Dear Ski and Michelle,

 

We are so pleased with the portraits you took of our family!  We also appreciate how fun you made our session.  We still can't believe you were able to capture a smile from our rebellious toddler.  ha ha.  As busy professionals, we just don't have time to go to a studio for family portraits.  It was incredibly convenient to have Photography By Ski come to us on a Sunday, of all days, for our session.  We have never gotten our portraits back, so quickly, and what a nice surprise that you personally delivered the portraits to our home...again on a weekend.  What great service! 

 

It's obvious you love what you do!  Our pictures are displayed with pride in our home, and we don't hesitate to tell everyone who took them.  By the way, thanks for the personalized business cards with our son on them... nice touch.  We're looking forward to working with you again in the future.  We wish you the best in your business.

We wanted to let you know that we really appreciated all of your hard work. We love our portraits and would be delighted to refer you to anybody in search of a great photographer! Copies of our large portraits have been displayed in our living room and we get many compliments on the photography. I appreciated all the time you took to help make your work the best possible. You captured so many wonderful expressions and images that we had many great choices to select from. It is obvious that you have a strong love for what you do and it shows in your work. You interacted well with our daughter and put her at ease quickly. The entire family felt so comfortable with you and we were very happy with your service! Your fun and easy-going personality added so much to our experience. We will definitely be returning for more family portraits in the future.

Ski & Michelle are extremely professional.  From the quality of their work to their flexibility to shoot “on location” you won’t find a more competitively priced photographer in Houston.  Additionally, Ski’s creativity to work with our family (3 kids under the age of 8) allowed us to create a photograph, which included our 19 month old son that we couldn’t have gotten otherwise.  Ski was able to take a solo photo of him and “morph” it into our family portrait.  The newly created photo looks like an original (you’d never know any different).  For families with very young children who can’t stay composed for the duration of your photo-shoot, Ski is your answer.  Oh, and did we mention that he hand delivered our packages to our home…Do yourself a favor and hire Ski for your next photography requirement.

Dear Ski and Michelle,

 

We just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our portraits and your service.  The fact that you came to our home three times (for the portrait session, to have us choose a frame and to deliver our final order) was fantastic because we didn’t have to drive anywhere.  It seems that no one makes house calls anymore…but Photography By Ski does!  It was also very convenient that you offer weekend portrait sessions as well…which fit into our schedule wonderfully.

 

The 24” by 30” framed canvas wall portrait of us in our wedding outfits is simply stunning!  It is so obvious that you really care about your clients because Michelle took care of the little things in not only the wall portrait but in the other images as well.

 

Thank you again for a truly wonderful experience!  We will recommend you to our friends and family.  Keep up the great work!

 

Sincerely,

William and Maria Gresham

Dear Ski...

 

I want to thank you and Michelle for a wonderful job!  We are very pleased with our portraits.

 

You not only worked with our crazy holiday schedule, but made all of us at ease- even our dog Pagos!

 

We appreciate you making the images available promptly to meet our needs.

 

You both are great and we will definitely recommend you to our friends.

 

Thank you,

We were extremely pleased with our Christmas pictures from Photography by Ski.  The images were lovely and the touch ups added to give a final polish to the pictures was outstanding. We value these lovely photos of our three daughters and will use Ski again for our next family picture.

Dear Ski & Michelle,

 

Thank you for documenting and photographing the 2009 Choose Construction Career Exp at the Pasadena Convention Center.

 

The quality of the photographs is truly amazing and it is wonderful to have such an assortment of images to share with others from this one of a kind industry event.

 

All too often we think we will have time or that someone can take photos during the event who lacks the knowledge, skills and abilities you two have.  From the first picture to the last, I was amazed by the beauty and detail that your photographs were able to capture.

 

Your attention to detail and ability to show the excitement in photos is truly exceptional.  This was my second year to chair this event.  When you have over 200 volunteers, close to 500 students, 100 plus high school instructors, and administrators the last thing you are thinking about is capturing the moment.  It is great to sit back, admire your work and relive the day by viewing the beautiful photographs you captured!  It is like standing still in time.  I am so proud of the event and the photos truly capture it all.

