DNA Premium Photography

1. I purchased a session through Livingsocial which included hair and makeup. I was expecting professional hair and makeup… Which I did not get. I felt that my hair and makeup was a rushed job. I did not like the way my hair or how my makeup looked. If I knew that my hair and makeup was going to be done like that I would have come with my hair and makeup already done. It also stated that I would get refreshments which I did not get.
2. The packages are very expensive and I put a deposit down for a huge package but after thinking it through I decided not to go through with the expensive package… Especially since I was not satisfied with my look.
3. I have recently received my proofs and although I like some of the photos, I don’t feel that it’s worth the money that they are asking for the pictures. I have an existing credit from my deposit and my Livingsocial package but with the choice of packages, I would still need to pay more out of pocket… and I don’t really want to do that. I would rather find another place to re-​do my photo session with the hair and makeup I’m satisfied with. I was also told that it cost $ 125 for ONE digital photo!!! How convenient since that’s how much my deposit is!!! THIS SEEMS TO BE A BAIT AND SWITCH and I will be contacting the BBB!
4. With all that… Christina is super sweet and is really helpful with making sure that your best features are showing… (Although… Some of the angles that they took of me were HORRIBLE!) Just be sure to ask who will be doing your hair and makeup and maybe ask the background of the hair and makeup artist before making the appointment. Better yet… FIND ANOTHER PLACE! I was referred to Blush Photography in Sacramento … If you’re willing to travel do it! I’ve looked at Lisa’s work and they are amazing!

Signed up for Unilocal so I could do this review. Thanks for using the pretty lens on me. I loved the sneek peek of my photo shoot. DNA Premium Photography has me in suspense. #foreverbeautiful Christina is a talented posing coach. The photographer chased the best light to compliment me. #greatpitcrew thank you, the Fire in your life

I wanted a cute Valentine’s Day present for my boyfriend, so I went on livingsocial to see what deals they had. I always seen those boudoir shoot vouchers around, so I decided why not give it a try? So I did and called DNA photography. It took a while to get ahold of somebody but Christina shot me an email and we set up a date.
Christina and Dwayne are very welcoming and funny and helped my experience feel comfortable. The voucher was $ 60 I believe for 3 digital images. Pretty cheap so I decided why not. They really push the 1000 $ packages on you though, but I really did not want to spend that much. I love my images also!
Now I am part of the DNA spokesmodels, and I get to shoot with Dwayne for free doing different themed shoots with another girl. I enjoy their services!

I’ve been trying to call this company for the last three days I’ve sent two emails. And I’ve called three times. and no one has ever replied I don’t know where all these reviews are coming from more power to people who were able to get through but I really like the photos they had on Unilocal and I wanted to do a birthday session I guess that will never happen since I can’t even get a call back for an appointment that’s a horrible way to do business.

I enjoyed the process of doing this photo shoot. Christina did a great job on make up and hair ad was super fast! She had great suggestions for clothing and gave fun posing suggestions. I usually hate doing this stuff but everyone there was low stress and low pressure, it was great. I got a lot of good shots out of the experience too it was hard to choose which ones to take home!

I purchased the boudoir session through Living Social. Christina returned my call promptly and was very professional and helpful. I felt I was going to be in great hands after reading all the positive reviews on Unilocal and was not disappointed. This team is phenomenal! I didn’t feel rushed at all and was totally comfortable throughout the entire process. Christina is a magnificent multitasker who does make-​up, wardrobe, photo-​coaching, administration and so much more! I even had the opportunity to view a few of my photos at the end of the session — awesome editing. Dwayne is beyond superb. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Honestly, the best part was being in the company of these «Masters of their Craft.»

Ladies! A photo session with Christina and Dwayne is a must do. I just completed a session and was extremely satisfied with the professionalism by the DNA team. I felt comfortable, had fun and Christina did a wonderful job on my hair and make-​up. I’m usually not very photogenic but Dwayne and Christina waved their magic wands and produced beautiful photos of me.

