Cora's Portrait Studio

Thankfully not in business anymore, because unfortunately although she takes beautiful pictures, she has a nasty way of judging others, and speaking ill of them to other clients or friends, as many other reviews have shown. We witnessed this while working with her to re-home a puppy. I too had massive difficulty of her non-responsive nature and talking negatively about other clients who had been at her studio before us. I do believe that a check on her "memory" of history may be in order, which forced us to need to pay attention to certain rumors about her moving, and lie to our kiddos about "where" she moved, so we would not scar them furthermore with her "no commumication" with us, so that our kiddos could keep up on her "not followed through" promises on them seeing a dog we had given to her, and continually be let down :( By the way, the dog was abruptly left with us to take care of, was a $700 pure bread dog that was given to her for free, which had many more needs than we could care for. As being the only ones who offered to re-home him, with no help from others, we felt she was the best fit. I do believe a juvenille "no response" was her cue to pay us back for offering to pay only half of a $400 tooth bill she incurred in the dog we re-homed with her, a few months later. This obviously did not make her happy, and the true personality of this person that I have heard rumors about in town, truly came out by not returning phone calls and never responding to our offer. Since our job was not to need to continually chase her down, one would think someone who made promises to a child, and swears to "love to have them around the dog" would be the first one to call us and work to follow through on them, since she knew how important it was to this little girl. This speaks volumes about a person, as does her continuous completely different version of history and added on lies to events drummed up. Often times when people get called out on thier past regressions, putting pain on others is how they handle this. Deflection is the name of this game, and it sounds like a personal issue. This review matches up with others who have experienced her nasty nature and wild judgement of others, as we witnessed her too speaking so ill of certain parents and their personal choices, then to turn around and friend them. Unprofessional. Toxic for sure. There is a reason for everything in life, and apparently ours was looked out for as to why communication was not returned and promises not fulfilled. My younger child was also treated badly during one of our photography sessions, which was super sad that the hubs and I continued to give her the benefit of the doubt. I guess moving on and believeing that Karma is the universes best weapon is my form of healthy closure :) Hopefully inward change will happen for her in the future.

Cora does all my professional photos and has photographed two of my grand-children's graduation pictures. She does fantastic work and goes the extra mile to give you original photos! She even made a poster of one grandson's name and filled the name with pics of him doing stunts on his bike! She is great!!!

I recently took my 10 month old son here for Easter pictures. Cora was absolutely amazing and did everything to get a smile out of my son. He smiled every time she walked into the room and the array of props / backdrops / themes she has to work with are great!! Her portrait packages are flexible and there are tons of options! She's quick, but not pushy, she just knows what she's doing and how to do it! All in all I highly recommend!
