We are so so thankful that we found Amanda! Never having hired a professional photographer before…read morewe really weren't sure where to start, but Amanda made the process easy from the very beginning. She was extremely friendly, flexible, and professional, as well as clear and responsive about the process following the shoot. She was kind enough to allow us to come over and select our favorite shots prior to editing (super appreciated, as I tend to be on the particular side) and the final, edited shots were great--natural, while still looking like the best versions of ourselves. Excited to work with her again for future projects--highly recommend!

Picked up my first set of professional branding shots from Heather Mills last month--14 rather than…read morethe 6 I'd planned for. So glad I splurged! Heather brings not only an amazing team, skill, and professionalism to her work--she brings fun! And that fun is EVERYTHING when it comes to looking relaxed, real, and joyful. Here's why I'm grateful I made a bigger investment in her work: Author and productivity expert Michael Hyatt says content designed to include compelling images can average 94% more total views than words alone. 94%! Today I put together the powerpoint for a video which will be the foundation for my new sales strategy. I used 8 of the photos in that presentation. It's great to have more options! This video is the fulcrum where clients will decide if they want to chat with me. The more clients that say YES to the energy in those photos, the more clients I'll have chats with. More folks attracted to the presentation means more overall clients after a live chat. Just ONE client will pay the bill for my chosen photos. My business coach is completely wow'ed by the affect. "These shots are gorgeous! They totally align with your message," she says. "I kept leaning in and asking myself if they might be AI, but I can see that they're *you* through and through." Worth the investment? You betcha. Thanks Heather and team for an outrageously fun photo shoot and images that will warm my heart and fill my bank account for years to come!

When I was first in contact she offered to shoot my elopement for $1000 for 4 hours. When she sent…read morethe contract it was for $2300 and when I asked about it she said "oh did we agree to that?" She was supposed to show up at the air b n b at 12:00pm. Around 11:45am I texted her and said "hey don't worry about showing up right at 12, we're going slow this morning" I then get a text back that she was in an "accident" the night before. I was the one to reach out first to find out she wasn't going to come a half hour before she was supposed to show No communication what so ever, her backup photographer was inexperienced and took little photos and the photos taken were horrible lighting, closed eyes, not cute candid pics. She didn't direct us where to go or who to pose with. After the wedding I was ghosted. I attempted to reach out MULTIPLE times on multiple platforms and text with no reply. It was only when I threatened legal action that she released the pictures taken to me. She admitted the photos were "not to her standards" but that didn't give any reason for her to hold these photos from me. All while posting pictures of other weddings she did, it made me feel like garbage knowing ours were not good She offered to do a reshoot but who wants to get in their wedding dress and make everyone get dressed up and drive 6 hours to the UP again. The day can't be replaced. She offered a partial refund that we have not received and we still have not gotten our wedding album that we paid for and it has been 9 months, I am yet again being ghosted. Please for the sake of your sanity DO NOT book with Beautiful Chaos Photography, it's been the most unprofessional photographer I have ever worked with.

We booked long in advance of course and as luck had it our son was a little bit sick when he arrived... Peggy acted as though he was deathly ill, asked him to sit in a specific spot, rushed us along to do the shoot. We didn't bring many changes of clothing or anything, but to my knowledge we were paying for an hour of her time for all of this process. She RUSHED to get the pictures of my son done, the way she was acting you'd seriously think he was dying. One of the nicer touches was she offered to touch up my wife's make up and had handy things around to make sure the girls looked beautiful. The downside of the make up touch was my wife showed her during that process that her teeth aren't that great, to which it got brought up multiple times during the actual photo sessions "No one wants to show teeth huh!?" No, sorry. When I mentioned I didn't have front teeth she kinda just talked over me, which ties into what I brought up earlier, the rushing. We were there for a total of 35 minutes. During the clothing change of the girls, my wife sat in the area she designated my son to sit previously, to which she was kinda snapped at and told "That's my chair, there's other seating over here." Which is very confusing, but lead to her later emailing saying "These things happen, I am now sick." obviously blaming the illness on my son. Weird she was the only one this sickness passed to. I do like some of the pictures, well.. Like five of them. Out of I believe she said 142? I believe this is mostly because she just rushed us, and I really didn't like that one bit. The ONE family photo we got, which is what I personally REALLY wanted, my son is standing off away from the rest of the family.

