Very happy that we hired Photography Dunrite for our son's senior pictures. Excellent pictures!

Decent photographer. Sketchy as hell tho. He gave me prices for photos, said it was $30 each. The next time I spoke to him, he rose the prices to $40 each (thinking I didn't remember what he originally said). Then on his website, it said $50. I confronted him about the price on his site, and he said "oh 'they' choose the prices, I don't have any say in that. I didn't realize 'they' rose their prices". He was really pushy about his package deal when I made it clear I just wanted one photo. "See one photo is this much, but I'll sell the whole package to you for $200, screw if you just want one photo, you get your money's worth with the $200". I JUST WANTED ONE PHOTO YOU SKETCHY PERSON! I backed out, telling him I didn't appreciate him changing his prices on us throughout the duration of this transaction. Then he was like "okay okay fine, I'll give you the photo for $30 then" read more

Feel we had to wait an exceptionally long time for the photos and weren't told in advance that pictures would cost extra.

Wow!!! So happy with this place. I hate!! Hate!! Getting pictures taken but was blown away with this service and attention to detail was second to none. Got a Groupon was expecting to get a hard up sell. But he was very professional and didn't feel like we got any less than 100%. But he did such a great job we did buy some extra items read more

Our original wedding photographer backed out several weeks before the wedding. Charlie was available for our Monday wedding. He gave us a reasonable price for the wedding package. He was enthusiastic and professional with attention to detail. Due to honeymoon and other things it took us a while to place the order for the pictures included in the wedding package. But he was able to deliver everything before Christmas. The results were outstanding. The prints were just what we wanted. The package also includes a book. I thought this would be a binder with photos in plastic sleeves. What we got was a hard-bound coffee table book with our photos tastefully arranged and artfully cropped. He didn't just slap something together but gave us something to treasure. The icing on the cake is that our photos are online so folks who couldn't attend or others who want prints can order them. This was a good experience from top to bottom. Great value for a great experience. read more

The studio was nice or ok enough as was his aging equipment, but the "professional photographer" was not respectful to my son and I. He wanted to control the situation to the point of telling me how parents do not really know how to get their children to cooperate, BUT HE DOES. After not getting my 2 year old son (29 months) to do what he wanted he literally told me this as he held me by firmly holding his hand on the center of my chest to prevent me from going to him (my son). OK I thought, and uneasily let him continue to coo my son as if he was a baby of maybe 12 months old that only made things worse. As a parent you know when your child has had enough and his (my son) awareness is also much broader than MR. **** (photographer) acted. So then when my son was looking at me in a scared and uncomfortable manner that I had never seen, I went to him to keep things calm. This "professional" literally held me back this time by force due to him being much bigger than I! Thats when my son cracked, and was screaming terrified...not just mad. This is the most happy-friendly-talkative 2 1/2 year old ever I get told almost daily FYI. I cannot believe that this man has a business at all. There must be a "if you cant say anything nice then don't say anything at all" mentality here in Colorado that is truly amazing. This was a bad experience that I really am upset about we left as fast as possible and he gave no apology or even did he seam to care. The worst experience my son and I have ever been in. Also of note the next person we went to my son was happily engaged with as usual. read more

At first glance, the "studio", well shed, that he works out of, was a bit creepy and didn't feel very welcoming. Broken down cars, trash all over the property... it just did not feel inviting. As we walked in, there was a chainlink fence just outside the door, with two dogs, Alaskan Malamutes, whom shed a lot. From a family of allergies, luckily not to dogs, but to cats, instead I would have loved to have a heads up of any animals on or within in arms length of the property. If those dogs would have been cats we would have had to leave immediately because of how severely my daughter is allergic to them. Once inside, he was very friendly, very respectful, and very eager to get the photo shoot started. After about 10 minutes of taking pictures, he started to get bossy and short tempered especially with my 4 year old, and after about 30 minutes he started to get VERY bossy. Forcefully grabbing my 4 year olds arm because she was getting bored and not sitting the way he wanted her to. At that point I stepped in and played with her for a minute to get her out of her unhappy and uninterested mood preventing a meltdown. Also grabbing and shoving/throwing my husbands arm to where he wanted. Im not exactly sure what he expected when he was photographing a 4 year old with HFA, SPD and ADHD (I had told him all of this before booking with him) and a 9 month old who is always smiling unless someone with an angry/demanding tone is around her. So needless to say almost all of the pictures of her look like she's pissed and unhappy. After taking pictures, he was very pushy about what "options" we had when it came to pricing and photos we would receive. He told me that according to the fine print of his Groupon add the price only included one pose and wasn't available on weekends. However the Groupon did not say any such thing about that, it said 1 hour, up to 20 people and a CD of all images and some random amount of prints were included (see image of Groupon attached). Nowhere in the fine print did it say anything about only one pose or no weekends. He also doesn't do CDs so if we wanted any of the photos we had to pay him for all of the high resolution downloads. Since the low resolution photos were not able to be downloaded (according to him). He didn't even include all of the photos he took just the ones he liked I guess. We also had no option to view the photos or quality of the photos before we paid, if I would have seen these before hand while we were still there I wouldn't have paid him anything. Because of the Groupon add and what was advertised we ended up paying a total of $229 instead of $29 for Groupon that said everything including a CD of all photos was included. This man is a scammer. We didn't even get a full hour of photography, it was more like 45 minutes and that was only because I kept coming up with different poses which he seemed very irritated with because he apparently just wanted this to be done his way, and have it be done and over with already. It is very sad that my four year old was almost in tears because she didn't want to "do pictures anymore", when on any other day, she absolutely loves getting her picture taken. I have also tried contacting him with no response back attempting to get a refund. read more
