Do Not Let Harmony at White Studios Take Your Senior's Pictures…read more I'm incredibly disappointed with my recent experience at White Studios during my son's senior portrait session, specifically with the photographer, Harmony. I was so excited for this special day--an important milestone for my son and our family--but Harmony's unprofessional and condescending behavior completely ruined it. When it came time for the cap and gown pictures, my son's hair was sticking out from the cap. I walked over with my phone to take a close-up picture, intending to show my son how it looked so he could fix it before the professional shots. What happened next was shocking--Harmony waved her hand just inches from my son's face and my phone, an unnecessary and aggressive gesture. Not only was this unprofessional, but it was also rude and completely uncalled for. She then proceeded to address me as "mom" in a condescending tone, telling me repeatedly, "Mom, you need to step aside, you are not allowed to take pictures." I calmly explained that I was just trying to help my son adjust his hair before the shoot, but she continued to repeat herself dismissively, ignoring my explanation. I fully understand that the studio has rules about parents taking pictures during sessions. However, her tone and behavior were entirely disrespectful. I wasn't trying to conduct my own photo shoot--just a quick shot to help my son look his best for her camera. After the session, I spoke with several other parents who had their children's portraits taken at White Studios. To my surprise, none of them reported a similar experience. In fact, their photographers had been much more accommodating, even allowing them to snap photos in the background with no fuss. It was clear that Harmony's conduct was not the norm. I left the studio upset, to the point where I cried on the drive home. This was supposed to be a memorable, joyful day for my son, and instead, it turned into a stressful and disappointing ordeal. My son even became concerned because of how upset I was. This is not the experience anyone should have when capturing such an important moment in their child's life. To make matters worse, I've attached a photo of Harmony's hand nearly touching my phone--it was that close to my face. Any closer, and it could have been considered an assault. I can't help but wonder if Harmony has any understanding of what it's like to be a parent, especially one watching their first child prepare to graduate. Senior portraits are a milestone, and the emotional significance of this time is something she seemed completely indifferent to. I hope White Studios takes this complaint seriously, as no parent should ever leave a session feeling the way I did. Professionalism and respect go a long way, and sadly, Harmony displayed neither.

The Edits are expensive and you can only edit your personal portraits so class photos you will still be darker than what you really are. Anyway, edits word but like I said very expensive for the color lighting corrections Well, just keep that in mind and you should be fine. By the way, the photographs are friendly

As people, I can't imagine a team working better together. They made us feel totally confident in their vision from the first moments.

For all of the "what ifs" and stressors that could happen throughout wedding events, we never once questioned the Balerina team. The way they captured our love and story will be forever cherished. Beautiful people, beautiful art. We love you Balerina!

About ten minutes into our consultation, I knew he was the guy for me. I wanted to shoot a series of twelve videos in one day, which Lance was totally cool with. He arrived at about 7:00 in the morning, bright-eyed and ready to go. Although we ended up finishing at about 10:00 in the evening, Lance and my makeup artist kept the day flowing with jokes and fun. It was one exhausting, but super fun day. Upon editing, he got the brilliant idea of incorporating cartoons into the videos, making them more engaging to the viewer, thus keeping them on my page longer. Lance was nothing short of professional, meeting every deadline and working with me when talking about edits. In fact, the videos were so amazing, I've used him again for additional videos and home tours and my experience has never been anything but exceptional! I would not hesitate, even for a minute, to refer Lance to friends or clients. He is an absolute pleasure to work with!

Chasing Pleasures is the place to go to make that happen, but I had no idea just how much they'd come through for us. Imagine this: you're trying to remember every last detail - outfits, snacks, wipes, you name it - while gathering up your kids, yourself, and your husband, all dressed and ready to get out the door. After all that, we barely made it to the studio on time, and of course, it wasn't until we walked in that I realized I'd forgotten to check if my all-black shirt was free of lint. That's when Andy, without skipping a beat, pulled out a lint roller and saved my day. It was such a small thing, but in that moment, it meant everything. Chasing Pleasures is a family company, and they get it - they know what families need before we even realize we need it. Thanks to them, what felt like a monumental task turned out to be a breeze. Thank you, Chasing Pleasures, for making something that seemed so hard feel so simple.
