Lupita (owner of Lupeny Photography) did the school photos / portraits for our son's school. The pictures are great and I love how flexible Lupita was in working with me. We couldn't be happier with the pictures we ended up picking from the large number of pictures we had to choose from.
While Lupita regularly takes "big kid" pictures, like high school portraits, this was her first time working with little kiddos. I appreciated her flexibility as she adjusted her options to address parents' feedback. While it may not be the same next year (she may firm things up based on her experience this first year, if I had to guess), I felt like she took the time to personally deal with us as parents instead of giving the school canned answers or making things very limited and rigid. And I love that she provided access to all the pictures she took of our son, giving us a large set to choose from. It wasn't picking from one or two or even three poses; it was a lot. I've never had that before and I appreciated it.
She does a lot of other work, too, and it all seems to be centered around people. She said some parents pay her to literally document their kids' high school experience, taking pictures of their marching band and whatever else they do during high school. Then she puts together a high school scrap book at the end. Pretty neat. She takes a lot of marching band pictures, and the ones I saw were excellent. She shoots both at day and night. And she has a lot of professional gear to take on different situations. From what I saw, high school portraits and activities are her bread and butter.
Bottom line: we're extremely pleased with the pictures we ended up with of our son, and I'm very grateful to Lupita for working with me and being flexible. If she does the portraits for our son's school again next year, it will be nice to know ahead of time that they will be great. read more
