UPDATE 2/15/23: I dropped my rating from 5 stars to two and here is why: I feel cheated and scammed and I am very disappointed after having my zoom session to view the unedited photos. The photos came out great. However.. the packages offered are NOT what I had in mind. There are no prices listed on the website. They only explain that packages start at $200 and up and that having your paintings turned into portraits would be very high in price. They tell you that you get a “free” 8x10 photo included in the $25/per person pictured. I paid $50 for my daughter and I. The Zoom meeting started with the host showing me a slide show with music of all of the pictures taken. Adorable. I loved it. Now remember! These pictures are NOT edited yet. She then goes on to share the 4 packages offered. The cheapest package was over $2500!!!! ANDD THEN proceeds to tell me that I WILL NOT get my “free” 8x10 UNTIL I choose a package!!!! If I was aware of any of this, I never would’ve scheduled a photoshoot. This was my first mommy and me shoot and my daughters first photo shoot ever. Being highly disappointed doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this outcome. They also only edit the photos after you pay.. so you really don’t even know if you’re going to like the edits and for that amount of money it’s disrespectful to the consumer. I understand this is a business, but misleading marketing is not respectable. I was hoping to have more options for a lot less money and when I explained that, I was told those were the only options I had. I wanted these pictures so badly. I looked forward to having something so special and fun for my little girl. This experience was suppose to help us get through some dark days we’ve been progressing through and my expectations of it all were too high. I will say the photographer and the host I spoke with on Zoom were both very nice. However, this business and it’s mislead marketing, and hope crushing abilities for something that should really be very special is absurd. I will definitely be warning anyone I know that is interested in these sessions. And to “Enchanted Fairys” whoever runs this scam: A word of advice, put your prices on your website. Include your contact information. And if you’re going to advertise, advertise to your selected audience which is to the higher of social classes, the people who have that kind of money just laying around. Taking out a “loan” for family PHOTOS!! is absolutely wild to me. I have wasted my time, my child’s time, a day I will never get back, along with $50 I had no business spending. I got absolutely nothing out of this experience except for loss. So if you have that kind of money, sure its a good experience.
—————————————————————————— 2/4/23 It was a very nice experience. Our photographer was great! She was very patient with my 1 year old and extremely helpful. The dresses, headpieces and set are gorgeous. The shop was very clean. Great atmosphere. I can’t wait to see the edited pictures! I...
Read moreI had an amazing experience at Enchanted Fairies Bellingham ❤️ I brought my 1-year-old and initially had some concerns because most of the pictures I saw on the enchanted fairies site were of older children and also because my daughter is a major covid baby... she has not started daycare yet and has been at home with me since birth. She tends to freak out and cry at all new people she meets, especially in unknown/new environments and situations. Sure enough, when we got there, as soon as the photographer came to help me tie up her dress she started freaking out. We brought her into the room where the photo set was and a complete meltdown ensued. Her eyes are all wet and red and she wouldn't stop crying to smile or even sit still for the camera. The photographer was so helpful and calm. She had Cocomelon playing on her phone and hid it skillfully in the props so that my daughter would look towards the props. She sat and played peek-a-boo with her, dangled toys for her, and tossed a ball back and forth. There was absolutely no signs of impatience or frustration on the photographer's part. I think she was more patient than I was! Sure enough, eventually she got my daughter smiling and calm and I believe we got some really nice shots. I don't know if another photographer would have been as patient. I was very pleased with the experience and I am so excited to see the result of the pictures in a couple weeks.... I am sure they are beautiful. Aside from the great experience with the photographer and customer service, the dress and flower crown were absolutely GORGEOUS and the set and everything down to the dressing room were just beautiful and magical and completely professional...we made an hour and a half drive to go out to this location and I don't regret it whatsoever. I would absolutely go back again in the future too. I very much recommend Enchanted Fairies...
Read moreOur experience was so unique due to the fact that we didn’t bring children to be photographed. I booked a mother and daughter session for my 81 year young mom and myself who just turned 61 a couple of days ago, as a way to document and celebrate our milestone ages together. Mom had a blast with our amazing photographer Jennifer. She was so efficient with her studio workflow while answering all our questions without skipping a beat. Jennifer has great work ethics and is a true photography professional whose work speaks for itself. I absolutely LOVED the entire experience!! I wore a blue ball gown (that I didn’t want to take off) and mom wore the pink ball gown. I want to say that this photoshoot experience may be marketed towards children but the senior citizen population would benefit greatly by Enchanting Fairies Photography Studio’s magical fairytale experience too as a great way to celebrate the Golden Years Milestones. Mom’s face was lit up like a child the entire time we were there! This made me so happy knowing that she was experiencing (perhaps) something she may not have had a chance to since was a child. This made me realize how important it is to keep in touch with the inner child in us all because it keeps you young at heart! I fell into character immediately and the entire session was over too soon. We left feeling content with big smiles on our faces and myself with a sense of “Ok, It’s back to reality and a different time zone now!” LOL!! In conclusion, we highly recommend Enchanting Fairytales Photography as Adult Tested for ALL (adult) ages and Mother...
