I was tasked to print a photo and have it framed within a couple of days, tops. I went to The Lab and met Jennifer. What a lovely woman and helpful, accommodating, friendly, creative, and suggestive. All qualities I was in need of. She rushed my order, did an amazing job blowing up a smaller pixel photo to a large format using computer techniques. A real pro, she was able to tell me what sizes would work according to what we have and what photoshopping can do. We decided on something , I ran to get a frame, and she put the whole thing together, charging hardly anything for all the things-- rush job, putting the finished product into the matting and frame, etc. I also met her partner (I assume), another woman, and Jennifer told me, "We are a small business, it's just she and me." Cool! I will be returning to this business for future projects and I recommend you consider them for your printing needs!

I started coming here six years ago to augment the lab time and instruction I was getting in school. Their darkroom was my happy place for a long time and was fairly priced. What impressed me the most about their gorgeous space was that they encouraged clients to get their work off their screens and onto the walls. Literally, any time I had a question about anything related to photography or printing, Stuart, Ed, Constance, Chrysta, or Nathan would make the time for me and help me out or give me feedback. I enjoyed printing there and always left feeling inspired because they were so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. If you'd like to learn about photography, I highly recommend checking out their services, classes, and workshops. I wish I could give them more than five stars!

A a small business owner I have never left another business a bad review, but this experience was…read moreunacceptable. My artwork was mishandled and the finished product I had hired them for was poorly executed and unusable. I had to take it to a qualified business afterwards who confirmed they did not do a good job. When I raised the issue, the owner and staff were dismissive, refused a refund, and ignored multiple emails and calls. Their unprofessional behavior was bizarre and astonishing. They clearly aren't equipped to handle valuable artwork. Save yourself the headache and take your projects elsewhere.

The pictures are beautiful and we are thrilled with them. Not only that, he organized them for us.

Nile was hands down the best videographer we could have asked for. From the beginning, he made an…read moreauthentic effort to get to know my husband and I as a couple and as individuals. He is extremely organized and met with us multiple times to ensure he knew everything needed to support us on our wedding day. When the day came around, his calm demeanor was very soothing and helped us stay in the moment. He went above and beyond in every possible way and even stayed past his contracted time because we were running behind schedule and he knew we'd want footage of our first dances, which was so kind of him to do. The turnaround for our highlight reel was only a few days and was absolutely mesmerizing. The way he captured the magic of the day was truly phenomenal and beyond anything we had hoped for, and we were so happy to have an artifact delivered so soon after the wedding. We even requested additional video packages because we were so impressed with his work and how he told the story of our day! This says a lot because originally we were on the fence about hiring a videographer at all. Above all, it was really important to us that our vendors be LGBTQ-friendly, especially our photographer and videographer who would be working with our wedding party, and Nile was so inclusive and great at working with every single one of our loved ones. If you are looking for a someone you can trust to capture your day beautifully, look no further.

We hired DJ Dan for our wedding last June. He was fantastic and communicative from start to finish…read more Wedding planning can be pretty overwhelming and having Dan help us organize the flow of the day was so great. After having a great call with him to go over our vision and how he works with us to make it happen, he gave us a worksheet to fill out. The worksheet was very important in the planning process and helped us choose songs and music for all the particular moments of the day (many things we hadn't even thought about before looking over this worksheet). Dan came for a site visit so he knew what type of equipment he'd need and to understand the flow of the day. He set up and handled all of the speakers, microphones and equipment. And most importantly he had the guests on the dance floor the whole night. It was the best! We highly recommend DJ Dan for your wedding or party needs!

He also came with an actual old-school photobooth, not one of those Ipad on a sticks with a big ring light situation. Dan and Debbie were great/easy to work with and I was surprised how fun our wedding was! I didn't expect everyone to have such a great time dancing! I unfortunately ran late so our timeline was pushed back and I wished we had more dancing but that's not his fault and I truly feel like I got to balance my time well- I did all the things! Photo booth, dancing, outfit change, mingled with everyone. It was a beautiful day/night! He even left me with a cord to help continue to play music from my laptop when his time was up. Looking back, I honestly wish I just paid for an extra hour of his time for more dancing!

How come I never found Bella Boudoir and Design any sooner.....???…read moreTamara is a highly skilled artist mastering in Photography for over 30 years! I entered Bella Boudoir and Design to consult regarding a Boudoir photoshoot. She spend a lot of much needed time with me during our consult. She was two months booked out for a session at the time. I really needed a Monday appt due to myself running a business. Tamara and makeup artist, Deeana (from the powder room) went out of their ways to come together and accommodate me for a Monday shoot. 2 months went by fast!!! And when it was ready for shoot day, Deeana put her professional makeup skills to work. She completely made me over in just an hour. After the beauty treatment, it was time for: Lights....Camera.....Action! Tamara gave me almost 3 hours of shoot time in her beautiful private studio. The package chosen consisted of 6 outfit changes. I had purchased the package that allows me to buy the mobile app. Sharing was important to me. And with the app, you are able to share to any mobile device. She doesn't had you a cd of your photos and say, "here ya go." Her photos are not for printing! As she owns the rights to the photos. Tamara had this way of helping me relax and be at ease during my shoot. She talked me though exactly what to do, how to pose. Her studio, lighting and skills are ON POINT! I'm very much looking forward to going back with my dogs. Because she photographs animals too

Dressed professionally and all smiles…read more Once the photo shoot session began at the beginning of our Chinese banquet wedding, he got all the guest organized so everything would be on time. He was around us most of the night and when he wasn't, it was because he was going around taking candids of the guests. This was great because once we got our photos, it was nice to see everyone having a genuinely great time. So happy with how the night went and how the photos turned out. Definitely having him do photos at other events we might have in the future and recommendations to friends and family

With his images, I'm 100% positive my listings have earned added value by being properly marketed with professional photography. I highly recommend going for the Platinum package.

You also get weekly stats sent to your email to show your clients how many views and analytics to support your marketing plan. Just a win-win all around! I've also used his arial drone footage and community photos. He's the only photographer I use now. Hours and areas are widely available so I'm not ever in a pinch with scheduling.

I was recommended to Sparks by several Realtors who had been using their service for years. My experience with the company was nothing short of spectacular. Pricing was reasonable and the quality of the photos and virtual staging shots exceeded my expectations and those of my clients. I received many compliments from prospective buyers and one person in particular who ended up being the buyer for this home. She made an offer without even stepping foot inside and as she told me later the photos and especially the floor plan provided by Sparks helped her feel more confident about the property. She did of course visit the home in person after her offer was accepted. But as a Realtor who knows photos are everything to a successful listing, this was especially nice to hear how significant the photos and floor plan were in her overall decision to move ahead and write the offer.
