Tonya DeAnda Photography - Gulf Shores Family Beach Portraits - Tonya DeAnda Photography

Tonya DeAnda Photography

Tonya did a great job with our family for a beach session this past July (2012) near Ft. Morgan,…read moreAL. She was great with the kids. She was great with the family as a whole, and did a great job with the photos. Overall, we were pleased with her work. I gave her a lower score because I felt like she was not necessarily savvy when it came to technology. For example, we had to deliver a cashier's check at the beginning instead of being able to use many of the numerous online payment methods. That method of payment definitely favors her but not the consumer. I feel as if she could have received her money and ensured payment through Paypal, and would have cut down on the inconvenience of getting a cashier's check on our end. Secondly, she uses Smugmug photo site (expensive!). It's a great and secure site for photographers, but it's not not good for consumers (not much integration with social apps or other picture sites). I believe she gets a percentage of photos developed through their service because she discouraged us from using other sites like Walgreens, Costco because of apparently diminished quality. You might get away with saying that ten years ago but really not today. Sure, Smugmug delivers a lot of great packages and does awesome large portrait pictures, but we just wanted photos to pass around and maybe get a few framed. I asked about her uploading files to Walgreens, Costco and we would use her approval letter to get them developed, but she didn't respond to those requests. Thirdly, the watermarks. Her watermarks largely obscure the photos in Smugmug. She said it was because of other photographers stealing her work, but Smugmug included tight security that disabled the ability to download or save pictures to other media. It's also a flash site, so it was very hard to access from an iPad or iPhone. Tonya's prices are low and she does a great job, but be prepared to shell out a lot of money for Smugmug photos if you can't wait to get the cd of pictures in the mail. Happily, we received our photos on three separate cds with letters of approval for development. I would recommend Tonya if you are looking at someone who is professional and a good photographer, but not concerned about viewing pictures on your computer, iPad or sharing with friends over email. If you are like me and my family, we love to look at most of our pictures on our computer devices and sometimes get them developed, but this is not as common with us, and I imagine most people today. Fortunately, she delivered high-quality photos on cds so we got the product we wanted eventually.

During a trip to Gulf Shores in June, we engaged Tonya DeAnda Photography to take family…read morephotographs on the beach. There were four adults and three children, ages 9, 11, and 14. Tonya did a wonderful job of setting up the shots, corralling the folks who were excited by the sand and water, and those that tended to wander. She gave clear directions on how to reach the site, and made excellent suggestions as to what to wear. She even made modifications for one of our group who was mobility impaired. We had problems with our mail delivery system which caused us to fail to receive our discs with our images. Tonya went the extra mile to set up our gallery so that we could download our pictures. She never lost patience with our many questions, with our mail problems, or with the extra work she had to do to get our photographs to us. And after all of that, our images were excellent. So nice to have our memories for future reference. Tonya, you made me smile. Thank you.
