We hired Gina for family portraits over Christmas break - $200 for ~50 minute photo session + edited shots. Overall, Gina's professionalism, responsiveness, punctuality and interaction with us were excellent. 5 stars. She even worked great with our strange family dynamics of whom could be photographed with whom.
She is a self described learner of photography, and I guess I was expecting an expert. I am a professional photographer and wanted to be IN the photos with my family, not taking the photos, which I why I hired someone. Please understand, my critique of her photography is going to be at a higher level than average folks.
Her shots were "OK". 3 stars. Good interaction with the kids and dog got some fun poses, while other poses fell flat, mostly with the adults. She did some minor re-positioning of people, but not a lot, and it showed, as none of my family knows how to pose and the photos look a little bit awkward. Add to that, there were several technical issues with the photos including many were soft from using a shutter speed too low, most are over-sharpened which strengthen our wrinkles, and some are over exposed. We are light skinned, but some the photos make us look even paler. All of them were small, like 8MP, so maximum print size about 8x10. Even the non photographers in my family were not thrilled with the results, so it's not entirely my persnicketiness.
We got a handful of ones that we like and can use. Final score 4 stars.

Hi, Brian! Thank you so much for taking the time to write out a thoughtful review! I appreciate your kindness and professionalism. I am in fact a "self-described learner of photography", and I am not a expert. This is one of my main reasons I price my sessions the way I do. I take my skill set into major consideration based on this.
I realize editing and posing styles differ from artist to artist, and this expert level feedback you've providing is something I will take to heart and apply to my continuing education in photography.
Again, thank you for your feedback and review.

Where do I start? Gina was great from start to finish. She was in contact right away and had a quick response whenever I texted and had a question. She was awesome! Through her texts I knew we'd get a long just fine. We met at our location and she was on time and got along with my daughter's and my dog great. My dog usually barks and growls at people but nope, not Gina, he did great with her. She also was great with my girls and had the patience for them hahaha. Being that I have a 5 and 3.5 year old you can imagine how much patience anyone can have with them. We finished our session and I received our photos and I could not be more thankful. The photos turned out beautiful! I thought my younger daughter wasn't going to have any good ones and have that awkward smile but Gina got some pretty good ones and I cannot thank her enough.

I am a self taught photographer. I found photography wonderful because I was able to capture and document my own family and I wanted to share it with others.
