This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

Living in Chicago in the winter won't allow you to show off your bump too much under all of the layers you need to wear! So I did a lot of research and spoke to a few photographers and came across Michael! He was super responsive and very accommodating on where to meet and had good advice for the timing of the photo session. When it came to the day of the shoot, he was on time and ready to go! He gave good directions and made us feel super comfortable. I am not very photogenic and can be a little awkward but his direction and energy really made the whole thing so much fun. Michael went above and beyond for us and took such beautiful photos! This is my husband's and mine 1st baby, so we are super excited and happy, and Michael captured exactly that. I am so grateful for his 200% efforts and will recommend him to anyone! Looking forward to going back to Kauai and doing another photo shoot with our future daughter! Thank you again, Michael!!!!

Michael came highly recommended by several people I had contacted and he never let us down. From the moment we booked to the day of the wedding, he was there for us no matter what question or concern we had. we booked Michael for a good 7 hours that day. He captured every moment of our special day from my beautiful bride getting ready with the hair and makeup stylist, myself waiting patiently in the bar, to the ride to the private waterfall and then onto the beach and finally back to the St Regis at sunset. Michael promised the pictures back within 4-6 weeks, however, knowing that we had a wedding party happening 3 weeks later he proceeded to get the pictures and a surprise compilation video put together which blew us away. http://www.iloveyouphotography.com/p131773810/e5e54bb30 Michael did an amazing job and comes highly recommended to anyone else looking on the island.

I wasn't surprised when she started her photography business. She is wonderful to work with. She has clear ideas and tells you what those are, and she will work with you to capture exactly what you're wanting to capture, if not more! We had a blast trying to get a great action shot of my puppy playing at the lake. She'll go to great lengths to get the right shot, even if that means I'm running and jumping over her while she's snapping away on her camera to get my dog running. The pictures she took are amazing, and I was so happy to get to spend that kind of time with her. If I can attach some of the photos, I will. You can't go wrong with Donna Young Photography!
