We paid for our online gallery and never gained access to the photos. I reached out to inquire and never heard back. Despite our efforts to emails, text, or call the company we have yet to hear back or gained access to the photos we paid for. We loved the photos and are very disappointed we never received them. Incredibly unprofessional and do not recommend these services.

My daughter had a Santa mini 12/6, I chose a package with 3 photos and was charged for 3 photos. I…read morereceived 1 photo and reached out 12/8 via email with no response, I sent a Facebook message 12/9 and got a response that they are busy and to give them 1-2 days. Nothing, I reached out via email and Facebook on 12/24 again requesting a refund since I didn't get them before Christmas so no point. It is 12/28 and they read my message on 12/24 but will not respond or refund. Unfortunately they've become a company that cares more about money vs quality, even the photo session was not good and rushed. Sadly after using them for 3 years we will be moving on. I am requesting again a refund and maybe will get a response this route, so disappointed to expect Santa photos and paying for them to put on cards and getting pushed back due to them being too busy to give what I paid for. To add to this, last year they wanted their business shared on social media and said they were giving a 8x10 if it was shared. I shared and didn't receive the 8x10, i reached out and was told they'd add it to my order, I never received that from last year. I was hoping it was a one time issue but I now see they're very unorganized and do not follow through. Update: For the record, I contacted them 12/8 & 12/9. My email on Christmas Eve was letting them know I no longer want the pictures and requested a refund, mistakes totally happen and I was not rude. I paid over $100 for the package and got 1 photo to share on cards, I hoped it would be an easy refund, I didn't get any response to my 12/24 email until about 10 mins after I left this review asking me to remove it on 12/28 Instead of refunding and disregarding my request, they sent me 2 Santa pics ON 12/29 that I said I no longer needed. I replied and said I sent the email 12/24 saying I don't want them and a refund due to not having them for Christmas, attached is their response telling me they won't refund me until i take down the reviews and to contact them then. Mistakes happen, it's ok if they did the right thing but now they are bribing me with money to remove this review. They can keep the over $100 (or $50 of what they were offering to refund due to their mistake). I will not be bribed to remove a review that may help others in the future and not expect them to do the right thing if a mistake happens. They refuse to do the right thing, word of mouth is everything with small businesses. I wish them the best in the future and truly wish that we didn't miss out on photos 2 years in a row now which led to this review.

We scheduled a 30 min session with Personal Touch Photography (John) to take family photos at…read moreHenderson Beach. He was friendly and laid back and gave good direction during the session. Our little one can be difficult to get to smile for photos and he was able to capture some really pretty photos of her playing in the sand/water with a big grin on her face, that we will treasure. The next day he texted us a preview collage and then emailed a link to our online gallery a little over a week later. Our total cost was around $275, a reduced military rate I believe (with 25% down to get on his schedule). Personal Touch Photography was much more affordable than other photographer's rates I compared in the area for similar services.

I can't say enough about how amazing our experience was with Darius Core Photography! He did an…read moreoutstanding job capturing my family photos on the beach, and every single shot came out absolutely stunning. Darius has an incredible eye for detail and knew exactly how to use the natural light, scenery, and timing to make our pictures feel both beautiful and authentic. Not only was the quality of the photos exceptional, but the entire session was relaxed, fun, and stress-free. Darius made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really showed in the natural smiles and candid moments he captured. If you're looking for someone who is professional, creative, and truly talented at what they do, I highly recommend Darius Core Photography. These are memories my family will treasure forever, and I'm so grateful to Darius for capturing them so perfectly.

Melissa was awesome! My family and I were vacationing in Pensacola, hanging out at the beach. We…read moreheard of Melissa through a friend. Melissa had done her wedding and the photos were amazing! So we wanted someone to photograph us in some candid moments down on the beach with the kids. So she hung out and really captured some great moments of all us having a great time as a family. Usually there's someone always left out of the photo, so this was a great way to really save the moments with all of us. She captured the kids doing some things that we didn't even know happened, until we saw the photos. After a while, we forgot she was even there and that's when the real moments with the kids happened and we got to have those memories preserved forever. Thank you again Melissa. My sister will be using you for her wedding, for sure!!

THE PHOTOS: The photos themselves were alright. We met twice because after the first time she did…read morenot give us very many pictures and they did not turn out well. The second time the pictures were good, 1 star for the pictures, nice cameras can be very forgiving to a photographer. THE EXPERIENCE: Our engagement photo shoot started out with an endless stream of sexual jokes and references to and about my fiance, we decided to not call it quits at this point only because we didn't have the time to book another photographer. So our adventure with Amanda-Leigh photography continues with a quick lesson in copyright law, a bad sign. She is under the impression that despite payment, she owns the pictures and can dictate what you do with them. She placed her logo, in bold, right next to our faces( keep in mind this is post payment). After we objected, which was a fraught process, we decided we would edit the pictures ourselves. This unleashed two days of vulgar rants to the both of us and some extreme disrespect to my fiance in which she threatened a copyright lawsuit because we used a version of a picture that didn't show her logo when it was set as a profile pic on Facebook. All in all she would like for us to share that she does not need the business of younger people and that her self promotion is more important that actually helping people have a joyful engagement experience, much less a basic level of customer service. We have still not gotten our second session worth of pictures and she is currently using them as a promotion for her own business. I would recommend everyone to keep looking for a photographer! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Amanda-Leigh-Photography/106983359332?ref=br_tf
