Words cannot fully express how talented Allen Tsai is. My husband and I are not used to being…read moreprofessionally photographed, so we chose Allen based on his stellar reviews. He did not disappoint! My best advice would be to trust him and his skills as a photographer implicitly. 1. He gives plenty of direction in terms of body placement, posture, hand placement, etc. to give you flawless photos. If you are new to being photographed like me, you'll find this kind of direction extremely helpful and comforting. 2. At the same time, he creates a very calm, light, and fun atmosphere that creates true, genuine moments between you and your significant other. We are two people that usually feel very uncomfortable in front of a camera, however we had such an enjoyable experience with Allen. 3. I really encourage anyone using Allen's services to listen to his recommendations. For example, our original scheduled date was cloudy and overcast. He recommended that we wait for sun if we truly wanted to be happy with our photos. We are so grateful to have listened to him, because the results were wonderful (see attached). There are other photographers that will say that cloudy weather is actually better, however with Allen's technique and skill set, he can do incredible things with the light. We will continuously use Allen's services in the future; we have found our favorite photographer! I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

My husband and I were looking for a anniversary photoshoot in Dallas, so I Yelped and Allen came up…read morefirst on the list. I love how his photos are very clean, bright and timeless looking. Engaged him right after, did our photoshoot, and got our photos, all less than a month (Dec, when wedding season is less hectic). He's very friendly, prompt in replies, very professional and definitely knows what he is doing, especially in giving directions to us while taking our photos. The photos came out to be better than we've expected. Truly a talent! Worth our money spent! In fact, his pricing is very reasonable.

My wife and I did our family portraits recently and had a wonderful time with Hoang Nguyen of Life…read moreStories By Hoang!  Hoang was on time (even early) for our appointment, and we never felt rushed even though it probably took us a little longer than most couples to warm up to the process. Hoang came up with so many creative ideas for our shoot at Cedar Hill State Park.  You can tell from the photos that we were having a blast!  It felt like we were just hanging out with a friend rather than having a stranger lurking around us. :) He really captured us accurately and in the most flattering way. Before the shoot, Hoang was very responsive to our questions, especially about where/when to shoot (as we all know, DFW weather is rather unpredictable) and what to wear. We couldn't have been happier with the choices he made since the pictures turned out amazing! And the turnaround time was impressive. Everyone LOVES the photos! We would wholeheartedly recommend Life Stories By Hoang for any photography projects. If you take a look at his portfolio, the quality of his work speaks for itself. But even more importantly, we truly enjoyed the process of working with him, both on the day of our shoot and in the weeks leading up to it. We can't wait to work with him again!

L ucy was very unprofessional during our communication. It would take several days for her to…read morerespond and it seemed as if she wanted me to work my availability around a trip she was taking. After sending several messages trying to find a compromise, she stopped responding. The next week she contacted me again. I expressed that I wouldn't feel comfortable with her because of her inability to communicate with me in a timely manner and her communication was lacking in professionalism. Her response was that I was not her client and therefore she didn't feel the need to get back to me as quickly. I was very confused by this, as I would never commit to a photo shoot with a photographer who isn't able to respond to me in a timely manner. This was family photo shoot that many of us were traveling to the Dallas area for. Our dates weren't flexible and it was important to me to find someone who could ensure that it would be a smooth process. All in all I felt Lucy was unable to provide time with the level of service I expect. Furthermore, after ending our conversation, she continued to harass me through text message until I asked her to stop. If you are planning to book a photographer please look elsewhere! I am not sure if this if her normal work ethic, if I had done something to offend her, or if she was having a bad week. Regardless of the reason, her attitude was very off putting and her professionalism was lacking.

This review is long overdue as my shots were completed some time ago...but still very well…read moredeserved. If you need a professional head shot, but you're not photogenic and/or you simply don't love the process...Brad is your guy! Not only is he professional and timely, he was patient. He took a ton of shots until we were both sure that we had good options to choose from as a final product. His turnaround was as promised, and I have gotten so many compliments on the shots that he took. He even covered up my gray hair! lol ---he's simply the best. You won't be disappointed.

He's really great at making you comfortable and directing your poses for the camera. He knows how to get the best side of you. I loved all the moments he captured of me. We were outside on the square of Denton and he was able to get some great outdoor shots and he totally embraced the spontaneous moments. I'm not always great at smiling on command, but his demeanor was great and he knows how to get a good smile out of you. Overall, I'm really happy with my experience and the photos look really awesome. There was a quick turn around on them too. I received them practically the next day! He does good quick work. I'm glad my friend recommended him to me!
