To be honest I felt very tricked by the end of my experience. I was told that I had "won a $1,000 certificate" $300 of that was automatically deducted just for taking the photos with the photographer. Then they had us sit down and look at all of the photos and pick our favorite. (This took about 30 minutes) They didn't tell us until the end of everything that the $700 left on the certificate could only be used for ONE PRINT.
Overall we loved the pictures, everyone was professional, the photographer was great! However, we felt very tricked and heart broken that we couldn't get more prints of our first family photos with our baby boy. We could have ordered more prints but we didn't want to spend (literally) thousands of dollars on prints. We ended up feeling like our time was wasted. I wish we had a better experience because the people there are very nice which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 1.

I won a $1000 Portrait Package from Breshears. We hadn't had professional pictures since our wedding. We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We had a consultation on Zoom with our family before our photo session. She got to know us and helped us know exactly what to expect. She also sent me a color guide to help with deciding what we should wear. Our photo session was outside at the Portrait Park.
It was beautiful. Rich was wonderful. We all had so much fun. Mary Ann helped us decide which pictures to print. It was difficult because there were so many beautiful pictures. The end results are absolutely stunning. I adore our pictures. I will cherish them for years and years to come.

We want to say thank you. We were selected for the $1000 worth of services they offered for teachers. (My evaluations are based on professionalism and being nice. they were both.) It started with the communication before our "picture" day. They wanted us to have no "surprises" and make it a positive experience. Lots of questions answered and advice from their experience. Both allowed us to be calm for the whole process.
Picture day, July 13th. Our photographer was great. His enthusiasm made it enjoyable. He wanted to make us look good. He was very creative to that end. We had lots of fun shots. Post pictures. After lunch we sat down to select pictures. She did a great job. She did not force her opinion. She helped us narrow down the possibilities and we selected the ones we wanted. We highly recommend Breshears for professional portraits. Thank you from the Knutsons.

I submitted an entry on Facebook and won a $1,000 certificate good toward the sitting fee, consultation, and photos. Went down there thinking it might be nice. I was wrong. It was amazing. We were greeted at the door like we were family. We had to follow Covid safety protocol but once we were set up it was a fun experience. Rich got some beautiful shots and we were able to view them within the hour.
Though we were able to see them fast, it was definitely not rushed. Maryanne set us up in the viewing room and we ended up picking a gorgeous bunch of shots that we'll be able to enjoy for many years. We were even able to set up a payment plan so we could spread out the cost. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to make memories that will last forever.

Rich and Marrie are such great people to meet. They will make you feel right at home. Both locations are great for getting portraits done and the landscaping in absolutely beautiful for out door pictures.

This was our first family portrait, and we couldn't be happier. Their prices are really high, but they work with you any way they can to ensure your happy before leaving. Just knowing our family memories will be handed down generation after generation is good for me. Great business.

Breshears Photograghy is amazing! They listen to exactly what you want and need and exceed your expectations! We have always had to tell our daughters with previous photographers to smile, say cheese and worry if we were getting some good smiles! Rich was able to entertain us all! He is amazing with the whole family and amazing with children with special needs! Our youngest has Down syndrome and she takes a little more persuading to get to smile and Rich did an amazing job and not once did we have to tell her to say cheese! Also, MaryAnn made choosing our favorite photos and prints we wanted a breeze and so enjoyable! Definitely would recommend Breshears Photography 100%! Thank you so much for the beautiful photos we will cherish forever!
