Working with Chad Swinford Photography was an absolute win for me as a marketing agency owner…read more I hired him to handle brand photography and b-roll for Limitless Woodworking during a tight launch window. Even with a compressed timeline, he took the time to understand the heart behind the brand and what we were trying to communicate. He understood the assignment and delivered. From the first conversation through post-production, the experience felt intentional and white-glove. I'm very type-A and strategic by nature, and Chad balanced that beautifully with his creative perspective. He never made the process feel rushed or stressful, and my clients genuinely enjoyed working with him. It's rare to find someone who cares equally about the final product and the client experience. Chad does both exceptionally well. He captured the images and behind-the-scenes woodshop footage we needed to tell their story and connect with their audience. Getting clients comfortable on camera is not always easy, but he created an environment that made it feel natural and effortless. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer who combines professionalism, creativity, and care, I highly recommend Chad Swinford Photography.

The answer to your questions about hiring Stacy Able Photography is YESSSSSSS. When our destination…read morewedding was impacted by coronavirus we made the decision to get married in Indianapolis, alone, with our families watching over zoom and postpone our big wedding celebration for a year to April of 2021. One of the best decisions we made was finding Stacy and hiring her. We are SO grateful for her work, it made our makeshift elopement real and you will not believe how great the pics turned out. Stacy was recommended to us by a neighbor who knew she did wedding photography and I had not seen her work before but since we desperately wanted someone to photograph our wedding and she was willing to come, wear a mask and maintain a distance so we hired her. OH MY GOD WE ARE SO LUCKY. THESE PICTURES BELONG IN A MAGAZINE. I am not just saying this, she is so good. I have had pictures taken professionally before and it is so awkward, I normally feel so uncomfortable, hate the way I look, my poses, etc. The pictures she captured were flawless. Stacy was professional, prompt, helpful, and boy is she talented - just the best experience possible. It was beyond our expectations. People are still contacting me months after to tell me how great our photos look - like, friends of friends and beyond. People we don't even know are contacting me about these pictures. Hire Stacy! If you are looking at this and would like to talk to me, please ask Stacy for my contact information so I can answer any of your questions, I am happy to connect and give a glowing recommendation. This was the best part about our wedding.

Hiring Stacy for our wedding was the best decision we made. She came as a strong recommendation…read morefrom our planner and it is easy to tell why. Not only is she is incredibly kind, with a remarkable ability to put people at ease, but she also overdelivers with her images in every way. The way she captured our engagement session and a full weekend of wedding festivities blew us away and is something we'll cherish forever. Even our guests commented on how she really got in the action and captured the dance floor without impacting the vibe, and those are some of our favorite photographs from the night. My parents also could not stop raving about what a delight she was and how painless she made the process of many formal photos. It is true that you will spend more time on your wedding day with your photographer than anyone else - and there is not a better person to have by your side than Stacy.

