Do not waste your time in Sweet Pea Studios. I had a bad feeling when I booked since all their…read morereviews were very old (yrs old), I should have listened to my gut. This has been the most difficult business that I have had to deal with during such a difficult time (postpartum and medical conditions). It has been blatantly obvious that she has no good faith effort in doing business with us and to the point its just unethical and unprofessional. I have tried really hard to work with Krystal Culpepper and gone above and beyond because $400 is a lot of money for us and it's just not fair. She is either too busy or doesn't care because she have already been paid 65% of total amount. Krystal has shown zero professionalism, been unreliable and has shown a lack of good faith effort in your business practices. Krystal purposely taking advantage of situation and acting maliciously since she got mostly paid already. Krytal emailed me that we have breached contract for not paying 3 days in advance of session date is ridiculous business sense. She wanted us to blindly pay her when we received zero communications. 1. I booked our May 10 session on March 19th 2024 and heard NOTHING proactive from her since then. No follow up on needs, preferences, types of pictures we wanted, locations, where to meet, confirm time, nothing. Only the automatic payment reminders that have always had the wrong due dates since starting to do business with you in July 2023. a. I had to follow up with Krystal on May 1st to confirm time since I never got final confirmation with accurate time. b. I again, followed up with Krystal on May 9 to confirm, location we should meet, what to bring, etc. No response. c. In all these exchanges, Krystal Culpepper didn't even bother as a business courtesy, to remind payment was due AND be professional and finalize details. Krsytal Culpepper purposely waited until noon the day of our session day to cancel on us. I can go one, before this session, I had inquired about rescheduling session and after telling her that never mind, I will keep my original session because I sensed how difficult it was going to be... Krystal said she would accommodate to my time but ended up limiting 4 out of 7 days and blocking her calendar after I had pulled available dates from her calendar. Mind you, this was a family session that we had to settle because she wouldn't refund us our newborn session deposit. Or, how Krystal texted me the morning of our schedule newborn session date to cancel due to her medical reasons and were later told her return date was unknown but our newborn reservation fee of 50% was non-refundable. We had to mourn the fact that we were not going to be newborn pictures with our last baby as we could not afford to schedule another session despite the fact that SHE cancelled on us and were UNABLE to provide services. Instead, she "offered" us to reschedule our newborn session, how do you reschedule a newborn session when your baby is already three months old? Even though the contract said "newborn session reservation fee." She said she offering to transfer to another type of session ??!?!?! After she breached the contract. She refuses to refund us our "newborn session reservation fee," that she was unable to provide services and zero services have been provided--my baby is now 7.5 months old.

From start to finish, working with Denise was great. She met with us before our session to help us…read moreget a comfort level with her work, approach, and shooting style. She helped us figure out what we were looking for in pictures and scouted a great location for fall pictures. When it came to the shoot, she was extremely flexible in setting a rain date (which we ended up needing!). On the day of the shoot, Denise encouraged us to act as we normally do and captured so many great photos. She helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera and found lots of sweet moments with our 7 month old son. After the session, we were able to see some sneak peaks within a couple of days, and received the full photo gallery within a week. We love so many of the pictures and were able to use them for the family Christmas card, grandparent gifts, and even photos to hang up at home. We will treasure the photos she took of our young family and are so grateful for her talent!

As a customer who almost exclusively leaves positive reviews for businesses, it is with deep regret…read moreand disappointment that I must share this experience. We hired Nataly Danilova after seeing beautiful work advertised online, expecting a high-quality, professional experience for our newborn photo session. What we got instead was a stressful and unprofessional experience with poor quality photos that did not match the advertised standard. 1. Complete Lack of Professionalism and Empathy (0/5 Stars) Instead of providing the patience and calm required for a newborn shoot, the photographer was cold, dismissive, and clearly impatient the entire time working with her, which was only more deeply felt as I still recovering and sleep deprived. When I mentioned my ongoing recovery from a second C-section, she laughingly replied that she "went dancing the next day after her C-section" (an obvious lie) which completely trivialized my situation. She repeatedly stressed that "her time is valuable," using this phrase to excuse her impatience when our baby or three year-old fussed. Furthermore, the small wardrobe she offered (after acting bothered when I asked to see it) smelled very bad, as if the items had never been washed. 2. Technical Failures and Excessive Fees We waited weeks for the photos due to the photographer taking a vacation, only to receive images with a severe technical defect. The background lights were so overly bright that the photos were completely washed out, causing the shape of our son's head and body to blend into the white backdrop. Worse, the images had clearly undergone excessive digital alteration, making them look unnatural and losing the true, candid essence of the artistic photo. The value of the real moment was lost due to this heavy digital editing (for example, parts of my fingers appeared "cut" due to poor cropping/retouching). When I politely requested she re-edit the photos to fix this clear technical failure, she again cited that "her time is valuable" and then charged an incredibly high, non-negotiable fee to fix her own poor work. We spent over $1,000 (paid in cash) for a handful of technically flawed photos and a horrible experience. We wasted significant time, emotional energy, and a large amount of money on a service that failed in every regard: technical execution, advertised quality, and basic human professionalism. Do not be fooled by the online portfolio; the actual service and resulting images are a catastrophic disappointment. Save your sanity and your wallet--avoid this photographer.

She had already planned a family trip but generously squeezed me in the morning of her travel. Unbelievably considerate for someone I've never met. The morning of our shoot, she came prepared with all the props we could ever need to make my little baby as cute as possible! Courtney was prompt, patient and soooo professional! She was so gentle wit my baby and knew tricks to keep her calm that I didn't know. She promised to have a certain number of shots and stayed over her time until she kept her promise. I truly appreciate her dedication. Any other photographer would have said that they time is up and that that had to leave. I recommend Courtney 1000 times over! She will take the most amazing and memorable pics of your little ones!

She even managed to get some photos of all of my bigger kids smiling and looking at the camera. That's no small achievement!
