I received the photos from Todd before we even left OOB. We had a wonderful experience and are so thrilled with our pictures. Todd and Max, thank you so much for your excellent work, great customer service, and for making the whole experience so easy and comfortable for us!

The stepping stones, water features, and flowers provided a captivating backdrop. The photographer developed a friendly rapport with our son immediately, which worked wonders. We were allowed to change clothes during the shoot and had a wonderful relaxed day at the ocean capturing memories. Before I booked I asked if we would be provided a password-protected online web gallery with our proofs. I was told yes. That was a lie. About a month after the photo shoot we logged in to a screen-sharing program from Maine to Washington. We spoke on the phone with Lucia as she slowly showed us images to choose from. This was not a password-protected web page, this was a live duplicate of her computer's screen. From her desktop she controlled display of the images. She could click through on a thumbnail to enlarge a photo, and she could crop images if she so choose. She was driving. This was absolutely not a web page we could peruse at our leisure. The process of figuring out how much the package would cost was simply excruciating. To establish a price point we were told several times during the phone conversation, "The price depends on how many prints you get. I don't know how many you can't live without, so I can't answer your question now . . ." Seriously, that is a quote that I remember many months later. "I need to show you all of the photos before we can discuss price." Seriously. We asked four times and four times were told we could not discuss price. Then the sale needed be closed. Near the end of the call she proceeded to rattle off three or four packages which involved mental arithmetic so fast she lost my Microsoft software developer husband. We had to write down the prices. We had to ask her to and click on images, over, and over, and over. We couldn't see the images side by side. This may be shrewd business practice, but it is not the optimal customer service experience. The process bothered me a lot. The reason I felt so manipulated was because I was lied to about our being able to see the prints on a password-protected web page. That was false advertising. If you are reading my Yelp review and planning a photo shoot, please beware. If you do a wedding or other once-in-a-lifetime experience, I hope you can sign a contract in advance with the prices - not just of the shoot, but of the full package options. I did not ask for that in advance and I wish I had. Two more things I want potential customers to know: Number one, I had no itemized invoice. Yeah, that's kind of important, now that I think about it. I had no proof that I paid for a print to be shipped to my mother. When I called about a month after my mother's birthday I asked my mom about the print I had ordered for her. (Mom said she hadn't received anything.) I called Lucia immediately. Lucia checked my customer record, and said she could not immediately find an order for my mother. I persisted and asked her to look at my invoice. After several minutes she clicked a few buttons on her machine and said (with honest surprise in her voice), "Oh you DID order another print, but it was going to ship to another address." She apologized profusely. The 10"×10" print was sent to my mother; my mother was incredibly angry when I told her what happened. She said, "You should call the Better Business Bureau on them!" Number two, the company misrepresents the privacy practices they say there are providing to customers. Here is a quote from the e-mail that explained how I could get my digital download: "If you have any questions or problems downloading the filed [sic] please let us know, we will be happy to help! Once you have completed the download, please save it to your computer because the link on our site will only be available for download for [in red] 10 days." The digital downloads are still there today. The digital downloads of about a dozen other people are also there, with no password protection. The photography and resulting prints are five star work. Two stars means "meh, I've experienced better." I've worked with three other professional photography studios and never encountered this kind of foolishness.

From the moment we met them, my now-wife and I connected with their incredible friendliness and energy. From the moment we saw our pictures, we were blown away. Not only do we now consider Alice and Chris friends, but we have more beautiful images from our wedding than we could have ever imagined. Alice and Chris were professional and warm and thorough from the planning through the day of, and their obvious excitement and passion for what they do made it all the more fun for us as we were taking pictures. Every single person who has seen our wedding photos has commented on how stunning they are, and both of our families will be hiring Alice and Chris for every photography need in the future. We're certainly keeping them on notice when we're ready to start our own family :) Long story short: if you want stunningly gorgeous photos and photographers who become friends, look no further than Alice and Chris.

During the time we had for pictures with the family, we felt completely lost not knowing what to do next and looked to her for guidance, yet she provided none. She continued to photograph the wedding and all seemed well until they received their wedding photos back from her. Many of the photos they received were grainy and/or blurry and definitely not what we were expecting after viewing her work on the internet. Needless to say, our family is very disappointed in our experience with Chantal and we urge anyone considering her to seek out someone with more experience who knows what they are doing.

Sometimes it's tough to find a true professional. I'm happy to say I've found one in Joanne Lee…read more I've used Joanne professionally for business head shots and personally for photos of my children. Joanne is professional, responsive, efficient with proofs and, most importantly, very talented. I'm not the easiest person to photograph. Joanne kept me relaxed, put me in the right light, and set me in some great poses. I couldn't be happier with my business head shots. I decided to follow up on my great experience and have some holiday photos of my children taken. Joanne was even more impressive with my 2 and 4 year old. Anyone with children knows how tough it is to keep the little ones still for photos. Joanne took control of the situation and was able to keep the kids engaged, focused, and happy. No meltdowns whatsoever and we ended up with some fantastic photos we will treasure forever. I'm looking forward to using Joanne in the future. If you're looking for a talented professional who truly enjoys what they do you can't go wrong with Joanne