 

I also wanted to thank you for your punctuality.  I know if had to be tough to journey such a distance to arrive so early.  We truly appreciate your dedication and your service and look forward to working with you for years to come.

 

I will definitely be referring my friends and colleagues to you as time goes on.

 

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words and we do not remember days, we remember moments!

 

Thanks to you both, I can reflect and smile while reliving the numerous moments, laughs and smiles from a wonderful industrial “choose construction” hands-on event that will now last a lifetime!

 

Take care and keep it safe!

 

Sincerely,

Dear Ski,

 

I am thrilled with the photos you took! 

 

As a busy entertainer, it was such an advantage having the shots taken "on location" and the results were spectacular! 

 

I especially appreciated that you were able to work around my travel schedule, and touching up the photos to make them look "perfect" allowed me to use them immediately on my web site, brochures, posters and products!

 

It has been years since I last updated my promotional shots -- thanks for a job well done!  You do quality work and I recommend you highly to anyone -- especially those who don't think they have the time to get great photos done!

 

Thanks for making me look so good!

I highly recommend Ski for both professional and personal photography sessions. Ski gave a presentation at the February 2010 meeting of Executive Forum which was very informative and right on queue regarding how to prepare for a Professional Head Shot. We were also able to view photos from his portfolio which were shot on location instead of in a studio.

Thank you so much for helping us get our beautiful family portrait.  Your patience is unbelievable.  Even our dog, Fancy, took great pictures.  We are definitely going to use you ever year for our portraits.  Again, Thanks a million.

Dear Ski and Michelle, 

 

Like many people, we enjoy taking photos to capture special moments among family and friends.  Recently, however, we had a need for a professional portrait for my husband and new passport photos for both of us.  Moreover, it had been a number of years since we had had a family portrait made.  

 

A creative team, Ski and Michelle made the session simple and efficient but also relaxed – and it showed in our results.  We are pleased to offer ‘ two thumbs up’  for their work personally and professionally.

Dear Ski and Michelle,

 

On behalf Alief Independent School District, I would personally thank you so much for volunteering to take the photographs at the Alief Independent School District Appreciation Business Partners Breakfast. The photographs were absolutely beautiful! We sat together as a team and viewed the CD, everyone commented on how blessed we were to have you as a business partner.  We had over 300 guess in attendance this year, your participation at the event help

demonstrate to the other business partners of your dedication and support to Alief ISD.  I am appreciative of your assistance and support.

Dear Ski,

 

Thank you so much for coming and speaking to our students on Career Day.  I know the students gained some useful information about your career as a photographer.  Your willingness to volunteer your time to come and speak is greatly appreciated.  I hope you have a great summer.

Ski and Michelle,

 

(My pictures) look great. Thank you so much for the gift. This is a really special door prize. Too bad more people don't take advantage of it.  By the way, my husband loved them. He liked the one where I'm really smiling. He said, "Wow!! That's the best picture I've ever seen of you!" Thank you again.

Dear Ski and Michelle…

 

I want to thank you for such a great job!  You went above the call of duty in my opinion.  When I made several requests in terms of retouching my image, you didn’t mind at all.  I can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work at making my image look stunning.  I also appreciated the personal delivery of my order by the two of you.  I can tell that you really care about your clients!  Keep up the good work and don’t change your work ethic.  I will be contacting you in the future to photograph my dog.

Ski…thank you for volunteering to be the Houston chapter photographer for the Glazer-Kennedy Insider’s Circle.  Special thanks for coming to the August meeting early to take headshots of our members to be used on our chapter web site.  Everyone I spoke with was happy with the headshots.  Your professional attitude and attention to detail was most appreciated.

