Although I hate the webpage and the type of advertising they choose. I absolutely loved how well they handled my shy 5 year old. They got her to open up and have fun. In person it's a great business with a friendly and helpful staff. Looking forward to seeing how the pictures come out read more

Natalia was exceptional! My children had a wonderful experience during our session :) My sons, Zach and Cloud, were dressed as little warriors, and my daughter, Kira, transformed into a fairy. The entire experience was fun, beautifully executed, and truly magical! Natalia was warm, patient, and attentive with our children. She guided them through each pose, kept them engaged, and added to the enchantment by blowing bubbles throughout the session. Her whimsical and charismatic approach, paired with her talent behind the camera resulted in some truly stunning shots. The set was filled with tree stumps, moss, flowers, and giant mushrooms! My sons enjoyed posing with awesome swords. My daughter loved posing with the treasure chest and birdcage! I'm looking forward to viewing the images next week!! I highly recommend Enchanted Fairies to anyone hoping to capture beautiful, magical memories with their children. read more

Enchanted Fairies - Session Photography Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I had a really great experience here. I waited until I had my photo review to do my review here to ensure I could give the full experience. I had an ad pop up on my Instagram for the free 8x10 photo and I thought it sounded super cool. I applied for an invite and received one. I paid the $25 sitting fee, and made my appointment. I chose this location as it's close to where I live. My photographer was Mala and she helped me from start to finish. She was incredibly friendly and since I went alone, she took photos of me in their lobby which are the photos I posted. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable doing this experience as an adult as a lot of people do it for their children. She asked me which color dress I wanted from the three they had. I believe the choices were blue, purple and pink. I chose pink. They only have one fitting room so it truly is a personalized experience. She had me do many poses for my photo shoot and made sure I was comfortable and she was very complimentary. When I was done, she scheduled my zoom meeting to review my photos for two weeks out. (Today) I was nervous after reading the reviews so I went into it with a firm decision of what I wanted, which was my free 8x10 photo. He had me go through my photos and say Pass, Maybe or Yes and I made sure if I liked a photo I said MAYBE, and not yes as I didn't want to be committed to a purchase by saying yes. I suggest doing that as I don't know what saying yes means. I see reviews saying you can't go back to photos. Everything I said maybe to was on the screen to the end for me to review. The gentleman that led the zoom was very nice and was not pushy at all. He asked if I was familiar with the book, and I said I was but for me that was more appropriate for children. He asked if I had children or grandchildren and I stated I do not. He said it would be a great keepsake if I did but he understood. He went over a few options of packages on the photos I said "maybe" to. Again, I feel it's important to say maybe and not yes. I decided to only go with my free 8x10 and he said no problem, confirmed my address and said expect my photo in 6-8 weeks. No attitude, not pushy, he was very pleasant. Please do your due diligence and you will have a great experience. I hope my review helps with that. Be honest and open with your children. Maybe don't include them on the zoom meeting so their hopes and dreams aren't crushed when you don't spend thousands of dollars on everything. Unless that is your plan going into it. Keep it real and you'll have a good experience here like I did! I also tipped the photographer in the lobby when I checked out $20 so my total expense for this experience was $45 and it was well worth it. read more

My daughter had such a great time dressing up as fairy and with all the props. Definitely recommend this experience overall. The photographer was very patient and she did a great job getting some lovely shots of my 2 year old. Excited to see how the pictures turn out! read more

Enchanted Fairies - Inside - Session Photography Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

This was my second visit, as my first was unsuccessful due to my baby being upset and crying, which required us to reschedule. The second visit went much more smoothly. There was no loud music, and the room temperature was more comfortable than the first time, making the environment less overstimulating for my baby. They also had the purple dress available this time, along with more baby-friendly props, which was a nice improvement. I've only seen a preview of the photos so far, so I can't comment on the final images yet--only on the overall experience read more

