Made it possible for my children to be part of their class photos during distance learning from another state! Addressed all my questions thoroughly and promptly. Very grateful!

I found Darel Roa Photography through Bark! They did a great job of replying quickly, answering my questions, and providing exceptional service. Their office is located at a dual home/office workspace on the bottom floor. They offer both an indoor and outdoor shooting area. I have already received multiple positive comments about the professional headshots I acquired. I would recommend Darel and Linda for both their touch-up capabilities (I had a big zit that day, but I don't in my pictures), and their great direction during the photoshoot.

Report
Had photos taken for a graduation. They where overly saturated and of low quality. The pricing was also very steep for the quality. Would not recommend.
