We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Stacey is amazing.

I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

I almost feel bad writing this review, but future potential customers need to know. The owner of AP…read moreseems like a very nice guy who tries hard, but unfortunately, he's just not a good photographer. AP was hired by my child's daycare to take all of the kids' pictures and class photos. I should have been concerned as soon as I saw that AP was using a green-screen backdrop for all of the portraits. I don't know if this has become standard in the industry, but I do know that you must have the correct equipment and skills to make the pictures look natural. A simple matte backdrop would have been much easier and better suited to kids' portraits. When the proofs came in, I quickly realized why a green screen was chosen. AP was trying to cover up poor composition and lightening with a garish excess of processing and digital gimmicks. Oh, where to start with the ridiculous shots? There was one where my child was superimposed with a unicorn in front of a purple tree, wherein the unicorn and tree were heavily pixelated. So not only was it a bizarre choice of editing, but the digital stock was of insufficient resolution. In another, AP flipped my child's image (in mirror) to shift the gaze towards a slightly transparent version of a different pose. Any parent will tell you that a mirror image picture does not look like your child. Slight differences left-right make the whole appearance look strange. Further still, the color processing was a mess. The same yellow top my child was wearing in one picture looked bright orange in another. My child's blue eyes looked black in several pictures, as they were washed out by the replacement of the green-screen. And what low quality work with the green-screen! My child looks like a cut-out, similar to the old rotoscope film technique. The lightning during the shoot must not have been setup correctly because in every picture there is clearly a green hue on the sides of my child's face. I assume it is a reflection from the green-screen. I think all of the digital effects are being used to compensate for a lack of skill, and I think AP might already know this. If you go to AP's website, you'll see some good and some mediocre pictures. First, there is the obvious question: these are really your best pictures, the ones you feature on your website? Second (and this is a problem), the good pictures aren't even his. For example, the picture of the female soccer player (http://apstudioz.com/IMAGES/apstudioz_-_marketing_sports_soccer_girl.jpg) is actually from Shutterstock (http://shutr.bz/17pIiZG), and the picture of the wrestlers (http://apstudioz.com/IMAGES/apstudioz_-_marketing_sports_wrestling.jpg) is actually from 123RF (http://bit.ly/124SUYy). The best I can figure is that nobody has ever given AP honest feedback. Maybe he thinks all the digital effects are what make a good photographer; I can only guess. He needs to know, however, that he is not good enough to bill himself as a professional photographer. And customers need to know to spend their money elsewhere.

AP Studioz was contracted to take my sons tball pictures May 2014. When the pictures arrived…read moreseveral parents were unsatisfied with the photoshop job he did (the pictures were taken on a bright sunny day, he photo shopped each picture with a black baseball field backdrop). Several parents requested a refund however Antwaun (I assume to be the owner) said he could (would not) issue a refund however he would re-shoot. For my child I wasn't really dissatisfied with the picture but he mixed up my order (one of the larger packages) with another families who ordered a smaller order. He put the other child's name and data on my child's package and my child's name and data on the other childs packet. I was told it would be a SIMPLE fix so I decided not to re-shoot. I also asked that he take off the background. 3 months go by I have not received my package. I contact Antwaun he says that my package would be available at the end of the week. An additional week goes back no package I contact Antwaun several times. When I finally get a hold of him he tells me I could MEET him somewhere if I want my pictures. I tell him to mail it to me. The package arrived, the package was not correct. I contacted Antwuan and he refuses to answer my calls. All I want is the money owed to me. I do not want these pictures and even if I did I have never received the product I origianlly paid for! Also please note that each parent on my team returned the team portrait to AP Studioz and Antwaun did not correct the pictures nor did he issue a refund. Multiply the cost of full size team photo by 20 and that will give you the amount POCKETED by Antwaun and this company.

I loved that John was so responsive each time I reached out! Not only would he respond right back but many times if my questions were complicated he would ask to schedule a FaceTime so we could work out the details! Once you connect with John, he sets up a virtual meeting to make sure that you understand all he provides and his style of photos will meet your needs. He listens and plans all the details so you know exactly what to expect. He has an automated contract and payment service that makes both processes one-click simple. John also includes a engagement sitting with his service so you will have great "Save the Dates." John will prompt you for all the details at just the right time which takes the worry off you. He will discuss all the shots you want to capture and who you want more or less ;) pictures of. We did a walk through the week before at our wedding site and John's creative eye identified so many great photo opportunities, I knew I was going to have some really great shots and it got me so excited. At the "first look" I was pretty impressed when I saw John had a photo checklist tool on his phone to make sure every shot was captured. During the wedding/reception John was there to capture every shot and he did it in such a way that you never noticed him or the lighting stands. One of the best reasons to select John as your photographer is that within a couple of weeks (quicker than most) he delivers your print ready photos to his site and you can download them all in minutes. There are no additional charges to to download and share them with your guests or you can print them yourself! Although I can't say enough about John being the best choice for your wedding photographer and that he will be so easy to work with and deliver incredible photos. I will highlight that John is one of the nicest and "good hearted"people I have worked with. He is such a kind and caring person... it was a true delight to meet John. I'm so pleased that I will have such great memories of working with him each time I look at our photos!
