Such a disappointment getting my son's school picture today! He is a handsome little man, and this…read moreis not only my opinion, but what I see in the picture makes me cry. They should have told him to clean his face, first of all. Then, he was trying to smile, but it turned out to look like an expression of anything else, but not happiness. I am not talking about his body position that was not fixed at all. I think if you provide professional services, you should do your best to make sure your client gets satisfied. But paying $12 for such an ugly picture (didn't want to use this word, but I had to) is not acceptable. I don't recommend them at all. And it wasn't our first negative experience with them. But this time it was too much.

It doesn't look like my son at all. For what I paid for the Sitting fee for the Sr photos, I could've hired a real photographer with a real background instead of a white sheet or black background. The formal coat used in the formal photo was way to big for him as well and it is reflected in the photo. This is a subpar photography company that charges professional prices.

From the moment we started, she completely put me at ease. She reassured me that kids being kids is part of the magic and made the whole experience feel relaxed and natural instead of stressful. She has such a gift for creating an environment where you can just be yourself. Nothing felt overly posed or awkward -- it truly felt like she was capturing our real family moments. She also hyped me up the entire time and made me feel so confident and beautiful, which means a lot during pregnancy when you're not always feeling your best. That energy made such a difference and made the whole shoot so much fun! I cannot wait to get our pictures back because the sneak peek she showed me before we left were phenomenal!

We had an outdoor portrait session this fall in Washington D.C. I met with both Sharon Macorol (Bobbi Brown makeup artist) who did my makeup for that day, and Havar and was filled with both excitement and nerves. The duo were able to ease my nerves and were very welcoming and friendly. Sharon did a great job with my makeup and choose very flattering colors. I even ended up purchasing the lipstick she chose on me. Havar was able to direct me on how to pose, but also gave me the freedom to pose however I wanted to as well. He made the shoot very fun and comfortable even despite my initial awkwardness and lack of modeling ability. He was also very patient and did not rush the shoot, which I very much appreciated. This really showed me that he aims for, and values client satisfaction. What I was amazed by most was how quick Havar was in sending me the thumbnails of the shots. I believe he was able to send me all two hundred something of the thumbnails by the end of that night so that I could choose my top 10. After I chose my top 10, he had them edited and sent to my email the next day. I would definitely recommend Princeps Studio Photography to all of my friends for any type of photography that needs to be done. I couldn't have been more happy and impressed with how the photos turned out!

A little over a decade ago, I was searching for a photographer in the Washington DC area who would…read morebe able to take proposal photos as a surprise to my now wife. Jae was one of the photographers who reached out and ultimately the one I ended up going with. Looking back, it was absolutely the right choice! He was incredibly helpful in planning out the proposal and choosing the best location for our photos. He answered all of my questions and was easy to get in touch with both before and on the night of the proposal, keeping me updated and making sure everything was ready before the big moment. The photos turned out perfect! Even today, they stand out as some of our favorite pictures. Fast forward 10 years later - I had an idea to get a kind of "follow up" set with our daughter for our 10th anniversary. I reached out to see if Jae was still in the area and if he'd have some availability to do these for us. He got back to me fast and we ended up planning everything out, starting right back where the proposal happened. This time was just as great! Jae was fantastic with our daughter and really helped bring out her smile. He was great posing us and knew exactly how to work each location we walked to. The photos (again) turned out fantastic! Being able to look back at both sets side by side, a decade later, is like opening a time capsule - it's just so cool!

I hired him to take photos of my proposal. From the start, he removed all the stress out of planning so I only had to focus on actually proposing. He was essentially a photographer and a planner! Once I chose the general location and time of the proposal, Jae went out of his way to scout the place beforehand. He provided me with the exact spots with the best background, detailed diagrams of how to get to the spot, and how to propose for the best shots. Because it was an outdoor location, Jae helped me come up with contingency plans and what to do for each case. My fiancée and I are more awkward when it comes to photos but Jae brings in over 10 years of experience. He was able to help us get into the best poses and he edited the photos to make us really shine. Jae even stayed up late to finish editing our photos earlier than anticipated when he found out we were heading out of town soon after. I am truly thankful for Jae's help.
