Not only did he not charge us an hourly rate because the show was a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis, he dontated half of what he made from the pictures he sold to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

I will be sure to use Magic Moment Photography again.

Our son was a defensive end and a tight end, both positions that can be all over the field. How Phil seemed to be in just the right place is amazing to us. He went to a number of his games, in high school and in college, and the photos he took have made for an amazing set of scrapbooks. I know he isn't relegated to sports photography, so if you have an event you want documented with clear photos of perfect color and cropping, Phil is who you should call. He is very reasonable in price, and a joy to work with. Go to www.mmsportsphoto.com and you won't regret it.

Sounds easy enough. Cut to my kiddo who is a fantasy writer, in the Creative Writing Conservatory at Orange County School of the Arts. Not the usual kid, not the usual school, and a usual photographer was not going to do. I looked and looked for a photographer who could handle alternative imagery (I don't know how else to put it). Not to mention, my child is also autistic and shy and does NOT like photos taken, so that was going to be a hurdle as well. Another photographer, who's opinions I respect, recommended Frank for the job. He kindly took us on with very short notice as the deadline was rapidly approaching. We had the BEST time at the session! He made my child extremely comfortable with his warm personality. And he knew exactly the "feel" we wanted for the photos. His wife was also there to help and she was so kind to us. The whole experience was enjoyable. And the photos! They were incredible, and really captured my quirky kid's passion. We are blown away at how good they turned out. I would recommend Frank to anyone and don't hesitate to ask him for the unusual. He's extremely good at understanding your needs. I'm already thinking about senior prom pics!

DO NOT HIRE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER - SCAM ALERT!…read more I deeply regret hiring Jimmy for my wedding. After paying in full for a wedding album that I spent hours assembling according to his instructions, I was left with NOTHING. Despite numerous attempts to contact him, he has blocked me and refuses to provide the product I paid for. This was supposed to be a cherished keepsake of one of the most important days of my life, and instead, I'm left with nothing but frustration and disappointment. His unprofessionalism and complete disregard for customer service are unacceptable. I'm sharing my experience to warn others -- if you value your memories and your money, avoid this photographer at all costs. There are too many reputable professionals out there to risk dealing with someone so dishonest.

I hope our league does not use this company again next year. They are such a scam. You are supposed…read moreto get a team photo and player button for FREE with registration however this company makes you use a coupon to purchase it and if your coach doesn't make it specifically clear that you have to go to the company website and order the pin and photo you do not automatically get one. We have been playing Little League in our family for over 20 years and this is the first time that if you didn't go to the photographers website and specifically order the pin and team photo that you didn't get one. So now, families are having to pay six dollars shipping to get the "free" pin and photo. Even worse, the coupon they give you doesn't expire until July 5, but here we are May 31 and they are archiving our photos and we can no longer purchase because they don't have sufficient storage space. What in the world kind of photography organization does not have enough storage space? Not only that, when I went to login they offered my photos from two years ago. So do you have storage space or not? This company is an incredible scam and I hope our league did not pay them in advance for the buttons and team photos or they made a sizable sum of money by not sending out merchandise that had already been paid for. Additionally I want to purchase two different poses and have to buy them à la cart because when you choose the "two print item package" one of those print items has to be a team photo. Why would I want to pay for a second team photo when I already got one for "free" with the pin (that I had to pay $6 shipping to get the "free" item)? So ultimately I'm having to pay $20 per photo because if I order the multi-pose pack it's $80. When I told them that I didn't think that this was fair they told me to just pay for the pin and team photo and use the coupon towards the à la cart prints. The pin and photo is $9.25. So either way I'm paying for something and the coupon is useless. I just cannot believe what a scam this organization is.

From our engagement in 2019 to our small Covid wedding in 2020, to our post-Covid wedding shoot in 2022, it's been amazing to watch their photography skills develop into the amazingness that it is today. Below are just a few reasons I will ALWAYS book them for my future photoshoots: 1. Their quick and detailed responses to all my many, many questions 2. Their attention to detail on day of the shoot 3. Their ability to make the photo shoot fun and practically effortless 4. Their creativity with posing us 5. Their detailed editing and willingness to hear your feedback 6. Their very timely delivery of final products (I've had other photographers who have stated an 8-12 week turnaround) 7. Overall service! From making our stubborn corgi pay attention to the camera to holding all our things to removing a pimple from an otherwise perfect photo - they've done it all! We love you, MC Artistree!

After the November wedding, holidays and the transcontinental move to DC earlier this year and all…read morethe travel, I finally caught a break to write a review! Although it's been a while since our shoot, I still remember the day we did our engagement shoot with Michael and Yvonne. Because my husband lived in DC at the time. it was hard for us to lock down a date for our engagement shoot. Michael was flexible and accommodating to our various date requests and we were able to schedule the shoot with relative ease. Prior to the shoot, Michael discussed with us the type of setting, pose and style we were looking for. He also sent us a list of his favorites spots for our review, as well as some tips on outfit, hair/makeup, and other stuff. (My favorite is the reminder to bring a pair of flats/flip flop so my feet were happy for the whole shoot) We met up around 10:00am on the day of our shoot, Yvonne, the makeup artists/second shooter was super sweet and helped me with my hair/make up. We also convinced my hubby to let us put a little concealer under his eyes to hide those eye bags he got from being jet-lagged We then set out to a full day of shooting. We went to 5 locations (my favorite was Crystal Beach) during different time of the day to capture different lights. Michael was professional and provided instructions where needed. He's great at capturing candid emotions and told us to just be ourselves. 30 minutes into the shoot, we were so comfortable we forgot a camera was there. Michael's relaxed vibe really helped my husband since he laughs uncontrollably when he's nervous. Throughout the day, Yvonne was a sweet heart helping touch up my makeup and help lend a voice of reason when my husband suggests silly poses/shoot. We wrapped up the day tired but satisfied. The photo selection process was quick and easy. Michael was so considerate, he gave us a copy of our pictures in two sizes- large format for printing, and small format for sharing online and saved us the hassle to re-size the photos. All in all, we had a wonderful experience with Michael and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fun-filled, relaxed engagement shoot. I've uploaded a couple of my favorite on yelp. Enjoy!

I must say that he is not only professional but also very sweet and patient - he eased my girls' nervousness for their first photo shoot, patiently gave them advices and tons of encouragements on how to smile and pose naturally. A week after the shoot - he had already organized and sent me the photographs! What really impressed me was the quality of the shoot. Michael captured the girls' candid moments and reflected them beautifully on the photographs. He made the entire experience smooth and fun for the girls. All in all, I'm so glad that my girls had this photo shoot opportunity with Michael because of his professionalism and the wonderful photographs. I will definitely schedule more shoots with Michael. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!!
