uh oh, found another gem! these guys do something a little different from the typical photographers, and truly deserve a 5 star review so here goes:
first off, I take a TON of pictures of my kiddos, from cutesy mini sessions filled with props and cute backgrounds to standard family portraits and cheesy ones from JcPenney to fancy places like Yuen Lui Studios...i have found that you don't always get what you pay for. sometimes you pay a ton and feel totally hosed, and sometimes you feel like you underpaid since you got so many great pictures to treasure and savor!
1) these guys have the BEST props! the motorcycle, complete with leather jacket and jeans and bandanas...the fairy gear, the boxer, the fireman theme...too many themes to mention all in this review, but seriously, some great stuff so if u r into cute themed photo sessions, these guys are for you! check out their website and see their gallery...too cute!
2) they come to YOU! or your preschool. they don't charge an extra fee if u r far, and they are super duper flexible to when is convenient for you!
3) the way they work is you throw a "photo party" they come bringing all the props and you have your friends and their kiddos over and each kiddo gets a turn! you pick which theme you want, and they work their magic! afterwards you get to see the pictures and decide if you want to buy a little package or a big package or canvas prints, etc, etc...you buy as little or as much as you want! VERY AFFORDABLE!!!!!!!!!
4) THEY TAKE THEIR TIME! you don't feel like you have a 15 minute allotment and time is up, NEXT! not at all...my kids are butts. i am sort of a crazy person who does waaaaaaay too many photo sessions with my kiddos (i figure the more the merrier!) and sometimes they are great, but often times they are difficult and it takes time for them to get in position and smile and be cute. so i was very grateful that they were really patient and took the time to really get some good shots in!
5) Margaret, she is pretty meticulous and notices all the details. to get the photo just right, adjusting the collar so, fixing that stray hair, adjusting the dress to be more flattering...i stood there watching how she really focused on fixing all the little things and when you see the final product, it is some damn fine quality pictures!
6) the only con is...if u can even call it that, is how they don't come out for ONE family. its got to be like a group of 4-5 or more families that want to take pictures together (so its worth it on their side...but it makes total sense thou! you just gotta have some girlfriends that are like minded and want to do the same thing! **** a way around this is to try to get your kiddo's preschool to try them! that way everyone can enjoy them~ they are really flexible and super easy to talk to! *******
i'll be honest, this particular time around, my kids were like little demons. i was in LOVE with the motorcycle, and the leather jacket...oh man that was what i really really wanted...but my kids both had other ideas...my son was static cling to my butt and my daughter was truly being a pain since she is already used to Winter (another awesome find) and i thought i would not get any great shots...and i was very pleasantly surprised with the outcome! totally worth it!!!! they serviced my daughter's preschool recently, and i saw the work they did with some of her classmates...TOO CUTE!
the director of the school was so darn happy with how the pictures came out that they were invited to come back for the fall school pictures AND the upcoming holiday family photo session! yay for me since they will be doing it during school hours and i don't have to drive all over the place or skip work to make it happen~
overall, i am just so pleased with the quality of the pictures...i foresee many future photo sessions with them...and who ever has seen the pictures that they took are impressed! i'm gonna add some up here on yelp so u can be the judge! read more
