L ucy was very unprofessional during our communication. It would take several days for her to…read morerespond and it seemed as if she wanted me to work my availability around a trip she was taking. After sending several messages trying to find a compromise, she stopped responding. The next week she contacted me again. I expressed that I wouldn't feel comfortable with her because of her inability to communicate with me in a timely manner and her communication was lacking in professionalism. Her response was that I was not her client and therefore she didn't feel the need to get back to me as quickly. I was very confused by this, as I would never commit to a photo shoot with a photographer who isn't able to respond to me in a timely manner. This was family photo shoot that many of us were traveling to the Dallas area for. Our dates weren't flexible and it was important to me to find someone who could ensure that it would be a smooth process. All in all I felt Lucy was unable to provide time with the level of service I expect. Furthermore, after ending our conversation, she continued to harass me through text message until I asked her to stop. If you are planning to book a photographer please look elsewhere! I am not sure if this if her normal work ethic, if I had done something to offend her, or if she was having a bad week. Regardless of the reason, her attitude was very off putting and her professionalism was lacking.

I loved working with her and honestly left feeling like a bad a$$! 3rd: the quality is bar none. You have so many great photos to choose from!

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!

I arrived a little early, disheveled and not prepared (hair a mess and makeup not done) and she was so patient with me as I prepped myself for the shoot. Getting in and out of the wardrobes was easy, she guided me with every pose and she even took the pressure off by having great music and of course her awesome dance moves. Never in a million years would I think I would do anything remotely like this and you know what, I feel great. My pictures came out awesome! Thank you so much Erin! I will DEFINITELY be coming back for my 30th birthday :)

She made me feel incredibly comfortable--which is hard to do when you're half naked in front of a stranger! But Erin is such a professional and never made things awkward. She knows exactly how to pose you to make you look sexy and hide all the areas you might be a little self-conscious about. And she knows how to capture you at your perfect angle to draw out the diva in you. I loved my photos! Who knew I could look like that! Haha. Again, even though I chose to do this so last minute (3 weeks before my wedding), Erin rushed to edit all 126(!!!) of my photos for me to choose my favorites and then ordered my photo book to be here with plenty of time to spare before my wedding. She is so easy to work with, and I would definitely recommend her! Thanks for everything, Erin!

After seeing the photos that Aven Willow does, I knew that was exactly what I needed. I spoke with the photographer and owner, Jodie Jolly, and she explained the process. They do hair and makeup in her Downtown McKinney studio, which is in a cool, historic building. She recommended I bring 3 outfits and we discussed the color scheme. On the day of photos, I was really nervous. Jodie made me feel so relaxed and guided me through the poses and facial expressions. She played fun music in the background to set the mood and I felt so much more comfortable as we got to the second half of shooting. She takes her time, makes sure she got the right shots to get your message & speak to your brand. She scheduled the reveal for the following week. We met at her studio and she showed me the slideshow of the pictures. I was blown away at how fabulous they turned out. Before I went in, I was only going to buy 3 pictures, but I feel in love with too many and bought 10! This was such a fantastic experience and I would absolutely do it again the next time I need new branding photos. Aven Willow exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend you trying them out!

When my two friends and I signed up for her 40 over 40 experience we had high hopes for a once in a lifetime experience. And in September 2023 the session was just that. We happily paid a hefty sum for a large Portrait package with a lovely storage box included. After waiting months while being told that we were waiting on the box, we asked for the portraits and to receive the box when she received delivery of her shipment. I went by her studio and picked up the portraits. The portraits I was given appeared to be the ones that she had displayed at our "Reveal " saying they were samples when we made our selections. After many inquiries followed by excuses, she sent an email with a link to all of the original digital files, saying compensation for our patience. To date, we still have not received the box and my messages to her business, and to her personally, have been ignored. I feel obligated now to let others know that Jodie is a talented photographer with great sales skills who will take a hefty sum from your pocketbook and not deliver on promises. Oh, and that 40 over 40 book and the party to celebrate she promised? Beware! That never happens either. It's been 10 months now and sadly she continues to promote her business in the same fashion and is now ghosting us. Thank you Jodie Signed Three Very Disappointed Senior Ladies

I am beyond impressed with our maternity photos from Taylor Catherine Photography. I was initially…read moreapprehensive of taking maternity photos; however, Taylor perfectly captured the anticipation and longing of pregnancy as well as the fleeting emotional moments between a mother and her child. Taylor had all three of us smiling for the entire session and kept our one-year-old entertained despite the 100 plus degree heat. She is professional and welcoming and somehow manages to juggle shooting on both film and digital cameras. I could not have imagined a more positive experience, and my family will cherish these memories for years to come. If you are searching for maternity, newborn, or family photos in the DFW area, Taylor Catherine Photography will beautifully document your life.

I think I do pretty well, actually, and our little girl will have a lot of fun photos to look back on when she's older and say, "Thanks, Pop!" And then Taylor comes over because my wife tells me it's de rigueur to have professional photos of your baby. Whatever. Fine. Either photography has come a long way since the days of the retarded 'professional' photos I took every time I graduated from something, or I've just been locked into an Instagram bubble for so long and haven't seen an amazing picture larger than 1" x 1" in a long time. Either way (both statements are true, by the way), Taylor freaking blows it all out of the park. Her attention to light, color, dimension . . . incredible. I love it all. And now my pictures pale in comparison. Embarrassing, really. But I am completely grateful for Taylor's photos, and you can be sure her pictures will be the ones I use on the cover of the baby's photo albums, because I could pick Apple Annie over Martha Stewart and Justin Bieber over Adele, but then I would be dumb. Pick Taylor, people. Pick Taylor.

We just got our daughter's newborn pictures back and we are in love!! Paige does an amazing job…read moreworking with babies and is very patient. Her very, very reasonable session fee includes a CD with the edited photos separated by color and black and white and recommendations on where to print (but you can print or do whatever you like with the photos). She has tons of props, backgrounds, hats, wraps, headbands, baskets, etc. She even had a fishing pole and hat - my husband loved that. :) You can just show up with your baby, and she'll make the magic happen. Her studio is kept warm and she uses a heating pad on surfaces so your little one will pose and be happy. She doesn't rush you at all; I had time to feed Nova - and even pump since we're on preemie triple feedings. She also has beverages and snacks for parents. Besides the fact that our pictures are perfection, Paige is incredibly awesome to work with. Our daughter was born a month early so we hadn't planned any newborn pictures. She was able to squeeze us in on short notice and finished editing the photos in a couple days. She even hand delivered them to us because she was in our neighborhood. We will definitely use Paige Rance photography for our next baby photos. If you are looking for a newborn, children, or family photographer, you will be thrilled with Paige.
