For Christmas, my MIL said that she'd like new pictures of us and the dogs....since the most recent…read morephotos she has of us are from our wedding in 2011. The one and only picture of us on their fridge is from 2007. So, my husband and I decided that we might as well get pictures taken, so we can give a few to my parents, too. I mean, after awhile, it's like what do you give your parents for Christmas? Ours have everything they need. We decided we should get some for ourselves while we're at it. I contacted McKay Photography, mainly because we have known them for a long time and respect their work. We were able to schedule a time to meet one evening and it was nice enough to take pictures outside. This was a casual session, since we do know them and also because these were not formal pictures being done. And, we had two unruly dogs with us! We couldn't have been more pleased with the results and the price. I asked to have some pictures printed, which they did for us, as well as giving us a CD with all of the pictures on them. I am familiar with McKay Photography's work and prices. They are very reasonable, accommodating, and professional. They mostly do weddings, engagement photos, senior pictures, etc. But they were willing to take the time to do a short session for us, just so we have some new pics for the 'rents. Highly recommend! Side Note: I was unable to upload any pictures to yelp, because it said the file was too big. I will see what I can do.

We came on the 3rd Sunday of November. We wanted to include our dog so the only available…read moreappointment was at 5pm which was understandable. I had a feeling they would be running late since we were second to last and it was getting to be around the holidays. We were initially told they were behind 20 minutes. It ended up being an hour and a half behind schedule. They also accidentally put someone else in front of us as well. With 2 kids, a dog, and everyone hungry, we almost left. We had no issues with the staff as they were just doing their job. We only took maybe 6-8 photos. They did give us free prints and didn't charge any of fees due to the wait. We happened to be in the area twice. The photos and canvas came in early so were able to pick them up at the store. We ordered a larger canvas online. When it arrived, the picture turned out great but whoever made it, put the hooks on sideways so we had to buy some and fix it so the picture would hang right side up.

I don't take the time to open the computer and write a review unless it was absolutely sooo amazing…read moreI really do want to tell the world about it - hence this being my only review for 2019! The photo studio manager inside JCPenney Robinson Mall squeezed in my appt at the end of the day yesterday so I wouldn't have to wait for their next open appt another day - Which made me sooo happy as I was having a great hair day! Savannah the photographer worked with my little doggie and I to make some amazing Christmas card pictures!!! and she even went ahead and put the Christmas card pictures all into a card for me and all I had to do was tell her how many I needed to order! Another thing off my holiday to do list! And I cannot wait for everyone to open these cards and see the precious pictures!!!!! THANKS to the studio for making my holiday so much less stressful and more like an actual JOYFUL holiday!!!!

Missy not only offers classes in photography, but some of the most excellent photo services…read moreavailable. Our "first grandchild" results were stunning, and the photos have impressed family and friends. Living in Oregon we only wish that we were closer so that we could use her for other photo events. Her approach is personal, open and engaging to the needs of the client. Her work with young children is especially impressive. A product that you will cherish for a lifetime. John E.

Missy is an amazing photographer and artist! I recommend her without any hesitation…read more The pictures she took of my 7 month old son are absolutely amazing. Everyone comments on the portraits, saying that she was able to really capture his personality in the pictures. She also took portraits of me and my son that also really capture our relationship. I'm looking forward to future portrait sessions with Missy as our son grows up and our family expands. Missy is a ton of fun to be around. It's easy to relax and have fun while she's masterminding these amazing and beautiful images. She has an unreal ability to find and use the everyday scenery around and translate it into magical backgrounds. Her turnaround time is super quick. And she's great at communicating with her customers. I'd suggest checking out her portfolio and you can see for yourself how fantastic her portfolio is.

