I'm a fan of the photography. However, I finally just now got my photos today after over a month…read morewait. The long wait ruined my excitement of having the pictures done in the first place.

I knew that they couldn't transform me into someone 20lbs lighter or anything like that, so my…read moreexpectations were not super high to begin with. I did this about a year ago, and was just looking back at the photos and saw only one review for the place on yelp. I just wanted to give folks an idea, and to make sure they speak up if they do this as to your preferences. As I think it could be really good. The day of this shoot, I had about 5 mimosas to help give me the courage i needed! My friend had purchased this is a gift for myself and two other ladies. We had a really fun morning getting ready though, and the studio was very open to us looking at outfits and making it fun. I have to say though, the makeup "artist" was rough. I know how to put on fake lashes, and i know i would've done a better job. Then she put on so much blush i looked like a cartoon character, along with too much eye liner and base that was a bit dark. I questioned it, and she said well it's only due to the photo lighting we do it like this. Well just as i expected, I looked a little nuts in the photos to say the least. She lined my lips which made them look so small and just weird in addition to everything else. I'm very fair skinned so everything stood out, in a not so great way. Lighter makeup would've made a lot more sense. I mean why not ask someone a question or two about their makeup preferences, she did all three of us exactly the same and we all have completely different coloring. My one friend had base on that was so light for her skin tone, that looked crazy in itself. The add the blush. yikes. The lady photographer was very nice, and very patient. The only thing i will say there is that the poses were very dated. And why not ask the subject, do you have any ideas for some poses at the end of each outfit? Placing my hand in my hair and looking down makes no sense, or having me push on a wall and look up at a camera made me look like i was challenged by a wall. Lastly, getting our results. She said less than 7 days, it was 3 weeks later. I didn't mind waiting, but my friends were quite eager. If she would've promised 3 weeks, then no big deal. But by setting an expectation of much sooner it made the experience not so great. We wouldn't have cared if she said 4 weeks, as doing touch ups etc, can take time i would think for 3 people plus her other clients. It's just setting the expectations. It was fun, i liked some of my photos where my makeup wasn't the focal point. Overall a good experience but had some major flaws, makeup being the biggest in my mind.
