Caprice Photo Production

I’ve hired Alyona for making pictures for my acting portfolio. She is the real pro and did a job well-​above all my expectations. I looooooooved all the pictures she made and also she is very kind, extremely courteous and friendly. I found Alyona on the web and was kinda nervous about picking a photographer but when i saw her portfolio, i didn’t doubt and call her right away. Very glad meeting and working with such a nice person. Thank you for your job, it was and amazing experience. Very recommending and looking forward to collaborate with you!

Found her ad for wedding photography on Craigslist for $ 600 with a FREE engagement shoot! I think, wow! This must be too good to be true ! I spoke to Alona and she said the free engagement session must have been a mistake because she didn’t offer that. I sent her a screen shot of the ad that stated «we value our customers so much that we offer a free engagement shoot with all of our packages «. She said she would do it «no problem». So I met with Alona, I asked her to bring the contract and I’d give her the deposit. She was friendly but when I wanted to discuss the details she said we can talk about it through email, I was fine with that. She said that she has only done a few weddings and that she was initially uncomfortable with it but now she feels more confident. I believed her ! I was super excited that I found her for such an amazing price but my planner was skeptical about the pricing. Yet, I wanted to book on the spot, but the contract that she brought didn’t state anything that I would be receiving. It didn’t state how long the wedding photography would be, how many pictures I would receive, none of that just that I have the right to copy and print her work. I spoke to many other photographers whom once you meet with them they up their price or say well this isn’t included or that isn’t included (all of a sudden) so my fiancé and I needed to have the details in writing especially since what she was promising seemed to good to be true. We agreed for her to send the detailed contract «no problem «by email within 24 hours and We’d pay the deposit by PayPal. I waited until the next day to email her to not rush her and she said she was busy moving and that she would send it either that night or the next day, so I waited. And waited and waited. 4 days went by and I thought it was an appropriate amount of time to give her before emailing again. I emailed her, no reply. I emailed her again the next day, no reply. I’m thinking, wow! Maybe she doesn’t want to do business with me anymore. I wait two more days (literally checking my email throughout the day) and my friend said «if you want her, it wouldn’t hurt to call, maybe she didn’t get your emails for some reason ». I didn’t want to stress her if she was busy moving but we had set the engagement shoot for the following week. But I called and for some reason she couldn’t hear me so I texted her. She said she sent the contract days ago. I didn’t get anything in Spam, junk, nothing so I asked her to resend it. She sent me an email (a reply to my last email which she apparently did receive and had not replied to), the email was blank., with no attachment. I told her the contract didn’t come through and asked if she could resend it, she sent the same thing, a blank email. I immediately reply and let her know that it didn’t come through And gave my fiancé’s email. She never replied. I waited. I got really anxious and emailed her again BEGGING her to resend it or to just let me know if she did not want to work with me (for whatever reason), no reply. I asked my fiancé to contact her by text to have her resend the email to him, she basically said that she sent it already and stopped replying. I reached out once more (I guess I should have been got the picture) and told her that I would come TO HER with the deposit and she just have the contract printed out but she flat out told me that I need to find another photographer, she booked another couple for my date and good luck. I cried .got upset and told her «f*ck you «and she said «fuck you too » …she’s an unprofessional amateur, don’t trust her. moral of the story: Craig’slist may not be the best way to find a professional photographer with quality work

I needed some interesting shots for my websight. Usually all my pictures look the same. Alona helped me look comfortable in some different poses. She was super creative. Even learned a few makeup tips!

Alona certainly Has an eye when it comes to photography. Her photos catch the subject beautifully and bring them to life, her style is so unlike any others I’ve seen. Her team is awesome and Every suggestion will be taken into consideration and applied where at best fit. They were really patient with us and you can tell that they really love what they do, I can’t wait to hire her for my next big event! Kudos!

Alona has definitely given me the best photo shoot experience. Not only is she a talented photographer with a beautiful vision but also an amazing person to be around with! It was my first experience in front of camera I felt really comfortable and confidence. As a result I got awesome fashion portraits. Will definitely shoot again with her!
