Paid $500 for photos. Never received the photos. Won't return my voicemails. Very disappointing. Be weary of giving them your money until you get your product.

I loved working with Eliza! Right off the bat she made me feel comfortable in front of her lens. She was so kind and fun and she gave me really helpful direction in how to pose or even which shirt to wear next haha. She got my photos back to me really quickly too--I was shocked. I would DEFINITELY hire her again! Beautiful space too!

We had a 100 year-old Birthday party for my mother. Eliza came to my mother's home and took MANY fabulous photos. She is an absolutely darling person and was so gracious and lovely. Seemed like part of the family - and we'd love to have her!

Eliza made our experience at Jaylynn feel like "coming home". We were family from the moment we walked through the door. My daughters and I connected with Eliza immediately. The photos are beautiful and captured everything we hoped for. Eliza sincerely enjoys her role at Jaylynn Photography Studios and excels while doing so.

JayLynn met and exceeded our expectations. They guided us from what to wear, to what to expect during our shoot, and helped us pick a picture package that suited our whole family. The photographer was fun and brought out our best expressions during the shoot (the sitting was very affordable by the way!). Following the shoot, the editing staff made our family look amazing, even in the oh so hard to do sitting for 20.

They delicately handled my family's many opinions when it came down to choosing our best photos for print. They were able to do face swap editing techniques to ensure all of us looked like our best selves in our big family portrait. Our family's matriarch looks absolutely stunning. These portraits will be adored for decades to come. I would highly recommend anyone to this studio seeking family portraits.

I have recently had a professional business portrait taken, and both Cynthia and Jacques took great energy and effort to assure me of high quality work. I am impressed with their talent and expertise, . I am surprised to see reviews that are hard, as my experience was over-the-top excellent. The professional application in which I used these turned out to be perfect. Thanks for a job WELL DONE! Thanks for a session that was organized and great. You have a very happy customer in me.

Good studio, great photographer, but not really upfront with prices. Would be nice if they were more upfront with how much they cost which ended up being a good deal more than we were expecting. Pictures turned out alright- very much a studio look- but for the price I think I could have found ones we would be happier with.

I used the studio for my wedding. Bridal shoot, ceremony, reception photos and video, the works. The photographers & videographer were nice and friendly and on time and took some good shots. The overall product is of decent but not great quality. The photos are not edited well. When I got the professional prints, my eyes are closed in 6 of them! Our big 8x10 group shot has weird contrast and does not show the true colors of skin or dresses.

It took forever to get anything fixed/finished and sometimes more than one phone call to get a response from Cynthia. There were over 1800 images on 4 discs, and not in chronological order. Figuring out what to order was confusing and took a long time. And while many of them are very good there was a lot of garbage that I had to sift through to find the good ones.

I really enjoyed the photographer, Jacques, who has a great personality and lots of creative ideas. My makeup looks cakey in the bridal shots and again there was no effort to edit them to make it look natural. My wrinkles are obvious! I am so glad I got a video. The videographer was courteous and professional and got some good footage. He gave me a mic to interview people and I really liked that part.

But the audio in most of it is quite poor. A lot of it is shaky. And there was NO footage AT ALL of 2 of our parents even though they had speaking parts in the ceremony. JayLynn got all the main parts correct, but the overall product is disappointing. I can say from experience that other studios who charge similar prices deliver a perfect product for that once-in-a-lifetime event. I will not use JayLynn again and do not recommend them for weddings.

Cynthia was amazing! She knew exactly how to keep our babies attention and how to get him to smile! She was able to get us to respond and pose so quickly based off of her instructions that we were in and out in 25 minutes! When we returned to look at our pictures the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. They made us feel like a valued family and didn't try to "sell" to us. Instead, the sale was made through quality, quickness and respect. Great job!

I needed a headshot for my employer very last minute, the folks at JayLynn were so accommodating. They fit me in to their busy schedule, and even edited the photo after the fact when I found out the background didn't match the other images at the company (I had bad infomation) and didn't even charge me for this. The customer service is great, and I really appreciated them bending over backwards to help out in a tight spot.

Our photographer was wonderful and worked with my large family in a very professional manner. He knew how to position us and even remembered names. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our requests, including a recreation of a funny childhood picture of my now adult children. We wanted both an indoor and outdoor shot and our photorgrapher knew of several spots nearby where we could have some lovely scenery as a backdrop.

When picking the photographs I was very happy that my budget was taken into account and every effort made to keep within it. The finished products are beautiful and now hanging on our walls (and at my work). Again, the staff were amazing.very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

It was a pleasure to work with Cynthia and her team. They were extremely responsive and gave us a great deal on product photos for our business SolarSak. The photo editor Tammy responded to our minor change requests same day, and we got the perfect shots we were hoping for a few hours later. They're a highly professional and skilled team of photographers and photo editors. I highly recommend them for any type of photo shoot!

We had our photos taken about 5 years ago by JayLynn and very much enjoyed the experience and the quality of the photos. So when it was time to do it again, we I called JayLynn. The same photographer Jaq that took our pictures 5 Years ago was still there, so we requested he be our photographer again. Jaq was on time, funny and yet professional. Engaged with us to make feel at easy.

He even got my husband to smile (well smirk) for the pictures. Which says a lot. The quality of the photographs were very good. My husband liked most of them, and we had a very difficult time picking our favorites. We liked the photos so much we ended up purchasing more than we anticipated. The whole family looks great in each picture. Jaq took the time to notice the little placements of our hands, fix necklaces, and hair placement. And it really comes through on the pictures. When its time to do our pictures again, I will definately call JayLynn

Everyone at Jaylynn are such professionals and make you feel so comfortable. We have been using them for years in studio and on location for all of our family pictures. The pictures always turn out much better than imagined.

We have been enthusiastically pleased each time we have used JayLynn Studios. We have used them for many different experience from senior photos and our gorgeous family fall photo, to bridals and weddings. Cynthia is our favorite photographer. The other supporting staff are fantastic and make us feel welcome. We love the viewing of proofs and their system makes it easy to view and compare to help us find our favorites. I love that we can also purchase a disc so if not all of our favorites are purchased initially or if we need more we can do so. I heartily encourage using JayLynn Studios!

Cynthia did my bridals. I was able to my hair and makeup done with her before she took my pictures. She made me feel like a model. We went through different sets in the studio and made sure I was posed to look my best. I loved the personified experience and love the fact that I get to keep all my pictures. I definitely recommend JayLynn studios.

The service was great. I came in for a passport photo and within a couple of hours I had my pictures. The people at the passport office said my photos were the best pictures they had received.

Terrible terrible terrible mediocre quality over priced. This place does a terrible job I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I like. They do not have an artistic eye nor can you choose from a variety of backgrounds. Very amateur work here. The photographer came in late and reaked like cigarettes. Not only was I offended but he was photographing my family including my 5 month old baby.

We were completely rushed during the hours we paid for (sitting fee ). He was just snapping away didn't get any good pictures of my family. And what's worse they don't even photo shop or crop any photos before you buy them. So my foot was in multiple photos and a teddy bear. Just unprofessional as can be. You should look around before considering these amateurs.

Oh an there idea of adorable is 200+ for a few sheets of photos not AFFORDABLE hahaha what a joke and a waste of time my family and I aren't paying for there crappie work. There is much much better in the SLC VALLEY. DO LOOK AROUND DONT SUPPORT THIS PLACE.