Tia was my photographer and she was great. She did an amazing job dealing with my 3 month old who wanted to look everywhere but the camera haha. She was very patient and came up with ideas the whole time to get my daughter's attention. We did solo shots of my daughter, ones of me and her, and just me. I can't wait to see how the photos turned out and will definitely be coming back to book with her. Beautiful little studio with gorgeous dresses and adorable props. The photographer is well versed in photography as well and did a great job instructing you how to pose etc. read more

Enchanted Fairies - My daughter before the shoot - Session Photography Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

They canceled two zoom appts to review and select my daughter's photos. I've spent the last three weeks trying get in touch with anyone to reschedule and haven't been able to. I'm seeing a lot of stiff about how they shut down with no warning at all and now won't be able to ever see any of the pictures. Great job, guys. read more

We had the most enchanting experience at Enchanted Fairies! From the moment we walked in, everything felt like stepping into a fairytale. The photographer (sorry i forgot his name) was incredibly patient, warm, and amazing. He made my little one feel comfortable, confident, and truly special. The dress were stunning and so detailed, and the set looked straight out of a storybook. The photographer captured the sweetest moments, every pose, every smile and turned them into pure magic. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable photoshoot for your child, this is the place. It's more than just pictures it's an experience your child (and you!) will remember forever. read more

I won a "free" enchanted fairies photo session that included one complimentary print. After the shoot, I was invited to a Zoom meeting to select photos. At the end of the meeting, I was told I had to choose a package on the spot if I wanted more than one photo. Even when trying to negotiate for just a few photos, the pricing was extremely high and it was framed as though the only reasonable choices were their highly priced packages. I went ahead and decided on their smallest package. It was a high pressure tactic to get me to choose on the spot and I regret it deeply. I agreed in the moment and signed, but within about 30 minutes I reached out to cancel and request a refund after realizing it was not a smart decision to finance nearly $4,000 for printed photos (a cost comparable to wedding photography btw). At that time, no artwork or editing had begun on the photos and nothing had been delivered. Instead of honoring the cancellation, I was told to make an appt with client relations through a scheduling platform. No direct number to call, just the link. They apologized and sounded empathetic in that moment - which led me to believe they would help me resolve this situation. I also spoke and requested the art department to specifically hold off on any art work until I resolve my issue - again they ensured they wouldn't start any thing yet and sounded very empathetic. The client relations meeting had to be postponed due to conflicting schedules but during this waiting period I ended up receiving the digital images of the edited, painted FINISHED photos I specifically asked for them to hold off on. They essentially continued to go with the scheduled plan without my consent. Once we finally had the meeting they did not try to see how they could make it work for me. They essentially restated their policy. They cannot address any refunds due to the contract signed. Even when I requested a refund right after signing. I wish someone would have told me this earlier that they were never planning on giving me a refund rather than relying on false hope from their deceiving customer service. They will act like they care about you but they really don't. They are trained to know exactly how to respond to frequently asked questions and deceive you into thinking they care. They don't care- they just want your money. Please don't make my mistake unless you are okay with spending more than $4000-$10k on printed photos in a high pressure meeting which by the way is NOT WORTH IT. read more

BEWARE!!! STAY AWAY!! SCAMMMM!!! I had won a "free" session with my daughters for a photo shoot a few months back and after the premier of the photos we were told that we would no longer have access to any of our photos ever again. I just received an email saying I could get ALL my digital photos of my girls for $200? We paid over $2000 for only a selected few for digital ones including a painting. Why isn't the digital photos for all the photos offered during the premier? I feel very disappointed and dissatisfied with this outcome!! I don't understand why we were told we wouldn't have another opportunity to have our daughters photos only for a few months later be offered initially what we wanted (all digital photos) for less than 10% of the price. This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm furious that it cost us that much money for precious memories only for it to be so much cheaper later. Unfair and unprofessional. I would like someone to reach out and see how we can solve this situation. At this point I want All my digital photos, a story book, another framed painting picture of my size choice to cover the difference in price that we already paid. I think that is a fair resolution to this issue ! I am beyond pissed and I don't want to hear about the "investment" crap. We were tricked and lied to. When I do reach out I don't even get acknowledgment, just automated emails saying to buy the photos before it's too late. Save your time and money ! read more

