My parents in law won this at an auction, and let's be very clear - Willow Street Pictures is at…read morebest a loss leader and at worst a scam. If you are running an auction and are offered one of their sessions as a donation PLEASE do not accept. My parents in law bid on the family portrait session with the understanding that we would only receive one free desktop picture, however their prices for additional pictures are OUTRAGEOUS, and they have no digital option. In addition to what they donated to the auction, my parents in law ended up pay over a thousand dollars for ONE picture, which did not include framing or retouching. When we we doing the selection session the owner was dismissive and inattentive, and I watched as my mother-in-law almost came to tears. She was willing to pay for one extra family photo, as that's all that was in her budget, but there weren't many good photos of our whole family, mostly just of the individual children which they couldn't afford to purchase. The prices for their pictures are not transparent or available on the website, so we had no way of knowing what we were getting into when we bid on this ridiculous item. My parents in law gifted me the free desktop print, which we did not pay for additional retouching for, and it's awful quality. I got one of my sons and their cousins. The image is dull and blurry and the children's faces are poorly lit. My son's eyes aren't visible at all, and my other son's face is in shadow. It wasn't in my budget to pay HUNDREDS OF ADDITIONAL DOLLARS for retouching on a session that was meant to be a DONATION. I know Willow Street says they can't give out digitals because they make 'art,' but the quality of what I received was lower than the work I've seen by other local photographers who charge far less, and allow you to purchase digitals. I literally got pictures of my youngest taken at JC Penney recently that look better than what we've received from Willow Street. In my opinion, this donation was gifted to my son's school in bad faith, in order to get people through the door and extort money from them. If you're considering family pictures save your money and hire another local photographer, who will allow you access to all your images and who is upfront and transparent about pricing. The only bright side is the photographers who work for the owner were very nice. I hope they all get better jobs.

I decided to take some family photos with my pets and me because two of them were diagnosed with…read morechronic conditions, and I wanted to capture the moment forever. My black poodle had heart disease, and the vet didn't give him much time, and my sweet girl dragon was also on limited time. I enjoyed the photo shoot with my two dogs and two dragons, simply spending time with my family. My poodle passed away four months after the session, but now I have professional photos of him displayed all around my home with his little brother and reptile siblings. Thank you, Willow Street, for capturing my special family--especially my black poodle, who will live forever on my mantle.

Recently, we had to chose a photographer for our twins senior portraits. We contacted Searfoss Photography to schedule a consult. They were very accommodating and worked with our schedules. They even attended a few of our daughters track meets to capture realtime photos. The final pictures turned out so well, we had such a hard time choosing what to purchase. Our family was extremely happy with all of the work the studio did to make our experience a pleasant one. I would recommend Searfoss Photography for your photo needs.

We could not have done this spectacular birthday party for our daughter without Rachael! We had a…read morefabulous at 14 birthday party for our daughter Emma at the Goggleworks in Reading. Our daughter wanted to have a "teen nightclub" themed dance party for her 14th birthday! At that age it's really challenging to find a venue for a great party that is safe and supervised, but also, crazy fun! Rachael helped us put together a party that was the "talk of the school" event! Everyone was buzzing about this party! Rachael, with the help of some other fantastic companies, like LEO party rentals, and BELLY caterers put together a very reasonably priced and very trendy dance party for Emma and her friends. It was so easy to plan, and even easier to sit back and enjoy the kids having a fantastic time! We couldn't have planned this terrific event without her! Rachael helped us coordinate with everyone. She sat down with me to brainstorm many times before the party, and took care of everything. The tiniest of details were covered! All of the event was kept within a very reasonable budget! We would also like to send a thank you out to the Goggleworks for their terrific, and very trendy "loft" like room, for the party location. The dj " DJ JG" John Gosselin was also a fantastic addition to the party! He knew exactly what music the kids wanted to hear. Everyone danced the entire night! Thank you Rachael for making this night so memorable for Emma, and us too! If your thinking of planning a party for your teenage daughter you should contact Rachael! She will really impress you!

She was still going to charge us full price for a studio and outdoor session even though we only wanted half of the package. There's also an extra $40 weekend charge. The DAY BEFORE our 9am appointment, I got a call at 1pm - it was Theresa canceling. She didn't have another photographer as back-up and couldn't rebook us until several weeks later. She said she had to go out of town last minute, which is funny because when I booked her she said she had a wedding later that day. I hope she didn't cancel on the bride as well! We haven't heard from her since. We were actually considering her for our wedding, but are definitely going elsewhere now. So unprofessional.
