Went today for a headshot session and I cannot say enough positive things about Joe and his studio…read more I had never had corporate head shots taken and so was a bit nervous and uncertain as to what to expect but Joe instantly made it relaxing and fun. He has a great personality and makes the process very enjoyable. And the photos are great - far better than I could have imagined! I would certainly recommend to anyone!

Recently I needed to get a professional head shot and wanted to get a high end look that is…read moredifficult to find without heading to New York or L.A. I heard good things about One Sharp Joe and decided to give them a go--and I'm so glad that I did. I am not particularly keen on having my picture taken but from the very start, Joe made me feel very much at ease on the other side of the lens. He has a way of quickly building rapport and trust as he draws you into the posing process. I am no professional model, but he made me feel like one. The end result was even better than I had hoped and I really couldn't be happier with the final shots. If you are looking for a portrait that rises far above the mundane, you would do well to give One Sharp Joe a try. Highly recommended!

Michael was super professional. His pricing packages vary from economical to the works…read more His pictures are fantastic!! My husband and I are still getting compliments on the photo we chose as our thank you card. (See below) I like how he sits you down to discuss your wedding vision. Then he asks you whats important to make sure he captures. I asked for him to get lots of photos of my mom with her family and siblings specifically since she was fighting cancer. We're glad he asked and we're glad he delivered! Make sure Michael is on your list for interviews when your checking out your photography options. You won't regret it!!

Our history with Linda Hayes and her terrific photography skills dates back to our now 23 year old…read moreson's early years in high school when she did all the headshots for the musicals in which he was involved. It was a no-brainer to then use Linda for his senior portraits. We had a fabulous adventure as Linda and Jordan sought the perfect backdrop in the graffiti tunnels of Rochester's old subway. Our son had a blast at the shoot and the results are fabulous and uniquely suited to his personality! Fast forward five years later and our daughter is now a high school senior. We once again turned to Linda for her senior portraits and Linda did not disappoint! Ariana chose the gardens of the George Eastman House and Linda worked with her quieter nature to produce stunning photos. These are memories we will treasure. Throughout both experiences Linda was fun but professional and she thoroughly explained the process and the costs involved so there were no surprises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Linda for any photographic needs (and in fact have done so many times!)

I have been debating on writing a review. The more I read the texts between this women and…read morediscussing with my husband about our experience it makes me very angry. I am compelled to write this...Paid $600.00 FOR WHAT???? Tabitha Hollenbeck was Not professional and extremely unethical. We booked her for 2 photo sessions after seeing samples of her work. We hired her for bump to baby. After paying her she became cold with no personality. I found out later her sample work was photo shopped. She did not edit the photos for us properly nor would she answer the phone. Only responded to text. She was very rude in the text messages. Do not spend your money. You are better off taking the pictures yourself with your phone. We don't wear shoes in our house. She didn't think to tell us to wear shoes for the pictures. We saw the pictures it was awful without shoes. I had to tell her 3 times to crop out our bare feet!!! She had a nasty response because I asked her 3x times to crop our feet out of the pictures. All Our family pictures have feet cropped out. I literally had to chase her down for our pictures. She would get snippy and rude towards me.I stayed polite in order to get the pictures from her. I was at her mercy. That's not a good feeling. When I met up with her to get the flash drive and give her the final payment she was a total Jerk. She gave me a receipt after I PayPal her the money. I asked her are you going to give me a receipt for the first payment she said no because I have the receipt through PayPal. Then why write a receipt for the second part of the payment. This makes no sense. This is our first and only baby. She STOLE those special moments I wanted to capture for the rest of my life. I can never recreate them. It was monumental to me because I was pregnant and having our son during a lockdown and world pandemic. I am beyond pissed I spent money hiring her. I was better off burning $600.00 dollars!!!!
