We recently hired Lisa to take our family photos. It was long overdue, so I was very excited to…read morework with her and see how they turned out. We were blown away by the finished product! They were everything we wanted, and we are so happy with our photos. She was so fantastic to work with on the day of the photos, too. Our three-year-old was a little cranky, but she was patient and kind and made us all feel so comfortable. We're a blended family, and our oldest is about to move out of state for a job after graduating from college, so these photos were really important to us. Not only did she capture moments we'll cherish forever, but she also prayed over our family at the end of our time together as we head into this season of transition. It was all so special to work with someone like Lisa, who not only shares our faith but is also a master at her craft. We will be returning customers!

Adam, the owner of Urban Tripod, is an outstanding family photographer in Gilbert, AZ. He…read morephotographed our family at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, and the entire experience was fantastic. Our family tends to be a little goofy and we came in with some unusual requests, but Adam completely embraced it. Instead of forcing stiff poses, he created a relaxed environment that allowed him to capture truly authentic family photos that actually feel like us. The quality of the photos is top notch. The lighting, composition, and overall professionalism really show that Adam knows what he's doing as a photographer. If you're looking for family photos at the Riparian Preserve or anywhere in the Gilbert area, he's a great choice. He also ran the session professionally from start to finish. Adam arrived early, made the shoot fun and easy, and delivered our finished photos in about two weeks, which was faster than we expected. Adam is a great guy, incredibly talented, and someone I would highly recommend if you're looking for a family photographer in the Phoenix Metro Area. We were in Gilbert or the East Valley for our photos.

Yes, I ran the NYC Marathon in 2021, but just this year did I finally get around to purchasing my finish line photo. After utilizing Adam's Photoshop skills in the past, I reached out to him to see if he could work his magic, and he exceeded my expectations. Attached you will see the before and after where Adam was able to remove three people that were crossing the finish line at the same time as me so now the focus is fully on me which feels super special. And he was even able to fill in the text on the ground that those people were previously blocking which wowed me. I rarely have a good race photo as I haven't figured out how to look photogenic while sweaty and in pain but that is a lesson for another day. Thankfully I have Adam to help me look a little better - I can't wait to order a print of his Photoshopped image to frame on my wall. Thank you, Adam!

We have used him at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix to take photos of employee events, head shots, and food photos. He goes above and beyond to get that perfect shot.

Our pictures are AMAZING! So many good ones, it was quite the project to categorize them all. But, he made it MUCH easier for me by breaking them up by day and event! (i.e. Tuesday night dinner, Wednesday breakfast) He was by far the best photographer I have EVER worked with. Not only were the pictures phenomenal, but his customer service was TOP NOTCH! He would take ANY shot requested, and even did extra non-event shots, like stock photos for our social media efforts, and corporate head shots. Heck, he even helped move a table at one point. He was just a team player all around, and made my life so much easier. I wish I could pack him up and take him to our next corporate event outside of Phoenix! Oh and rates were not only competitive but LOWER than others I got quotes from. Significantly lower. He's worth more, but it's nice he's so humble given his level of talent. In summary, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH DAVID!

"When Justine read the official rules and was disqualified because of her event date, she began to spread slanderous messages that she had won the contest and we failed to award the prize to her. Several of her friends posted online messages to this effect, and we felt it was appropriate to identify the source to address the concerns of contestants that were still in the running for our contest." There are so many things wrong with that statement. First of all, I was never disqualified, I removed myself from the contest when I found out about the 2011 date. Second, I never spread slanderous messages. I never said that I won the contest (how could I if I withdrew?) and I never said that you failed to award the prize. As for my friends posting messages, I never saw anything from any of my friends nor did I encourage them to do so. I wrote a very fair, accurate recap of what occurred on Yelp. Probably fairer than you deserve. Unprofessional (once again.)
