My experience was also rushed and uncomfortable. We had one hour to complete all our shots and when the timer went off our photo session was over, even though we had not completed all the requested shots. (we had 12 people in our group including children so one hour flies by quickly). \r

When we showed up to view our photos projected to the wall, the experience was uncomfortable. It is hard to compare photos when you flash through them quickly and can't see them side by side, so we did our best to choose photos that we though we all looked good in. She kept offering to ""edit"" the photos, but turns out there is a hefty charge for that. There was a big push to order wall portraits, which is something that I wanted until I looked at the price list and was horrified to see they start at $1,000. \r

I ended up ordering a couple 8x10s at $79.99 each. Don't worry though, if you order 5 you get one free. Thats $400 for 6 pictures. It took 3 months for her to deliver the 8x10s and we are not able to order more in the future as she does not save your images. (and you are not able to purchase the proofs)\r

There are some great photographers in the Portland area that actually provide value for your money. Starlight Photography is not one of them.\r

Cons: overpriced, lack of customer service