My daughter enjoyed the experience! Igor is a wonderful photographer and I recommend this experience to any parent with their children. I highly recommend! I'm excited to see the photo I selected read more

Omg do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! Even for an Instagram AD discount. I signed up for a $50 deal from IG and drove an hour to Plano for the experience which wasn't bad, but when it got down to reviewing the photos with Gerry OMG WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! He was totally rude and inconveniencing and made the experience way more unpleasant that I ever expected or had time for. He Was not considerate, did not honor timing and made up rules and reason to not let me see my photos. Like WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH THE PHOTOS OF ME AND MY SON!? Totally suspect. Highly DO NOT recommend. June at the Plano, TX location (which I drove an hour out to) was a complete graceful treat but Gerry - the zoom facilitator- really made it a difficult process after the fact! Like at this point just delete our beautiful photos if you don't want to do your job and let me view and pick them quickly. Horrible! Shoot tell AI to make you some fairy photos and book on an app! I bet it's cheaper than this rip off experience! read more

Enchanted Fairies - This was cool, but after... save yourself and your time! - Session Photography Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Dan was our photographer Dan was great he made the most of our time. Got good baby pics. He was awesome with lucybelle soothing not high energy. Very understanding on the baby timer. The costumes are all included and did fit. Gave 5 stars Update I lowered rating because pricing is crap. Just for digitals is $500. And you have to order by a zoom meeting so they can pressure you. Some packages were almost $10k my wedding photography and digitals cost $500 and they stayed for more than 2 hours. Yes I know pics are edited and that takes time and $ but not that much read more

Three months after selecting my photo and still not having received anything, I contacted customer support. Turns out they lost my selection and I needed to repick before they started the art and printing process. To be fair, they did add a digital copy and 5x7 as an apology, but it does feel very unfortunate that nothing flagged to them that my paid for order was sitting from Sept 18 to Dec 24. read more

Everything from start to finish went amazing! We were greeted and told how our appointment was going to go about. I'd say everything would have gone smoothly, if my son was more cooperative. (He had just woken up from his nap) but even then, our photographer was so patient with us and tried everything to get him to get comfortable. We got a few great shots of him, even with that pressure. My daughter had a grand time and is already asking to go back. We loved our experience and highly recommend. read more

From the moment we walked up to the front door all the way to our exit from the photoshoot was a magical experience for our daughter.

A very special and well deserved shout out to our photographer Athens! She was amazing, she made our daughter feel like a fairy and kept the magic alive with her fairy themed banter. 10/10 read more

We had a good time. The photographer was amazing and sweet. The only thing is that I was told the deposit was refundable. When I got there they told me it was donated to a charity. Felt like I had no choice but to be like I guess it's okay because then I would be that a-hole who doesn't donate to charity. Cool idea but I would make it clear to the customer that that's where their deposit is going. read more

My daughter was quite fussy at first, but through the whole thing they were so patient and coming up with new things to make her giggle and calm down.

Despite my own instincts, I went to this thinking there wasn't much to lose. DO NOT be fooled, this is a scam if there ever was one. The fact that they prey on mothers and children is horrendous and really disgusting. The photographer is terrible and photos came out awful. Beyond over priced and very tacky plus awful pushy sales people. Just STAY away if you don't want to risk getting taken horribly advantage of and badly scammed. Just awful company and people. Would love to see their proof of "charity work". read more

Very friendly and professional. So sweet to my 2-year-old. Enjoyed the session. Very easy and went very smoothly.

It was a great experience for my little one , she loved that dress and the props and the way she was treated , she felt like a princess !

This was a great experience for my 6yr old daughter. She felt like a real fairy and Natalia was great with her before, during and after the season. Natalia did a great job of explaining all the details as well. read more
