He was great with our kids- making them laugh and just letting them do their natural thing without any pressure. It allowed me to relax and just enjoy- which says a lot, because you know how much stress comes with kids and family pictures. Thank you Eli!!!! We will see you next year for our family photos :)

We had a great experience with him and I highly recommend him for your next photography project.read more

There's good business and then there's bad business! When you take a $1500 deposit and then demand payments after the wedding is called off is absolutely disgusting!

Andrea Clark has been known around town for being a great photographer and easy to work with. We…read morechose her to do some gender reveal and couple photos. She showed up at the location sick and seemed over it from the get go. When we were telling her what kind of pose we wanted, she rearranged us to how she felt would look better. Being the professional we trusted her judgement. Throughout the process she talked trash about several previous clients and how awful they dressed. She spoke about others being so needy and ridiculous. I didn't like how she bashed people who chose her to do their photos, it made me feel like she would be doing the same thing with us. We paid $200 for our session not knowing all that it entailed. When we finally got our photos, we got about 30 pictures. Almost every photo was unusable, off centered, and poorly taken. Capturing pics when we were not ready and thinking it looked "candid" but actually looked like a blooper photo or random snapshot a child would take. I could have had a friend take better pictures on my iPhone. I asked her to send me a few different ones since I didn't care for the blooper pics that were sent originally. She got extremely rude and defensive, acting like I was a terrible person for making her send anything different. But she did sent me about 10 more which were a lot better quality.. She only puts the photos on Dropbox so if you are expecting a flash drive or disk, think about using someone else. The Dropbox app wouldn't load all the photos taken. I had a hard time even getting them to print to Walgreens. So for $200 we got a sick photographer, some poor quality photos on a website, and a very expensive Facebook post for our gender reveal. When I asked for a disk due to Dropbox not working, she sent me a very hateful letter and a disk, then deleted all of my photos from Dropbox. She has been very unprofessional every time I've had to contact her. I would advise anyone to save their money and use a different photographer so that they have a better experience capturing precious moments in their life. I will definitely not waste my time or money on someone who doesn't care about their profession.

She was easy to get along with. She joked around with everyone so even my husband and groomsmen really enjoyed her. All the pictures were beautifully taken and edited. I don't have a single complaint except that she doesn't live closer to me ;) She traveled all the way to Virginia for my wedding and still was cheaper than most photographers in the area.

They asked everyone who entered to enter to win a door prize regardless of whether or not I was engaged. So I did! I was there with a friend. I won this prize. Melisa was there at the event and I asked if she would take some non bridal photos for me and and she was very rude in explaining to me that she would not. I called later to inquire again and the girl who answered the phone took a very detailed message and Melisa never returned my call. I real photographer would have been able to take more than bridals. Poor customer service. I wouldn't use her or recommend her to a bride based on the way I was treated. Don't give away things you won't honor!!
