Best Commercial Photographer Lansing Near Me

Andrea Zheng: Heather was freaking amazing on our wedding day!!! We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was able to quickly get large groups of family members to take pictures even with the language barrier. (Some of our older family members mostly speak a different language.) My husband and I are both generally very awkward in front of the camera but her energy was so contagious that she made us laugh and feel at ease throughout the day. Allie also helped us create a day of timeline and she made a super organized list of our shot requests and notes for Heather. Overall, we are very happy that we chose Allie Siarto & Co. for our wedding!!!

Yasmine Alsadi: Allie was amazing! She took my grad photos and was so sweet and kind. The photos turned out way better than expected!! Highly HIGHLY recommend! And she is great at responding to any questions or concerns and is very flexible.

Devon Sinclair: Allie and Heather were AMAZING!!! Our wedding pictures are amazing! They know what their doing!! Amazing natural looking pictures! When I tell you Heather is THE hype woman all brides need on their special day. I can say enough good things about these women!

Jess C: I had grad photos taken by Allie on MSU's campus. She was more than wonderful and made me feel really comfortable. We stopped by all the Spartan hot spots, and there were a ton of pictures taken in the short hour. 100% would recommend

Jill Mazzola: Allie was wonderful. The process for scheduling my headshots was so easy and she got me in and out quickly even though I needed multiple outfits and backgrounds. I am extremely happy with the final results. I will definitely come to Allie again when I need additional photography.

Christopher Copeland: Our daughter chose Allie for her wedding photographer after she found her web site with sample photos. We never expected that our family's special day would be portfolio-worthy - but our pictures were just as good as the ones we saw online. Allie was super responsive from the day we met until we received our final photos (which was very soon after the order).On the day of the wedding, Allie kept the shoot running smoothly and moved around to take the best advantage of the lovely venue. It was as if we had hired two photographers. After the ceremony she asked if she could take the wedding party outside for some creative shots on a snowy day. I said, "Go for it - do what you think will make the day special for the bride." The results were stunning. Large group pictures, including the shots with small children, also came out great.We were so pleased with the pictures that we splurged on prints. The archival framed photos that Allie offers are worth the price - not the same product as you can get from a regular online printing service. She spent some extra TLC on retouching and cropping, and it showed. If my budget had allowed, I would gladly have purchased a custom photo book with her design and layout services included.You won't be disappointed if you choose Allie for your own special day. Let her advise you on what will look best, and trust her judgment. Your own pictures will look just as good as what you see on her website. I can't thank Allie enough for what she did for our family. If we have another occasion like this one, we'll be calling her again.

Maddie Hicks: Allie is nothing short of amazing. She put my fiancé and I at complete ease while she took our engagement photos in East Lansing. We were a little nervous, but all of that melted away when Allie started our session. Allie leads you in an interactive way, and nothing looks or feels staged. We are so in love with the final product, (her turnaround time is incredible!), and we can't wait to order framed prints. Book Allie for your photography needs! It's the best decision you'll ever make.

Joe Pappas: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI cannot express how thankful I am that Allie was the photographer who took our engagement photos. Having pictures taken isn’t always the easiest thing for myself, but Allie made it feel so natural. Thank you Allie for the wonderful experience!

E. L.: My boyfriend and I have been dating for five years but barely have any pictures together since we are both pretty awkward in front of a camera. Upon graduation, we decided to record this special moment and chose Allie as our photographer after research. This is one of the best decisions we have ever made, and we will never regret it. Allie is professional, kind, efficient, and full of encouragement. Her prompts make you smile, and she fully captures that happiness in her pictures. We appreciate her with our whole hearts!!

Rachel: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAllie is absolutely amazing! You couldn’t ask for a better photographer. She is so knowledgeable and efficient and I got my photos back in record time!

Just moved to the area, and now hoping we can have regular family photo updates with her over the upcoming years! Thank you Allie!

Elizabeth Allen: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAllie achieved the impossible (for the second time!): she not only perfectly captured the spirit of my two and four year olds, but she got smiles too! In only a half hour photo shoot , we received over 100 beautiful and perfect photos. Some staged and smiling, some playing, and some perfectly candid. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Natalie Wilk: Allie was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, worked well with our dogs during the photo shoot, and got our images back to us after only 3 days. Would highly recommend!

Trish Dyal: Allie is Amazing! I must admit that I was nervous working with a photographer that I hadn’t met before. Allie made me feel at ease, was so flexible (photo shoot location had to change 3x from the original choice due to covid etc.,), and the pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!!!! I have received so many compliments on them. Thank you, Allie! Your prices and quality. They are both excellent. I would definitely recommend Allie to anyone, and will keep her in mind for other special events!

