Oh my...I don't have the words to express how fabulous our experience was with Liv By Grace…read morePhotography. Jay and Nila are a husband and wife team. They were professional and honestly, after they took the initial shots we hardly even knew they were there. They were getting such incredible shots, not just of us but the candid shots were over the top. It was quite honestly tough for me to pick just a few pictures to include with my review. They did such an incredible job and I couldn't believe how many great pictures we got from our wedding! Their prices are very reasonable and I promise you will have an incredible experience with them. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful experience and capturing our memories so perfectly!

TL;DR: AMAZING photos, responsive for scheduling, flexible, professional, we will use her again in…read morethe future 100% recommend! Wow, just wow! That was our initial reaction to the family photos that Alina shot for us this past weekend. My wife, dog (Macy), and I want to do yearly family photos and needed a photographer in the Northern Virginia area. After a few google searches, we came across Alina Thomas Photography - and we were sold. Alina is THE BEST photographer we have ever worked with, not only was she extremely flexible with our schedule she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable during the shoot. I believe one of the key elements that differentiate a good photographer from a great photographer is their ability to make the shoot fun and you feel comfortable. Alina talked us through each of the poses and looks she needed to get the perfect shot, and the results are amazing! I wish we knew about Alina when we were looking for our wedding photographer, after seeing some of her wedding albums and then experiencing her in action first hand I would have booked her over all the others. With that said, my wife and I could not be more pleased with the photos we received - we will definitely be using her for our family photos next year and referring her to all of our friends. If you need a phenomenal photographer for your engagement, wedding, or just family pictures Alina Thomas Photography is the only photography I will recommend.

Alina is one of the few vendors I didn't have to follow up with on every little thing, she was so on top of every detail! On the actual wedding day, things couldn't have gone any smoother thanks to Alina. She kept us on time and made sure I got every shot I requested. The pictures are beyond beautiful and I would recommend her a thousand times over! Thanks Alina!!

Bottom line: this is a great mini dachshund breeder and my puppy I received from her is the most…read morelovable, obedient, playful and fun puppy I could have imagined. When I first started searching for my long haired dachshund puppy, I almost got burned on a scam (seriously, who does that? Apparently there are a lot of scam breeders out there). I came out of that experience really nervous that I would get scammed again. When I found this breeder and she came to me with pictures of the exact coloring, age and sex of the puppy that I wanted, I honestly thought it was too good to be true and must also be a scam. But it wasn't! Katherine is really great, she answered all of my questions immediately via email and helped me through the process of a first time puppy mom. She does require a $100 deposit to be on her waiting list and then a $200 deposit once you pick your puppy (you pay the rest when you pick up the pup), but that is completely normal. She gave me updates on my puppy, a starter kit with puppy food and a blanket, other essentials, and the AKC papers. She even was willing to meet me halfway between where we live, which cut down on my drive! She also started my puppy potty training on pee pads which helped tremendously. I could tell she really loves and cares for all of her dogs. I could not have had a better experience!

The one negative review on here gave me initial pause, but I wholly disagree with it. It's a shame that review is on here because my puppy and experience with Puppy Love Doxies are both perfect.

By mentioning something about it they fixed it on the spot. Great service and amazing prices, I'm always happy to go there. I recently decided to go to Shaggy to Chic Grooms LLC. on lakeside because it was closer to home and had a horrible experience. I decided to put a review on their Facebook page and was harassed the whole time. Had the owner message me, stating I was never a costumer and she never groomed my dogs. As I was providing proof I went back to the Facebook page and dropped the review to a 2 star. As being insulted wasn't enough from the owner one of her employees decided to put up messages under the Review blaming me for not providing the right information. Being bombarded from the employee and the owner was very unprofessional and insulting so I took off the review so they would stop harassing me. I felt like I wasn't valued as a customer, like they had no care about how they groomed my pets. If I receive two dogs with hair patches all over their body's and a husky that had chunks of hair falling out after I paid for a hair treatment package. I believe, I'm allowed to put up a review without basically being called a liar and have the blame thrown in my face. The reason I'm adding this horrible experience to this review page, I want people to know that you may have a bad experience at Shaggy to Chic. In conclusion I highly recommend Stephs Bubbles and Bows you will never experience such cruel behavior.

Ive had my dogs all groomed here for years! my appointment tomorrow (April 23rd) is at 1230. I received a reminder text on April 21st at 923 am saying they needed my dogs uploaded rabies vaccines. I CALLED FIVE TIMES ALL DAY AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON ANSWERED! I LEFT A MESSAGE! NOT A SINGLE CALL BACK ALL DAY! I asked for their fax number to see where I could have my vets send the paperwork to as my vet office has a 24-48 hour records release time frame! by the way, the last time I was there a few months ago it was immediately after both their vet visits and I had the paperwork on me! I asked the receptionist to scan them and she said oh you're not due! no worries we don't need them! now 3 months later, it's April and they need them immediately. after the reminder text I got today at 1003am, with still no call back, I got another reminder message that they needed my records. so I responded with, "I think I need to cancel Bella's apt as I'm not sure I can get the record by 1230 tomorrow." the receptionist didn't cancel my apt but instead said, "she thought I'd get her the documents and kept my apt." all of this to say, when I told her I can't get her the documents in time she responded with, you're gonna get charged a rescheduling fee of $25. are you kidding me? then went on to say they were having phone troubles. ok so wait, you're having business issues that interfer with customers being able to manage what you require for them to come, AND CUSTOMERS ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THIS? NOT INTERESTED. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND ANOTHER GROOMER, THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT CONSISITENT. I wish I could upload our text messages, because they even said while trying to charge me, "a lot of customers are really upset, you're not the only one." Oh that's so smart to charge them then lol for your business issue's. Great business tactic lol we shall see how many stay! Update: Owner responded by posting a Google Drive link instead of addressing the issue directly. That alone speaks to their communication style.