Received a Living Social deal for my birthday from my mother in law. I had a difficult time getting in contact with anyone for an appointment. Finally I was contacted and able to get an appointment and even though it was past the voucher date it was still honored. Christina and Dwayne was very nice however I did not enjoy my session. I felt and looked awkward in all the poses. My photos were photoshop and airbrushed where it did not look natural or sexy. I purchased a package that was offer that day and I wish I would of waited to see the finished product before purchasing any packages. I didn’t feel it was worth the money spent on the package I received.

Dwayne and Christina were awesome! I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to go, but they made me comfortable and the session was fun! Thanks again!

I can’t say enough good things about both the experience of my boudoir shoot and the amazing images that Christina and Dwayne created. Like pretty much every woman out there, I feel self-​conscious about myself at times and that’s fully dressed!, but this team combined amazing skills and generous-​hearted personality to make me feel comfortable and beautiful.
I have no doubts that this is going to turn out to be the best Valentine’s day present for my husband ever. What surprised me was that the whole experience turned out to be a very special present for me, too. If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of a boudoir session. Do it! These guys will make you feel like a goddess.

I purchased the boudoir session through Living Social for a birthday present for my boyfriend. I was nervous and excited. Christina was amazing and Dwayne was great at blending into the background. The hardest part was modeling for sure! Those poses are challenging! But looking at the photos was work every straining muscle to hold that pose. The experience was splendid, although a bit stressful just because modeling is hard work. I ended up purchasing a package for 50 digital images that was on special. They set me up with a payment plan, which was great because I was broke for the holidays.
I did have a fair amount of issues figuring out how to navigate the website to get my images. It took a while to figure out how to download the images and then download software to unzip the folder. But once I did that, it was great to have all those images. Christina was wonderful answering my many pestering questions through the whole process.
I printed up an album through Walgreens and the boyfriend loved them! Worth every penny.
Overall, it was a great experience that I look forward to repeating.

Never in my life would I ever consider doing a boudoir photo shoot, but as I slowly age… I begin to realize that life is short and we only live once so I might as well capture my youth now before it’s gone forever.
I bought a LivingSocial offer and made an appointment for ¹⁰⁄₃₀. I had no idea what to expect so I was quite nervous while driving in and then getting «lost» before calling Christina to figure out their exact location. I was at the right place, just not deep in enough to see their building which is located behind a furniture company (I think).
I arrived about 20 minutes early and Christina came out to open the lobby door for me. As we made our way up the steps, she gave me the talk through of what to expect during the entire process.
I brought 4 outfits and 3 pairs of heels for her to choose from. She eliminated the dress because it covered up too much skin for a boudoir session.
She worked on my hair and make up. I usually don’t wear any make up so I was a little surprised to see how different I looked with make up on, not that she did a bad job on it either. Just a little heavier/​darker than what I’m accustomed to. She did a nice job on curling my hair too!
During the entire session, I was very self conscious, but Christina made me feel comfortable by making small talks and cracking a few jokes. She and Dwayne definitely make a great team. The entire shoot took about 2 hours.
I came back to view my photos on ¹¹⁄₄ and boy was I surprised… there were so many photos to choose from that I felt overwhelmed. They made me look and feel great so I wanted to purchase everything. Unfortunately, I had a budget and needed to stay within my number so I ended up choosing 24 shots out of the hundreds… which was not an easy task.
If I ever need to have another boudoir session done, this will be my place of choice. I’ve already recommended them to my sisters and my niece. Great experience with great people!

