    Had my daughter take her high school senior pics here. It was amazing. The photographer was on point and gave her great ideas for poses and props. Can't wait to take my baby girl here.

Pretty good stuff take them out.

    One of the photos that was developed, that was shot in good lighting aswell.

    Went here to get a disposable camera developed and was met with some of the worst developing I have ever seen. Main guy who made the photos said, " I develop, what I want to see". Camera had 36 pictures taken and only received 16 back with the vast majority of them not being visible and terrible quality. Never come here for this sort of project, wasn't even a good price. Got scammed!

    A month ago I booked a session to have some photos taken of my husband and I. My husband wanted to take some throwback photos that looked like the ones many of us took in the mall with the airbrush backgrounds back in the 2000s. We found this place online after searching for a studio that still offered these photos. We booked our session on his Birthday. We arrived at our appointment time and took our photos, the session lasted about 10 minutes. We walked around to the front and were shown our poses on a computer screen where they digitally inserted the background of our choice. We selected a few photos and proceeded to review their packages. I was completely caught off guard by how expensive this was. Granted, I know the price of everything has increased, but I found this to be a bit ridiculous for what we got. We were extremely disappointed that we wouldn't be receiving any of our photos the same day, unless we opted to purchase a pricier package that included digital photos. They refuse to let us purchase any digital files individually. If wanted a package that included 1 digital file the starting price was $275.95. This was really disappointing since we were doing these to celebrate my husband's birthday and he was hoping to share a photo for his birthday on social media. I would be more willing to invest in a photo package had it been for engagement photos or maternity photos but a 10 minute quick session at a mall photo studio did not seem worth it. I take full responsibility for not doing my research prior to booking the session and unfortunately walked away feeling ripped off. I also would like to add that the staff was not very sympathetic, understanding or willing to work with us in any way shape or form. Our photos were ready for us to pick up a week later. when my husband arrived to collect our order, it was missing two mugs that we had purchased along with our printed photos. To their credit they dropped the mugs off at my husband's work place so we wouldn't have to make the half hour drive again to pick them up. Overall, the photos came out nice but I do not feel like the finished product was equivalent to the amount of money we spent. Considering the fact we weren't even able to enjoy the photos on his actual birthday. I wish I would have spent that money doing something else to celebrate.

    The photographer who assisted my daughter was excellent. You can tell he's a professional artist. Though how I wish the prices can be more affordable. But It is understandable because of its location. Overall, the photos of my daughter speaks for itself. 6-2019

From receiving the quote all the way to the finalization of the gallery, she never stopped answering questions and always had recommendations to make everything better and smoother. 2. She had fun energy and made the photoshoot enjoyable and memorable. Both my fiancé and I are introverted people that don't really take a lot of pictures. However, working with Stephanie was such an easy and relaxed experience. 3. She does her research and it shows. She is based in LA / OC County, I did request her to come out to Northern San Diego County. I had chosen one spot for the proposal. She came back to me and asked if we would also like to take pictures at another spot a few miles away. So while we originally only had one place to take pictures, we ended up taking pictures at two different places that were both great. 4. The photos came out amazing. The entire galley of photos she had were amazing and we wish we could have kept them all. The hardest part about the entire process were narrowing down our favorite photos in the galley. 10/10 Would Take More Pictures with Stephanie

We also did our engagement session with Mike, and, as a couple who's a bit shy about posing, we let him know upfront that we might need some guidance. Mike was amazing at helping us relax and feel natural, which transitioned beautifully on the wedding day. His calm and friendly presence made it easy to just enjoy the moment and let him work his magic. On the wedding day, Mike was both professional and flexible. We had a list of must-have shots, which included a 21-person wedding party and family, and he worked efficiently to get each one while still capturing plenty of organic, candid moments. He was very realistic about timing, giving us guidance on what was achievable without ever making us feel rushed. Working with Mike was easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

Those photographs are some of our favorites! Come wedding day, he was super professional, kind, and detailed with the variety of creative shots he took. He also had to deal with some difficult and commanding family members, and worked through it gracefully. Throughout the night, we didn't notice him at all taking thoughtful pictures because he does it so ninja-like. The turnaround with receiving our photographs was speedy as well. We are in love with all the photographs, from couple pictures to family ones and ceremony and reception. Even the photographs of the decor and plants (he and I share that passion) are stunning. The photographs capture the fun spirit of our wedding with such rawness and personality. We love his style, both in taking the pictures and how they turned out. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

    Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look
