We met with Deborah from Simply Charming Photos. She did a great job! We had 10 family members that she was photographing that evening. She was very nice and easy to work with. Deborah had great ideas for different family poses. She worked very fast and efficient. We can't wait to see our photographs!

Me and my family went on a vacation to Destin and we decided to get some pictures. Fortunately, we found one of the best photographers out there! She chose the most whimsical spots to take our pictures. One of the best services yet!

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

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.
