Emily O'Brien Photographer

From the very first contact I knew Emily was the right photographer for us. Emily did our business branding photos and it was all so seamless. We would highly recommend Emily and we will definitely be calling on her again for business or personal photographs.

After seeing the work Emily posted on her social media pages it was a complete no brainer to engage her to do some corporate photos for myself. I am so grateful I made that decision because what I received was so much better than I could have hoped. Emily provided me with so much direction and creative input it really helped me in achieving look I was hoping for and now I have an extensive portfolio of images to use in all aspect of my marketing I can not thank you enough Emily and I can't wait for you to take some new family photos for me soon.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Mar 25th, 2022

There were some positives and negatives that came with Emily's work and I will try to provide an accurate account for an honest review. On the positive side, Emily is very friendly and personable during the shoot and took her time with my family. She gave us some tips on posing and chose some nice local locations. Emily was recommended by a family friend and her online galleries are very nice. Overall I was happy with the photos themselves. While there were things I would like to change about them, overall it was a nice set of family pictures. We shot on a cloudy day which Emily assured us was quite good lighting for photography. I think the amount charged was on the expensive side but I would have been happy to pay it if I was happier with the photos. The biggest negative has to be in the quality of the prints and Emily's response. I received them today and let Emily know they were not great quality, overly dark and a bit foggy looking. Emily wrote back and in summary said that the day we shot was too dark and that the prints would always be darker than the digital image. She offered to reprint but told me they would still be dark and maybe I should choose different photos. Ultimately I think a professional photographer needs to be able to edit images in a way that they can get a good quality print, after all this is why you get professional prints rather than ordering through somewhere like officeworks. Furthermore, when a client isn't happy with the product, there needs to be more of an effort to rectify the situation. It is especially disappointing as these prints were organised for mothers day and now I have no gift as I don't feel these are good enough to give. I feel a bit silly having paid so much money for something I can't use.

So happy with our family photos, photos that we will treasure for a life time. Emily was so professional, fun, and made the whole experience so comfortable. She is amazing with kids, my kids loved her and she captured the most amazing smiles and moments. Our photos were also received so quickly which we were very impressed with. I believe we are overdue for another session! Highly recommend!
