Report
I've been working with Jim and Laurie for 16 years. I've had senior pictures, wedding, boudoir, maternity pictures and soon baby pictures through Past to Present. I would never have trusted my wedding pictures to another company. I called Laurie 6 months before our wedding in Mexico and found it very easy to make arrangements for her travel, the payments for the pictures and talking about what types of pictures I was hoping for. Since I don't live in Grand Junction she really went out of her way to help me figure everything out. Our wedding photos are amazing and I could be more thrilled with the outcome!
