Studio E Photography

Having never posed for head shots, I was very nervous about the whole situation… picking the right photographer, clothes, hair, makeup, nails (?), backdrop… too much input!
Luckily the hair & makeup was in the good hands of Jacquelyn’s Salon (
), but how was I going to pick a photographer — Help me Unilocal!!!
First, I read reviews and really combed the Unilocalers pictures. Studio E had a strong presence and I liked what I saw. Next I took to the Wild Wild Web, to see which photographers had a good web presence and what I found was amazing. To me, your website is like walking into your studio. It should be well organized, up to date and «clean» (no misspelled words, etc.).
It should not be full of stylish pictures of you and your family, it should not have last year’s dates and why is that family standing in front of a house? Art is one thing, wacky is another… does every picture have to been totally off center?
I know, back to my mission and I’m looking for professional head shots and once again, Studio E Photography’s website scored 5 stars. Wow, they even had their pricing structure clearly stated and easy to find. The pictures on it was stylish and gorgeous. And hey! I remember see that bridal picture on Google images when I was researching my Gillespie review!
Michelle called me back in a timely manner and we made an appointment for an outside photo shoot. The day of the shoot, it was raining, and she called and offered to move it. But I already had the whole hair and makeup appointments set up, so we did the inside shoot.
It took about 45 minutes. I could not be a model. I don’t have the patience and do not take direction very well. And there is the whole, «stand this way» and «put your chin that way»…but Michelle was super patient with this photo novice and let me comb through pictures and change blazer to sweater to blazer. No to the blue blazer that made my hair look like bozo orange.
She was casual and easy to talk to. Her whole demeanor puts you at ease and the studio is a cozy little office off of Hurstborne with the beautiful portraits lining the stairs on the way up. I felt very zen in her sitting room as we looked through other head shots.
The pictures were ready the next day and she Dropbox’ed them to me. They were great! I’ve gotten so many compliments on them and they are plastered over all of my social networks and resume sites. She sized them perfectly for uploading. This helped seal my resume package and gave me the confidence to go after those Senior level jobs that I have the experience for!
Thanks so much Michelle and the Unilocal Community that helped me find her.

Who really feels at ease getting their picture taken? My fake smile seems to always take center stage, however Michelle and Shane (I think that’s his name) made me genuinely laugh, that I ended up having some fantastic head shots. They are a blast to work with.

I just received my wedding photos from September of 2013 and I must say that they are AMAZING! Seriously, I am so impressed with Studio E’s professionalism (they were early for the wedding day), quality of photos, and, well, everything! They did a fabulous job and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend them– and this is coming from a super-​picky bride ;) You will not find a better photographer for such a competitive price.

Studio E took pics of my three granddaughters. I got a studio wrap of them that is precious… they do excellent work at good prices… How they got three little girls to stand still, all at once, I’ll never know…
