Diane Bartoo Photography

There were lots of delays in getting our photos. It wasn’t a professional set up.
Lady charges too much and works out of her garage.
The groupon was misleading
No way would I recommended her to any of my friends or family.
If you choose to do business with, good luck…

So this is the followup to my review from a couple of weeks ago… I saw Diane back then for my pregnancy photography session, and little did I know that I was only 2 days away from delivering! We came back yesterday for our newborn session, and if anything, she gave us even more attention then. We had a couple of outfits, a blanket, and a ruana that were important for us to include in the shots for sentimental reasons, and Diane accommodated us and gave us more beautiful photos. Especially with our ruana, the shots came out looking like works of art… I would say better than what is advertised on her website. I’m not sure what happened with the previous posters, but my experience was fantastic.
To those who are concerned about the expense: Diane is a professional photographer who is also an artist. You get what you pay for; if you want the very best for your baby, you will pay for it. If you want cheap photography, go to JCPenney or Photo People and get it. For the quality, her prices are remarkably reasonable, and I am VERY picky. I researched people in Los Angeles who charge 3 times what she does, and their quality wasn’t as good.
A tip: she does discounts if you refer a friend. Ask her ;-)

The I received a groupon deal as a gift for her service. She took pictures of my newborn and told me I would be able o choose one pose from the different poses/​outfits. She posted a sneak peak picture on facebook and when she told me my pictures were ready, She had chosen that pose for me as she sent them to the prints already! She said that was the only good picture she took! I wasn’t able to choose the pose like she told me. This lady just cares about money. And she’s a liar. I’ll never use her again or recommend her to anyone!

Amazing senior portraits! Great customer service.