As I anxiously await my photos, I feel compelled to write this review. Unlike many people who do these photos I am not a novice, I’m a pro at this! I have done many shoots over the years since I was 19. Now as I approach 40 I decided yet again to treat myself. This shoot was a birthday gift to myself. I originally chose DNA because of their ad on living social. I liked the deal but after doing some research, I decided to commit to buy. I liked their unique partnership, photography and choreographer. As I said I’ve done this before and Christina’s role is a much needed one, after all. Dwayne can be free to take the best shots if he doesn’t have to direct me too. So I jumped at it. Now I’m not shy, and I knew what to expect from previous experience. I made my appointment almost 2 months in advance, gave them my why, and when and what I wanted. We made my appointment. A am appointment, which I couldn’t of been happier with since I am a morning person. On the phone Christina was to the point and very professional, so I had no worries of how she would handle the shoot. And my shoot day, I of course arrived early, because the studio is tricky to find once your in the parking lot. And I’m just anal about time. I was about 15 minutes early in the morning which can be a big deal. It wasn’t, they both were there and took me right in and got started! My hair was already done, due to the fact I have very short hair and didn’t want any set backs. I do recommend the same to anyone with short hair, Christina was set up with curling irons, but they are prepared to touch up and ascent not work miracles! She does not have a magic wand, so please keep this in mind! The instructions were to come with base makeup on but I don’t wear foundation, so I had none to put on. No worries, it was handled! I liked the look, not too much at all. Next I was to pull out my outfits and Christina was going to sort them out in the order she wished to go. As I said I’ve done this before and my last shoot, was totally nude, so for this session I had little need for much clothing, I prefer less and since this was just for me, why not in my birthday suit! My cousin teased me and asked «Do they know you plan on being naked?» Again no worries, they both made me feel as comfortable and natural as I normally do. Side note it was warm and toasty in the studio, a big plus since I had little on! The photo shoot in total took about 2 hours. And I swear Dwayne took hundreds of photos. It was a grew experience, Christina was grew as I thought she would be. I have large breast and kind of a small frame, so if I or any woman in gravity lays, sits or breathes a certain way, look like I’m choking. She caught and corrected that! Dwayne was quick and to the point. Fun and playful while professional and respectful (after all I was wearing nothing more than jewelry, stilettos and a smile). I had a great time! I can’t wait until I get my photos, I already have plans for where to put them! I would highly recommend this duo for your next gift!

Christina and Dwayne are AWESOME!!! Having never done a boudoir photo shoot before I walked in extremely nervous and a little self-​conscious but those feelings quickly disappeared working with these two. They are very professional with great attention to wardrobe, hair, make-​up, posing… they think of every single detail. I’ve yet to see my photos but have no doubt that they captured everything I was hoping for.

I had an awesome time with Christina and Dwayne for my boudoir photo shoot. I was a bit nervous at first but Christina calmed my nerves by being there every step of the way from doing my makeup to curling my hair and helping me pose. It’s very rare that a studio offers all those services so I really appreciated the attention she gave to make this a fun and comfortable experience for me. Dwayne is an excellent photographer. The photos came out looking great. He is super easy to work with, very sweet and has a great personality. I really enjoyed working with both of them and highly recommend DNA Photography.

I had a great experience with DNA photography for boudoir photos. Christina, Dwayne and their staff make you look and feel like a model. It was a fun experience and I would highly recommend working with them.

This was my first professional photoshoot with an actual photographer in a photo shoot setting. Christina and Dwayne are both so passionate about their work, and I would recommend them to anyone! They both have their own unique methods to capture a true person’s beauty through the lens of a camera, it really is remarkable! It’s a wonderful experience and you truly learn a lot about yourself. I would definitely return in the near future for another session :)

I turn to DNA premium photography when I need headshots, website photography or video. They have always been there to assist me and the work is high quality and professional. What I like most about DNA is the feel good atmosphere that they create from the moment you walk into the studios. They definitely aim to please and they have such high standards. I will continue to work with them and highly recommend DNA.

I absolutely loved my pictures. I would defiantly recommend this photography studio to everyone. Christina was very professional and accommodating to my needs and wants. I’m so happy I choose this studio to take my photos. Great job!

Decided to treat myself for my birthday. I was a little nervous, but was totally comfortable when it was time to take the photos. Christina was really nice and still helped me a bit with my hair and make-​up after choosing to do it myself. Next time I’ll pay to have it done there.
There are corsets and boas there for you to use and you get to use a robe to and from the dressing room.
Christina showed me different poses to do and I felt completely at ease. I felt like a model for the day. It would be so much fun to come back for a bachelorette party. I can’t wait to see my photos in a couple of days.
