We were very disappointed with our family beach photo session. With a large group, we put a lot of…read moretime and coordination into getting everyone together, and we had been looking forward to these photos all summer. Unfortunately, there was very little direction during the hour-long session. We were not given much guidance with posing or positioning, and our requests to try different areas of the beach were not really accommodated. The session often felt more like "point and shoot" than a guided photography experience. We were also told to expect a 10-day turnaround, but it took closer to three weeks, with the only explanation being that there was a lot of editing involved. When we received the gallery, however, the photos appeared minimally edited, with visible blemishes, flyaway hairs, and even a child in the background of some images. It was especially disappointing because this was a rare opportunity to have our entire family together, and we had hoped the final photos would reflect the time, effort, and anticipation that went into making this happen. Sadly, the experience and final results fell well short of our expectations.

Avoid Baby duck photography Awful experience from start to…read morefinish July 6 I paid and booked for ENGAGEMENT photos at Long Beach island at 3 pm for August 17 (our anniversary) July 6 she said Got it! Thanks so much. I will send a confirmation a few days before with specifics where to meet etc August 16 I REACHED OUT TO HER to verify we were still on since I haven't heard a peep out of her. August 16 3:36 she confirmed we were on. August 17 she canceled due to lack of permit. Personally I feel like that was a lie due it being a public place and she didn't have any equipment set up and it was a small group (3 people ) She gave me an alternative of another beach and I said no because Long Beach has the light house. The location means something to us as I told her the backstory. August 17 she did offer me a refund or reschedul We rescheduled for august 31st at 8 am August 30 she reached out to me for confirmation It was confirmed by me same day August 31st comes it's 8 am it's at the beach it's cold and she's complaining. It's cold. She wore the wrong shoes. She is worried about her animals at home because she thinks she left the window open and they might be cold. She's telling me she loves to shoot here but it's her first time shooting here. There is a walkway we go to and she's mumbling to herself. She isn't really looking through the lens unless she's videotaping herself take the photos. We felt drastically rushed. I was off because I fees off energy. Her energy was awful it put me in a bad mood. She ONLY TOOK FAMILY PICTURES. She left in a hurry. Told me she will have our sneak peaks in 24-48 hours. Our actual pictures in 14 days I try to be patient. I actually forget about the sneak peaks. I contact her at 14 days no answer. 22 days later multiple texts messages and comments on her page she finally answers. She told me I would get my pictures same day. Most of the pictures are blurry and have SHITTY FILTERS ON THEM. No editing at all. I blend in with the background. My fiancé face is damn near hidden in the sunlight. My son's hair looks crazy from her touching it. I personally have to edit my pictures myself which is fine because I can do that. I personally paid way too much money for a terrible experience. Getting ahold of her is like pulling teeth. So a full refund will never happen. I highly do not recommend. Nothing about that is professional at all.

Disclaimer: Jeani Catalano Grady, the photographer and business owner, is my step-cousin on my…read moremom's side. That said, Catalano Studio is the only place that I'd ever consider using for professional photography. Jeani is the sweetest person on earth, and her photographs are beautiful works of art. They're worth every penny (and she's not cheap). Jeani's studio used to be on Robbins Ave. in Northeast Philly, but she finally was doing so well with her business that she bought a single Victorian home on Bristol Pike, near the St. Katherine Drexel compound, and restored it. She now uses it as her studio, and it is filled with period furniture. The building is gorgeous, and the decor and furniture is amazing. Jeani did my Communion portraits when I was a little girl, and her pictures made me look like a beautiful little china doll. When I graduated from college, I had her do some more portraits of me, both in my cap and gown, but also in a really pretty dress in her beautiful butterfly garden out back. The only bad thing was that I got eaten alive by mosquitoes in her back yard b/c it was a summer evening, and I had on a dress and bare feet, and I am mosquitoes' favorite snack no matter where I go. But the pictures turned out beautifully. My mom also had her restore the photos of my grandparents' wedding, and they turned out really, really well. Someday, if I get married, I only want Jeani to do the wedding photos. She's amazing. *I can't post any of her photos online b/c they are copyrighted, but go to her website, and you can see some of her work.

When we were planning our wedding, I knew that photography was important, but I had no idea that…read morethe photographer was just as important as the images they would create. You will probably spend more time with this person than any other vendor, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to get to know Lindsay. She was able to capture our experience of the wedding, as well as, all the wonderful moments we missed. We now have all the beautiful photos of the ceremony, formals and first dance, but also a priceless record of all of our friends and family who attended. She was able to do this because not only could she magically "disappear" when needed (she must have teleported around the ceremony), but is also very intuitive and can capture people's personalities. She was able to capture ours because we were incredibly comfortable around her. We got a vendor crush during the engagement session and liked her more and more. Lindsay is also great because she takes the photos that you want. She doesn't push you to take photos that are posed and cheesy, but knows better than you might (or I did) that some of the photos you don't think are important she will secretly snap. What more can I say? This woman is amazing.
