My experience with Strait Photos was nothing but frustrating and unbelievable. First, Kara cancelled a mini-shoot on me as I was driving there and never refunded my money after telling me multiple times she would do it "tomorrow." I had also booked and paid for a family portrait session with her and after months of poor communication on her end and strange dialog I gave her two dates and said if you can't work with these I will need to get a refund. She basically told me she wasn't going to refund my money even though she had previously said she would. We did finally manage to do our family shoot and she quickly turned around and posted our families photos on her Facebook site without my permission. I never signed a model release and the contract I did sign only gave me full rights to the images. I asked her to remove them and she didn't. The deal I paid for was an hour photo shoot at a location of my choice with all the images on a CD. Just like the refund she told me multiple times she would mail my CD "tomorrow" and never did. She got very nasty with me after I was extremely patient and understanding with her dramatic life that she continued to share with me. This is a very short version of my experience, by the way. My only recourse was to tell her I would write reviews of her company if she didn't send me the CD of images over a month after the shoot date (she had told me I would receive it within 2 weeks) and after that she threatened to "sue me for slander." This photographer has no business sense and on top of it her photos are far from professional. Be very careful hiring this person. read more
