My wife and I did our family portraits recently and had a wonderful time with Hoang Nguyen of Life…read moreStories By Hoang!  Hoang was on time (even early) for our appointment, and we never felt rushed even though it probably took us a little longer than most couples to warm up to the process. Hoang came up with so many creative ideas for our shoot at Cedar Hill State Park.  You can tell from the photos that we were having a blast!  It felt like we were just hanging out with a friend rather than having a stranger lurking around us. :) He really captured us accurately and in the most flattering way. Before the shoot, Hoang was very responsive to our questions, especially about where/when to shoot (as we all know, DFW weather is rather unpredictable) and what to wear. We couldn't have been happier with the choices he made since the pictures turned out amazing! And the turnaround time was impressive. Everyone LOVES the photos! We would wholeheartedly recommend Life Stories By Hoang for any photography projects. If you take a look at his portfolio, the quality of his work speaks for itself. But even more importantly, we truly enjoyed the process of working with him, both on the day of our shoot and in the weeks leading up to it. We can't wait to work with him again!

Boudoir. Every woman dreams of doing it, but once you think about posing half naked in front of a…read morestranger the idea becomes an unforbidden fantasy. I recently lost 40 lbs and wanted to feel reinvented, do something sexy, feel alive! I did some research and managed to find a couple of Groupon options. Everyone's work seemed played out and/or mundane. The typical pin-up style boudoir where the women attempts to be sexy while pumping gas in bright red lipstick and a bandana. Are guys really into that? Anyways, I quickly moved on to the next photographer on the list and immediately, I hit gold! Catherine Cooper's images more than peaked my interest. Her pictures told a story--as if you were watching a thriller with a crazy plot twist, and you're dying to know how it ended. I was so enthralled with her website and photos, I quickly scheduled a consultation with her. Cathy's punctuality and professionalism is what prompted me to schedule a photography session. She was so down to earth, pleasant, and impressively organized. She walked me step by step on how to prepare for my session as well as what clothes and hairstyles would work best for me. She wasn't pushy when it came to purchasing photo package upgrades and she didn't treat me like I was "just another client." She personalized my photo session with concentration on certain parts of my body that I wanted to showcase more than others. There's no one size fits all with Mrs. Cooper--every clients gets EXACTLY what they want... AND MORE! She provided makeup and hair services, as well as some light snacks during the session. I was 100% comfortable with Cathy; honestly, guys, her support and encouragement made me feel like a Paris Fashion Week runway model. I am confident when I say that Catherine Cooper is the best decision I have ever made on Groupon! If I could give her a rating of 1,000,000 stars I would! I will definitely return for her services and will sing her praises till I'm blue in the face. Reasonable prices, chic studio, and an overall awesome person. The hubs loved the photos! Thanks Cathy!!

My session started out wonderful with hair makeup and conversation. The makeup artist was a doll…read more Although Catherine is wonderful with posing and photography her requirements were not consistent with her customers. After initially leaving a raving review she did not send me the picture she's stated she would send (in email). She also emailed my friend (whom gifted me the shoot). That she was requiring a $1000 by a set deadline before she would even edit my photos. I've never felt so judged in my life. This was not a "requirement" that was stated in the initial consultation with my friend prior to the shoot. I was not about to spend $1000 on pictures I had not seen. I am aware of the time Photography takes and how expensive it can be. This was not my issue at all. I do have a job and I do splurge on myself. One question she asked prior to my leaving is what were some initial fears I had. I mentioned to her that I am also a photographer (not professionally) and I am VERY PICKY about photography and I initially had a difficult time releasing all control to her. If you choose to use her be sure you are clear on ALL of the requirements. There are several Boudoir Photographers in this area. Do your research prior. I will be taking my money elsewhere.

An old friend of mine is really good at taking pictures and I had planned for her to take my daughter's sweet 16 pics. Well I waited until the last minute to ask her if she was free, and it turned out she was going out of town. She had also moved out of the area. On a whim, I happened to read Saleta's post in a Local Fort Worth Group. Her sample pictures were exceptional and I loved the Stockyards setting. It made me so nervous to send money electronically! When I messaged Saleta, she was so quick to respond, she understood my being nervous, and she was so excited to work with us for my daughter's special day. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Saleta, the quality of her work, and her attention to detail. I can say without a doubt that I was not disappointed and you will not be either!
