Root Studio

Worst photographers ever — been dealing with this company through my kids school for way too long. I have twins– we explain the pictures will be NEXT to each other on wall and they still manage to make one child extremely closer in their pics than the other, in some cases almost twice the head size … I swear they either are never trained or are all DRUNK!!! I won’t buy my kids seniors pics— no way is this company getting a dime from us! I will hire a REAL photographer to get pics– someone who actually wants to earn money!

My son’s school uses this place for senior pictures. They ask you to put down a deposit and a sitting fee but don’t tell you prices until you see the proofs. Prices are triple what I usually pay for school pictures. Had asked for a cap and gown picture and they did not take one, horrible to deal with. I am trying to get my money back because I refuse to pay $ 85 for a single picture. It does not appear that they follow directions or pay any attention to how you place your order. Never again!

I really wish that I could give a review without having to give a star…
My son’s school required us to use Root Studio in order for him to appear in his school yearbook for Senior year. My question is… WHY!!!
When I received the emailed proof sheet… It actually took me a minute to realize that I WAS LOOKING AT MY SON! The pictures look nothing like him… Well, perhaps if my son had eaten another child while waiting for his pictures to be taken!
Honestly, the pictures look like he weights 50 pounds more than he does! EVERY picture… Honestly, I take better shots at home with my own camera.
VERY disappointed!!!

My son’s school used Root Studio for Senior pictures for the first time this year. He said it was very unprofessional having his picture taken. The photographers were not much older than him. They couldn’t answer any of his questions or just said yes to everything.
The website is not very informative or helpful. It leads you to believe you have to pay a $ 50 sitting fee when it is only required for a proof book. Really? A proof book for a few head and shoulders shots. You have to do some digging to realize you don’t need to pay that fee.
You are forced to buy $ 85 worth of photos even if you don’t want them and we all know that what you pick out will most likely go well over the requirement as it did for me. And when asked the reason… that’s just how the company does it.
What a racket! Tell your school not to use Root Studios.

Kids, just say no to drugs and Root Studio. As a hobbyist photographer, I was astounded by the fact that not a single photographer here had a clue about the equipment they were using, what they were doing, and why.
The portrait session was a studio flash mob which could as well have been shot by a four year old with a point-​and-​shoot. I had been there once before, and the first visit wasn’t any better. The prices add insult to injury. to insult​.to more injury.
A few area schools require you to take senior portraits here. A business partnership at its worst. Run while you can.

Yearbook photography. Senior graduation picture taking experience was pleasant and efficient. Captured our daughter beautifully. Every image was usable. Far, but worth the drive.
