Our 19-year-old is graduating this year, and we decided to do a few family photos, as well. We chose a scenic local park for the backdrop for our pictures. Rueben was laid back and easy going. As candid shots work best for our family, we gave him free reign to utilize his artistic skills and click away as he saw creative opportunities. Our boys took to Rueben immediately and loved the camera. Talk about photo bombing! Rueben got some great shots of both boys, our whole family, and even a few of just my husband and me. His turn around time for the pictures was SPEEDY! The photos were phenomenal; Rueben has a good eye. Although a handful of our pictures were posed, he was able to capture moments of interaction, emotion, and personality. Thanks so much, Rueben! #highlyrecommend #value #cherishedmoments

She was incredibly friendly and responded quickly over email. During the session, she was great about making us feel comfortable, and she captured some wonderful candid moments. I loved that she didn't make every shot feel posed. She gave us a little guidance on how to situate ourselves for the shot, but then allowed us to interact with each other as we naturally would. The wait time for final photos was so short, and we loved how quickly we got to see the great work she did! These photos will last a lifetime. I'm so glad we chose Peaks+Waves Portraits to capture this special time in our lives.

A bit less than meh…read more Made an appointment for the Short pump location to memorize my little ones first Christmas and making 6 months. I was traveling and took a recommendation that this location was well organized. The wait was fairly long especially since appointments are required, this was expected as it was holiday season. The open studio was unexpected however and makes for distracted babies and nosey patrons while your ten to fifteen minute session is occurring. Although I found the photographers pleasant & friendly, they lack the variety of options I prefer in a photo shoot. I suppose this to be expected at a strip mall studio. After your fifteen minutes you're ushered over to review 'packages'. Since we don't live local, I wanted to purchase these entire CD of shots and print at my own discretion at home. This is NOT a purchasing option however. You MUST select the poses you wish to purchase and a silly little vignette shadow is placed around your favorite shots. Problem is I don't want or need 10x13 images, so I asked could they be smaller. For example 2 5×7s versus 1 10x13. The sales clerk couldn't understand my request and kept explaining that it wasn't an option. The best she could do is an 8x10. Any images NOT selected for printing are unavailable to you. I asked about postcards/Christmas cards and was informed they can print them for me. Roughly $1.00 each, but they're printed on photo paper and NOT card stock, so you'd need to purchase envelopes which makes the process useless. I then asked about printing locally where I live. I explained I live in SoCal and would like to print once home. I was told I can go into any location to have items printed.......BUT, this company has 0 locations in California and the sales clerk didn't even bother to look. For the 9 poses I purchased, of which I DIDN'T want printouts but HAD to have because that's how they work, I paid $290. For that amount I could have hired a professional photographer who would have come to my location for an hour shoot, done proper edits, and provided the entire shoot digitally. I'm not impressed and would not recommend.

Pictures were terrible, head cut off, fake backgrounds, poor posing, poor lighting, no editing,…read morecheap props, disorganized photographer. I had my 3 month old in there and he was starting to get fussy after an hour of picture taking so I told the photographer that he was done. She told me that she had to take 60 pictures per company policy. So, she was just shooting to hit the mandated quota and my 3 month old was miserable. After the session was done they tried to sell me ridiculous amounts of pictures (that were terrible) and charge $600. When I asked how much for 2 or 3 pictures they refused to give me a straight answer. Almost like they can not sell just one or two pictures. Then the package that I ordered came with a canvas. Well, they checked me out (never giving me a receipt) and sent me out the door. Later I realized I was missing the canvas so, I had to call back up there and they explained that it had to be ordered and would be shipped to the store. (Never explained to me when I was there) So, here we are over a month later and I still have not heard a word from them about the canvas. I would not waste your money going here.

He told us after we got there once the young ladies in front of us were done we could connect with Bluetooth to play our own tunes while we took pictures! He gave us a flash fob for our phone so we could easily take pictures and a tripod selfie stand to help us take good photos! The couple areas we were sad about is: AC was either off or not working which made it really hot in the building because, it's a brick building it radiated heat inside. Also it was obvious a few rooms were in transition changes... which made us sad cause one room I was looking forward to was a purple room with a bike and we got there no bike. Also they had transitioned their swing room from yellow to pink which I wasn't necessarily sad about but my besties favorite color is yellow so I had hyped up this room only to not have it for our photos. So all in all I would definitely go back so I could see what new things they do with some of the rooms! And the customer service spot on! I think it would be wise if they put on their gallery photos rooms subject to change! Just so people know they may not get a certain room everytime. BUT GO HAVE FUN CHECK THEM OUT!! It was lovely and clearly the people who own and run it have fun with it!!!

I have to relay my experience at butler studios. Some background, I am a single mother, a nurse,…read moreand I have two rescue dogs. I live paycheck to paycheck and I do not ever treat myself to luxury experiences or expensive items, simply because I do not have the money to do so. I won the promotion for fur baby portraits on instagram and the next day I was contacted by a representative at butler studios. There had been a cancellation on saturday and I was able to get in the same week. Early on Saturday morning I packed up my dogs (a three legged a pitbull and a half blind half dead chihuahua) and my 16 year old daughter and we drove the three hours to Tidewater Virginia. The minute we parked at the waterfront I knew that this was a very elegant place. As we stepped into the building, I was confronted with large oil portraits of different people, children, weddings, graduation, and pets. An associate brought us to a a small waiting room and handed us a leather-bound waiver portfolio that said welcome (last name) family. I have never done a professional photograph before so I was not sure what to expect. Zach the photographer later brought us back and he was incredibly personable, professional, and really good with dogs. He probably took about 50 pictures of different combinations/poses of the four of us. We were then directed to make ourselves comfortable in the building. We sat in the parlor with the floor to ceiling windows looking out of the window while a player piano softly played music. Then we were brought back to a private viewer area where another associate showed us the pictures with a projector on the wall. They turned out SO excellent! The woman who had brought us into the viewing room proceeded to give us a rundown of different options of a portrait being printed. We politely listened and then I told her that I didn't have any extra money to spend on a $5000 dollar oil painting or even a $200 printed canvas. She expressed understanding and let us know that we had an 8 by 10 complimentary coming toys i a. few weeks and that we could choose the photo that we liked the most. I cannot express how special this place made me feel and I would highly recommend it for anyone doing wedding portraits or doing special occasion portraits, and I will probably use them in the future if my daughter ever gets married. Five stars, top of the line, check it out!

I would consider them crooks...and again I don't say that lightly. My husband and I, like the majority of everyone else in these reviews, won a "complimentary" pet portrait, I've attached an example of the verbiage to this review. We show up, have a blast taking the pics, then we get sit down to choose them...I thought something was off when they started the presentation with payment plan options....turns out the little "$500" means nothing when these portraits minimum start at 2.2k. We felt backed against the corner, threw it on a credit card, and walked out like did that just happen??? Then fast forward 3 months to pick it up, it comes with NO FRAME! No one told us that we paid for a picture on cardboard for 2.2k. Genuinely mind blowing. Putting people in uncomfortable positions and misleading them is NOT a way to do business.