WARNING; TERRIBLE IMAGES AND THEN STOLE MY MONEY. DO NOT BOOK Not professional at all. My family is…read morecompletely shocked by our experience. In the end she stole my money and never sent edits, the original images were terrible. I hired Candace Wilson "Captured by Sinclair photography" to capture my daughters 1st birthday milestone shoot - She completely mislead me about her skills and services she would be providing. She sent over a contract for me to sign showing a dress she would provide, cake vendor she uses and we talked extensively about the petting zoo pony she used in her previous shoots(Clearly all too good to be true). We discussed a magical engaging experience and I even has some questions due to my childrens ages (1&2) about interaction with the pony posing etc. She reassured me everything would be great and she shoots toddlers all the time. She told me we would receive 15 or more photos, we planned to add the cake smash shoot to the pony shoot. She cancelled the shoot with no ETA of new shoot date, dared to message me day of the original shoot for the full amount even though we hadnt even had the shoot because she cancelled. Then she let me know a new date (by this time my daughters birthday had past by almost 2 months).. I was no longer interested in a cake shoot- but she insisted- she ordered it from a vendor so we had to keep it on the schedule... Fast forward to day of shoot - we live 2 hours away - we arrived at the new location she gave me, there was a shoot IN progress so we wait in the truck until that family finished, It then realized she has squeezed us into one of her "minis" - The "vendor" cake and props were literally a kroger $5 cake and dollar tree baskets she flipped over not actual dessert stands looked terrible and tacky - Nothing like what she sent as examples of what we would shoot.... There was no dress either, I switched her from what she was wearing to a dress I brought for dinner.. (and of course the icing stained the dress... ) The "petting zoo pony" Was a huge beautiful decorated horse - My husband who is allergic walked our son around while my daughter did her cake shoot - when he brought my son back, the horse handler YELLED at him to stay back and not approach the pony ( me knowing my husband was full well not approaching the pony and was only there because I forced him, this offset the tone of the shoot completely) Especially because in contract and msgs and previous shoots we were shown, the CHILDREN would be interacting with the "petting zoo pony" - Clearly she had a pony switch last minute and didn't feel it important to let her clients know. During the shoot I asked how many minis they had done so far and she told me 13- So she was just rushing us along - I paid double her "minis price" and she treated the shoot just like her other minis - Going to the car her daughter? a young female stood behind my vehicle and told us we aren't permitted to leave until we facebook pay her the remainder, odd but I paid then noticed she even charged me $5 more than her original quote - for the private shoot with 15+ images edited turned into a email telling me to choose 6 edits- looking through the images I was heartbroken we spent 4 hours driving, countless messages back and forth to prep for the shoot, and literally the worst images I have ever seen- The sun blew out most of them, they were blurry my children's eyes were closed, heads turned... Just terrible - my husband could of snapped some on his phone better quality. I told her I wasn't happy she asked " what do you want me to do" then offered MORE shoots (why would I put us all through that again?) She said let her edit some and then see what I think or she could offer a refund - I said ok... MONTHS go by and we don't get any edits... so I ask nicely again, She doesn't respond... THEN I said okay look at this point I just want a refund - She lets me know I had plenty of time to pickout what I wanted edited (completely ignoring that we previously talked about they weren't professional images) She blocks me and tells me she's not giving me a refund. So now my choices are to open a claim with BBB and possibly take her to small claims court to get $200 back - She is a completely unprofessional person that lied and said whatever she needed to say to get the deposit and get us to show up- she has 0 accountability for her work or attitude. I don't see this being a long term career for Candace Wilson but she sure scammed us and I'd hate for more people to have their milestone photoshoots ruined because of a scammer. I wish I could erase the entire experience but I'll never get that day back, or my $200 unless i take her small claims court - Hopefully this review helps others.

Just be dedicated and read it! Lane is a wonderful photographer with unique skills and a bubbly personality! She truly makes the sessions an experience, while feeling very comfortable. My first session was a mini, just before Christmas. The photos were filled with props and holiday spirit. This was prior to her studio. I know the studio has only improved her setups! We also had a session out in a park. It was late fall with not much color in the trees. She suggested a few different colors to go along with the fall theme and it turned out perfectly! The photos turned out unique and brought much happiness to my parents for a Christmas gift! Lane has affordable prices for the city of Indianapolis. The editing technique she uses and the amount of photos she generates from the sessions are impressive! The turn around rate for the photos is also quick and she is very good with communication. I truly hope you enjoy your experiences with Lane and the business she has grown!

So much so that my younger sister also had her pictures done by Sean as well! Sean was very easy to work with when initially setting up the logistics of the shoots. I knew more about where I didn't want to have my pictures done than actual suggestions of places, so I definitely leaned on him a lot to help me decide. He has so much experience in different locations and venues, so I fully trusted his input. We decided on the IMA for the fall and Broad Ripple for spring. The first session was shot solely by Sean. I brought a few outfits and my dad's 1950s MG (and my dad). Sean is so creative, and he has a multitude of ideas for shots by just looking around. We basically walked around to different areas, and I really didn't have to do anything. He coached me through all the poses and angles, which was awesome because I had no experience being in front of a camera. My dad loved all the pictures Sean took with his MG because he managed to make it look like I was driving through a field when I wasn't. The second session was with both Sean and Molly around Broad Ripple. It was a lot of fun being with both of them. Molly and Sean guided me around to the areas with the best back drop and took many unique shots. They both have so many ideas and know exactly how to optimize body position, facial expression, lighting, and surroundings to create a multitude of truly beautiful images. The finished product was incredible. They gave me a nicely-bound book of all the finished images, which my parents and I used to order prints. Every image was unique and beautiful, and there were so many to choose from. A lot of senior pictures look exactly the same, but Sean and Molly bring a lot of artistry into their photography. The end result is phenomenal, and I definitely plan to hire them for any future photography.

