I didn't receive the final pictures until September 15. I reached out several times asking for updates and was completely ignored. The lack of communication and professionalism was unacceptable. I would never recommend her to anyone do yourself a favor save yourself the stress and go somewhere else.

I took maternity photos, the shoot went well. I expected more options for what I paid. Once the…read moreshoot was done she promised me she would have my photos back in enough time to display them at my baby shower. She wrote the day down that I needed them by and told me to text her a day before to remind her. When I texted her I heard nothing back from her. She ignored me for several days then responded saying her "computer broke" and she was waiting for a new one. Her computer breaking had nothing to do with her phone and texting me back. If her computer really broke I feel like she would have said that when I initially texted her. Anywho, she then texted me stating I could pick out 3 backdrops to add to my photos free of charge because she didn't get my photos back to me on time. I sent her the backdrops I wanted with the pictures I wanted them on and still have not heard from her. This was over two moths ago! She is kind of unprofessional in my opinion for the price she charges. If you want someone honest with good quality and communication, I would recommend going elsewhere. My photos were just okay, I've had better, but wanted to give someone new a chance. She was also late to the studio for the session. I don't recommend this photographer.

I regretted this decision as my husband passed away two months after our boy was born. They were both so apologetic and kind and invited me back when I was ready to take baby pictures for me. I reached out again when I had reached a safe point in my grief when he was 9 months old. They even took some photos of him with his grandmothers as a combined grandmothers, baby, and mommy and me shoot. Not only did they capture one of my favorite times in his babyhood, they we so sweet with all the grandmas. They navigated a grumpy baby and were so understanding. With it still being 90+ degrees in fall you can only imagine. Thank you again for your empathy and kindness it cannot be duplicated.

I said I would give another try this year maybe they improved but unfortunately this will be my last and not coming back.

I'm a busy person and have no time driving back and forth and I just waited my time here for nothing.

Our most recent visit was behind our schedules time, but I think that is legitimate being a weekend day during the holiday picture season.

For those reasons we buy the membership and use it at least quarterly.
