This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

I should have known it wasn't a good sign when he arrived late to the event, arrived late to take pics of my daughter getting out of limo. We chose a package that included rights to all photos he took, an album of 100- 4x6 pictures and blue-ray videos of the whole event. I have paid him $600 total and have only received the small photo album. Don't bother trying to call him as he never answers the phone or returns voice mails. We finally went to his house and knocked on the door 2 weeks ago in search of him as he was MIA. We were promised the rest of the package and have yet to hear from Paulino after multiple attempts to call him . I have even messaged him on facebook in hope of a response and NOTHING. Sadly, I do not have not many memories of our event as someone who claims to be a professional has not done his job. I will not be a person to cross my arms and walk away, since there is a contract in place I will begin the civil process of getting my pictures and videos I was promised.

40/40 photo shoot! Working with Sandy and her team was an unforgettable experience. From the moment…read moreI stepped in front of the camera, she created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and empowering. I've never felt so comfortable being photographed-- Sandy has a true gift for helping you relax, be yourself, and still bring out your most confident, radiant side. The direction was thoughtful, natural, fun and intuitive--never forced. I left the shoot feeling not just seen but celebrated. The final images captured not only how I look, but how I felt--strong, grounded, and beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, both technically and emotionally, look no further. Sandy is an artist, a professional, and someone who truly cares about the people being photographed. I can't recommend her and her team enough.

I did a Pin-up Party here to celebrate my birthday with a few girlfriends. It was a super fun opportunity to have a "girls night out" but to do something besides bar hop. It's going to be 3 weeks until we see our images (that seems a little long to me), so I'm going to post based on the party experience then update when we see our images. **Update on images below** Kathryn H. did a pretty good run down of the party itself; when you book, you're seriously wondering how the heck you're going to spend 3 hours and wow does Jacque keep you busy! She'll take you through some pin-up history and "routines" which I appreciated because it really does get you in the mood and ready to put on your best pin-up face come picture time. Jacque was good about keeping things moving forward, but at times we did feel rushed rather than feeling like we had time to enjoy each other's company while we were there. (She seriously gave us "3 minutes" to use the restroom at one point- and she stuck to it!) The description to bring your own food/drinks makes it seem like you'll have more leisure time than you do, but then again I'm not sure I'd want to spend that much more time there either. We did bring food and drinks, and found the most time to enjoy them was during the photo shoot. She has a pretty extensive wardrobe selection which was great because of the 6 ladies there we ranged in size from 4-12, and everyone found something they were excited about and comfortable in. Her wide variety of props is pretty fun too; she made sure each person posed with 3 props during the photo session. The photo session was fun, and I felt like she knew how to work with us to help us get the best pictures, even if again, we felt rushed. I also would have liked if she partnered with a hair/makeup person- that would have been hugely helpful! We found a place to do some of our make-up and hair before we arrived, but it would have been that much better to show up an hour or two early and make that part of the party (for an add'l cost of course!). All in all, it is a great option to do something different for a girls night out. You walk away with 5 individual images, and a few group images, and have the choice to pay extra for all your images. Most of us decided we'd wait to see the images, and would be willing to wait another 3 weeks, before deciding to pay more for it all. **Update on images** It was almost 3 weeks to the day when we received our email announcing our photos were ready. We each had 5 individual shots and 3 group shots. If I was to rate based on my photos alone I would increase my rating to 5 stars, but a couple of my friends' photos were kind of off- some slightly blurry or weird shadowing that made me sad to think those were the "best" 5 images. I was really happy with my images but not to the extent that I wanted to pay $50 to see/own all of them retouched; they're a super fun keepsake and definitely different. It's an incredibly fun thing to do, and the images are really just a bonus to memorialize a great girls' night out. One of our group shots was truly epic and something I'll treasure for life.

My partner called and talked to the owner ahead of time before driving an hour to exchange an item that was uncomfortable to wear. The owner confirmed we can exchange the item. My partner drove out and the employees denied her the return and after they texted Angel (the owner) she then denied us the return. Why? Why waste our time. We spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars at your store. We were trying to support you and your business. Your lack of care is a disappointment to the community and the vision you expressed you were trying to create for woman's clothing. Make things right and I will take this comment down.
