I recently purchased a groupon deal for this photography studio thinking that it was just that...a…read moredeal... I have yet to even have the services completed and I've found that I've already spent $300+ ...not to mention the actual photo purchase packages seem ridiculously priced Although Leila seems friendly and her work showcased online seems to be legit, I've been kind of disappointed with the delayed communication in regards to booking a session time and answering my questions, however, I am still excited to go through with the shoot and I hope that it's all worth it. (will update review after upcoming shoot----------------------------------------------------------) Semi-Update: ...As the frustrations continue, it looks as though I will not be continuing with this photo shoot making my groupon and mua service purchases a complete loss... Although this photographer didn't work out for me, mainly due to the $250-$2,000.00 print prices, if you're looking to spend that much money....she may work for you.

I wanted to write an update and mention that when I got home from a trip overseas my photobook was…read moredelivered the next day (as arranged with Leila through email) on the 6th of September. I ordered some 5x7 and 8x10 prints as well and they were also delivered with the photo book. My photobook is absolutely beautiful. The pearlized finish on the photographs is to die for and the leather cover of my book is fantastic - I even like the smell. I got a brown antique leather cover on the book (after much agonizing over which cover to get) and Leila was great - she sent me electronic images of what my covers would look like and answered the 300 million questions I bombarded her with regarding the shape of the edges of the pages, the background of the pages, etc. etc. (I am a stickler for the details). Though I have spent LOADS of money on this entire experience I feel that sometimes a gal has to do something that is only for herself (I did NOT do this for my husband or anyone but myself nothing wrong with those of you who do) and I am pleased with it. Every now and then when I'm having a bad day I go look at those photos and I feel like a million bucks and it makes my day a little better. Totally worth every penny!

INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend Lyndsay for any type of photoshoot. Lyndsay is extremely professional…read moreand goes above and beyond to get you the best photos. I hired her for my engagement photos. I had a very particular type of photo in mind and likely far to many specific requests. She listened to all of my input and made it happen. She is extremely detail oriented and passionate about her photography. The photos are far better than I ever envisioned! Booking and payment was simple, all online. She was in constant communication up to the day of the shoot, providing ideas about locations and details of what was required at various locations (e.g., permits, fees, etc.). She did her homework and scoped out our chosen location in advance. The day of the shoot was a breeze. Lyndsay (and her husband Tony) made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable, as if we had known them for years. My fiancé begrudgingly appeased me with a 2-hour shoot. Lyndsay was so patient with him and still managed to get a ton of great photos! We got our photos so quick! Lyndsay gave us a teaser within a day of the shoot. This was so exciting! She turned around the photos much quicker than I anticipated. All of them were beyond perfect!

I was in awe watching her work with our bundle of joy! What she does is definitely an art!! We had a wonderful experience with Purple Owl Photography. I would recommend this location if you don't have a budget. I explained in further detail below. Cons: Extremely overpriced! We received approximately 20 photos on a USB flash drive and a few printed pictures for over 950.00 dollars.Looking back I still can't believe I paid that much for the photos but I wanted each of them because they turned out so beautiful! With that being said to get all of the pictures on a disk drive , the owner makes your purchase a package with printed photos. All the packages with the USB flash drives are over 900+ so be prepared in the financial department !

I am only a few days out from my session with LeZandra so I don't have the images yet but my entire…read moreexperience was incredible. A friend recommended her to me for boudoir photos and I contacted her and was able to book within a few weeks (though I believe she typically books further out). She answered all of my questions beforehand, gave me her cell phone number, reassured me, and gave me tips for the day of. Her studio is absolutely beautiful and very private. She and her makeup artist Destiny were there to greet me and they immediately made me feel extremely comfortable. Destiny did my makeup while LeZandra and I chatted about what types of images I liked and what I wanted out of my photo shoot. I brought some of my own outfits but she has a whole closet of beautiful lingerie and shoes to choose from as well. LeZandra guided me through poses and made me feel super comfortable but like an absolute supermodel at the same time. She was very encouraging and showed me images along the way to make sure I liked the direction she was going in. We ended up taking a little longer than her usual sessions because she was so easy to talk to and felt like an old friend by the end of our session. The whole experience was a blast and I can't wait to see the images. If you are interested in boudoir photography I can not recommend her enough!

Catherine is phenomenal! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I am writing this having not…read moreeven seen our full gallery yet, but based on our experience at our session and the 'sneak peaks' she has shown us, I KNOW we will not be disappointed. My husband and I recently added a puppy to our family and we searched for a photographer to capture this exciting time in our lives. What struck me about Catherine was her editing style (gorgeous!) and her familiarity with photographing animals. Our puppy is hyper to the max and VERY easily distracted, but Catherine was so patient and even had a few tricks to get her to focus on the camera. At some points during the session, our pup would be running around, looking at everything and everyone, and I would think, "well there is no way that shot is going to come out any good.." (because of our pups lack of focus), BUT Catherine managed to capture the most beautiful pictures! HIGHLY recommend! We will definitely be using her again as soon as I can come up with an excuse to get more pictures taken ;)

I am so happy with the photos, and absolutely thrilled with Gina's customer service: everything has been totally efficient and hassle-free. Plus, she did an amazing job wrangling our two-year-old son, convincing him (briefly, anyway) of the fun parts of the photo session, such that we got some fantastic pictures of him. Extra added bonus is that she is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Gina!
