I met Davide at an international film festival a couple of years ago and we hit it off immediately…read more He was attending as a photographer and covering all types of events for the festival including red carpet and behind the scene photographs. What struck me about Davide, other than being super affable and kind and fun to be around, was watching him work. I love observing people as they transform from off duty and "get into character." Davide was an absolute pro. You could tell he loved his work as he gently directed those he was photographing on where to stand, how to pose, and was always positioning himself for the perfect shot. I stood by and watched in awe as he shot pictures of the legendary Grace Jones-a former supermodel and musical icon, and watched them both work together effortlessly in perfect simpatico. Davide and I stayed in touch and promised to one day visit him if I were ever in the Miami area. I had recently gotten married my wife wanted to see Miami for the first time. I let Davide know we'd be in town and he invited us over to his hi-rise apartment which also doubles as his studio. Unbeknownst to my wife, Davide offered us a photoshoot as a belated wedding gift to us both which was a wonderful surprise to my wife and much to her delight. Having only worked with professional photographers a few times before, and being the kind of person who is usually displeased with just about every picture taken of me, I at least knew I was in good hands. To me, it was an honor and privilege to have Davide offer to photograph us having seen him in action before and admired his previous work. Davide was very encouraging, boosted the confidence of both me and my wife, was playful and fun and took the some of the very best pictures I've ever been in. Davide seems to have this natural and somewhat effortless approach to discovering the best possible angles and poses. I'm not sure if it's just raw talent or perhaps years and years of hard work and dedication, (probably a combination of both) but no matter what the case, the man knows his trade. Being a tad self-conscious I stress at times getting my picture taken, especially with someone as beautiful as my wife. But Davide assuaged my worries and made the experience fun and took some amazing photographs of us both. The one caveat to working with Davide is this; he may completely ruin any future experience I have working with other photographers. He is just so damn good at what he does I worry I'll forever compare him to everyone else. We were so lucky to have someone at the absolute top of his game work with us. It was so extremely kind and generous of Davide to do this for us and can't say enough about how much love and respect I have for him.

Craig is THE BEST. He is so professional and yet knows how to make you feel comfortable (and…read morepretty!) in front of the camera. I've had three photo sessions with him over the last 5 years-- two professional and one boudoir-- I am always so happy with not just the session itself but in his prompt follow-up when editing and getting the pics back to me ASAP. I've sent many friends to him and they've all been ecstatic!

I have hired…read moreApril for headshots, professional team photos, even my own engagement, and each time has been better than the last. Her demeanor is fun, relaxed, and professional. Her rates are fair, and she's even willing to work with you on a custom package if your budget is limited. For example, I requested some images back without any editing to reduce her workload and save me some on pricing. As a small business owner, I really appreciated that kind of flexibility! April is amazing for portraits, fashion photography, weddings, events, commercial as well as art and travel photography. I truly enjoy working with April Nicole Photography for all my photo needs for my personal and professional events & milestones.

I have now completed two courses with MIP and the experience has been so rewarding. My digital…read morecamera always intimidated me. I would take it with me on trips and I would always end up reverting back to my phone. I finally learned how to use it properly, and not only that...I learned how to take and process quality, beautiful photos that I am proud to display. Our instructor, JAC, explained and demonstrated various photographic techniques. We learned how to use the camera in low light settings without flash, how to properly use flash in a studio, how to take HDR and panorama photos, composition and so much more. Everyone that I've dealt with at MIP has been so accommodating, incredibly professional and very nice. I genuinely feel like you get so much more value than what you pay for the classes and I cannot say enough positive things about the school. I am looking forward to registering for some of their photography field trips once they become available.

In 2012, I decided I needed to do something for myself. So, I decided to do a photoshoot with JC…read moreRuiz Photography. it was and still is the best decision I made. while taking selfies is totally my thing, being in front of the camera handled by someone else isn't. However, JC Ruiz made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. He talked to me as if I wasn't being photographed and the results were freaking amazing!! I had no clue the package I'd purchased would entail several scenes and outfit changes. He gave me 150% of all his attention and made the shoot about me. He also made me look and feel beautiful. He didn't rush to get it over with, didn't make me feel as though this was a chore or that he was working. He was completely professional but was super friendly. I recommend him to my friends all the time and I will be using him again in the future. I also love the portraits he has for sale. amazing photographer!!!

The day he was suppose to arrive. Anthony ghost me. Didn't hear from him nor did he answer my calls or text. This was very upsetting. Not sure what type professionalism he's used to displaying but I didn't get that. I was subject to used my cell phone for all my pics. I would NOT suggest anyone used him for an event of any kind. I felt the non-communication was disrespectful. Still to this day Anthony has not call to apologize for his action.

He really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera, which is a great trait for a photographer. He was extremely knowledgeable in regards to finding the right poses that would play on my strong suits and how to manipulate lighting and the environment to get a certain effect. I'm glad I was referred to him because value wise, I don't think I could have found a better outcome. I highly recommend his services for any event where you need a photographer/videographer/full time socialite (seriously, you will gab for hours). I almost don't want to leave this glowing review because I know he will only become harder to book, but nonetheless, fantastic experience and I will do business with him again.
