Horrible to work with. Booked them for my wedding. Wasn't really pleased with my engagement photos. Had to rebook my wedding due to pandemic and our dates didn't line up. They wouldn't return any of my money. Now I am out over $4000.

I worked with Derrick for a professional headshot for my new job. The whole process from initial contact through getting my photos was fantastic and the pictures turned out great. Highly recommend.

April and Derrick are not only immensely talented, but they were beyond wonderful people to work with for our wedding. With area flooding due to some terrible storms that came through the week of our wedding - combined with rain leading right up until a couple hours before our outdoor wedding, April made my wife and I feel so at ease that everything would be fine and that she would capture many beautiful moments for us.and that she did indeed.
We honestly couldn't be happier with the work they did for us at Creative Look Studios. Truly fantastic people to work with who have the talent to match. If you choose to work with them, you'll be very, very glad that you did.

Creative Look Studios was the perfect choice for our (large) family photo. Derrick was a total pleasure to work with. Always responsive and gave great suggestions on how to pick a space that would accommodate our large group. We had 4 children under 4 and Derrick handled the chaos perfectly and captured amazing photos. Turn around time was super fast and the end product was just wonderful. I'll certainly be a return customer and will recommend Creative Look Studios often!
