**Complaint / Statement:** I am filing a complaint regarding a payment of **$800** made in September-October 2025 for a "She Is Atlanta" with Nicole Barton photography and docuseries package. The package explicitly included: * One digital photo file * A five-minute docuseries video episode * Hair and makeup for the session * Consultation and photoshoot services To date, I have received only **one digital photo**. The five-minute video and other contracted services have **not been delivered**, despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with the business. I have requested a **partial refund of $500**, reflecting the undelivered portion of the services. The business has failed to provide the refund or a confirmed delivery timeline. **Attachments / Evidence:** 1. I have a signed contract 2. Payment confirmation is available 3. Email correspondence showing repeated requests for delivery or refund **Note:** Nicole Barton may claim this is a "fake review," as I see her doing with other reviews but I welcome verification -- feel free to **call me directly** to confirm these details. All email communications are attached for reference. I am seeking: * A **refund of $500** for the undelivered portion of the package * A **prompt response** from the business to resolve this dispute **Other actions already completed:** 1. Filed a complaint with the **Georgia Consumer Protection Agency** 2. Filed a complaint with the **Federal Trade Commission (FTC)** 3. Filed a **fraud alert with my bank** to recover funds for services not received 4. Will pursue a **small claims lawsuit** if Nicole Barton does not issue a refund of at least $500 within **seven (7) business days** 5. Filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau I recommend others to do the same as these scammers/con artists posing as legit businesses must be stopped. I gave Nicole every opportunity to correct this and acted in good faith in doing so. But she will not take $800.00 from me.

Nicole Barton Photography - The small digital photo is all I have received from an $800.00 photography. I had a better photo shoot a while back for less and more pics. - Session Photography Near Me

Nicole Barton is welcoming and encouraging throughout your shoot! As a first-timer, she exudes professionalism in her studio. She has an eye! read more

I had a very disappointing experience with Nicole Barton Photography. I paid $1,000 for photos that were honestly mediocre in quality. Later, I found out that two of my friends were able to purchase all of their images for around $100, even though I was told there would be no sale or option like that. When I asked about this difference, she was dismissive and rude rather than understanding. I believe customers deserve honesty, consistency, and respect--none of which I experienced here. I would not recommend working with this photographer. read more

If I could give no stars I would. I worked with Nicole in and was deeply disappointed by the experience. I encountered behavior that was not only unprofessional but also offensive, including the use of racial slurs and appropriation of cultures in a performative and disrespectful manner. I felt misled going into the project. I want others, especially BIPOC clients, to be aware before considering this service. This was my personal experience. I want others to be informed. read more

Loved all my photos Nicole took of my boys. She managed to get great shots despite both of the boys being crabby at the start of it. Will definitely recommend her and use her again!!! read more

My daughter had a mini princess shoot with Nicole and it was amazing! Before even viewing the photos I was satisfied with everything about the shoot. The set up was amazing, she was so pleasant and it was natural. My daughter is 4 and she worked well with her, captured her natural expressions and her personality very well. I am so happy that we had this opportunity. It was AMAZING! read more

Nicole Barton Photography - Mini princess shoot. - Session Photography Near Me

I have used Nicole's services six different times. Every time I was extremely pleased with the photos and customer service. Nicole is patient and kind. My boys 2 and 7 love her and she does a great job getting candid shots and pictures that bring out their true personalities. I liked her photos so much I worked with my son's preschool to have her take the school photos this year. I have told many others about Nicole and will continue to do so. Her prices are great and her photography is beautiful. I really like that she gives you options and allows you to purchase the CD of photos for a very reasonable price! I have recieved tons of compliments on the photos she has taken of my family. My favorite so far was our Huck Finn photo shoot - So much fun!! She is and will continue to be my go to gal for photos! read more

I have known Nicole for a while now, on a more casual basis because of family. I needed to get some quick photos last year and hired her for professional head shots. She did a great job. That led to me hiring her again to photograph my business partner and I together for marketing images, again, great job. Most recently she did my son's high school senior portraits as well as the graduation ceremony pictures. I cannot tell you how much of a blessing that was! She took great pictures which we used for the graduation announcements and the stress of not having to photograph the ceremony or family pictures after was priceless! I absolutely love Nicole, easy to work with, great personality, good eye for detail. Highly recommend if you're in East Contra Costa County - she travels and has a studio. read more

I love that she gives you your images on a disc so you can print whatever you want and don't feel rushed to choose or like you missed one. All in all she is a great photographer and we will definitely be hiring her again. read more

I have had Nicole do our family pictures and absolutely loved her and them! The photos brought out the best in all of us! She came to our home for the sitting and couldn't have been more professional! Her prices are so reasonable too! We are hiring her again to come photograph my granddaughter and nephews baptism in a couple of weeks, really looking forward to it! read more

Having my picture taken was a new experience for me and Nicole made me feel relaxed and comfortable from start to finish!!! Her makeup artist and hairstylist was AWESOME and so glad she recommended her---would definitely use Nicole again... Now, can't wait to see the pics (which, based on the experience, I know will be awesome) read more

She has shot different kind is pictures of my daughter, she's shot us outside and most recently boudoir pictures of myself. I am beyond satisfied with her work. I look foward to being in front of her camera from here on out. Thanks Nicole. read more

Nicole has taken pictures of my daughter first at someone else's birthday party she had been hired for. I saw what great work she did and decided to have her do my daughters pictures. When I showed up late to my appointment, she didn't rush me, she was patient and she was able to capture GREAT photos of my daughter. I had images to review less than 24 hours later! I had the CD with all the rights within the week. Short of going to a one hour photo place, I've never had such a fast return time. I have been to Sear's, JC Penny's and Walmart and had cookie cutter pictures that I paid too much for, waited weeks for pictures to come in and didn't like what I ended up with. Nicole does amazing work, has great prices and is professional. I have referred her to every friend I know! I will NEVER do studio pictures again! If you want great quality, affordable prices and pictures you will cherish......contact her now and make an appointment!!!! read more

Let me start with saying Nicole is personable when she takes photos. She photographed my son's wedding and was awesome. She met the girls at the hairdressers at 11 am and followed the girls to get ready, met the men at the church to get ready, photographed the whole wedding and she also had backup things that were forgotten like a CD for dancing. Nicole didn't leave the wedding until everyone else was gone. We have had Nicole do all of our portraits since then. She has done family pictures, more weddings, birthdays, baby showers, engagement and so much more. She is very reasonable since when we go to Sears we pay well over a hundred dollars if not more. As far as WalMart, what a joke. They have no talent nor do they even try to get a cute expression from the children. Please understand the September person is retaliating against Focus Flash Photo due to someone who is an acquaintance of Nicole's for telling the truth about a business. Nicole is well worth the price and the wait. read more