Anne photographed our newborn daughter and I cannot recommend her more highly. We came to Anne…read moremostly to get photos for birth announcement cards to send to family and friends. We also wanted the digital images for our own keepsakes. We left highly satisfied with both. First, Anne came to us through a trusted source - another notable, in-demand photog whom we've relied on in the past for child photography (and who is a writer on the topic for Nikon). Anne was top of her list for Pittsburgh. She lived up to the hype. Booking was easy and mostly automated through the website. She called us to confirm, I emailed her from the delivery room, and she set us up for our daugher's 12th day at a time that worked for us. We didn't just get the kind of soft, airy, elegant photos that you can see over and over and over again in her brilliant portfolio. We got the care, attention, efficiency, and experience that comes from a seasoned professional who works with kids and exhausted parents of newborns every single day. All we had to do was brush our hair and show up and Anne made everything else absolutely effortless for our family of four, including a 1 year-old. We got there, the studio was warmed and ready to go. Everything we needed from lighting to set pieces was just so - in optimal place to take advantage of those precious minutes when both baby and toddler are in portrait mode. She wasted no time getting photos in that golden hour of sleepy baby and manageable older brother. Costume and setting changes were gentle and practiced yet rapid and fluid. The baby never batted an eye or exhibited a moment of discomfort. Our 1 year old really liked her. The result? Not just great newborn photos with a variety of attractive palettes and background options, but also a new family portrait and even a skillfully assembled brother/sister spot featuring the toddler. Other retouching was careful and close - notably removing blemishes and an awkward position. I'll never look so good again. The real kicker here was the amazing turnaround time for all this work. Even with the detailed editing work, we got the photos back in *hours* (8, in fact). (Of course, this drastically beat the promise time, so don't expect it, but wow!). This incredibly rapid turnaround meant that even though our shoot was on a Friday, we were able to order the announcement cards over the weekend and I dropped all of them in the mail to their recipients the following Tuesday. It was 4 days from camera to mailbox. Anne didn't need to be told that we felt the urgency to get these out, she just knew and took care of us in amazing fashion. The package we got from Anne was a great value. For the "Special Delivery" package price, it's a bargain for the top photog for this speciality in the region. We got a large quantity of announcement cards so she also cut us a deal on those. The cards came out just how we'd hoped, with great genuine colors on hearty cardstock. The digital images have an automatic import into Google Photos, which is all we wanted. Highly recommend Anne for your newborn photos, and also recommend booking well in advance.

Annie took photos for our ceremony and did a fantastic job. She met with us in the months before…read moreand asked a lot of questions to get to know what kind of photos we most wanted. She also was very open to our input, chatted with the minister in advance of the service and came to the rehearsal to get a sense of the sanctuary and where she could get the best pictures from. Annie was pleasant and always smiling and seemed to truly enjoy her work. And the photos turned out great; there's nothing we wanted that she missed. If you're looking for a professional photographer with a great -- for posed and candid shots -- and want to work with someone who's low-stress and fun, Annie is a fantastic choice.

From the moment my husband and I met with Meaghan, we knew she was going to be the one that we…read morewould share this special chapter of our lives with. She immediately put my camera shy husband at ease, by being so easy going at our engagement session. She took hundreds of pictures and spent well over the allotted time with us, just exploring different spots for our engagement pictures. When it came time for the wedding, she was in touch before hand and helped me develop a timeline for my day- well beyond her duties as a photographer. On the day of, she knew every relationship and connection in both of our families (which, with each of us having two sets of parents-was a lot and usually people need a map to figure it out!). It really paid off because she knew the important pictures we wanted, and then went from there. Never did I feel as if she was intrusive or obtrusive- it was like having a friend in charge of your keepsake pictures. She still keeps in touch, and sent us a personalized ornament for our first Christmas together. It was this kind nature, amazingly creative eye and attention to details that made us fall in love with Meaghan. I recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone to capture a special moment!

Dan is amazing! He's like an old friend you haven't seen in years and you connected again. He's so…read morepatient. Takes his time to get the perfect shot. He suggested some great locations for my daughter's senior pictures. He made her feel very comfortable too. Once the pictures were ready for review Dan went over every picture with us. Let us go back and forth so we could decide on the perfect shots. He took his time with us. Didn't make us feel rushed. He was great to work with and his photographs prove it. One thing I like is that Dan puts a personal touch on everything. I like how he will post sneak peek photos on social media and writes about his subject/family. He really tries to get to know you so you don't just feel like it's a job for him. So happy we chose Dan Quigley for my daughters senior pics!

I recently did a boudoir photoshoot with The Girlfriend Experience, and it was one of the most…read moreempowering experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely seen. The entire team created such a supportive, uplifting environment -- nothing felt forced, rushed, or awkward. They guided me effortlessly through poses, lighting, and styling, and somehow made me feel both beautiful and completely myself at the same time. The images turned out stunning -- elegant, sexy, artistic, and full of confidence. It was so much more than a photoshoot... it felt like a reset, a celebration of myself in a way I didn't know I needed. If you've been considering a boudoir session, do it. And do it with The Girlfriend Experience. They make you feel like the main character in your own story, and the results speak for themselves. I would recommend them 100 times over.
