When I was researching photographers, I had very low expectations. I wasn’t impressed with any photographer’s work that had previously taken my photos. I thought my previous photoshoots were “Okay” but nothing ever stood out. I wanted “Insta...gram Perfect” photos, but I didn’t know how to get them. One evening, I was scrolling through Facebook and I read a very detailed review for Hannah Charis Photography. Amongst other things, the review stated that Hannah provides clear/fool-proof direction and outfit suggestions!! SOLD!! Upon booking an appointment, I received a thorough and lengthy PDF on outfit suggestions, makeup, hair. She even provided suggested locations WITH sample photos of those locations!! She took all of the guess work out and I have never had that before. A couple of days before our session, she reassured me that everything was going to be perfect and to not stress about it. Deep down I was still extremely stressed because I had been let down in the past and I wanted “wall gallery” quality photos.
When I arrived to the location, Hannah was already there and prepared. Even though this was our first time meeting, I felt like we clicked right away and she understood my vision. I didn’t have to wait for her at all. We started right away to make sure we got as many photos as we could. She was so creative and thoughtful with EVERY pose. Her communication was clear, precise, and to the point. My significant other felt confident in her leading him through this process and I promise you he was not initially looking forward to taking photos. The photoshoot couldn’t have gone better and it surpassed ALL of my expectations.
I took pictures on Friday evening. My photos were done, edited, and sent over by Monday morning at 8:00AM. She also photographed a wedding during that weekend, so I was shocked when I received my pictures so quickly! When I looked at my photos for the first time, I cried. I’m an Army Veteran; I don’t cry for anything! I received WAY more photos than what I paid for. I could not have been more thrilled with the whole process. EVERYTHING was easy; not many people can say that about a photoshoot. No one else will take my photos. We pay photographers to capture our most precious memories/moments. Don’t make the mistake of hiring anyone else but Hannah! You will not be disappointed!
