Our experience with this company has been a pleasant and positive experience thus far, and we plan to use them again in the future for more family photos. We have used them twice to take family photos of us at their designated location. It initially feels a bit unusual as the studio is set up inside the owner's house and garage. But once the photo shoot starts, you forget about this fact. Everything is set up and done professionally like any other studio we been to. The photographer and owner take their time with each set and are very patient when working with young kids. Our sons were 3 and 1 year old when taking these photos, and they even let us take a break in between shots so that the kids could rest. We never felt rushed throughout the process and felt that our desires and concerns for each new photo set were addressed. At the end of it all, they allowed us to review all the raw photo on their computer and pick out the ones we wanted edited and printed out. We just picked up the photos, and they turned out beautifully without any issues with the resolution, color, or contrast.
Not to mention, they even have a few different backdrops (the traditional all white, gray brick, bedroom, school room, and one or two others), various props (like a Korean first year birthday table and toys), and numerous different outfits for both male and female infants and toddlers (like a mini suit or Korean traditional first year birthday). And per the photographer, they are working on making more props and sets. For the children, we only brought one outfit and borrowed the rest for no extra charge.
BOTTOMLINE:
Highly recommended for this price point.* We would be happy to use them again, and plan to do so the next time we need photos taken.
Here are some additional thoughts when comparing to the first reviewer:
1. This company seems to specialize and be better at more candid photos, especially great for just family photos you want to take every so often for the house or to commemorate a special event.
2. They may provide better service and quality of photos in their own studio where they have more control over ambient lighting and staging.
3. They are great for families with kids and kid photos, as they help set up creative and natural looking shots.
4. It will be easier to work with them if you or someone you know speaks fluent Korean.
*If you want truly high end professional quality photo for a live event at a venue, then you may perhaps want to use another company. But for the price point they are asking, I would not expect the highest professional grade photos from them at such an event. Ultimately, I think they are priced fairly for what they offer, and their strengths lie in taking staged photographs at their location. read more
