Edit on 12/19/18 - We still have not received our photos, and phone calls to check on them have…read moreeither been unanswered or I've been told that I'll get a call once they're in. It is now very unlikely that I'll see these photos before Christmas. I have really mixed feelings about Fairytale Experiences. While the pictures are CUTE and my kids had a great time with Santa, their pricing is literally astronomical. Be warned that you will not even see any digital options unless you spend upwards of $300 on their portraits. Their packages, I kid you not, go all the way up to $5000. I love my children, but I would never even consider that type of money on seasonal photos. The experience was sweet, but they need to be WAY more upfront with their pricing and ordering options at the time of booking. All of the people are very friendly and they are not pushy, I just believe their pricing is unreasonable.

The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more The Santa experience was great but the fact that you can only buy prints by going back in for a viewing session is ridiculous. - What if I want to take my time looking at photos and deciding what to buy? - I am a single mom. I don't have time to drive 40 mins both ways to buy photos AND find someone to watch my son so he's not confused why Santa is no longer there. - My son's father lives out of state and wants to buy photos too but can't look at them or the prices or buy anything Why would a company make it SO hard to give them money?!?!? Why are they so unfeeling to people who want to take a little time to see the pictures and think or don't have the ability to come back in? I have written multiple times stating that I have money to spend and want to buy photos but just can't do it in person. They don't care AT ALL. Just an icky scam to try and force you to spend more money. TERRIBLE experience and terrible customer service. Shame on you.

This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

40/40 photo shoot! Working with Sandy and her team was an unforgettable experience. From the moment…read moreI stepped in front of the camera, she created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and empowering. I've never felt so comfortable being photographed-- Sandy has a true gift for helping you relax, be yourself, and still bring out your most confident, radiant side. The direction was thoughtful, natural, fun and intuitive--never forced. I left the shoot feeling not just seen but celebrated. The final images captured not only how I look, but how I felt--strong, grounded, and beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, both technically and emotionally, look no further. Sandy is an artist, a professional, and someone who truly cares about the people being photographed. I can't recommend her and her team enough.

Wow. Shooting with…read moreJess (now Art of Her) is such an incredible experience that I hope all women get to have at some point. From the moment I had my first discussion with Jess I felt at ease (though I am no veteran in front of the camera!) Shooting with her is always a breeze-- fun, comfortable, full of laughs. She directs gently to make sure you look your best. But the best part is receiving your images. You know when you get ready for something and look at yourself and say, "Damn. I look good!"...? That is what you get. That and more. Jess has this way of capturing the soul and beauty within every human she shoots. That isn't something that lighting and professional equipment and airbrushing can do-- I think it is because she has an ability to see the masterpiece in every person she encounters, and THAT is what she captures. That is what you will see. ART of Her, indeed. If you're looking for a photograph to not only display your beauty, but the essence of who you really are, look no further. I can't wait to go to Denver for more pictures!!