Madison Allen: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessAllie is an amazing photographer! She did a fantastic job with my college graduation photos.

ARCO Construction: Ian is great to work with and extremely reliable! He has shot many of our construction projects, and always produces high quality photos and video with a fast turn-around time. His attention to detail and flexibility makes him a go-to for both our in-progress and project completion content needs.

Alex Gross: Ian has been absolutely fantastic to work with - flexible when needed, responsive, and, most importantly the photos always turn out great. We have used him for over 15 units in Lansing and Ann Arbor, and will continue to bring him in at every opportunity.

Benjamin Diana: I was disappointed with his work. But he probably puts considerably more effort into sessions with models who look like this new advertisement- consider that this was not the signage when I chose his studio. His prices are low, but as the cliche reads, 'you'll get what you pay for .' Unless you're one of those folks, I would not indulge his political bait.

Andy Jeglic: Steve is extremely talented and accommodating. He's managed to excellently capture our family, including two large dogs and an uncooperative cat. He does great work.

John Chase: Steve is a very funny and talented photographer, and he made me laugh a bunch of times to get the best look for my pics....Very helpful at getting me to relax so I could have the best photo movement..Gorgeous studio..a hidden gem!I'll be booking another shoot within the next week...THANK YOU STEVE

Stacey Duncan-Jackson: Had a combined photo shoot (professional head shot and family photos). They are fantastic, and I have already been asked about who did the head shot by 3 people. Highly recommend!

Dong Feng: Steve does great work, fast service and reasonable price. Best place in town If you're in the need for photography. Highly recommend.

Brian Backhaus: Great photography from a great photographer.

Samantha Myers: Mr. Dean did wedding photos for myself and senior photos for my husband years before that. He does an amazing job, works hard just in preparation for the photoshoot going to the sight, if outdoors, multiple days in a row before, just to ensure the lighting will be ok for the photos. He makes amazing albums and gives good rates for his sessions and edits them while enhancing features but not taking from the actual person. My family has gone to Mr. Dean for all needs for professional photography and are looking forward to continuing business with him for a very long time.

Sara Lynne Thelen: We greatly appreciated his professionalism and the quality of his work.

Abby Rivera: Had my Senior pics done here, came out fine.

Marjorie Slocum: Great photographer! Really an artist! If you need photos taken, use Steve Dean Photography. You won't find his level of talent or professionalism anywhere else!

Michele Nations: I was extremely happy with the photos that I had restored. They were absolutely beautiful. I would recommend this company and I will definitely use them again

Savita Dhanak: I purchased a print of one of Joe’s beautiful photographs because I recently moved to California and missed Michigan’s landscape. Joe’s photograph captured it perfectly. From purchasing to receiving the print there was clear and quick communication which made the process stress free. Highly recommend his service.

Emily Nolan: Very quick turnaround time and the restored details added a lot to the blueprints I had restored. Very pleased.

Krista Robert: Joe always does an amazing job!!

Andy Ladwig: Joe did a Fantastic job converting my slides to digital. They just came to life and we’re 60yrs old! Turn around time was quicker than expected - I’d recommend this company and I traveled 45 miles to do so!

Roy Saper: Has been very helpful in assisting us with scans and prints needed in one day. Professional, reliable, dedicated, prompt.

Makayla Smith: Great photo quality! Appreciated the prompt communication and quick turn around time!

Mary Jo Lott: Joe's work is outstanding. His attention to the smallest detail in the photo made the end product better than I expected. I highly recommend him for your photo restoration project.

Ruth Beier: I had two old photos that suddenly meant more to me than before, given the failing health of two family members. The pictures were faded and one had a fold in it. Joseph restored them beautifully and made copies that my siblings will treasure forever. The price was very reasonable. Quick turn-around.

Mark Tallis: I have used Light & Shadows for over 10 years and Joe has never let me down with his effort. I can not say enough about the work he has done for my family. I would never use anyone else.

Jack Dean: Joe restored several old photos for my family. He did a fantastic job! I will be using his services for other old photos to preserve. I would highly recommend him based on what he was able to do with our picture.

Marie Nichols: Joe did a great job restoring some pictures for me. He was nice to work with and the turn around time was awesome!

Robert-Terri Shupp: I am so pleased with the final product of my restored photos. One of them (one of only a handful of baby pictures I have) was ripped in half and a little wrinkly, and it turned out great!! Thank you!!

Aaron Thornton: Another fine add to my wall! Thanks again Light and Shadows Photography.

Robert Trout: Joe is great to work with and did exceptional restorations to two pictures. The prices seemed quite reasonable.

