Shelby Hostetler Photography - Mom & daughter pics

This past December, I had an opportunity to stay with my daughter and son-in-law. This was the…read morefirst time I had a chance to visit with them since 2018! To commemorate this trip, my daughter booked a photo shoot with Shelby. PERFECT! And it really was. As I wasn't the one who booked it, I am unsure about the specifics. I know that the shoot was in a studio that was easy to drive to and a private parking lot. We arrived about 10 minutes before our appointment but did not have long to wait. Shelby greeted us warmly and offered us hot chocolate. She showed us the two backgrounds and asked if we wanted specific shots. Since it was myself, daughter, and son-in-law, we wanted a few partnered with my daughter and definitely one with all of us. Shelby guided us to the perfect pictures. It was quick and we had such a good time with her. At one point, I started crying because I got hit with the "mom" feelings, and Shelby was able to get me back to smiling. She even got some shots of me happy crying that made me look good! Our pictures came out so well! We had the option to download our pics from her website and to order them from her. I did order two framed portraits for very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend Shelby for all your photo needs!

Shelby is a wonderful photographer! She was able to calm my newborn to capture beautiful pictures!…read moreHighly recommend Shelby for all your photography needs.

My fiancé and I booked Joelle for engagement photos. They turned out horrible. Awkward…read moreangels,poses, in almost every picture one of us is making a weird face. I paid $250 for 20 pictures. She provided 40 pictures. Quality over quantity and none of them were good. When speaking to her about this and possibly reshooting or getting a refund she said she stands by her work and she would not reshoot. I deleted the entire email link she gave me because I didn't even want to look at the pictures. I am so upset and so disappointed. This pictures really meant a lot to my fiancé and I. I was very excited and now I'm really just heart broken. I do not recommend couples photos. Over all she seemed like a nice person and other photos may be better but couples photos and god forbid wedding pictures I wouldn't bother at all. Just over all very upsetting. **update*** She was not "blind sided" as we had an entire conversation of me begging to reshoot giving her the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day because her website did not look like this. When she wouldn't I asked for a refund and expressed how I really was not happy and how everything was just awkward. She said she "stood by her work" she said no one else had ever told her they didn't like their photo. Another persons review on "the knot" says otherwise (and they were someone's wedding photos and involve breach of contract). Examples of the "professional" photos Joelle took. You can see that they are awkward and unflattering. The picture of the ring you can see orange outlines all over my hand for her "edit". Which I believe her edits are just filters and lots of color enhancing not actual edits. She even provided "glamor edits" within 5 minutes to see if I would like them which was a weird and distorted makeup filter over my face in serval pictures. The reason I didn't want the focus on my pregnancy is because it is still very early and I have not even shared with many friends or close family members yet. Which I had told Joelle during our session. In fact I didn't even tell her I was pregnant a referral told her. The fact that she even brought that up during a response to a negative review is completely inappropriate and shows a level of unprofessionalism I didn't even think was possible. I don't think I'm a model by any means but my self confidence is not that low. When I said I was upset and "struggling" I got so emotional because these pictures were so important to me and she wouldn't budge and I started to blame myself. But it is not my fault that I got ripped off and bad photos. I was so polite when I had told her I wasn't happy. I debated even saying anything at all but was encouraged to speak up because they were expensive and I really wanted to love my photos. I trusted her to tell me if the weather would not work she as the "professional" told me she was comfortable and confident to go through with it. She didn't show me the photos as they were taken. She stopped at the end and quickly ran through the photos on the tiny little camera screen. As someone who doesn't know a thing about photography I was not very critical of the 1 inch by 1 inch screen and the rapid run through of pictures. When I actually got the photos back however I was able to see how terrible they are. None of my pictures are "wind blown" they are just bad photos. You can tell she's has no professional training and was probably a bored house wife who got a Nikon for Christmas and decided to make a career of it. How absolutely horrific.

The pictures were done nicely and she was easy to work with during the session, but did not follow…read morethrough with editing she promised (holes in the wall, scratch on leg, and tag showing) and the "free" book provided, which I had to remind her about three time, had her water marked name on two pictures and the pictures that I asked to edit in the book were not edited. When confronted about concerns, I was told she stands by her work. She did not even try to make the images better and did not look at the book. If this is the work she stands by, I would not recommend her. I had seen her work with another client and my product was not like my friend's work.
