Lightscapes Photographic Artwk

Over the past few years Mary Buck has taken pictures of three of my sons (and two fiances), one wedding portrait, my two grandsons and a family portrait. Clearly I could not have been more pleased. Her photos look like the subject could step right off the canvas. I was looking for someone who actually understood that I did not want anything "posed." She is fun to work with and the proofs turn out so great that typically we have trouble deciding. But it is always a fun and certainly rewarding experience.

I recieved a announcment in the mail about Mrs. Buck's photography and I was so excited to capture my daughter's first year of life. The pictures have been totally amazing and I am so happy that I decided to give Mrs. Buck the opportunity to give me memories I can cherish forever.

I received an advertisement for Ms. Bucks "Baby Plan" (4 photos taken at 3-month intervals). It sounded like a good offer, so I called for more details. She confirmed I was not obligated to buy additional photos, but she clearly hoped I would. I decided that I could handle a little sales pressure for a good deal. On my first visit, I definitely received sales pressure, but somehow she talked me into spending $65 for a little 5x5 picture. On my second visit, before any pictures were taken, she asked me directly if I would be purchasing additional photos. I told her I just couldn't afford it. She replied, "Well, are you ever?" A little shocked, I said probably not. After that she began treating me like a second class customer. During the sessions, she repeatedly missed perfect shots because she was playing with her camera and not focusing on my daughter. She made me preview pictures on the computer in the very back of her studio, instead of on her projector (as she usually does). And today, when I picked up the final picture, she criticized me for taking pictures of my daughter playing around in the studio after the last session. She actually said to me, What made you think you had the right to do that? I expressed my high level of dissatisfaction in working with her, to which she replied, I just dont think we were a good match. What kind of business owner says things like this? Since when is the client responsible for making sure the company is satisfied with their patronage? In my opinion, Ms. Buck is highly unprofessional and very unpleasant to work with.

Lightscapes has a great studio and tons of ideas for unique pictures of you and your baby. They photographed our son throughout many stages of his early life. The photographer is good with kids
Lightscapes will also come to your home (or other location) to take pictures. They were able to suggest colors that would look good in a picture in our living room! what a full service photographer. We now have a beautiful portrait above our mantel of the whole family, our dog and all taken in our back yard!
