One of the best photographers in NYC. He is so passionate about what he does and it shows. The…read morefirst time I came to him years ago I had professional photos taken for my real estate profile and I loved it. Recently, I went to him for my maternity shoot with my significant other for our bundle of joy. Ricardo and his team helped us to feel comfortable and we had fun doing it. His quick turn around makes us also want to come back for newborn photos. Book him like today ! You will not be disappointed.

This review is long but it is the truth. Please read as I would not want this experience to happen…read moreto anyone else. Do not. I repeat DO NOT WORK WITH THIS GUY. He is a scammer and a liar. I was super excited to do a boudoir shoot for my birthday, and since I had purchased it off of Groupon since September, I didn't want to let it expire so about 3 weeks ago I called Ricardo to set up an appointment. When I got to the building, I buzzed the apartment number, and then I opened the gate. The inside building door was open and I walked in. Out of nowhere this girl starts yelling at the top of the stairs saying, "why does someone keep buzzing for no f****ing reason?" and in my head I'm just like, "am I in the right place?" And she turns to me and asks if I'm here for Ricardo and I'm like yes. In my mind I'm thinking the makeup artist is someone he hired on payroll or something but as she's doing my makeup she tells me that she's Ricardo's daughter. Weird. Thankfully I brought my OWN foundation just in case because she tells me that she doesn't have my shade. Rule of thumb: as a professional makeup artist you should have EVERY SHADE. Another red flag. Not only that she sent her friend, sister, whoever to get lashes since that was another request from me (and it shouldn't be). After she did my makeup she asked how I'm paying and then she charged $75. I told her that I was told $50 when I spoke to Ricardo. I was furious. She did a good job but I personally know other professional makeup artists who wouldn't do that and still do a better Job. After the shoot he tells me to come back after I change and take a look at the photos. He tells me to rate the ones that I like 5 star but doesn't tell me that if I go back then all the photos I selected get removed and I have to start the WHOLE selection process again. As I'm going through the photos, he's on WhatsApp videochat with his family with children literally yelling in the background and just being extremely unprofessional. As I'm going through the photos, the last photos he took did not appear on screen and he's looking at me clueless like this never happened to him before and turns out it wasn't on his memory card. So I went to go change and do the last pose again. Then after selecting, Ricardo asked me, "Am I the best photographer you ever had?" And I tell him "no, but this is one of the cool shoots I've done". Then he asks which other photographers I've worked with, and as he goes through the photographer's profile he criticizes the photographer who has done superb work and says that their photos are "too retouched" and that he works with different agencies, blah blah blah. Bullshit. You don't criticize someone else's work just because your own work is subpar. What frustrates me was that after he redeemed the Groupon (which was $79) he said that to get the edited photos and the gallery it was going to be $500. $500?!? I told him I'm not paying that, then he said that he'll "throw in 10 edited photos" and that he'll only charge $200 (additional to the $79 since he said that price was only to book him which made no sense). Looking back I shouldn't have given him anything. Not even a dime. He preys on women's vulnerability and does things in the moment and does not keep his word. He also makes people rate him on the spot in front of him just so they can feel pressured and lie then takes their money. The unedited photos were nice but he doesn't give you the full online gallery as other professional photographers actually do. He gives you a Google drive link (via text, not email) to only the photos you selected. Just unprofessional all across the board. Update: The Groupon only said 2 professional photos (which isn't even fair either). Ricardo sent me the 10 edited photos (plus 2 that I didn't ask for and were not my favorites either.) He did a TERRIBLE, half-ass, lackluster job editing. I could've done a better job editing them. In one photo he edited my left hip but not the right hip and I'm like why was that edited at all. He then used some beauty skin retouching effect that made my lips and body smaller. That's not editing or retouching photos. He doesn't know what he's doing and I'm surprised why he's getting so many rave reviews about his work because it's trash.

I hired Megan on short notice to do a photoshoot for my business website and social media images. I…read morereviewed her work on her website, and felt like she might be a good fit for my needs. Then, we had a skype meeting and I knew she was my photographer! She is very open, kind and a great listener. I felt really comfortable with her through the whole shoot. She was early to the appointment, had all of the equipment and got all the right lighting and shots for what I asked her to do. I am in LOVE with the photos! She is a consummate professional and will bring out the best in you. Her rates are excellent and the value is too notch. She posted final images within 24 hours of the shoot. I was delighted!!!! You don't need to look further if you are looking for a photographer who will listen to your vision and make it happen with a creative eye for detail. Thank you Megan!!!!

Given the small window of time my fiancée and I had for our engagement photos (a gift from a…read morefriend), we were greeted with kind and genuine excitement when meeting Kevin. He took our photos at our requested location (Gantry Plaza Park) and he was/is very familiar with the location, key photo spots and photo ops in certain lights, sub-environments and lighting positions. We really appreciated his fun and positive attitude and his effort in efficiency. We really loved Kevin's work and professionalism. If you want exciting yet classy photos, soft yet vivid coloring, a fun/funny photographer, Kevin's your pick.

My fiance and I are a super awkward couple, especially in taking photos - we didn't even have a decent photo to put on our save the date! Somehow Kevin was able to make us feel so comfortable and really made it feel like it was just us 3 and the whole world faded away behind us in the super crowded Central Park! He's also very intuitive and figured us out as a couple really quickly and was able to incorporate our silliness into the photos as well as somehow tricking us into taking those lovey dovey photos without us even knowing. His angles, lighting, eye for detail, editing - all absolutely superb! We received 30 photos after only 2 days (!!) and are excited for the rest, but these photos so far have made me and my fiance feel a plethora of emotions from busting out laughing and saying "aww." I honestly couldn't recommend Kevin enough. I wish I hadn't already booked another wedding photographer, but know that Kevin will be there to document other big events in my life!
