Paul Manoian Photography

My daughter was nervous she wasn't going to like any of the photos but boy was she wrong! She absolutely loves them! We had a great time on the shoot! This was the first time she was professionally photographed and this was a wonderful experience! We are going to have a hard time picking just a few! Thanks Paul so much.

Paul did a wonderful job capturing my son's senior portraits. He was very flexible with location and timing, and he captured the perfect shots! Both the posed and the natural (sports/action) shots are great. Thanks to Paul, we have memories to last a lifetime!

Senior Photos & Head Shot: We found Paul Manoian online and after viewing his website and reviews, booked a session with him. His genuine concern for my daughter's vision of what she wanted in her photo session: environment for the session, type of backgrounds, type of photos (including a headshot for her college auditions), was remarkable. His suggestions during the session and his willingness to try different shots to capture her ideas proved to us his professionalism and talent as a photographer. We are both absolutely thrilled at the photos from her session, and have recommended Paul many times this year when asked about a photographer.

Paul did my son's Senior Photos. The actual shots are wonderful, but there were some issues. It rained on the day of the outdoor shoot, so we lost about an hour of the 3 I paid for because he did not have any protective covering for his equipment and it couldn't get wet. The rain was in the forecast, and we should have really have been rescheduled or given an additional hour at another time as that is what I paid for. The cost vs quality of the actual photos are high. I paid $90.00 for a 4 x 6 15 photo brag book. The brag book came spiral bound ( think lined paper note book binding) on less than quality textured paper. The texture of the paper in the book distorts the photos and the photos are about 3 x 5 not the full 4 x 6. Total waste of money. Shutter Stock has way better glued bound photo books way nicer than this but he charges $40.00 to get the digital rights for just one picture. The brag book also came with the first page being an advertisement for his studio and it also had (3) referral coupons in it for $25.00 photo credit if you refer someone who uses him. Problem is that he only hosts your photos on his site for 3 months ( more or less depending on the package you order for the photo shoot) . By the time I received my ordered pictures, my photos are no longer up and I'd have to pay to have them re-uploaded, so the credits do me no good. I did rip out of the book his advertisement and the coupons and threw them away. I find that completely cheesy. If you want to give printed coupons, put them separate in the box, not in my photo book. The Lux Paper is the photo mounted on foam core. Definitely not worth the extra $50.00 ( depending on the size, mine was 11 x 14) in my opinion. The wallets come 8 on a sheet and you have to punch them out yourself. They do not come pre-cut out. The regular photos ( 5 x 7, 8 x 10 etc) are of normal quality and were what was expected for the cost. ( $15.00 for a 5 x 7) So I give a 5 star for the actual shots, but a 1 star for the quality and cost of the prints. Average of 3 stars. If you use him, I highly suggest just ordering 4 x 6 of your favorites instead of the brag book it will cost a bit more but the book is terrible, Honestly, CVS has better brag books and not to order the Lux photos as you can mount the regular photos on foam core yourself if you really want it mounted or spend the $40.00 get the digital rights and have Shutter Stock do it for way cheaper. I left him a good review on his actual website but should have waited until I received the actual photos as I don't see how to change my review on his site.
