She kept the session moving and interacted so well with my littles ones (2 and 4)...they had fun, which made all the difference!

Yes, the complimentary portrait session is real. You'll be refunded for the session and only pay…read moreapproximately $38 in shipping for a 14-inch fine-art piece; the frame is not included. They also offer beautiful options for purchasing larger pieces, which I think is ultimately the more worthwhile choice if it's within your budget. That said, if you're not in a position to purchase a larger piece, I still think the complimentary session is worth experiencing. I would just go in with realistic expectations about the photoshoot itself. The session is fairly brief unless you're planning to invest in fine-art pieces, which honestly makes sense from a business perspective. It's a great opportunity to experience what a professional studio photoshoot is like, see the quality of the work firsthand, and decide whether you genuinely love the final images enough to purchase additional artwork. Overall, I thought they were very professional, transparent, and respectful. There was no pressure to purchase anything afterward, and everything was clearly explained upfront. It was genuinely a lovely experience, and I'm glad I did it.

My husband and I want to warn others about our experience with this portrait studio. He "won" a…read moregiveaway for a free 14-inch portrait valued at $1500, which sounded amazing--especially since it included our dog. But the entire process felt like a setup to upsell us. Deposit & Scheduling To claim the "free" portrait, we had to put down a $200 deposit that we'd lose if anything went wrong. They pressured us to schedule within 2-3 weeks. Communication was terrible--we couldn't get anyone on the phone to confirm our appointment time and had to guess when driving an hour to Fort Worth. They finally called mid-drive. Tip: triple-check your appointment because they won't. Photoshoot The shoot itself was great. The photographers were kind and good with our dog. No complaints there. Where It Goes Wrong After the photoshoot, we were shown a slideshow and taken into a sales room. They never clarified what size the "free" portrait actually included. They immediately pushed the biggest sizes first, and we fell in love with a 30-inch portrait--until we heard the price. We felt pressured and, emotionally, we caved and bought it. No Flexibility After Purchase We had major buyer's remorse. We had just paid for a wedding, were dealing with a family emergency, and ended up dipping into our honeymoon fund. When we called to cancel, they refused and basically said, "You signed the paperwork. If you don't proceed, we'll take this to court." No empathy at all. Bottom Line The "free portrait" giveaway is a classic bait-and-upgrade tactic. Be very careful, do not sign anything unless you're 100% sure, and avoid this place if you're not prepared to spend thousands. We deeply regret going and hope this review helps someone else avoid the same trap. In the end, we never received our "free" portrait.

An old friend of mine is really good at taking pictures and I had planned for her to take my daughter's sweet 16 pics. Well I waited until the last minute to ask her if she was free, and it turned out she was going out of town. She had also moved out of the area. On a whim, I happened to read Saleta's post in a Local Fort Worth Group. Her sample pictures were exceptional and I loved the Stockyards setting. It made me so nervous to send money electronically! When I messaged Saleta, she was so quick to respond, she understood my being nervous, and she was so excited to work with us for my daughter's special day. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Saleta, the quality of her work, and her attention to detail. I can say without a doubt that I was not disappointed and you will not be either!

If Annie was a flower, she'd be a tulip; specially, a white tulip. Caring, gentle, great attention…read moreto detail, and very personable. These traits also translate into her work and she embodies everything a good photographer has, x10. I've had the pleasure of having Annie capture two rite of passage moments for me; 22nd birthday and college graduation. Annie went above and beyond and captured both moments in such a special and exquisite manner that left me absolutely SHOOK. Annie comes to each session prepared and gives you 120% Her turnover rate is fast and efficient. I cannot recommend her enough to capture your special moments. Annie's work alone is phenomenal but it is also who she is that cannot be taught or trained in any school or training. 10/10; highly recommended!

My wife and I did our family portraits recently and had a wonderful time with Hoang Nguyen of Life…read moreStories By Hoang!  Hoang was on time (even early) for our appointment, and we never felt rushed even though it probably took us a little longer than most couples to warm up to the process. Hoang came up with so many creative ideas for our shoot at Cedar Hill State Park.  You can tell from the photos that we were having a blast!  It felt like we were just hanging out with a friend rather than having a stranger lurking around us. :) He really captured us accurately and in the most flattering way. Before the shoot, Hoang was very responsive to our questions, especially about where/when to shoot (as we all know, DFW weather is rather unpredictable) and what to wear. We couldn't have been happier with the choices he made since the pictures turned out amazing! And the turnaround time was impressive. Everyone LOVES the photos! We would wholeheartedly recommend Life Stories By Hoang for any photography projects. If you take a look at his portfolio, the quality of his work speaks for itself. But even more importantly, we truly enjoyed the process of working with him, both on the day of our shoot and in the weeks leading up to it. We can't wait to work with him again!

I've been requesting my newborn photos from her for the past 2 years now and she keeps running from me. I've paid in full and still have yet to receive what I'm suppose to from her. DO NOT USE HER unless you'd like to be scammed and have your money stolen. I've contacted my attorney and will come to an end with this if it's the last thing I do. Keep running, but you can't hide for long honey!!!!!! I wouldn't even give this scam artist one star she's lucky I have to, to post this comment. What a joke!? Btw the only reason she has any good reviews is because she texts you randomly asking you to leave a good review on her page in the middle of communicating with you about your pictures but then disappears like the dark knight when you start asking for your final pictures! Smh loser I swear. See ya in court Amanda Dykan :)

They make the atmosphere comfortable, our 2 older boys even did so well for the length of time we were there! Looks like we found a new photographer...
