Crystal shot the photos for my wedding, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with her work…read more Seriously, she took the best pictures of me that I have ever seen. Can she just follow me around and take pics of me everyday? The girl works magic. I originally sought out Crystal because she is a founding member and photography editor for the Fair Event Vendors Alliance, which connects the LGBTQ community with Louisville and Southern Indiana area wedding and event professionals and champions their equality and fair treatment. While I'm not LGBTQ, this is still very important to me. I'm so happy this is important to Crystal too. A friend of mine also recommended her and said that she is sensitive to making sure photos are all natural and flattering. Sounds like I would be in good hands. We met in person to talk about the wedding shortly after I reached out, and I felt comfortable with her almost immediately. She was also easily reachable and quick to respond when I had questions. And then the big day came. Crystal first met us at the salon and was with us for 10 hours that day. I felt like she always had control of the situation -- especially when posing us all for photos -- but she also did not take over the entire scene, as I have seen other photographers do at weddings. She was working hard the entire time and always professional. And like my friend said, she took photos that were very flattering. I told her my arms are not my fave feature, and she helped me pose and stand so they were minimized. Other faves about working with Crystal: * Her prices were very reasonable, which I can confirm after talking to friends and seeing what they spent on pics. * She delivered the photos about two months after the wedding, which seems to be standard. And we got ALL of the pics. Plus we get to download them and use them as we see fit (giving her credit on social media, of course). * And just to reiterate, we had her for 10 hours at three different locations. And her pics! Again, they turned out so well. Both the posed and action shots were beautiful. Looking through them, I feel like she got all the important parts of the wedding -- and then some. I missed seeing some of my friends' moves on the dance floor. Now they are committed to history, thanks to Crystal. The venue also looked stunning in her photos. After stressing so much about the decorations, I admit I didn't get to take it in as much as I would have liked on the actual day. Now I get to see and truly appreciate how beautiful it was. I very much hope I get another chance to work with Crystal. Her pics will line our walls and social media feeds for the rest of my and my husband's lives.

Having never posed for head shots, I was very nervous about the whole situation....picking the…read moreright photographer, clothes, hair, makeup, nails (?), backdrop.....too much input!! Luckily the hair & makeup was in the good hands of Jacquelyn's Salon (http://www.yelp.com/biz/jacquelyns-salon-and-spa-louisville), but how was I going to pick a photographer - Help me Yelp!!! First, I read reviews and really combed the Yelpers pictures. Studio E had a strong presence and I liked what I saw. Next I took to the Wild Wild Web, to see which photographers had a good web presence and what I found was amazing. To me, your website is like walking into your studio. It should be well organized, up to date and "clean" (no misspelled words, etc.). It should not be full of stylish pictures of you and your family, it should not have last year's dates and why is that family standing in front of a house? Art is one thing, wacky is another....does every picture have to been totally off center? I know, back to my mission and I'm looking for professional head shots and once again, Studio E Photography's website scored 5 stars. Wow, they even had their pricing structure clearly stated and easy to find. The pictures on it was stylish and gorgeous. And hey! I remember see that bridal picture on Google images when I was researching my Gillespie review! Michelle called me back in a timely manner and we made an appointment for an outside photo shoot. The day of the shoot, it was raining, and she called and offered to move it. But I already had the whole hair and makeup appointments set up, so we did the inside shoot. It took about 45 minutes. I could not be a model. I don't have the patience and do not take direction very well. And there is the whole, "stand this way" and "put your chin that way"....but Michelle was super patient with this photo novice and let me comb through pictures and change blazer to sweater to blazer. No to the blue blazer that made my hair look like bozo orange. She was casual and easy to talk to. Her whole demeanor puts you at ease and the studio is a cozy little office off of Hurstborne with the beautiful portraits lining the stairs on the way up. I felt very zen in her sitting room as we looked through other head shots. The pictures were ready the next day and she Dropbox'ed them to me. They were great! I've gotten so many compliments on them and they are plastered over all of my social networks and resume sites. She sized them perfectly for uploading. This helped seal my resume package and gave me the confidence to go after those Senior level jobs that I have the experience for! Thanks so much Michelle and the Yelp Community that helped me find her.

Her communication is unmatched, from our initial zoom consultation to staying in touch with us and our daughter learning about her and her style, interests and ideas for HER senior pictures. Tammy guided us every step of the way and helped with clothing choices, hair styles, accessories, etc. This was so much more than a couple of photo sessions. It truly was a custom-tailored experience for Sara. Both of our sessions were at outdoor locations and were a perfect fit for what Sara wanted. We never felt rushed during our sessions and Tammy spent so much time helping her through the poses and making sure that she was comfortable and relaxed. Tammy has an entire wagon loaded down with everything you can imagine making sure the session goes smoothly. From water to a mounted mirror and even a portable speaker so Sara could have her favorite playlist playing during the sessions. That was a great touch that really helped put her at ease! Our photos could not have been more amazing. The selection process was so difficult, there were SO many amazing pictures narrowing them down was almost impossible!!! Tammy worked so hard to help us narrow our choices and we were never pressured into more than we had budgeted. We picked out our prints and products and the entire process was so easy! Tammy is a true professional photographer. Her work absolutely reflects the time and energy she has put into her craft and is so much more than delivering amazing photographs. The entire process is a wonderful experience for your senior. Highly recommend Tammy.

I wanted high quality senior portraits of my son, TJ, and she came through! We had our session in her home studio, and even though my session was for just one hour, she didn't mind taking her time to really work with him to ensure the shots were just right. He had three outfit changes, and we chose three different backgrounds. She went through numerous poses, styled the lighting differently throughout the session, and did all but hang from the rafters (she's petite and TJ is 6'2") to get the shots she felt would look best. The resulting photos were amazing...it was SO hard to narrow our choices down. Again, she never made us feel rushed or pressured into more than we budgeted for. She guided us through our options for prints, and showed us some examples of what those look like as final products. The mobile app for the final photos is a great idea. I've sent it to all my relatives, living all over the world, to get their requests for printed photos -so handy! 10/10 would highly recommend Tammy to handle your event photos...I'm calling her in 4 years when my daughter graduates! (And maybe before that if I can convince the hubby to renew our vows, but that's another story!)

Beware - owner Kimberly Melloan tops the list of most difficult to deal with. She was…read moreunprofessional with the athletes and rushed them through the session. She ask several times which photo my daughter wanted on her banner and was told several times to use a specific photo. Without any discussion, Kimberly selected a different photo by claiming the original photo was blurry and it looked like my daughter was falling in it. The first question would be, if the photographer wasn't able to take a clear picture, why wouldn't she offer a retake? Instead, Kimberly selected a photo of her own choosing to be displayed on a banner at school. I've contacted Kimberly several times and she replies days later with a snotty disposition and offers no amicable solution except for me to spend $60 to get her to print the picture that she made the decision to replace. If you have any doubt to my review, please read through her responses to others who have filed complaints with her. She is quick to place blame on others and shows zero effort towards providing a solution.
