It took a full 7 days from inquiry to get this information. I sent a request out May 22 for Raya, and did not get a response until May 29. I didn't feel comfortable with this time frame, and went with Seattle princess parties, who got back to me within the hour, each and every time I emailed them, and usually in less within 10minutes. So I don't have any input on how Enchanting Events handles the actual events. But 7 days is too long to for a response on a princess rental that isn't even an option.

I booked Belle to come for an hour to my daughter's sixth birthday this past weekend. Less than TWO…read moreHOURS before she was supposed to arrive (and less than an hour before the party started!), I recieved a text message and an email that told me Belle had awoken ill, and tried to feel better do the party, but couldn't. I understand when someone gets sick, but they offered no replacement character and had no back up. All I got was a "I'm so sorry" and that my refund would be processed on Tuesday. I recieved no communication back when I sent a lengthy message and requested that I be told refund was processed. After sending a second email I finally recieved confirmation. I'm most disappointed that I had to scramble last minute literally during my child's party and leave to buy something else as a surprise. I would have much preferred to know as soon as they did that there was a chance she would not be available. Instead it added to the stress already present from putting on a party, less than two hours before we were expecting her, and less than one hour before the party started. Only knowing less than two hours in advance is not acceptable, and I highly advise Enchanting Events to review when they let people know their paid-for character (nor a back up of any kind) might not be able to attend. I understand people get sick, but this is a party business and I would expect there to be a back up option of some kind. I'm not upset with the actress, but rather with how this whole situation was handled and how it negatively affected our day, my daughter's birthday party, and my own mental health. Some people (including us) give their child a choice of what to do for their birthday, and when that one thing gets canceled, it ruins not only the pre-planned activities for the party but the experience of the child. I had no extra money nor the capability of putting something else together so last minute to replace this experience for my daughter and I can't imagine any other average-wage person could either. I'm still very upset at how this whole situation was handled.

Wife was happy with the actual shoot, studio, and photography, but getting the end product to the customer as promised was a challenge. I'm also giving the rating based on price. This is a nicer studio and as such comes with better equipment. You expect to pay more. But I would advise to scan the price list first to know your options. If you're looking for a few good shots to have prints made, CM could work for you. If you're looking for more (more than 8 shots), it's a premium. We're the "burn me a CD" kind of family and let me pick. Again, the quality of the product is pretty good, but you should be informed before signing up for a sitting. In the end, CM offered us a store credit towards future prints. They understood our complaint and are trying to fix it, but they could have discounted my current sale instead. I can't see going back to CM tomorrow, but maybe in the future we'll try again.

This is a lovely little waterfront park and a great place to spend an hour or two if you're…read morevisiting Anacortes. The weather was absolutely gorgeous when we were here so we ended up staying longer than we expected and enjoying the views and all that this park has to offer. There is a beautiful monument you can visit, if I remember correctly it is the Seafarers' Memorial and it is what the park is named for. It's dedicated to the people of the community who have lost their lives at sea. This community has deep ties to the water and the fishing industry and I found the memorial beautifully crafted and very moving. The park had a great atmosphere and we walked around as much as we could. There were children playing in the sand on the little beach area and dipping their toes into the water. There were families picnicking and lots of gorgeous green grass to enjoy. We sat in the grass with our dog for a while. Just enjoying the sunshine and the breeze. We also found a statue called the Lady of the Sea, which really spoke to me. Between the sculptures, memorials and boats in the water. There was plenty to see and enjoy. This is the kind of place you would find me most days if I lived in this area and it was a great place to learn about the community and experience for ourselves.

She's very good at what she does; our newborn stayed asleep during the entire shoot thanks to her experience and attention to detail (making sure the room was warm, using white noise, soothing our babe, etc). I really appreciated how she made sure to ask if there was anything in particular we wanted to see in our pictures, and she even sent us a few preview shots only 24 hours after the shoot which was incredibly sweet. Aside from newborn shoots, she does a range of other photography, including family shoots, weddings, maternity, and boudoir and specializes in using natural light for her shots. I couldn't recommend her more!

Before I had my session with her, I was freaked out about having a professional photo session as I had gained weight since the last time I was in front of a photographer. Lisa is SO amazing at making you feel comfortable, beautiful and bringing out your inner light. I didn't think it was possible to love the pictures she took as much as I do but she had a special talent for pulling you in and making you shine through her lens. Please book a session with her for any reason, whether it's family photo time, senior pics, wedding photos, boudoir, etc. She can do it all and make you feel beautiful in the process!! In addition, Lisa is a pillar in her community, helping out and giving back wherever she can. As a small business owner, she knows the struggles other business face and always tries to pay it forward, especially during the holidays. A wonderful human and photographer who is definitely worth your time and support!!
