SunWest Studio

What a fabulous experience! I had to get some head shots for work and am SO glad I found SunWest and Mick! I had so much fun! Mick is amazing … Talented and professional! My pictures turned out spectacular! I could not be happier!!!

We just had our daughter’s senior portraits done at SunWest and we were extremely impressed with the quality, the artistic touch, professionalism and especially the incredible customer service. Very fair pricing for top quality photography, state of the art selection process and all with a hometown feel. I would definitely recommend this studio.

Sun West Photography Studio has done all 3 of our children’s senior pictures.(my baby is a senior) they now have a great app that the kids can share the pictures via social media. The photographers there (Mick in particular) has captured our children’s inner Beauty as well as their outer. Our son who is severely Autistic was captured in some beautiful moments.
I have enjoyed working with Sandy for many years putting those moments on record for our life time. I love the books we have made with all our memories. I have done many professional business pictures too.
We just did our wedding family portrait in studio. We can’t wait to get it on the wall.
It’s nice to have a local business that has been here for years doing a fantastic job.

We did engagement photos at SunWest. I wasn’t extremely excited because I’m not the most photogenic. But the crew at SunWest made it really fun. They’re very patient and, most importantly, they work with you to get that perfect photo.
These guys are thorough and professional. We shot at the studio, downtown main street, courthouse, and at the pumpkin patch. So we got plenty of pictures.
Seeing some of these negative comments makes me angry. You get what you pay for and, in this case, its true professionalism and amazing photos. You won’t find this kind of quality at sears.

Sun West is by far the best professional photography studio I have ever been to. I bought my dog in for a portrait. Mick Kaufman, the owner, created magnificent portraits. They were all terrific, making it very difficult to pick the ones I wanted. He knew just how to get my dog to sit still and he knew how to get her attention to look at the camera and «pose.»
The studio is very impressive. His lighting, camera and computer equipment is all state of the art and he is very tallented in theri appication. He and his frinedly, tallented staff are a pleasure to deal with.
My session with my dog was last week and I am scheduled to return next week for them to photograph my grandchildrren (and their dog).

SunWest is amazing! I went to them for my senior portraits in high school, they just did my engagement shoot, and I’ve booked them for my wedding! They are the best photographers I have ever worked with– they made me feel and look like a supermodel! Everyone is very nice, very professional, and the photos are incredible!

This place is the absolute worse photo studio I have ever been too. My wife and myself received a gift card for a photo shoot from a relative. We booked out appt. (which was canceled and moved to a later date after booking) and when we got there, the photographer rushed threw the shoot. When we went back to look at the photos, we where put in a room, and the sales lady (photographers wife) came and showed us a quick slide show of the photos. Right after we briefly looked threw them, and my wife stated she did not like most of them, the sales lady started to talk about prices. The starting for five photos was 300 bucks. Wow… We asked to see them again, and she left the room telling us she will give us time to talk. She dimmed the lights and put on some cheap music. My wife and I talked and my wife said she was gonna ask her mother. Not even 60 seconds after my wife started to text her mom, the sales woman burst in the room and started to yell «your trying to steal our pictures!» I asked her what she was talking about, and she screamed «I saw you on the camera trying to steal our photos!» (They have cameras watching everywhere) I said your mistaken, and my wife is texting her mother, and she replied «that’s bullshit, your stealing. Buy the photos or leave» I asked her about a refund or retaking the photos, and she said «no. Buy or leave». So we left. She called us several times asking when we where gonna come pay for the photos and what we owed (the gift card covered the shoot completely) finally we had to tell her to stop calling or we would go the legal route for harassment. Don’t waste your money here!

This is our second time with SunWest Studio for senior pictures. Once again we were not disappointed. There was not a photo we didn’t like. The staff is friendly, and it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. Thank You SunWest for taking beautiful photos that our family will treasure forever!

I recently had my senior photos done here and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The photographer and assistants were friendly, fun, and very open minded. We took lots of photos and definitely had a good time with it. After just a week or two, I set up my appointment to view my pictures. They came out AMAZING. They know what they’re doing. I even had to indulge in a fine metal print for my home! I’m so pleased that I was recommended to Sun West Studio and will continue to pass that on to anyone interested!

Mike S. Was lucky. He walked away. Our child is so busy that we did not think we would have time to find another studio. We got suckered.
And, to top it off, we ordered a framed piece and this cheap studio gave it to us without glass.
We could afford the prices but hated to give them our business. Feel very sorry for those parents who really can’t afford it but felt guilty so buy anyway. Shame on you Sunwest.

Raw art

Talk about being taken advantage of!
My son has his senior photos done here as it was one of the studios listed on the sheet the school provided and was closest to us.
On the day of the shoot everything went well. The staff was nice and they had great set ups and «scenes» and my son had a good time taking the photos.
I asked the price ranges and was told «oh, we’ll discuss all that once we show you the pictures».
When we went back to the studio to view the shots we were seated in a nice viewing room, the lights were dimmed, the music was on and the trap was set!
After viewing my child in beautiful photographs and with tears in my eyes I await the return of the sales lady to discuss prices.
She casually presents me the price card and it starts, yes STARTS, at $ 250 for 1 pose. I nearly crapped myself.
The prices quickly soared to well over $ 1,000 if you wanted the 10 poses they «recommend» you select.
Needless to say I was shocked. I asked what the price would be to get the images on a DVD figuring I can print what I want and what sizes I want. Well they will only give you the DVD IF, yes IF, you buy at least $ 1,000 package.
The sales lady kept trying to pressure use to make a decision that day because it was likely they would delete all the photos soon to make room for others. I can’t tell you how many times I heard «let’s make a choice now so we don’t loose the images.
We left the studio very upset and saddened. While the photographer did a great job of capturing my son in beautiful shots the prices are just unbelieveable and after talking to other parents they told us of their hard sell horror stories.
Sadly we won’t get to enjoy our son’s photos and I warn you now — if you use this studio be prepared for.
1. nice photos
2. high pressure sales
3. unREAL prices
