In the studio, everything seemed great. The photographer was professional and courteous. But after…read morethe photos are taken, the experience quickly deteriorates to the point you feel somewhat held hostage by unfair business practices. The first red flag was that in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, the photographer was not willing to share watermarked photos, so we could select which ones to purchase. We were forced to come into the studio. This consequently meant our family members who were interested in the photos never even got to see them in any form, because they couldn't make it to the studio during C-19. Even worse, we wanted digital copies to share with family, and Tamara said she'd share them if we paid $300 per print. She was unwilling to sell digital photos on their own, at any price. We bought 3 photo prints and our digital copies were sent to us with large watermarks. $300 won't even get you an un-watermarked digital copy of one photo. The photos were well-taken, but the print quality is average at best. There are much better photography experiences in Vancouver and businesses that won't penalize you for having family you'd like to share digital copies with.

We did all sorts of combinations (whole family, each individual child, husband and wife, two children together etc ...) and came away with a lovely print photo. The prints are meant to last for generations. I found Tamara to be responsive and kind, and did not at all feel pressure to buy a package from her. I'd highly recommend Hudson Wren to others who are looking for a printed canvas, frame or photo to hang for decades and generations to come.

Before I went, I printed out a piece of paper stating the size in order to make it easier to see the size required. She was quick to recognize the mm and cm . We then went into the photograph room for a shot. The picture looked great. However I wish she has given me a mirror to tidy up a bit of my shoulder / sides before the shot. I should have asked first though. I ordered 2 physical pictures and 1 digital (sent by email). Total cost was $32 + tax. All in all I think it's worth it. I got the pictures within 30 minutes.

We had our pre-wedding photoshoot done with Charlie's Studio and we absolutely love all the…read morepictures! Our experience with them was super great right from the start. Ivy was very helpful and thorough with explaining how the whole process works and showed us all the different packages that they offer. We did look at a few other studios as well, but ultimately picked Charlies because they aligned best with what we were looking for. We chose the "Prime Collection" package which included everything we needed and the pricing roughly aligned with the other studios we visited. Communication was very prompt and professional during the entire process! We chose to have our photoshoot during April to capture the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms bloomed early this year so we missed the prime window, but that was entirely our own fault because Ivy was very organized and did try to rebook us to an earlier date. Regardless, we still got all the photos that we wanted. Picking out the dress rentals was also a super fun experience. They have so many gorgeous wedding gowns and evening gowns to choose from and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Their selection of wedding gowns was definitely better than the evening gowns though, but luckily, they had a new arrival that I absolutely loved! The new arrival had an additional surcharge which was a little bit annoying but it was still worth it. They were able to alter both dresses to fit me perfectly for the shoot. Just before the photoshoot day, we were informed that there wouldn't actually be an assistant with us to help me change into the dress and swap out hair accessories, but we could add one for an additional $150 charge. This was the only negative aspect of our entire interaction with them, because I wish they were more transparent about it from the beginning. Everything else went very smoothly. I got to request my wedding makeup artist and used this photoshoot as my hair and makeup trial. The photographer and the photographer assistant were super nice and friendly and gave very clear directions throughout the day. They're also super familiar with all the best photo spots and we had a great time during our photo session. We got our edited photos back promptly around 3 weeks after the photoshoot and it was way more pictures than we expected, so that was super nice. Our fine touch-up photos were ready about a week after we made our selections and we have no complaints! Definitely recommend working with Charlie's Studio :)

Her skin tone was completely different and it didn't even look like my baby. I emailed back asking if we could please leave my baby's skin tone as is and not to edit it. I received an email back from the owner - Rachel who said: "the original has too much yellow tone like jaundice" First off Rachel - my baby never had jaundice (this is just her colouring, so thank you) and second off, even if she did have jaundice and I wanted to show that colouring in the images, then just leave it. There should have never been a comment like that said. I have many friends and family members that are expecting and I told them to look else where for newborn photos.
