We met Amin at a Bridal show in New Orleans. After signing up for a contest, we received a…read morenotification stating that we won a free engagement shoot, which included 1 free print. We had a consultation for the engagement shoot, which included a consultation for wedding services (at the time we were looking to hire a videographer/photographer). Amin was adamant about skipping the free engagement session and adding it into our wedding package which would give us an additional 2 hours of coverage (since the engagement shoot is 2 hours as a stand alone service). He also asked us to prepare at least 3 outfits to change into. After reviewing the quote for the wedding services, we told Amin that we needed some time to make a decision. We then started to receive miscellaneous emails pressuring us to book his services at a discount. The emails were endless, and came from 2-3 different emails addresses. Some emails didn't pertain to us at all and the confusion became overwhelming. Out of frustration, as a new bride to be, I told my partner that I wasn't comfortable with booking someone who seemed so forceful and unorganized. By unorganized I mean the following. He would send repetitive emails asking us to book our consultation. However, we had already had a phone consultation weeks prior. I reached out to Amin informing him that we wouldn't be moving forward with wedding services, but we would like to continue moving forward with the free engagement session. Suddenly, the email stopped. I then reached out to see what we needed to do to schedule the free engagement shoot and how to prepare. Amin emailed me a few days later asking for dates/ times, locations and to create a vision board on Pinterest. We're not from New Orleans, so I asked for suggestions on locations, in which he provided. I did everything he asked of me and a few days later, I sent an email with dates and times as we discussed. He CONFIRMED and from that point forward there was no communication. Two weeks prior to the event, my partner reached out to Amin for additional confirmation. Amin told my partner that he never received a date, time or location from me. I forwarded the emails to Amin where he confirmed the date, time and receipt of our Pinterest board. I also told him the location (NOMA) which was his suggestion. He didn't respond to me for a few days. About a week prior to our shoot, we received an email with the date, no time, and location listed as City Park. NOMA (the museum) is located in City Park so I thought nothing of it. Realizing that the newest email didn't list the original agreed upon time, I asked if we could change it from 2pm (which is what he confirmed then said he never heard from me about a time) to 4pm. Amin confirmed and I thought we were all set. The day of, we get to City Park at the museum ( NOMA) then called him because he was no where to be found. He told me he was at Cafe Du Mondè, which is not what we discussed. Again, we aren't from the area, so it took us about 10 minutes to find his location. We pull up, and there's a huge gazebo, a playground and a lot of grassy areas. Let me not forget to mention, there were a ton of people, kids and dogs in the area. This didn't align with our agreed upon vision therefore, we weren't dressed casually and there was a current high wind advisory for that area. At that time, I told my partner that I didn't want to continue with the shoot. My partner had to walk the park and find Amin and by the time he was found, it was about 20 minutes past our shoot time. My partner asked what the mix up was and Amin stated that NOMA had to be paid for and we had to do a lot of walking because we only had 20 minutes left, since we were "late". When my partner confronted Amin about the time, he stated that we were only receiving 1 hour. I would like to add that NOMA is free on Wednesdays to anyone with a LA state license. I would also like to add that Amin never gave a clear indication that he would be anywhere else besides NOMA which is in City Park. Amin didn't communicate his location or that he wouldn't be meeting us at NOMA until we called him because we couldn't find him at NOMA. We are out of hundreds of dollars in preparation for this shoot and now we have to find someone else at the last minute. Amin is unorganized, rude, lacks communication in the areas that are relevant and specific to his clients (too many unnecessary automated emails), inconsiderate, irresponsible and lacks compassion. Everyone who gave Amin a 1 star review and labeled him as a scammer has been absolutely correct and I wish I would've read the reviews prior to communicating with him.

Buyer beware!! This review is to serve warning to any future…read morepeople that are interested in using Kaylyn King/ It's a King Thing Photography as a photographer. My family and I had a session with her Thanksgiving 2019 for approximately 30 mins at a location in Corpus Christi, TX. We received raw pics a few days later to choose specific photos for her to edit. Our package included 5 edited photos with the option to purchase more at $3 each. We chose a total of 12 images. A week after the choices, we revived the first 'edits.' Example will be included! The editing that she had done turned our pictures orange. Everything from skin to the landscape had an orange look. We contacted her and said we did not like the orange filters. She changed them from orange to yellowish. We messaged her again. This time we asked for just the raw prints, no edits. She refused to give the raw prints that we purchased without editing. However, she stated she would re-edit, to our liking, but it would cost more money than we had paid already! No where in her contract does it state that editing is an additional fee! She stated in a text she gives 'two tweaks' for free, but then you have to pay for editing. Please be aware that the quality of pictures that she has posted in her portfolio is not what you'll get. She seems to think that she has final editing control of your photos without regard to your personal taste. Beware that she will try to gouge you for more money to get the photos you desire! For my situation, I've lost money and photos because I refuse to pay more for a service already paid once for. Pictures are unusable as well. Please look elsewhere for a photographer!
