She has always captured amazing candid photos of my boys even if the behind the scenes could be tricky. This past spring she also captured my sisters wedding and the photos came out amazing. The ring bearers (which were my boys) may not have posed for many photos but she knows how to work with them and got some very cute/handsome pictures! She is great to work with, super relaxed, and willing to try any ideas thrown her way. I look forward to our yearly session! Thanks Kim! -Hannah R.

My family and I wanted to do a family portrait while on vacation in Maui. So glad I was referred to…read moreBellaEva. They are so easy to work with and I love the online payment application. The location I chose for our shoot was a little difficult to shoot since there was a wedding going on, but they were able to make it work still and they got the shots I really wanted. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to shoot everything we wanted in our hour time frame since we had outfit changes and all, but we fortunately were able to get everything we wanted out of the shoot in the hour we had. We were beyond pleased with how the photos turned out! We received the photos two weeks from the shoot.

They were extremely easy to work with from the start, readily available, and very responsive. I contacted them through email via their website and they responded within the hour. Their website is very organized, thorough, and user-friendly. We worked with Florian for our family photo session. We happened to be in Maui for a family trip and wanted to take advantage of the beautiful beaches/scenery and also remember our time there. My husband and I have a 3-year-old girl and a 3 month old boy. As any parent can tell you, this mix can be a recipe for disaster. On the day of our session, my daughter was in a terrible mood and was very uncooperative. Florian kept his cool and remained kind and patient the whole time. He did everything he could to make my daughter feel comfortable. In the end, she eventually warmed up but my husband and I were discouraged and were praying for just one decent shot. With their many clients and busy schedule, BellEva had a quick turnaround time. They delivered our images within a week. When we clicked the link, we were absolutely blown away by the images. Florian is a true miracle worker and was able to capture around 100 shots. The images were all very beautiful and organic and definitely depicted a typical day in the life of parents with two young kids. He was able to capture the natural and raw emotions of our family. This speaks volumes to the amazing work and talent of BellaEva Photography. It was such a pleasure working with BellaEva. Our family is forever grateful for these memories that they were able to capture for us.

What an amazing experience! I was really nervous about getting photos taken for an upcoming book…read morecover and professional headshots. I'm not what you would call a "girlie girl," so the idea of picking out outfits and posing for photos was completely new and a bit scary for me. We started with a phone call and Michael did a great job of walking me through outfit choices and suggestions. The day of, I met him at his studio. He was absolutely delightful. Professional, respectful, funny, calming, and flattering, the perfect combination to calm you down and make you feel good about yourself. He knew exactly what to say to help me relax and get the shot. What I loved most was the process. Due to the way the studio is set up, we could take a series of photos, then go and sit down and take a look at the photos. This allowed for us to discuss lighting, colors, and positioning. Before taking another series. After I choose the photos I was happy with, Michael "finalized them" with some minor edits and emailed me the final photos. Even then he was willing to make some changes. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Something I initially dreaded turned into an amazing and even fun time. I highly recommend Michael and will definitely return for future photography needs.

Hey you. Yes, YOU. Are you using a selfie for your LinkedIn profile? It's OK. Michael Epaul…read morephotography can fix that. It was time for me to get some corporate headshots and my employer was not about to spend any money in hiring a professional for me. I decided I owed it to myself to put my best face forward. I searched for portrait photographers with a studio in Springfield, and Michael Epaul came up. First, I will say, that this trend of photographers not having a studio baffles me. I would never consider someone a professional if they did not have a professional work space! That being said, Michael Epaul Photography has a gorgeous, cozy studio, so you don't have to worry about a setting. For the ladies, or anyone interested, hair & makeup can be added to your session. This worked out well because it took the pressure off me of having to arrive at the studio in perfect condition. And then the headshots began. From start to finish, the process was streamlined. Prompt communication via text and/or email worked very well. I was given about 20 pictures to choose from; I picked one and was given 2 versions of it. And don't tell anyone, but....Michael was able to ahem....touch up things about me in a natural way (aka he took away the 10 lbs the camera adds). Overall, very satisfied with this portrait session and look forward to doing business with this photographer in the future. NOTE: on site parking, accepts credit cards, and photographer does more than just portraits (weddings mitzvahs and more!)

Brian was flexible, willing to listen and shoot any ideas that were given to him.

It did not take long at all to get this box and subsequently the digital access to all of our pictures! We would recommend Brian again and again!

I found his website from a google search and I am glad I did. It was easy to pay for a session on-line. Then I printed a copy of his homepage and put it in a birthday card. The next day I got a call from Brian saying he had received payment for a family session. He then asked me what I was looking for. We decided on going to Look Park for the shoot as we like the outdoors; we got married there too so it was fitting. We made an appointment to meet at the park at noon. My family and I arrived at the garden house parking lot at 11:50. Brian drove into the lot at 11:52; he had already driven around the park to scope out some places that would make for good pictures. He was very punctual. We brought a few of our son's favorite stuffed toys and a blanket. Brian opened his trunk and surprised us with a set of balloons and a cute wooden chair for him to sit it. That was cool. We made the plan of parking by the visitors center and we would walk the loop of the park and take pictures as we go. You can see our photos on his website (http://proofs.halechannel.com/shade) Brian is very laid back and go with the flow kind of guy. We experienced no stress and no pressure with the photo shoot. We did not want a lot of posed pictures; we wanted more casual and laid back ones. Brian was very good at giving us that little bit of direction that made the photos look so much better. He listened to what we wanted and he helped us get exactly what we wanted. He seemed very knowledgeable about photography. I don't know much about photography, but he would explain to us the different lighting of the sun and knew what scenes made the best pictures. Brian was fun to work with, easy to communicate with (email, over the phone and in person) and he knew what he was doing. We really love his website. All the photos are available for everyone to see and you can buy all sorts of things with the pictures on them (prints of all sizes, coffee mugs, cards, shirts, stamps etc.) I highly recommend Brian for your photo needs.

If you've just received an offer for a free portrait session and are thinking to yourself, "this is…read moretoo good to be true" let me be the one to tell you, IT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. You will be coerced into spending thousands of dollars. Not tens. Not hundreds. Thousands. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "if that's true, how come reviews of this business are so high on Google?" That's because this business painstakingly appeals and removes every negative review. As for the reviews that the owner can't convince Google to delete? She personally threatens the reviewer with a lawsuit. That means that this business only appears to have a positive rating because the owner has hand-picked them and removed the many, many negative ratings. I have nothing to gain from posting this besides to warn people not to end up like me: tricked into spending thousands during a "free" photoshoot and threatened with a lawsuit once I complained. Please be warned: if you've been offered something FREE, get ready for a huge bill.
