We have had the great pleasure of working with Marla two times for family portraits and I cannot…read moresay enough great things about her and her artwork. My oldest child is 16 and I dragged her to every portrait studio under the sun and was always disappointed with the photos: they looked like school pictures each and every time. Then we met Marla through one of her children. We met her at a park for photos of our three children and I have never witnessed someone so at ease with her clients, surroundings, and camera. When we met her in her studio to review the photos she had taken, we had such a hard time choosing which pictures to order: they were all beautiful and captured our children's personalities perfectly. We ordered more photos than we expected going in, but it was just so difficult to decide. She is always so gracious with sending us a few extra prints too, which says something about her customer service. I get the feeling that she looks at all of her clients as family members and gives her best every time. We had her take photos of the entire family a few years later and she continues to capture our children perfectly in photos. She is very flexible and accomodating with her time and camera. I have photos from both sessions hanging in a few rooms in our home and countless friends and acquaintances have remarked on the beautiful photos on our walls. These are all the work of Marla. Yes, you will pay for high quality photos, but you get what you pay for, and working with Marla from start to finish, each time, is worth every single penny. You won't be sorry.

He delivered pleasant images that captured our happy family in a great springtime setting. The photo shoot was fun and we all felt good throughout the shoot. My 6-year-old granddaughter even asked him to take a special picture of her holding a flower she picked and he was great with her. The picture is so cute! Coordinating with hiim was fairly easy since I don't live in the state so we had to work through email. We are enjoying the pictures from this special occasion. Michael was good to work with after the shoot to edit some pictures to focus on certain people. The only drawback, and maybe this is a lesson learned for me, was to check out his pricing before agreeing to the shoot. In my past experience with other photographers at other places in the country, the prints and digital copies were much less expensive. I didn't check this out before hand - oops. He also inadvertently didn't provide his price sheet before the shoot, which he should have. That limited what the family could afford. From what I have been told, he is about mid-range for the area. Michael worked with me to make sure our family was satisfied. Overall, he was great to work with, organized, pleasant, and conscientious in working with us to our satisfaction.

The Shoot Media really dropped the ball when it came to communicating effectively to me and their…read moreteammates. First of all, Tyler did not make it clear to me that he would not be photographing our wedding. This wasn't a huge deal, but when I noticed two weeks prior to the date and Tyler wasn't responding, it made me very nervous. Tyler ultimately reassured me that his associate would take care of us on our wedding day. Unfortunately, Tyler & Isadora both did not communicate with Brandon to tell him of the two different shooting locations. I sent over numerous itineraries and gave the address of the first location at least three times to the Shoot Media team. When photos were to begin at 4pm the day of the wedding, our photographer was nowhere to be seen and I couldn't get a hold of anyone for at least 30 minutes. Brandon had showed up to our second location that was an hour away from our getting ready site. He even argued that he was not contracted to come to the location our whole bridal party was at. Finally, after some tears and a few phone calls, Brandon showed up around 5:30pm. Photos were rushed and both the photographer and I were feeling very frustrated at this point. I'm certain his photography skills were affected by the mess. Guests even commented on how unfriendly he was. Ultimately, this caused us to lose all of our getting ready photos and many special moments with family and friends. Precious memories went undocumented and a tremendous amount of stress was placed on me due to their lack of organization and communication. I was even scrambling around calling family friends to come take photos, as I really thought I was being stood up. Both Isadora & Tyler have apologized since the ordeal and I was compensated with a half refund. I am hoping the photos come back quickly, as this has been the most stressful experience I have ever had with a vendor. Update: It's been a month & half and I still have not received my photo gallery.