On top of all that, they were such great conversation and an absolute riot together! Although we had other photographers to meet, deep down, we knew they were the ones for us. We had two engagement shoots, one in the fall and one in the spring before the wedding. They suggested a few sessions so my wife and I could get comfortable in front of the camera. We were blown away by their work! My wife had never looked more beautiful in photos, and I didn't look half bad either! ;) We were so impressed with our engagement shots, we couldn't wait to see what they could come up with for our wedding. We asked Sean and Molly to come down a day early to shoot our rehearsal dinner. The venue was a dimly lit, speakeasy type lounge. Their experience shooting in low light paid off amazingly! The photos they took of our rehearsal captured each moment perfectly! We wanted the pictures to feel organic, and the love and joy in the room was perfectly preserved by the duo throughout the night. Their candid work is unmatched! We don't know how they made every little moment come to life, but they did, and we are so grateful! On the day of the wedding, Sean and Molly were the epitome of professionalism. Prior to the wedding, we had established a game plan for the day with them in order to ensure we would capture all the shots we wanted. They helped us stay on schedule without being pushy, and that helped the day go so much smoother! Their creativity, playfulness with light, and easy demeanor resulted in so many wonderfully captured moments, we couldn't be any happier! We wanted shots with our dog, Swag, check! The groomsmen walking around in silk kimonos, check! Me ugly crying at the first look, check! A special shot at one of my favorite campus landmarks, check! A signature Molin moment, check! (They took an epic shot of our wedding party in the auditorium seats that still has people wondering how it was pulled off!) Each shot was both tender and dramatic and exactly what we were looking for when we envisioned having photos of our day! Oh, and how can we not mention our reception photos?! Sean and Molly were all over the place capturing all the shenanigans going on through the night! From the father-daughter dance to our first dance as a couple, our friends and their dance battles to people smashing late night pizza delivery, nothing slipped past them throughout the night! My wife and I STILL go through these photos regularly, and we feel like we're right back in the mix of the celebration! It speaks to Sean and Molly's expertise and natural talent! To work with a husband and wife team means they are innately empathetic to what you want to accomplish on your day. You won't go wrong leaving the tremendous task of preserving your soon to be most cherished memories in their talented hands! We find ourselves lucky that our paths crossed with theirs in our search for wedding photographers. As we got to know Sean and Molly more, it only enriched and enlivened our experience. We are so happy they were there to capture and celebrate our big day, and we are even more grateful to call them friends. You won't be disappointed hiring this talented duo. We aren't, and we'll be sure to call on them anytime we want to capture the finest moments in our lives! Cheers!

Forget those cheesy photo booth photographers. TapSnap is the way to go! Anne owns the TapSnap 1184…read morefranchise here in Central Indiana. She is a blast to work with and makes the whole photo booth experience so fun. TapSnap is a freestanding touchscreen photo booth (frankly, looks like a supersized desktop computer). Anne sets up the green screen and from there she can change the background to look like you're under the Eiffel Tower or on a beach in Hawaii. She can even customize the background for your event! Not to mention you can add text and fun visuals digitally. Customers immediately get their photo emailed to them with easy options to share on social media. She can also print the pictures out on the spot. I think the best part is the customization. We used TapSnap for a Yelp partnership at the Stutz Open House, and the Yelp logo was on every photo and the email with pictures had a link to yelp.com and used our hashtag for the night. Great, simple way to integrate branding! TapSnap would be ideal for for corporate events, galas, parties, proms, festivals, etc. but the possibilities are really endless! I can't recommend Anne and TapSnap 1184 enough.

I recently had…read morethe pleasure of working with Anne (owner of TapSnap 1184) and she was such a delight to work with. I admit, I'm not the most techy of individuals and I needed some schooling on how this contraption worked. Anne explained the process fully and by the end of the night I may have stepped in and taken a photo or two just for funsies. Customization, customization, customization! The customization is endless. Anne brought fun props however with all the included features you wouldn't even need props. Anne did a great job directing the capture and helping guests choose the features they wanted to personalize. The photo is set to a green screen so guests could choose their backgrounds, add in various elements like celebrities, animals, hats, etc. If they wanted to appear to be holding a tropical drink on the beach while wearing a Hawaiian lei and a snorkel mask...no problem TapSnap could make it happen! Best part of the experience, attendees didn't have to wait to receive their individual photos. The pictures were instantly emailed to them and they could even share them on social media. I would highly recommend Anne with TapSnap 1184 for any type of fun event! 5 Stars for a great experience and excellent friendly professional service from Anne!
