He did my birthday dinner pics at an…read moreAirBnB, headshots for my business at my home, then pics a year later with my sororities sisters for our anniversary. Three different environments and each session was amazing. He captured the food, people, in the moment candid, and posed shots perfectly. It helps your photographer out a lot when you come with a "shot list" (list of ideas for how you want to take pics/poses). For my business photos I did 3 outfit changes and the vibes never became dull throughout our hours together, which is so needed for this process. During our shoot with my sorority sisters on campus, he made all 4 of us feel comfortable and that's just a gift. He's hilarious, personable, and makes you feel super comfortable behind the camera. He has consistently turned pics around in less than 2 weeks. Shane is my go to photographer and I truly appreciate all that he does and who he is to capture meaningful moments in my life. Everyone deserves to have a professional shoot pics of them at various moments in their life and you want to do that with someone who makes you feel comfortable. He's patient and doesn't mind taking his time to make sure you get what you want from the process. The process: I email him to schedule the shoot with details, location, number of people, and purpose of the shoot. He responds ASAP. Payment is sent via invoice and I love that so I can pay with my CC (for flight points). It's professional and I love that. Photos are delivered via a link afterwards for you to be able to access and you can save the pics from there.

I had a celebrity Chief and hardly any of the food or her staff pictures were taken. He even took pictures of guest while they were taking selfies. My guest stated that Shane sat, ate, and drank the entire evening! He charged me $300 and I gave him a $100 tip without seeing his work. Only because he was a referral. A big lesson learned for me! Stay away !!

Sam is FANTASTIC! He responded very quickly, set up a time to discuss what my goals were for my…read moreheadshot ahead of time, and even created a new background with a flag based on my request. Further, he employed an amazing makeup artist who did my makeup quickly and beautifully. I had the whole afternoon with Sam, he never rushed me, allowed me to make many outfit changes and built me up the whole time. As someone who hates to be in front of the camera, he made me feel relaxed and confident. Sam made me laugh the entire time and even played my favorite music. I would 1,000% recommend Sam and his talents!

Sam is an amazing photographer and a great person. He recently volunteered for "10,000 Headshots"…read morethe largest, single-day photo initiative which will provide 10,000 unemployed Americans with a complimentary, professional headshot to post to job sites and LinkedIn. Our community is fortunate to have small business owners like Sam who are giving back and helping others with a hand up. A professional headshot is the first impression a potential employer or client will likely have of you. According to LinkedIn, people who include headshots receive 21 times more profile views and nine times more "connection" requests. With an awesome headshot from Sam, you can truly put your best self forward.

There was no issue receiving the photos an appropriate length after the shoot and I was far more than pleased with the outcome.

Problem…read morewas that I get that awkward school kid grin when I smile for the camera and remember school pictures from yesteryear. So when I got the Eric's name from a former colleague and friend after seeing some portraits of his, I was a little unsure if the pictures would turn out. When setting up the session, Eric offered to do the shoot at his home or at any location of my choosing. I liked the flexibility of location, and decided to go to his home. The studio was set up and he spent some time chatting with me to put me at ease and to get to know me. Then he started shooting. After a little while he had what he needed, and showed me a preview. I was in shock. I didn't have the cheesy grin, and frankly was stunned at what he was able to capture. He sent me a shot within 24 hours as I had a pressing need, and the rest were delivered to me in less then the 2 week turnaround time he had stated. So if you want to get a good picture, and want to make it easy on yourself, go to Eric. He will take pictures of you that you will be happy with, and that really shows you - not some posed frozen deer in front of headlights look, nor a cheesy grin that only comes out when posing, nor something that isn't you!

He was professional and courteous: rapid email responses and an appointment booked via his assistant with barely 16 hours notice. We had so much fun and got some great shots. He is sending me the retouched images back quicker than any other photographer I have encountered. I can't wait to start using my corporate headshot pictures. I highly recommend Delane for all of your photography needs. I'm thrilled that I chose to work with him and will definitely be back for more photo shoots!

When I asked my husband if he wanted to write my review for Lisa, he said, "sure." This is what he…read morewrote: HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. Given that his eloquence didn't quite match the expression on his face, I thought I'd take over. Lisa did a boudoir photo shoot with me (the photos were a surprise for my husband's birthday). I wanted to write a review because I asked her not to put the photos up on her blog--though I loved them, I wanted to let the pictures remain private to us. However, my experience was absolutely phenomenal. Lisa worked with me for pricing; not only was she one of the only photographers I looked at who included all the photos taken as part of the deliverables included in the original fee (i.e. I don't have to buy photos from her because I will have digital copies of all of them with reprinting rights), but she also was just fine with doing the shoot at a friend of mine's apartment and having another friend do my make-up. Before the shoot, I expressed my concerns about my own body image and fear of not looking "good enough," and Lisa reassured me that it would truly be a fun experience--and it was! When you look at the photos she took, it's hard to believe that Lisa is so young, that she came to the apartment with only a backpack of supplies, and that she somehow managed to make me look like a model! The shots are so diverse--in some, she captured my actual genuine laugh or smile, while in others she found my inner seductress--but every single one is both classy and sexy. My husband is in awe and wants to "shout from the rooftops how hot my wife is"--and I have even been proudly showing them to close friends (which I never thought I'd do!). I cannot recommend Lisa enough--if you're worried about how you might look or feel during a boudoir shoot, have no fears! As my husband said, "see, this is how I see you every day--finally, someone captured that in a photo as proof."

I was so excited she was available for our Sept 2013 wedding and could not wait to meet her. At our initial meeting, we had a lot of fun getting to know it each other and both my husband and I felt comfortable with her right away. This comfort continued into our engagement photo session, which we did in Old Town Alexandria. Lisa had fantastic suggestions on where to go and made ordinary scenery and streets come to life and compliment us. On our wedding day, I had no worries or stress related to the photography, I knew with Lisa's talent and eye in combination with her dedication and passion our photos would be beautiful. When I saw the pictures I was stunned, they are absolutely amazing. She was able to capture the entire day perfectly, the photographs were better then I imagined. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and about how much fun our guests had with Lisa throughout the day. Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with, she is an incredible artist and amazing person. I feel very blessed that we were able to work with her and get to know her. I would not hesitate to recommend her, she is the best!

You actually get an art…read moredirector (making sure you're making the best poses and facial expressions, etc), photographer and editor all in one! I recently had a "beauty shoot" with the owner, Rhonisha, and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. I'll start by saying I am no model and have been known to be lacking in the coordination, flexibility and taking-direction-from-others categories so I was a bit nervous. However, for every stiff and clenched smile I gave, Rhonisha was able to point out how to make the picture better. She suggested (and demonstrated) exactly how to stand, position myself and even smile! And I must say, I was a little wary at first because some of the poses sounded and felt ridiculous and uncomfortable but she promised me they would look amazing on camera...and she was right! And now I can take the knowledge she shared to make even my casual pictures and selfies look better. Rhonisha is a consummate professional, had a ton of patience and made me feel pretty while she was capturing my images. I expected to see the pictures in a week or two but imagine my surprise when I got an email the VERY NEXT DAY with a link to her site, directing me on how to retrieve my pictures. I held my breath and hoped that I'd like what I saw. Turns out there was no need to worry. I was blown away that the face I was seeing was my own. These shots look amazing and I could almost let myself imagine for a second that perhaps I could have a second career as a model (I kid, I kid!). But seriously I love the pictures she took and am having a hard time deciding which ones I want to order because so many are so awesome. In addition to the "beauty" shoots and headshots, R. Dione Foto also does event, wedding, maternity and newborn shoots. Check out the website. You won't be disappointed.