Nancy Petroff: Joe restored a very old photo of our 1890's home. He did a fantastic job! I will be looking through my other photos to see if there are others I can give him to restore. I would highly recommend him based on what he was able to do with our picture.

Lorraine Cook: Joseph restored a 16x20 heritage farm photo for us that had significantly faded. There was even a corner that was damaged when I removed it from the glass and you would never know it had been damaged. ( by the way he told me I would not have had to remove it from the glass) our sons were ecstatic about getting this beautiful restoration of their grandfathers farm. Joseph was so professional and completed the restoration very quickly. I highly recommend his services.

Ashley Shade: Excellent work in scanning my large format 12 x 12 inch scrap books - the images are sharp and I feel great knowing that my memories from multimedia pages- including photos, notes, coins, and other trip mementos - are preserved digitally! Great service! Thanks Joe!

Dean Anderson: In March 2022, I asked Joe Yarbrough (Light & Shadows Photography) to scan some slides and negatives for me to create digital images. He did the scans in a very timely fashion for a very reasonable price, and I was pleased with the results. I recommend Joe’s work and I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.

Ann Liming: Over the past few years, I have been researching the family trees of both of my parents. Matching old photos of people to names has brought my ancestors to life. Many of the photos had become damaged, faded, or discolored so I asked Joseph Yarbrough to restore them. Joe has worked with me to meet my expectations. He often sees details in a photo that I have missed which provides historical perspective to the time that the photo was taken. His knowledge of photographic studios and developing techniques at the time adds a richness to the stories of my families. His skill in restoring, formatting, and developing old photos, at times from old negatives, has been more than I anticipated and has led to excitement on my part. I appreciate his expert work and enjoy working with him.

Lany Markovich: such an amazing experience! steven is such a kind soul and he taught us so much about the photos he takes and about so many other things! will definitely book here again!

Kathryn Haengel: Steven did some tintypes for maternity and family photos. He was great to work with!

E H: Had an absolutely wonderful time with our Tin Type Session. My husband and I got a tin type portrait for our 3rd wedding anniversary and couldn't have been happier with our photos and the experience! Steven is so kind and patient and incredibly knowledgeable, seeing each step in creating a tin type photo was so interesting! I'm sure we'll be back again in the future!

Nik Basford: We got our tin type taken with Steven and we had an awesome time doing it! He walked us through the whole process and explained how everything works with this type of picture. Would recommend 10/10 that you get tin types taken with Steven. We can't wait to get another taken in the future!

Zephina Media: We had an awesome experience at our photo shoot with Steven. He is very knowledgeable about tin type photography and has a great eye for getting just the right shot. We are already planning our next visit!

Sally Hecksel: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessStephen is such a great person to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains the mechanics of his tintype process step by step. It’s so cool to work with someone as passionate about what they do as him. If you’re considering it, just go for it because tintypes are unique and timeless.

Svitlana M: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueSteven's tintype photography is incredible. By using old techniques you are able to experience preparation and development of the film that captures your moment, from start to finish. You are there for the entire experience and there is not a more interesting way to experience photography.

Dale Boettcher: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI’ve had two portraits taken with Steven on tintype and the experiences were both really great. The portraits we took was of me and my older dog and Steven was both patient and considerate as we tried to make her comfortable. I’m absolutely thrilled with the tintype and Steven is a blast to work with.

Tyler Crosthwaite: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueWas just in the studio with Steven a few days ago and if you're looking for an authentic experience in a chilled out, professional environment, then you’re in the right place.

Dylan Rogers: I've done a couple of tintype photo shoots with Steven, most recently a session with my partner. Glynn's approach is easygoing and friendly, which made us feel at ease in his studio. I particularly appreciated his eagerness to share the process, from creating the plates to developing the photo in his darkroom. His methods result in photographs that are drenched in detail and texture- timeless works of art. After a session, you walk away with you new favorite photo.It's not surprising that Glynn's talent has attracted so many of Michigan's best musicians and artists. You can check out some of this work on his website, or in galleries around Lansing. Lastly, the studio is in a cool neighborhood with lots of nearby amenities, so you can make an afternoon of it if you come by for a session.

Robyn Hughey: Steven is an amazing photographer who has taken the most incredible photos of my family. We have used him three times for family photos now, and each session turned out beautifully. He is flexible, kind and easy to work with. During our last family session, he took the most wonderful photos of my 19 month old son, who was not cooperating in the slightest! I couldn't believe how gorgeous the pictures turned out when he sent them to me. Thank you for your work, Steven! We look forward to working with you in the future.
