I had pictures taken on the beach in July and they are terrible. The photographer should have let us reschedule because it was very windy but she said it would be fine and there was not another day she could take them. She seemed to be in a hurry and we had 4 small children and she wouldn't even wait for everyone to get posed. I am very upset and expect a refund!! I don't even have one of all of us that I can use to blow up. The color is off too and there are shadows on all the faces. Terrible experience!!

Read moreAs always I appreciate our customer, wind has been a big contender this year, especially later in the afternoon and evenings. We do not reschedule or cancel for wind yet it does affect positioning at times. We always recommend hair accessories if possible. Posing is a large part of any session I do and can become a challenge when there are 4 small children with (3), 2 year olds and 1 baby. With this young of age I have found that sometimes morning shoots can be more beneficial as they are not as tired after a long vacationing day at the beach or other fun outings that take a lot of energy. Also there is not a sunset to contend with giving more time to allow for the young toddlers to regroup. I have not spoken with you and were unaware until I saw your post, please contact me as I would like the opportunity to discuss your shoot. Thank you

What a magnificant photo shoot! We had a very large family and Charm not only managed to get us all done in groups and together, she did with style. I would say "hire her" before anyone else on the Emerald Coast!! We will call her again for sure!!

Really liked Charm. Our pics were posted as she said and the CD followed soon after. She needs to put the CD in a bubble wrap envelope. The case was cracked, but the CD was alright. I wish she would have positioned our bodies a little bit more, Ex. Checked arms, hands, shirts, & so forth. But overall good pics!

I would like to thank you for making our photo session a very enjoyable experience. We all had a good time, even my camera-phobic teenager. We are very pleased with our pictures. I would recommend you to anyone who is looking for a nice memento of their beach trip.

My husband, Tre and I wanted to thank you for the beautiful pictures you took of our family (Bradford) on June 8. They were all gorgeous, and we will treasure them forever! It was so sweet of you to send us a CD copy. We have been busy with a move since we got back from vacation, and I have not had time to place my order yet. I will recommend you to all of our friends since we loved the pictures so much! I enjoyed visiting with you, and I hope that your son is doing well. Thanks again for your beautiful photography. You are truly gifted! Sindee and Tre Guillot

Thank you Charm for our beach photo shoot and for getting our photo cd ready so quickly. I appreciate your willingness to make sure that we got lots of great pictures of our family. It has been a long time since we have had family photos taken, and the beach provided such a beautiful setting for our pictures.

We recently took our first family vacation to Destin and I am so thankful I found Simply Charming Photos. Charm was accommodating with our schedule and availability. She did an excellent job photographing our family. Since our children are so young (4 yrs and an infant) we were just hoping to capture a few shots of our family for memories. Wow, the pictures are beautiful, and far exceeded my expectations!! Thank you Charm for your amazing work! You were a pleasure!
