Worst experience ever!

She didn't even let us know she was running behind and left my family hanging at a park when they were all dressed and ready for pictures. She lied to me about how much she was going to refund me! I'm still in shock with what she put my family through. It was supposed to be a beautiful experience for us and it was nothing but a waste of time and money, literally! I would never recommend her to anyone!

Really bad experience. Michelle showed up 20 minutes late for our 60 minute photo shoot after…read morechanging the location on us to somewhere further than originally planned. She also resent the contract to be signed one hour prior to us meeting and said she wouldn't shoot unless it was signed. It was really confusing to me because I had already signed a contract almost a month prior. We were already turned off by her when she arrived, she was extremely frazzled and rushing from another shoot. SHE RECOMMENDED a refund as the energy was way off and we were unhappy with her unprofessionalism. She knows very well we were under the impression we were being refunded $400. She tricked us and text us on our way home she was keeping the $160 deposit. The way she did this really left a bad taste in my mouth, complete trickery! Since when do photographers keep the deposit when they're the ones who falter on the contract? She caused a lot of stress for my family, a day I truly will never forget and money wasted!!! True story!!!!!

We hired Bia Schaefer Photography as part of a business brand renovation and marketing initiative…read morefor our Orlando law office. Ms. Schaefer comes highly recommended for newborn, birth, and family photography, and was excited to work with our business. The results could not have been better. Ms. Schaefer was responsive and professional throughout the project, and clearly takes great pride in her work and in meeting her clients' needs. We received an extensive album of behind the scenes photos, professional head shots, and macro photos to use in our marketing materials and website. Although it is clear that Bia Schaefer Photography is best in class for newborn and family photography, we could not be happier with the service we received for our business needs. I highly recommend Bia Schaefer Photography for any project that requires a creative mind, attention to detail, and impeccable customer service.

I have used Linda Rose Photography for my Engagement Photos, Wedding, and most recently my law…read morefirm's head shots and group photos. If you are looking for the best, LOOK NO FURTHER. Linda is the best. She has a knack of taking the best photos of everyone, with NATURAL smiles! No fake smiles here! I have been in 2 of her weddings (not including my own), and those photos were wonderful as well. I will never use anyone but Linda for any professional photos ever. Some of her work is in my profile pictures, and as you can see, she does the best work. Comments I heard when people see my wedding and engagement photos are "was this for a magazine?!", and "this looks like it was for a professional ad!". You just can't go wrong with Linda Rose Photography. If you want the best, she is the best.

I was supposed to write this review sooner, but I'm just getting around to it now. I booked…read moreCarmella Chanel Glam in May 2025 after seeing her good reviews, even though most of them were from 2019-2022. Everyone said she was great, so I trusted it. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't what I expected. When she arrived, she didn't have a professional setup at all. no lighting, no chair, no proper kit setup just a makeup bag and a small mirror placed on my friend's dining table. She did mention she had just moved to Florida so maybe that explains why she didn't have a real setup, I'm not sure. I showed her my inspo photos and clearly explained that I wanted a clean girl makeup, very light makeup look with soft pink blush and almost no eyeshadow. She said it was fine, but the makeup she did was completely different. She finished in about 20 to 25 minutes, and she ended up giving me dark eyeshadow even though I specifically said I didn't want that. The foundation made me look orange and wasn't matched to my skin tone. Overall, the makeup looked outdated, almost like a 2016 style, not the fresh and natural look I asked for. I was really disappointed, especially since this was for my friend's wedding. I also want to add that I didn't really speak up because it was my first time getting my makeup done professionally, and I get shy about saying something. I was already nervous and had to rush to a whole wedding right after, so I didn't want her to have to start over or make things awkward. I just left feeling frustrated. I still tipped her because she was very sweet, but the service didn't meet my expectations at all.

Meli has done my makeup on several occasions and has killed it every time!…read more I normally don't wear much makeup, so she always keeps the looks on the more natural side (much appreciated!). Meli is always professional and quick to answer any questions. One thing that I think she does differently is she looks at your skin type and it's current condition to decide what moisturizer and products to use. I went to her once hungover as hell, and she explained why she used a certain dewy moisturizer and foundation on my face. This is helpful because there are SO many options out there, it's great to know what an expert thinks is right for you. Meli takes her time and listens. You can tell she has a passion for makeup, and it shows through her work!
