Barry became my new photographer and giclee print maker for my art business (watercolor paintings)…read more I believe I am his first customer with this new endeavor. The studio I had worked with for the last 15 years closed. I was referred to Barry by my former studio. He dropped everything to photograph my work and produce giclee prints of the original in time for an art opening at the end of the week. The photograph of the original and giclee prints produced were exactly as I have come to expect. The final giclee prints were of highest quality. He was prompt, easy to work with, communicates well and showed that he cares about his final work product. I know that I will be pleased to work with him in the future and refer his services to my fellow artists.

Barry was our wedding photographer for our wedding on September 21, 2013 at the Figge Art Museum in…read moreDavenport, IA. I was planning the wedding from afar and I was so impressed that the first time Barry and I spoke on the phone he called me from the Figge where he had gone to scope out potential sites for good shots. This was even before we had booked him! His photos are gorgeous...very natural and not overly posed or cheesy. He really captures the day in a special and beautiful way. He also uses film and scans them into digital files, which is why the light is so lovely. Incredibly professional, easy to work with, and not at all in your face on the job, we were so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Barry. And wow, the photos made me feel like we were in a high-end wedding magazine!

She helped us find meaningful places for our engagement pictures in a new-to-us city, was an incredible support when our venue canceled on us a month before our wedding, and was the best director on our big day.

Several people mentioned that she was one of the best wedding photographers that they had interacted with! Not only was she an amazing photographer and vendor, but was truly a great presence at our very intimate wedding. And WOW, the pictures!! I have looked at them every day since receiving our gallery and know that they will be cherished forever. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Beware!!!!!!DISAPPOINTING SERVICE This review has been long…read moredue. I hired Kristen to help us build memories of our 1st newborn child. All I have to say is that we were CHEATED. Kristen had us pay her in full ($400) after the photo session which took place on September 1st 2014 and to date after 9 months, we have not received the prints despite several reminders. First few times she responded in delayed fashion promising she would deliver(and this was now December already). The prints never got delivered, neither were my emails or phone calls returned. As a photographer, I believe she is just average. I do not think I could rate someone's work high if she makes my beautiful child look less than what she is in reality. I am hoping that this review saves someone else from losing the BIG BUCKS for the service she will not provide. If I had a way I would give her no stars in this review. Dipti Agarwal

I however did message Rick while my fiancé and I were looking for our wedding photographer. He was booked and I was bummed. We aren't very familiar with the Quad Cities area and I ended up asking him for recommendations in the area expecting that he may not respond. Speaking to Rick's character, he seems like a great guy and very professional as he gave us not just one, but an entire list of other photographers in the area. It was super helpful and not something he had to go out of his way to do for us since we aren't clients. Thank you, Rick! We appreciated this!
