Working with Chad Swinford Photography was an absolute win for me as a marketing agency owner…read more I hired him to handle brand photography and b-roll for Limitless Woodworking during a tight launch window. Even with a compressed timeline, he took the time to understand the heart behind the brand and what we were trying to communicate. He understood the assignment and delivered. From the first conversation through post-production, the experience felt intentional and white-glove. I'm very type-A and strategic by nature, and Chad balanced that beautifully with his creative perspective. He never made the process feel rushed or stressful, and my clients genuinely enjoyed working with him. It's rare to find someone who cares equally about the final product and the client experience. Chad does both exceptionally well. He captured the images and behind-the-scenes woodshop footage we needed to tell their story and connect with their audience. Getting clients comfortable on camera is not always easy, but he created an environment that made it feel natural and effortless. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer who combines professionalism, creativity, and care, I highly recommend Chad Swinford Photography.

She is also very accommodating to schedules , which is amazing when you try to balance a new life with a newborn/ toddler. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is. I also think her prices are very fair, as she does amazing work and has a lot of props to choose from and a lot of high end equipment. I have seen some places where they like you to bring items you wish to have in the photos but she has everything you would ever need. Even offering adorable outfits for my little one for her first birthday photoshoot. She is also so kind and fun to talk to. I have never felt rushed out the door. Her photos take around 2+ weeks to get back but it is worth the wait and also is not that long of a wait time from other places I have used for other needs. 2 weeks is very quick in my opinion. I will continue to go to her as I feel she makes my little one and I feel so comfortable while seamlessly making us feel like the number one priority during every session I have done with her. This is my third, and definitely not my last! Thank you Stephanie!!!

The answer to your questions about hiring Stacy Able Photography is YESSSSSSS. When our destination…read morewedding was impacted by coronavirus we made the decision to get married in Indianapolis, alone, with our families watching over zoom and postpone our big wedding celebration for a year to April of 2021. One of the best decisions we made was finding Stacy and hiring her. We are SO grateful for her work, it made our makeshift elopement real and you will not believe how great the pics turned out. Stacy was recommended to us by a neighbor who knew she did wedding photography and I had not seen her work before but since we desperately wanted someone to photograph our wedding and she was willing to come, wear a mask and maintain a distance so we hired her. OH MY GOD WE ARE SO LUCKY. THESE PICTURES BELONG IN A MAGAZINE. I am not just saying this, she is so good. I have had pictures taken professionally before and it is so awkward, I normally feel so uncomfortable, hate the way I look, my poses, etc. The pictures she captured were flawless. Stacy was professional, prompt, helpful, and boy is she talented - just the best experience possible. It was beyond our expectations. People are still contacting me months after to tell me how great our photos look - like, friends of friends and beyond. People we don't even know are contacting me about these pictures. Hire Stacy! If you are looking at this and would like to talk to me, please ask Stacy for my contact information so I can answer any of your questions, I am happy to connect and give a glowing recommendation. This was the best part about our wedding.

Not only is she is incredibly kind, with a remarkable ability to put people at ease, but she also overdelivers with her images in every way. The way she captured our engagement session and a full weekend of wedding festivities blew us away and is something we'll cherish forever. Even our guests commented on how she really got in the action and captured the dance floor without impacting the vibe, and those are some of our favorite photographs from the night. My parents also could not stop raving about what a delight she was and how painless she made the process of many formal photos. It is true that you will spend more time on your wedding day with your photographer than anyone else - and there is not a better person to have by your side than Stacy.

I thought I would get professional pictures done this year for my 2 year old instead of going the…read moreFlash/Sears/JCPenny route. I thought I would get superior quality and I like the idea of supporting a local photographer rather than a chain. I looked at Hanke's online portfolio. The pictures were beautiful so I gave them a call. The woman I spoke with over the phone was very sweet and professional. The photo session itself went fine although she seemed to struggle with getting good pics of a toddler. My main issue is: I think this whole experience was kind of a rip off. For $900 I received 1 8x10, 2 5x7, 3 4x6, and 8 wallets of 1 pose. A DVD labeled with a misspelled last name and 1 framed montage(?) of 6 poses in a cheap black frame. The pictures themselves were nothing special. The staff was very nice and professional and I'm sure these prices are normal for the industry, I was just not impressed with what I got for the money I paid and would not do it again unless I had a lot of money to throw away. If the pictures were spectacular I think I would have felt differently, but honestly I like the pics I had taken at Flash for his 18 month milestone way better than these...and I got twice the pictures at half the cost.

(they're not fooling anyone, everyone in town knows Hanke does them, but oh well..) So, we decided to buy school pictures when our child got to elementary school... What a MISTAKE! The photographer(s) who went to the school obviously did not make any effort to get our child to smile or get a natural expression so the pictures turned out terrible. BEWARE their retake policy! They DO NOT offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee! They word it so you can't get a retake unless you could prove their camera was dunked in water or something -- without paying extra $$$. OH.. They'll be glad to "allow" you to buy an extra package or pay $15 for a "yearbook fee". :( Write your principal if you get bad pictures!

This review is for the JCPenney Portrait Studio (Lifetouch) inside the JCPenney at the Mall at…read morePerry Crossing, not the main store. I booked a family Christmas portrait session for 12/9/2025. My original time (which I chose because it worked best for us) was changed to 8:00 p.m. without anyone asking if that time worked. Under their policy, the new time did not allow enough notice for me to cancel without a fee. We arrived on time. The employee who said she was the assistant manager, Val, was in the back talking with another couple. She said "just a sec" from where she was and then ignored us for about 15 minutes with no acknowledgment. When it was time to ring up that couple, she finally spoke to us only to tell us to move so they could get to the counter. When she finally addressed us, she said, "No pets?" We said no. She told us our session had been moved because I had booked a pet session. I explained I had booked a family session. She snapped at me and insisted it was a pet session, then grabbed a paper to "prove" it. The paper did not have my name on it at all. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she snapped at me for not noticing it wasn't my name and made a comment about my "tone," even though I remained calm. I stated two facts: that I had not booked a pet session and that we had been left waiting about 15 minutes after our original time was moved. She said she could "just cancel the session" and then told us she was canceling our appointment, so my family walked out. I went back in to ask for the manager's name and contact information; she initially refused to provide it and only gave me the name and main store number after I persisted. She then called a JCPenney shift lead and said she was having us "kicked out of the building." In front of the shift lead, she stated multiple times that she would not take our picture. The shift lead was kind and tried to help, but there was nothing she could do, and we left without any photos. Later, I received a notice that the appointment was marked as canceled and I was charged a $25 cancellation fee. I did not cancel this appointment. The associate canceled it and repeatedly refused to provide the service. We showed up on time, followed the process, and left with no photos and a cancellation fee for an appointment canceled and refused by their employee. The JCPenney shift lead was professional, but our experience with the portrait studio staff was extremely disappointing.
