I've worked with more professional people than them. Even im a better makeup artist and hair stylist than the ones given. When Mr.Fabio took me into the room to aggressively get my credit card information to pay these extravagant prices for the photos and other services, he mentioned how he spoke with the makeup artist and hair stylist and they said I was great to work with. And I didn't do anything with them because I already came prepared they complimented me on my look and asked what I do for a living cause they know I was good. But I should've took that as a red flag. But I wonder if they're all in on the scam. Mr.Fabio promised to give me a website and exclusive coaching on how to get into the industry to become a model and who to work with. And all they sent me was my photos which I've taken better photos from my friends, people I've collaborated with and even JCPenny. And a brochure of basic public knowledge, most of it was common sense information for preparing for auditions that you can literally get from a free blog online or even YouTube University. So I stopped making payments the deal for everything was $1,500 plus interest. I was desperate to fall for it but it's because Mr.Fabio lied and said I'd have a online website for casting directors to find me, as well as actual gems on how to find auditions and attend them since there's soo much scams in NYC. It was a waste of money. I paid about over $400 so far and changed my bank info. They even have offered to take off $500 and give me a reshoot and I respectfully declined. They just want your money. I reported them to bbb and they still sent me a missed payment message and I said I wasn't paying and they had the audacity to tell me it's going to collections. And so be it I don't care anymore.

So I did this photo shoot and was hopeful for work but after a few months of constant applying on…read moreagencyPro, nothing. On their portfolio, they got my measurements wrong and again, no work to be landed. They make you hopeful that their professional photo shoot will contribute to people getting work but wow was I fooled.... Also, make sure you read the invoices because the woman said I would be charged the Student model package for $1300 but they charged me the full $1500 portfolio package instead. Very dishonest and poor ethics in this industry. If I could go back, I would not waste my time with getting photos again. The people were nice but it isn't a place to try and get work as they only take photos. They make people have a false sense of hope with many compliments and really talk people into the industry of modeling or television. So definitely don't go there thinking you'll land a job. Don't let them give false hope because they contribute to 0% of any job opportunities and contribute to nothing else but money grabbing for photo shoots.

Mel is so warm and instantly makes you feel like you've been friends forever. I've never done a photo-shoot so I had no idea what to do, but she walks you through everything and tells you what poses to do to make you look amazing. Boudoir isn't all about looking as sexy as possible (that's a nice benefit tho!), it's a celebration of you and how beautiful you are...Mel captures that in her incredible images. I'm obsessed with the photos and am so happy I decided to do this. The hardest part was whittling down the photos for my album b/c they were all sooooo good! Also have to shout out Marlo for the beautiful hair & make-up, I felt so glam and pampered! The whole experience felt like a fun girls day :-)

I am so, so happy I did this and I will cherish these images forever.

She's really good with kids of all ages and does a great job capturing the feeling of each event.

From our first newborn session almost 8 years ago to the most recent one, she has consistently provided us with beautiful, timeless photos. She takes the time to ensure every shot is perfect, all while making the session feel calm and enjoyable. The photos she captures will be treasured for the rest of our lives. we love how she manages to highlight the unique personality and tiny details of each of our kids so effortlessly and naturally. We've received so many compliments on her work, and we'll continue to trust her with our family's most precious moments. We looked forward to each session with Isabel like a visit from an old friend and we trust her completely to capture these fleeting moment of our kids's childhood. We can't recommend Isabel enough!

Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

Despite conditions that would put a damper on most people's moods and creativity, Bruce was such a great sport - he came up with imaginative photographs that captured the quirky, fun-loving theme we discussed. He has a knack for finding just the right angle, background, pose or spontaneous shot. Bruce made my fiancé and I comfortable in front of the camera (a big challenge) and had us laughing and smiling the whole time. The end result was a collection of hilarious, touching, and beautiful photographs that capture our personalities to a T. I could not recommend Bruce Spero Photography more highly.

He's also passionate about photography and it shows.

With Bella behind the camera, I was able to relax and be in the moment with my guests, and she really knoinccked it out of the park with the gallery she delivered. I could not possibly have asked for better photos -- they will help our family remember this day for generations in a beautiful, emotive way. Since we booked one of her "wedding" packages, there was also an "engagement" session included -- it was a great way to celebrate our family in a more casual way, and for my son to get comfortable in front of Bella's camera (he's at a stage where he HATES having his photo taken, but Bella made him very comfortable). Bella is amazing, and we will definitely be booking again.

She answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable about moving forward with the next steps to make a down payment and schedule my appointment. I did appreciate that Ash offers payment plans for those who can't pay the entire amount upfront. I love that during shooting she was able to assist me with each and every single pose, which was extremely helpful because I usually feel awkward with how I pose. This made me feel good about how the photos were going to come out. My photos came out beautiful. I have done 3 separate shoots already (maternity, mommy & me milk bath, halloween mini) I enjoyed every single one of them . Sometimes things do not go as planned especially when you are shooting with a 3 month old baby that is crying . Ash went above and beyond to do her best to make sure I would be happy with my photos of my daughter and I. She offered and did drive to an entirely new location to try and make the best of an uncontrollable situation . I would recommend having a photo shoot done with Ash to any of my friends and family and I do plan on having another shoot with her in the future. With Love

I posted the above review after Ashley ruined my daughters first birthday. Since that point, she…read morehas repeatedly harassed me to take down her negative review, offering "seriously buy ALL of the decorations, get a baker to bake the cake, and I can even buy her a cute outfit! I'll even gift you a canvas print or an album." despite me telling her no, over and over again. I literally had to tell her "no means no." When that didn't work, she minimized the importance of my daughter's birthday - "A wedding and a first birthday don't really compare..." I told her no they didn't, given that some people marry multiple times, but my only child will only turn one, once. So then she threatened me with legal action- "I will be talking to a lawyer and sending a Cease and Desist Letter for Slander." I told her to go ahead and consult a lawyer. Apparently, Ashley also doesn't know how to use Google to find the definition of slander. It's absolutely not slander if it is true. I have all of this documented, including how she admitted that she was scheduled to nanny on the day of my daughter's birthday, and her plan was just to call out sick. Is this the work ethic of someone you want to hire and trust with your important day? I am happy to send anyone screenshots. She then proceeded to post pictures of my child, as well as my personal address and phone number on social media. She says it was a mistake, but it's just another incident of carelessness and thoughtlessness by this woman. She states is was a one time double booking mistake. But she admitted to me that her original plan was just call out sick to her employers so that she could do the photography gig. That's not a mistake, that is a purposeful attempt to let down her employers. Does that sound like the work ethic of someone you want to hire? Whatever she chooses to call herself, you should look up her reviews, yourself, on yelp and other platforms . She has rebranded herself, so you can find her services both under her name, and also under Sea You Smile Photography. I am not the only person she canceled on. I think it is important that anyone considering hiring Ashley know this information.
