We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

We first engaged Tina to take headshots that our daughter needed for school applications. Despite a VERY short turnaround time, Tina was able to bring her into the studio and get the perfect shot. Tina talked to her about what she was looking for, got her comfortable with being photographed, and -- literally the same day -- produced several dozen proofs for us to review and select from. The end result was a series of absolutely dazzling photos that were exactly what my daughter needed (and came at an extremely reasonable price). Thank you again, Tina for so quickly producing such spectacular results!

Such a cool and different experience! Took myself on a solo date here and had a blast! Things I…read moreenjoyed about the experience: - they walk you through every step of the process - there's adult beverages for purchase if you'd like - the music and the instructors are so phenomenal! - you can pick up your camera a few days in advance (if you'd opt for the package where you take your own pictures) - the instructors guide you to make sure you have a product you'd enjoy at the end of the experience I would definitely do it again as another solo date OR

If I could suggest one thing to new patrons is to make sure you slowly turn the orange knob on the box to fully develop all of the film. For the amount of money, only getting 5 out of 20 negatives was disappointing. All of my exposures didn't come out and I was not able to fully appreciate my experience. Hopefully if I go back again, the experience will be better.

She was so patient, kind, warm, and very experienced with babies both as a mother and as a photographer. As new parents, she offered us advice and helped sooth our fussy baby during the photoshoot.

What you need. He calls the instructions and guides you through the shoot. And let me tell you... every picture is a touchdown. Another thing: the turnaround time is quick. He won't make you wait in in the last stretch of the fourth quarter. You probably have a busy schedule, and Preet knows that. You can trust this man with you and your loved ones' important life moments. Whether it's a team photo, Julie's graduation, or Gracie's baptism, I'm calling Alio Graphics.

I did not enjoy doing business with Sam Garvin. We have used his firm multiple times in the past…read morefor headshots and have been pleased with the results, but recently he refused to refund our money for a shoot that never happened. We had a candidate withdraw their acceptance of their new job, and so we informed Sam a month in advance that we no longer needed his services. He let us know that he "cannot issue refunds" even when work is not rendered. This was written nowhere on the invoice he sent us. Upon review of his website, I see it is buried in his terms and conditions page. Why someone would choose to do business this way, I have no idea. I could not in good conscience take my customers' money and then refuse to refund it even if I performed no work. Sam feels differently.

He really knows what he's doing and is a master at coaxing the best out of his subject, then helping them muddle through the enormous amount of material to pick out the gems with just enough input to make sure you're getting what you want, not what he thinks you should have (although I bet he'd be happy to pick out his favorite shots if you feel you need that level of input). Editing was quick and very responsive and I feel like I really got a great value for the money I spent.
