduled an outdoor maternity shoot with her, however the weather turned out to be a bit unforgiving due to the high winds and cold temperatures (but this had no affect on her shots whatsoever-she continued to worked her magic). Due to the weather, Olia was SO incredibly kind and gifted us a complimentary studio session so would get our dream shots of our first born. Additionally, she encouraged us to bring our pup to the studio session because she knew how much he was apart of our little family. Sometimes he can be a handful, but he LOVED Olia and she was so loving toward him. These made these shots extra special!
