FIVE OUT OF FIVE!!! EXPENSIVE! BUT BEAUTIFUL RESULTS! . This place is the creme de la creme. Must pay for photoshoot on the day of (120), TIP the camera man (50), Well you don't HAVE to tip but its encouraged and if you have ANY CLASS; YOU TIP!! The PKG I choose was the lowest and was called the "4 POSE PKG" @ 599.00 you get 4 POSES. Now they give you 5 pics but ONLY 4 poses which I wasn't made aware of (I guess it should have been obvious (because it is CALLED the FOUR POSE PKG!) SO that was a curve ball and when it came time to go over the

Friendly. Professional. Amazing backgrounds and a variety of outdoor settings to choose from. As a mom on a budget, won't be able to afford many pics, but loved everything about this experience. My daughter was hesitant--she is camera shy-- and she was immediately put to ease and completely enjoyed the photo shoot.

Very friendly staff. Great photography. My son said the photographer was really good and helpful with poses etc as he had no idea and felt a bit awkward. Quick with appointments. Great packages to suit all budgets. Gorgeous photos, so glad my son came and chose his own Senior photos as I couldn't decide. Can't wait to collect the photos.

My daughter was invited to be a rep. We were reluctant, but went to the information meeting. They were up front about the program & about the costs for senior photos. Jason, our photographer, was AMAZING. Yes, theyre a little pricey, but we couldnt be happier with our photos & the package we purchased. The staff puts a lot of time & heart into what they do. They deserve to be compensated.

I LOVE everything about this studio! As a Valor family, we have had all of our kiddos Senior pictures taken here, as well as family photos since our boys were young. Incredibly professional team and absolutely stunning photos. The BEST!! I would recommend them highly to anyone needing photos for any reason. This team embodies passion, perfection, flexibility and are just lovely! I have memories for a lifetime because of them.
