Even though Melissa got our daughter to smile in most of the photos, there are some where her bright red nose from the cold is obvious. We would definitely use Chandler Photography again.

Mallory is brilliant. With a photography style that is timeless and a personality that is warm and charming, she is an absolute dream to work with. We discovered Mallory while searching for a film photographer. We wanted to explore the idea of having a wedding photographer who shot on medium format film, as the aesthetic was classic and timeless. We are so fortunate to have found Mallory Dawn Photography! She was very professional, organized, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. She uses her expansive portfolio and experience shooting couples as a foundation for planning your photo sessions, but was receptive and encouraging of our ideas and worked closely with us to pick the perfect locations, poses, outfits, etc. Her photos are amazing and the experience behind the lens is very positive and fun! Mallory handled both our engagement photos and our wedding day. She was an absolute dream to work with! She braved the crazy wind and chilly weather in Joshua Tree for our engagement shoot and gracefully navigated our 250+ wedding guests and family during a hectic wedding day. She is professional, courteous, enthusiastic, and creative. She has a very good eye for detail, capturing so much personality and charm in her photos. You will cherish your wedding photos forever. Working with Mallory not only presented us with the gift of beautiful pictures to serve as keepsakes of our special day, but also positive memories to remember when thinking back to our wedding. Thank you, Mallory!

*** Review based on the Groupon deal only ***…read more Recently I need a photoshoot for social poses and discovered Jack Randall Photography via the Groupon deal. [Groupon package]: One hour family portrait session with one 8X10, two 4X6, and 5 low resolution digital images - original price = $430 but Groupon price = $49. Must return to the studio to view the photos or pay $399 to release all digital photos over the phone (no prior notice & only learned about the additional cost few days after the session). Appointment required and must call business number (no email option upon the first contact) to make an appointment (open from 9 AM - 3 PM for scheduling). Customers will need to leave name, email, phone number, and Groupon redemption code over the call. [Caveat #1 - location]: The Groupon deal stated "capture memories at 9 scenic Orange County spots", but in reality the studio only offers 5 locations (Caspers Wilderness Park. Los Rios Historic District, able Rock Beach, Serrano Creek Park, and Mission San Juan Capistrano). Mission San Juan Capistrano requires additional arrangement and an extra charge. Over the call, Studio Manager Kimberly offered beach or park locations as soon as next day or the upcoming weekend & I took the next day option. [Photoshoot session at 7 PM]: I met owner Jack at Table Rock Beach exactly at 7 PM and he was friendly & easy to work with. He instructed me with couple poses and was able to take approximately 100+ pictures in 30 minutes. The sun set at 7:30 PM and we couldn't take any more pictures after dark, so the session ended and Jack said to give him a call in two days to finalize the process. [Finalizing process - additional package & payment]: Unfortunately this is where the miscommunication & blindside on additional cost happened. I called Jack to finalize the process and he said few options are available including paying additional $39.99 to download all digital copies. All I heard is $39.99 and immediately gave my credit card info over the phone. Jack said I will receive a link to download in few hours later and I went out to watch movies. After I came back home, I decided to check my credit card account and to my surprise I saw $399.99 charged to my card instead. [Caveat #2 - pricing]: Jack did reach out the following day after I had left a voicemail and he emailed me the description of the Digital Package which is listed $399 (high resolution digital download + additional free session at a preferred location within 180 days & can be given as a gift + 20% off all custom prints ordered on day of digital package purchase.) Essentially I was paying $49 Groupon deal + $399 for all digital copies for a 30-minute session. [Communication]: Honestly I didn't mind spending a little extra on top of the Groupon deal, but $399 completely exceeded the amount I was willing to spend or else I wouldn't accept the digital package. I was able to clarify the misunderstanding with Jack over the call and found a middle ground solution at the end. [Conclusion]: I reviewed my digital high resolution pictures and they definitely looked very professional, but I really wish the studio can just send out a list of additional pricing options over an email instead of discussing it over a call to avoid misunderstanding. 5-star on quality of photos, 4-star on communication & resolution, and 1-star on Groupon deal with a lack of transparency on additional costs.

Lorin answered and was available to fit me during my lunch break the same day, awesome! His price for my business profile bio headshot was fair. On my way I realized I did not go through my normal process of choosing the best rating for the most reviews. When I saw that the business had 0 Reviews I was worried. When I arrived at a home I was really worried. Thankfully, after sharing my concerns Lorin informed me this was a new a secondary business to his primary Lorin Backe Photography which had 5 stars. That and the many rooms filled with his beautiful family portraits from his over 30 years in photography was enough to ease my fears. This man has dedicated his life to his passion and was easy to work with. Better yet he had me out of there in 2 minutes and was able to send my the headshots within a day. Needless to say I got lucky and couldn't be happier accomplishing this task working with Lorin. Much appreciate!

As a 40-year professional headshot photographer (and International Hall of Fame, Master…read morePhotographer), I not only appreciate the work of remarkable photography but feel an obligation to tell others when I see it. The work of Lorin Backe of OC headshot exudes the quality of superior craftsmanship, both in expertise and the primary function of a headshot, expression. While every facet of Backe's headshots is striking, his skills shines most in capturing professionals at their very best. This cannot be overstated. The photogosphere is replete with photographers who have mastered the nuts-and-bolts of creating decent exposures but the art of headshot photography requires something extra. This "extra" is where Back exceeds and what makes him my choice for my headshot photographer.
