She photographed my husband for 20 min at a few locations outside. Then, we reviewed the photos and narrowed it down to 6 (thankfully Alicia helped with this). It was so tough to decide because she did such a great job! She was a lot of fun to work with, made my husband feel comfortable, and no pressure to buy. Her work sold itself.

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.

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!

This place is first class. It's located on the quaint main street of historic mining town, Central City. When it's time for your portrait sitting, they lock the shop door, so it's ONLY your time and you get full attention and privacy so that there are no onlookers gawking. It's a fairly large studio with beautiful back drops, authentic antiques, accessories and a huge selection of vintage clothing, shoes, hats, gloves, suits etc and they're clean and well cared for. There's an actual dressing room! Milda, who is the owner, photographer and overall artistic genius, (with an adorable European accent) makes sure you look just right for the portrait. She takes her time to make sure every last detail is perfect. We were tired of the boring saloon hall photos you see everywhere, so we opted for a more refined Victorian tea look. Milda gave us the exact style photos we wanted and I couldn't be more pleased with them. I now have a special and unique keepsake of me and my mother! Together, with her husband and co-owner, they share so much about the history of Central City and make the entire experience authentic. Now for the photos. AMAZING!! The prices were very reasonable, so much so, that I bought a copy of every shot. I would highly recommend checking out the gallery of photos on her website so that you can see the quality of these vintage style portraits. I will definitely be coming back to this place, I loved it!

I have been coming into Ariane's for roughly four years. During this time, her work and her…read moregenerosity have blown me away. So, when I saw that her Yelp page has a "two-star" review (keep in mind, I truly expected none to be below a solid "five stars") I was shocked and felt compelled to write something that reflects my past and current experiences. Ariane first contacted me to offer free photography sessions for my rescue animals. I run a senior dog rescue (which now includes senior cats)- a notoriously difficult population to shoot due to special needs such as deafness, blindness, arthritis, dementia, black fur, or all of the above. Ariane has handled my most difficult of cases (the "all-of-the-above" ones) with grace and patience, and the photo results have always been gorgeous. She never fails to capture the best side of the subject and turn what could be the image of an "old, run down" animal to a "regal, proud" one. Her photos have directly led to the adoptions of many of my animals, a fact that I can never thank her enough for. Soon after meeting her, I began to bring my own animals in. This included my 19 year old cat, 16 year old black Pomeranian, 4 year old albino rat, and my (emotionally special needs) 5 year old black Poodle. She was gentle with my old, skinny cat, and managed to get some of the best photos I've ever seen of my impossible-to-photograph Pomeranian. The rat was thrilled to explore her props, and she even managed to charm the Poodle (a difficult feat, to say the least). Additionally, she was able to make experienced recommendations as to which method/material would be the best option for prints. Now that my 19 and 16 year olds, as well as the rat, have passed, her photos serve as an invaluable reminder, and are kept on my mantel. Ariane is talented, and while it may be true that you could go out and find someone willing to give you free digitals and discounted prints, you would truly be missing out on the skills and expertise she offers. I have never met someone more skilled with the camera, and her dedication towards rescue animals makes her even more special. You get what you pay for, and what Ariane gives you is nothing less than incredible.

The person who purchased the photo session ended up not being able to use it, so offered to donate it back to the organization so that an employee could make use of it. I was the first person to respond by email to our development director, so I got the session. I was super excited because I thought that I could just use the session to update my headshots. Nothing fancy, no wardrobe changes. Just my face, looking normal. Well, I called her and she was super rude and seemed extremely annoyed that a. The gift certificate was given to me and b. That I wanted to do head shots and not art prints. She said that the gift certificate isn't for her Delafoto brand but for her Ariane Cecile brand. She told me without mincing words that she donated the gift certificate with the expectation that the auction winner would spend $3000 on art prints. (Yes, $3000.) This was not communicated in any sort of fine print or anything, mind you. So, our patron thought they were doing a nice thing by donating this back. Ultimately, it went to waste. Nonprofits: know that she is not donating to your silent auction out of the goodness of her heart, but to make money off of your patrons.

I was a frazzled mess when I arrived but Katie quickly set to work putting me at ease. She helped me make make-up and clothing decisions and made the whole process really easy. She took the time to demonstrate poses and faces, which made the process less intimidating and was much more helpful than just telling me what to do. Jessica was meticulous with my hair and make-up, kept me laughing and happily laid on the floor to make sure the fan was blowing my hair at exactly the right angle.
