My boyfriend surprised me with a proposal in Galena. He hired Amy to shoot the moment. He paid her…read moreinitial fee and then after the shoot we asked about getting some digital images of the shoot. She quoted us over $1,000 for just TEN digital photos. No paper prints. I feel taken advantage of. If I would've known the price of only 10 digital pictures I would've taken more photos myself. Now we are left with very few images of one of the happiest moments of our lives. The experience truly leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Very dissatisfied!!

Amy did a great job taking the photos. However, had no idea the prices would be so expensive. She…read moresaid there would be packages and that would be explained once she took the photos. We ended up paying over $1300 for 11-8x10 photos. No digitals were included or offered. Such a shame. She needs to be more transparent about pricing and become more realistic about how to price in today's market.

Kim is such an amazing photographer! She has taken pictures of my daughter in dance for years and…read moreloved her work. When looking for a photographer for our son's senior pictures there was no doubt she was the one to use! She spent time to get to know our son and find out what HE liked. Doing this she was able to capture him perfectly. We had a great time at different locations capturing him. When we got our pictures back we were even more impressed at the work she did. We highly recommend Kim and will be using her again when our daughter gets her senior pictures done.

I started searching for a senior photographer about a year before hiring KJay photography to take…read moremy sons pictures. I followed every photographer I could find in the area on Facebook. As I saw pictures being posted there was one photographer who's work always impressed me, KJay Photography. After working with Kim it became apparent why her photos are so amazing. She gets to know her subjects, she provides great suggestions to get the shots you want. She has wonderful locations understands the importance of lighting and works seamlessly and creatively to get hundreds of fabulous shots. My son who wasn't really looking forward to having his picture taken, actually had fun and couldn't believe it went so fast. I am grateful to KJay Photography for capturing this milestone in my sons life. I absolutely treasure the photos and my daughter can not wait until her turn this summer!

My brother used Mindy Joy Photography for his engagement and wedding photography. Mindy was very…read morenice and professional. She had a list of photographs that the bride and groom wanted to take and she was very efficient and got through them all very quickly. She went with the bridal party to a local park to take pictures before the wedding. Mindy and the other photographer were very nice and easy to get along with. The most amazing part was that she was done processing the photos and were available on her website within a week!!! The pictures turned out great and everyone was very happy with them. I highly recommend Mindy Joy Photography!

Although I cannot speak to working with Rick personally, he has a lovely portfolio & has done a…read morewedding of a relative so he came highly recommended. I however did message Rick while my fiancé and I were looking for our wedding photographer. He was booked and I was bummed. We aren't very familiar with the Quad Cities area and I ended up asking him for recommendations in the area expecting that he may not respond. Speaking to Rick's character, he seems like a great guy and very professional as he gave us not just one, but an entire list of other photographers in the area. It was super helpful and not something he had to go out of his way to do for us since we aren't clients. Thank you, Rick! We appreciated this!

Rick took our engagement and wedding photos and did a spectacular job. We have hundreds of…read morewonderful images from both sessions and have received dozens of compliments on the quality and variety of pictures. In addition to being a wonderful photographer, Rick was easy to work with and it was great getting to know him over the months leading up to our wedding. His assistant for the day of the wedding was also lovely and helped to keep the day running smoothly. My husband and I will definitely return to Rick for our future photography needs! Highest recommendations!