So I found Kari Renee Photography through an ad on Facebook. She was giving a promotion for $1,000…read morefor just her as my wedding photographer and a 2nd photographer for about another $500. I also paid an additional $200 to have her come a couple hours sooner to take some pictures during my traditional string ceremony we have before the church service. This is a very great deal for two photographers and after reviewing her website: https://www.karireneephotography.com/ the pictures looks great to me so I got her booked. Throughout the month, we have communicated to ensure we are both on the same page and she had me send her a schedule of everything that we need the photographer. The day PRIOR to my wedding, she said she had a family emergency and cannot make it to the wedding, but per contract, she found a replacement. To me, that was fine about finding a replacement and I understand there being a family emergency, but I asked her if the replacement is still able to arrive a couple hours early to take pictures during my string ceremony since I paid her already and she wasn't sure. I asked if the 2nd photographer is able to attend early and she advised she hasn't secured a 2nd photographer but she is working on it! This really got me stressed as the 2nd photographer is not secured and now I may not be able to have a photographer for my string ceremony...I consistently checked my messages throughout the day as I'm preparing for my wedding and finally I get a message to confirm a photographer can attend my string ceremony and a 2nd photographer is secured! She asked me for the wedding day schedule again so I resend it, not a big deal... The day of my wedding, the photographer did show up for the string ceremony, and I asked the replacement photographer if she will be there for the ceremony at the church which she said yes. After the ceremony, I realized NO PHOTOGRAPHER SHOWED UP! I was very upset as I had my mom and grandma involved during the ceremony and I wanted to get some professional pictures of them as my grandma is starting to lose her memory! I was very upset about this as I now have not gotten any professional pictures during my entire ceremony even though I confirmed with the photographer that she would be there about an hour prior before the start of the ceremony! I messaged Karee about this and checked up on it and said there was a miscommunication with the photographers! She said the replacement photographer will "make it up" to me by working from 3-9pm at the reception instead of 3-7pm which I was confused about because I have paid to have both photographers there for the entire reception until 9pm...I was already going through so many stress during my wedding and that I didn't care to argue...I told my other friends about my experience who are photographers and all of them advised that if they made a mistake this big of missing my wedding, that they would reimburse me which I wasn't offered any type of compensation at all. I also found out that it was the 2nd photographer that should have been the one to take my wedding pictures and not the 1st photographer... Fast forward months later, Karee offered me a free photoshoot for anywhere I like and I assumed it was to make up for a photographer missing my wedding ceremony. I gladly accepted and asked if I can actually gift it to my friend who is pregnant to do a maternity and new born photoshoot. Karee advised those shoots require more work so there will be a fee but the offer was $400 which was an amazing deal but my friend would have to drive from Vancouver, WA to Eugene to do the shoot which my friend accepted. My friend booked a hotel, bought the maternity outfit, and had everything planned to go pick up her daughter. Then on the day of the shoot, my friend calls me crying and advised that Kari cancelled a few hours before her shoot! Before the shoot, my friend said Kari asked if she is able to change the photoshoot date as it was her birthday...my friend said she cannot change it as she needed the shoot be on that specific date she wanted (which is why I confirmed prior before giving Kari contact information to my friend if she was available to do it...) Even with the bad experience though, my wedding pictures turned out to be amazing; but it would just be if you would like to take a chance on somebody cancelling on you last minute or nobody showing up.

With all…read moreof the time, effort and money put towards our big day, we wanted to be sure we selected a photographer that we trusted to document the evening for us. We completely lucked out with Jayme and Russ. From the beginning, we were awed by their portfolio. Their photography captures its occupants in their natural state, where the emotions and expressions are both pure and raw - which is what we were looking for. They know how to artfully position themselves to capture the best angles for their work. After reaching out to them, the second perk we discovered is that they are a husband and wife team who can work together and capture the same moments from different angles. Their skills individually are exceptional and we were ecstatic to get have two high-caliber photographers for our day. We primarily communicated via email/phone and had all the details worked out prior to the wedding. Once the big day arrived, Jayme and Russ knew the schedule but were still great just going with the flow. I took about an hour longer getting ready than we expected - oh well :) Throughout the day and evening, they were always there but never intrusive, demanding or in the way. When the photos were ready to view, we were again blown away. They did an outstanding job of capturing our day. I cannot give them enough praise.The way they created our album tells a complete story from front to back. We will reach out to them for any photoshoots we may have in the future. Our photos were also picked up by Eugene Weddings magazine and they did a little story featuring us. This was a fun bonus after all of the preparation that went into planning the day.
