I recently took my son's 2027 senior pictures, and unfortunately our experience was disappointing. What should have been an exciting milestone turned into an uncomfortable session because the photographer repeatedly made jokes at my son's expense. During the shoot, he commented multiple times about my son's height, joked that his younger siblings didn't have to "look very far up" to look up to him, laughed when my son talked about his future goals in sports, called him a "hot mess" after hearing he plays multiple soccer positions, and even asked if he wanted a Class of 2028 sign "just in case." Whether these comments were meant as jokes or not, they came across as belittling and unprofessional. Senior pictures are meant to celebrate a student's accomplishments and build their confidence, not make them feel like the punchline of repeated jokes. As a parent, it was heartbreaking to watch. My son handled it with grace, but no student should have to endure that during such an important milestone. I hope this feedback encourages more professionalism and kindness so future seniors have the positive experience they deserve. read more

Location: Milne Photography Date: July 31st, 2025 Service: High School Portraits It's the time of year in the Central Valley area for school yearbook and portraits. I received email notification weeks ago it's time to schedule my child for school portraits. Once we arrived we checked in the book and we were greeted immediately. We informed the staff my child is special needs with ADD and ADHD. They were able to accommodate and give him step by step instructions during the 15 minute photo session which we appreciated as a family. We paid online in advance for the scheduled session and at the session is when you actually purchase the photo packages range from A to C. The photo packages value prices are very reasonable for the area. We bought our own tie and suit jacket for the session. They offer a wide selection of poses and pictures for you to choose from. Overall the session was very enjoyable and fast especially when you have a child photo session. We strongly recommend you check out or schedule your next photo session for family, school, business or etc. read more

Would Never Recommend We scheduled a large family photo session with Milne Photography this past July because our father, who is in his late 70s, wanted one last professional photo with the entire family. This was a very meaningful occasion for us -- and unfortunately, the entire experience was terrible from start to finish. After spending over $2,000, we expected professionalism and care. Instead, we got weeks of delays and excuses. Our photos weren't ready until mid-October, nearly three months later, because (as we were told) they were "behind with senior photos." It was clear that our family wasn't a priority -- unless you're a high school senior, you're put on the back burner here. To make matters worse, after being told our photos would be ready by Friday afternoon, we got a call from Heidi at 3 p.m. saying they still weren't ready and we'd need to come back Monday morning. It really felt like they just wanted to leave early rather than finish our order as promised. Then came another disappointment: we were charged over $200 for facial retouching on a few of the grandkids, and the edits looked unnatural and distorted. When we finally received our photos, the faces looked off -- not something you'd proudly frame after spending thousands of dollars. Lastly, we were told that, given the size of our purchase, we'd have access to a digital album with all of the photos taken during our session. That turned out to be false -- they only shared seven photos of their choosing, and some of the photos we actually ordered weren't even included. Overall, our experience was deeply disappointing. This was supposed to be a cherished family memory, and instead it was a frustrating ordeal. If you're not a high school senior, don't expect to be treated like a priority here. We will never use Milne Photography again. read more

I think the food is awesome. Some of the reviews I read are so so. The food has always been excellent and the service is great.

Prices were not discussed prior to the session, for a one hour session it was almost $3,000. Photos came out ok but not worth the price! If Milne Photography is going to charge these outrageous prices they should be more transparent about their charges!! read more

Wonderful photographer! Did a fabulous job with my 10 month old baby girl. She's a little hesitant with strangers but was comfortable with Tom. I was extremely impressed with his setup. Thank you for capturing memories of our little one! read more

Awesome all around. Everybody there has a great personality and is very flexible. Compared to other photo studios, Milne photography seriously takes things a notch up when it comes to the whole experience. The results are actually so much better than other places that my negative opinion about the price was totally wiped away. We did family portraits and baby pictures...they even heated up their studio to prep for our newborn's visit without us even requesting it. read more

This has been the most fun I have had taking pictures. Tom was also so willing to add "Kermit" to the shoot instead of using him to entertain the kids. A last minute change and he was soooooo accommodating. His staff is also wonderful and very patient while we tried to decide which pictures we wanted. Would easily return and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation read more

