Very professional! I am surprised this place doesn't have more reviews on yelp, they have a lot on their Facebook page. He has done my senior photos & my best friend's wedding. For my senior photos we did a mixture of outdoor shots & pictures inside a studio. What made me happy is the unlimited amount of outfit changes at no extra cost. When I was looking for a photographer, most of them would have limits or I would have to pay extra just to change my clothes for another photo. I have gotten so many compliments on social media & in person from how they turnedout. Definitely coming back in the future for my next occasion that needs to be photographed. read more

The one star is being incredibly generous. These headshots are horrific. Not at all professional acting headshots. The quality is reminiscent of grade school photos. In the 90s. All that's missing is the laser background. Also incredibly overpriced. $350 dollars for 6 jpegs of sub-par quality photos?? And that's the discounted price. I spoke to him about being unhappy with the photos and asked for a refund. He merely stated we could try again and that no one else has ever been unhappy with the quality of their photos. I told him refund or review, offering that he keep 100 of what I gave him. He chose the review. A friend of mine said I could use her words: "Headshots are a crucial part in getting an actor work. Casting directors use headshots to make big decisions and so actors rely heavily on them to represent their personal brand. Without a good brand, they won't get work. They won't earn a living, they won't get to make art and they won't be able to provide for themselves or their family. Because headshots are so important, it is fairly common to spend a pretty penny on them for QUALITY work. Yes, it is the actor's, or as I shall now refer to them as the client's, responsibility to research their options and they should be confident that they are getting what they pay for based off of their knowledge of the photographer's portfolio. However, the photographer has a responsibility to not only advertise their services accurately, but also work with their clients throughout the session to make sure that the final product is of high quality. Mistakes happen. Miscommunication happens, but these photographs are not worth almost $400. They're barely up to school photo standards. You could get more "bang for your buck" at a Walmart photo studio. I understand a photographer's need to charge for their time, efforts and talents because, for some, it's a living and not just a hobby. Actors and photographers fall under the same "artist" category and fully understand that one's time and talent should never be free. However, if a photographer doesn't have the skill to provide $400 quality shots, they should not charge nearly $400 for them. These photographs are ridiculous and will not get Jillian any work, anywhere. Yes, shame on Jillian for not researching enough, but more shame on the photographer who tried "cutting her a deal" to help a young actress save money and refused to give even a partial refund when he could only provide a cheap product that falls embarrassingly short of any headshot." read more

I'm giving one star only because I have to. I hired this photographer to shoot my daughter's wedding at her request as he had done photos for our family in the past. His skills are average but acceptable and was less expensive and was available for their wedding date. Unfortunately, It's been nothing but a nightmare. The photographer inserted himself into family conversations while the wedding party was getting ready. I overlooked it. When we still had heard nothing about the photos several months after the wedding we started asking when they would be ready. He demanded the remaining payment before he would edit them. This wasn't per our agreement but we wanted the pictures so I sent the payment. Still no pictures. Every month after we would ask when the pictures would be done. His answer was always "when I have time" or "as soon as I get to it" After a year of waiting I told him to produce the pictures or give back my money. He became belligerent and blocked me from contacting him on social media. He has said I didn't pay the installments on time (not true) and claimed I didn't have money for the final payment (also not true). We even asked if we could have the unedited pictures. He said we could but no one had the knowledge to edit them. He also insisted the agreement would include no negative reviews. I was forced to file in court. He refused the court summons then told the court we had been given the pictures (we haven't). It has now been over 2 years since my daughter's wedding. He has been completely unprofessional and unapologetic. Don't trust your memories to this man. read more

An actor headshot is a very specific kind of work. This photographer misrepresented his aptitude for this kind of work to a friend of mine, and doesn't seem to see what the problem is with the fact that she paid $350 for headshots that she absolutely can not use. In fact, none of her colleagues, mentors, or former professors would allow it. I'm a director. I wouldn't hire someone with the bad judgment to use any of the photos she received. This is tragic, because I know this actress to be particularly dynamic (and photogenic!). In them, she looks uncomfortable, un-photogenic, and uncharacteristically devoid of character. The backgrounds are badly draped, dated, and poorly balanced. We spent hours of class time in college learning about good headshots that get you jobs. This isn't about vanity and looking pretty. Our careers are hinged on good headshots, and it's a big deal when we can scrounge up enough cash to invest in some professionally taken shots. My friend would have been better off with a classmate with an iPhone. Now listen, all of his school photos look just fine for what they are, and I see no reason why the photographer shouldn't have continued success in those areas. But don't sell yourself as something you aren't to actors, or to anyone who needs photos for something outside your area of expertise. From what I can see, you lied to make a quick buck. Shame on you for not reimbursing her. read more