Dear Ski and Michelle -

 

Thank you for the fast appointment and great photo you took of me. You made me feel at ease through the entire experience. You accommodated my busy schedule and had the digital picture ready for me before I even made it back to my house.  Michelle did a great job "touching up" my picture while I watched.  Her patience in choosing just the right final picture was infinite.  I will definitely recommend you to my friends and colleagues. I really like your information in your newsletters.  Very informative! Thank you again for the great photo!!!

Hi, Ski…

 

Many thanks for my professional headshot, Ski! You've captured my smile and personality perfectly and I am thrilled with the service and quality.  Not only are the end results impressive, I actually had fun while having my portrait taken.

 

The team at Photography By Ski is fantastic - a joy to deal with, and totally efficient and professional… I would recommend you to anyone. Your professional manner and willingness to go that extra mile was refreshing.  I will not hesitate to use you again.

I hired Photography By Ski to update my headshot for my business card and he came to my office for the session.  It was a truly great experience. As a realtor, time is very hard to come by and Ski made it very convenient for me.  I was very happy with the final images and I’d recommend Photography By Ski to anyone looking for a completely unique experience as well as beautiful, personalized portraits.

I had my photograph taken by Photography By Ski.  He was on time, ready for me and my dog, and he was professional.  Having a dog in the picture is not easy, but the session went fast with good results.  Everything went well and the pictures turned out great.

Thank you for two of the best portraits we have ever had taken.  Your slogan "We're the portrait photographer that caters to busy people" is so true.  With John and I both full-time working seniors, trying to find the time to sit down and have a portrait taken was not easy.  You not only catered to our schedule but made it enjoyable and easy.  The portrait tells the story.  We were having a good time.  Thank you again so much.  We will treasure these portraits forever.

Dear Ski –

 

I want to thank you and Michelle for the success of my recent photo shot.  As a professional speaker and trainer, I had some very specific poses in mind and you were very patient with my requests. Thank you so much for allowing me to test four outfits to get the right “image” I was looking for. Your digital ability allowed us to make quick decisions on what worked and what did not. I look forward to using my special background-neutral shots thanks to Michelle’s editing talents.  Between your creativity and Michelle’s eye for detail we will have some great action shots to update my website and marketing material.  My colleagues will be jealous and I will definitely share with them that my great shots where taken at Photograph by Ski.

 

Blessings to you,

It was a pleasure to work with Ski, and we are very satisfied with our portraits! He came to our home and worked with us to arrange just the right background.  He was concerned with each person's expression, as well as the overall composition of the group portrait.  (It's hard to get a whole group of folks looking good at the same time!)  His patience as a photographer and his ability to make clients relax and enjoy the session are real assets.  We will not hesitate to use Ski again, or to recommend him to friends and business associates.

Dear Ski,

 

Thank you very much for the wonderful job you did photographing the Arbor children!  Your patience, compassion and artistic ability shined through in the fabulous photos of our special children.  The Arbor parents loved the pictures and especially liked the opportunity to view the photos online.  I appreciate your professionalism and efficient work practices.  It was a pleasure to work with you, and I look forward to having you photograph the Arbor students again next year.

 

Thank you again, Ski for a job well done.

Thank you, Ski, for the help and guidance in my recent professional photo session.  Thanks to your guiding hand, I will use the photos as I update my website and business development effort.  We are very grateful in making the photos available so quickly and offering a variety of selections.

 

With such professionalism, it is very easy to recommend you and your outstanding service to others.

 

Best personal regards,

I recently had a head and shoulder portrait taken for my business cards. The experience was both pleasant

and professional. Ski is fully equipped and experienced enough to handle any and all types of photography

needs. Thanks again for the touch up work!!

Before we made our final decision, (Photography By Ski was) one of the top 2.  #1 because of your customer service.  My fiancé and I are big customer service buffs and after talking with several photographers only a few were as courteous as you are and very few followed up with us.  For that reason mainly, we kept you (and will continue to keep you) in mind.  You seem to be a very good person to work with and I love the fact that you named your packages after your daughters.  To us, that said a lot about how you feel about families, which is the type of person that should be around on such a special day.  I do wish you luck with your love of photography and no matter how big you get, don't change your personality!!!
