I am not one to write negative reviews, I usually keep it positive. Today is different. I want…read morepeople to be aware of this lady and what she's doing because apparently I am not the only one. In April of 2019, opted for a photo session with a Colorado based photographer by the name of Tiara Wilson of Gentle Rose Photography. Initially when expressing my interest Tiara was very responsive, and immediately answered my questions as well as collected my payment. After receiving my payment, communication wore thin and she was not responding to me in a timely manner. I feel like Tiara scammed me. She took my money, showed up for a "session" and left it at that. I could have invested my money into an honest photographer. Or better yet, use it towards my household of 7! She is unorganized, lacks in communication and does not follow through on what is promised. However she WILL take your money IMMEDIATELY when you opt in for a session. BUYER BEWARE!!!! She will even delete comments or turn comments and reviews OFF on her group page from time to time to avoid people knowing of her terrible ways of conducting business. Here's my story. I jumped in for a 15 minute mini session that included all images for $150. Payment was sent through Venmo on April 18, 2019. Our session was scheduled for June. We did reschedule twice due to weather (which is understandable) but rescheduling was such a hassle because she didn't respond in a timely manner in fact, on June 22, weather predicted rain. I Messaged tiara and was told she wouldn't say for sure about the session until 12PM. She didn't message me until 1:20PM saying she was in the movies and sorry for not messaging. Then AGAIN, She never replied after that until about 3:30. Which was already stressing me out with 5 kids to get ready, myself, my husband and the drive to the location. It was also my husbands birthday which I made tiara aware of when she was not responding. Again, we ended up rescheduling but she did not set a date. I sent messages a few times and didn't get any response until JULY 11!!! When she finally answered, we ended up scheduling for the 21st. She didn't send me any confirmation although she posted on Facebook that she did. So messaged her AGAIN. She then sent me the LONGEST LIST OF DO's and DONTS ever. We showed up to our shoot on time. Our scheduled session was for 7pm. She didn't take us until 7:45 and was very precise about time being only 15 minutes. In Tiaras photography group she made it very clear that images will take 21 days. I waited past the 21 days and finally messaged her. She claimed her camera and SD card was damaged and it needed to get special recovery. Almost everyone's images except mine wasn't recovered. She claimed she would be picking up the card on August 27 and edited my photos promptly. At this point I was upset. She should have told me prior. Again communication failed. I messaged her a few times in the days to come about when I should be expecting my gallery, but she never answered any of my messages afterwards. I finally texted her that I wanted a refund. She only then answered and said she hasn't been on Facebook lately (but somehow there are posts from her in the group) she said she'd delete my photos and issue a refund. I still haven't gotten my refund OR any photos. I highly recommend finding another photographer, and doing research prior to paying. Tiara Wilson wasted my time, energy and took my money. Don't waste your time hiring this woman who has a terrible way of conducting business.

This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.