See all

I have used Milne Photography for many things over the years! I love their dedication to detail and capturing portraits that we last me a lifetime! They offer many portrait rewards and the highest quality prints. I recommend all my friends and family. Look forward to our next session! read more

My daughter had a photoshoot there earlier. We felt completely deceived by this place. I don't know if it was deliberate on their end, but when I called them to inquire about their rates, I was not told that there would be additional charges for the pictures. The lady I spoke to told me that their fee for a studio shoot is either $59 or $39. I opted for the former after taking her advice because it included a longer session, two different backgrounds, and two outfit changes. We arrived to their studio with high hopes, but once the shoot started, we noticed that the photographer seemed to be in a hurry. He was able to accommodate two backgrounds albeit hastily. My daughter was not able to have two outfit changes, though. Even though the shoot had felt rushed, we were still optimistic about the entire experience-- until we were told that we would have to pay a minimum of $159 for the prints and that the $59 was only a session fee. We were also handed a brochure with prices that made my head spin. Now my husband is upset with me because we actually did find the shots that were taken very beautiful, but the prices for the prints were just absurd. Had we known that we were going to have to pay an extra $159 for a single picture, we would have gone elsewhere. Hint: To a place that is a lot cheaper. When we were given our bill, I felt so discombobulated that I needed time to process it all in. A few minutes after we got home, I decided to call Milne. I spoke to Christy (not sure if that's her name) and told her that the additional charge for the prints were not mentioned to me when I called to inquire and book the appointment. She didn't even bother to apologize nor admit to their error. She just kept reiterating that the $59 was only a session fee. It would've saved us all a lot of trouble if this was properly communicated to us prior to the shoot, specifically when I inquired. read more

AMAZING!!!! Milne is an amazing photographer, my daughter and son both loved the photo shoot. He is the only photographer that has been able to get both my kids to smile thru the entire shoot. there were so many photos to choose from it was very hard to choose just a few. I would recommend in a heart beat. read more

I've been taking my boys here for their Santa pictures for the last two years and it has taken the stress out of the whole process. I'm able to make an appointment, which means not waiting in line with small children at a mall (hallelujah!) Also, the photos turn out great every time. Definitely a good value for the quality of pictures and the excellent customer service. read more

Like a previous reviewer, I felt completely deceived by this place. Krysta, the manager, told me after my photo shoot that I could get additional photos at a discounted rate, and when I tried to take her up on it, she said I would have to pay for an entirely new photo shoot and that the discounted rate only applied to photos already taken of me. On top of that, she was very rude and unpleasant. read more

Milne Photography Studio is always there when I need them. Top level service and extremely professional. When I have a project to complete and need photos taken, I send them over to Milne and I never have to worry about quality or service. Thank you Krysta. Year in and out, you deliver. read more

I am very familiar with Tom Milne and his work. Although he is a good photographer his fees are very deceiving and confusing. When I booked a family session we paid a sitting fee. I knew there would be costs for the pictures or to purchase the CD. I asked for the costs and was handed a fancy brochure that tells you the sitting fees only. After we had a very quick 30-40 minute session in his backyard I went to the register and asked about specific costs. She gave me every confusing explanation of this that and whatever but strategically avoided the specific answer of how much a picture costs. I pressed her and finally she says it would be 2400 dollars for 5 pictures that I can print myself at horn or Costco for way cheaper. I asked to purchase the CD and they will not sale you the CD period until you spend 1900 and than will only give you rights to 3 images. Milne photography is all about the money and his costs are absurd!! There is plenty of of photographers in this town that will shoot a beautiful outdoor pic and sale the CD for 350.00. Plenty. I called and told the front desk we would not be in to even view the photos and I knew they were great but could not afford them. Tom called me back to say "I heard you were upset and hung up on my staff". I never did that ever first of all and then he proceeded to tell me he would be raising his prices in January again. He did offer to give me back my sitting fee but seriously the time we took to get 5 people dressed and hair done and eye lashes on etc was way more important than his 50 bucks consolation. Very disappointed. read more
