I witnessed a potential sexual assault on a student by one of their photographers. I was a substitute teacher on photo day in Georgetown. Their sales staff is incompetent and abusive. They are destroying themselves! They've lost many accounts and last year 9 key staff members quit! This year was no different. Avoid this company. My child has had bad dealings with them, they refused to fix his photos.

My child is quite photogenic, but sometimes you need to coax a smile from her. Any professional photographer who deals with children know this and are prepared to work with kids to achieve the best result. They didn't bother, it's as if they just sit the child down, say smile and snap...never caring what the end result may be. With the convenience and instant gratification of digital cameras and a few pushes of a button, a person can quickly review the photo that was just taken and determine if it's worthy or not to keep! The same can be done in this environment. That said, if they photos that wind up printed and distributed are the best of the ones they took, then this studio ought to re-evaluate their business. In my 1st year dealing with them, I had my child do a retake, the result was actually worse than the original. I called the customer help line making the request that they insert her original photo into the class composite photo. I was assured very nicely and assuredly that they could accommodate my request. In the end, that didn't happen. Lastly, prints made my child look orange, as if she had on faux spray tan! Ugh!!! They tried correcting the color but it was never quite right. All in all, I just feel like this company does not care one bit about the kids and parents they serve! I've heard MANY similar complaints and sentiments from other parents.

I highly recommend not going here. The photographers were fabulous. However, when we went to…read morereview the proofs we only had 24 pictures to choose from. The photographer decides which pictures are the best not the customer?! Let's move on, the sales woman Kara reviews your proofs with you and she is pushy in having you get a package deal. A package deal (HaHa) don't let that fool you!! The packages are several hundreds of dollars. She was a bit argumentative with me seeing I wanted the proofs digitally. She was condensing which shows her unprofessionalism. This was suppose to be a positive experience for my senior, but far from it. I will not recommend this studio.

I was forced by my school to get pictures taken here and it was horrible. Avoid going at all costs…read more I didn't get my pictures until 3 months after taking them. It is way overpriced for what you get. The scenery was bad and there were chickens roaming around at random. The photographer clearly did not know what he was doing. The editing of the pictures afterwards were even worse than the original pictures themselves. I payed a lot of money and I only received 1 pack of tiny wallet sized photos. I didn't even get a digital copy. They are not up to date on technology. Their computers were also extremely old. They didn't want me to have digital copies of my own photos so they made me come back multiple times to look at the pictures and then decide which ones I wanted. This process took way too long and was overall a waste of time because I ended up hating all of the pictures.

Ideal Frame service provides primarily for businesses, but caters for personal framing as well. At…read moretheir store located in Haverhill, there are a few spaces for off street parking. Their service is timely, when they say it's done, it's done. I have been here a few times for framing paintings. Every time, I have been given a fair and VERY reasonable price, affordable. Most other framers I have been to generally charge hundreds of dollars. Here at Ideal Frame, the owners know how to charge for the simplest frames. They also have a very good idea for helping to quickly pull from their stock to replace the frame of an old picture or painting. Highly recommend you come here for framing.

I spent weeks looking for photographers. My husband spent about 10 minutes looking, found…read moreMichael's work online, and declared he had found our photographer. Despite being depressed that it took my husband 10 minutes to find our photographer after I looked for weeks, almost immediately after looking at Michael's website we knew that we had found our photographer. Michael's work was excellent. Sure, there were a couple of shots that in retrospect I would have liked and there are a few shots where I'm disappointed that there was something in the background that shouldn't have been. However, he perfectly captured the day--from getting ready, to some portraits, to taking shots of the sunset and storm. We really wanted a photographer that wouldn't take over the day and evening. Michael listened to that, and he was a personable fly on the wall all evening. He joked with us during portraits, making them tolerable, and then let the rest of the evening happen organically. He took multiple candids throughout the event that still make me smile every time I look at them. He took a nice mix of black-and-white and color photographs and took some "artsy" photos as well. I would highly recommend Michael Nesmith for events and portraits. He was is a professional, highly talented photographer with a great eye. The wedding package we selected had everything we wanted and was extremely reasonable. He had the photos back to us within a few weeks and even apologized for the delay (although I don't think 2 weeks is a long time to wait). Michael's website is listed above, but he also has more recent photos on his blog: http://michaelnesmithphotography.com/blog/.

I was very particular about the style of photos that I liked, and Michael's pictures stood out. During the interview he brought tons of wedding albums (all different kinds and at different price ranges), a folder with example pictures and his package price breakdown and more importantly, he showed me weddings from start to finish. He went to school for photography and specializes in black & white photos (which are beautiful). I was looking for brightly colored photos, but to have a photographer who can do both and do them very well is great. And he is really organized, while he goes around doing table pictures, he will hand out cards (which have the bride & groom's pics) with the website where your wedding pictures will be displayed. Even though he lives in NH, he will gladly come into Boston to meet with you and he will travel anywhere for your wedding. He is very accomodating and is quick to respond over email - which is a very important quality in your photographer. I liked him immediately. He also has really great packages for even the budget bride which include a CD with all the high-def pictures. I will need to write a review once the wedding is over, but I have a great feeling about him.
