Weird because we were always talking by phone or text, but to cancel she used e-mail. She is a student and was likely too busy with school to bother calling me? Gillian refused to honor the groupon and I had 2 days to find another photographer for my son's birthday. FUN! It looks as though she didn't think the money $75 groupon for 1 hour was enough for her efforts? I felt so stupid. It seemed to me by the way she treated me that she was immature and unreliable... and since she said she didn't care if I gave her a bad review. Here it is...Then she went to her facebook account to bad mouth me and call me names and tell her friends a different story.... here is what she posted: "...Then told me I'm unprofessional and to expect a negative review. OK but she's gonna be in for a surprise when she realizes Groupon won't let you leave a review until the voucher is redeemed. Also lol fuck off" A lot of integrity huh, Gillian?. And then Gillian posted this: "She left me a review on thumbtack..... Which i don't even use. Plus I can post a response to her review, which I did. Lol. Bitch". I have print screen of everything Gillian -- you can delete it now, but I have the history. This is Rochester -- a small city being professional is very important. It seems very naive of you to go to you friends and potential clients on Facebook to badmouth a customer... and I don't care. But your reputation should. By the way on her facebook she says family photos isn't even what she would like to do for living...I have a print screen of that too. Good luck!

I have worked with Lauren as our event photographer since 2013. I've hired her to photograph over…read more50 of our events. AMAZING. She's so easy to work with, responsive via email when I reach out about upcoming opportunities, and prompt. She always clearly sets expectations and pricing for what she can provide, how long it will take her to edit and send the photos, which always come through Dropbox in a timely manner. If there are occasions where she isn't available, she's provided recommendations for other photographers with a similar style. Any opportunity to recommend her to people seeking event or wedding photographers, she's the gal I suggest. Can't wait to continue this relationship for many occasions to come!

She was easy to communicate with and was prompt at answering any questions. Our package included engagement photos so we were able to meet and work with Lauren before the wedding and get comfortable working together. Right away I knew we had made a good choice in hiring Lauren. She coordinated everything, helped us decide on a beautiful location for the pictures and put us at ease being in front of the camera. Come the day of the wedding it felt more like Lauren was a friend rather than a vendor. She did a great job of organizing and keeping our wedding party and families on task. No easy feat! Lauren was able to get beautiful photos of every aspect of the wedding without ever being intrusive. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for professional photographer.

My husband and I are still getting compliments on the photo we chose as our thank you card. (See below) I like how he sits you down to discuss your wedding vision. Then he asks you whats important to make sure he captures. I asked for him to get lots of photos of my mom with her family and siblings specifically since she was fighting cancer. We're glad he asked and we're glad he delivered! Make sure Michael is on your list for interviews when your checking out your photography options. You won't regret it!!

I heard good things about One Sharp Joe and decided to give them a go--and I'm so glad that I did. I am not particularly keen on having my picture taken but from the very start, Joe made me feel very much at ease on the other side of the lens. He has a way of quickly building rapport and trust as he draws you into the posing process. I am no professional model, but he made me feel like one. The end result was even better than I had hoped and I really couldn't be happier with the final shots. If you are looking for a portrait that rises far above the mundane, you would do well to give One Sharp Joe a try. Highly recommended!
