Testimonials

Melissa was wonderfully kind and patient with a great sense of fun throughout the entire process of getting some amazing headshots. We instantly connected on our love for the arts, and she immediately understood what I needed. I appreciated her quick and thorough feedback both during and after the session. I absolutely love the photos she created! She curates not only a great experience but also photographs that capture much more than a single moment.

"Melissa is so gifted at putting you at ease and helping you look your best. She also works quickly and had the portraits to me in record time!"

“When I needed a professional headshot for my 20I6 campaign, a friend referred me to Vakker Portraits. Melissa took a number of photos with varying backgrounds. At the end of the shoot, I was given the option of choosing several photos to keep. I'm beyond pleased with the results. To this day, people continuously compliment me on the headshot and ask the name of the photographer who captured such an amazing photo.”

Melissa is brilliant! She made the photoshoot a fun and relaxed experience for someone like me who does NOT like having their photo taken. Now I have a beautiful updated headshot for my LinkedIn profile. Thank you!

Thank you so much for meeting with us yesterday! You were so welcoming and mindful during the session, and I can confidently say that you helped everyone feel much more comfortable. We are very pleased with his photos (we went over them today) and I can’t wait to see the staff photos from yesterday. The raw images looked great, and we look forward to working with you in the future, as we onboard additional staff!

"Thus far I have used my new head shot as my profile photo on LinkedIn. I have received compliments on my head shot and on the overall appearance of my LinkedIn profile. This new image is truly the "cherry on top" for my updated LinkedIn profile and really helps me put my best foot forward. I had a wonderful time at the studio! I really enjoyed having the jewelry and makeup on hand to help with finishing touches. I felt that the entire team worked hard to get me "picture perfect". The photographer made it easy to be comfortable. He absolutely helped ease my nerves. I was able to just have fun with it, and I feel that my images turned out great because of it! The entire Vakker team made it VERY easy. I would highly recommend the entire experience to anyone looking to update their head shot."

“Vakker Portraits captured the perfect portrait for personalizing my business image.”

"I'm not in a business where my look will make my prospective clients decide to use my services or not… however I do get lots of compliments on my picture, which I use on my website, brochures, monthly newsletter, and LinkedIn. I got your name through two friends whose pictures I loved. They both recommended you. I had makeup done by your artist at the studio. Overall it was a great, positive, simple and short visit. I really liked the fact that as the pictures were taken we looked at them and made the changes we thought were needed... like backgrounds colors and poses. It was a fun treat to get a portrait. I’m the type to feel lucky and blessed I can afford these kind of things… It was a seamless and fun experience."
