Horrible Session

AI Highlights
  • - Photographer is rude and unprofessional.
  • - Photos were withheld until unedited copies were requested.
Original review updated Aug 11, 2021

Very rude & unprofessional, zero customer service skills. She does not communicate unless you contact her multiple times and then she calls it harassment and threatening when you are asking for an updated timeline regarding the status of your photos.

Please do your research and Google her reviews. I have found many dating back to 2011 that echo the same experiences we had in July 2021. Half of our one hour session was spent standing around while she asked questions leaving us with only 3 different poses. She held our photos hostage until we finally had to ask for the unedited ones just to get them back.

Now she has posted edited ones on her Facebook page and I am asking for her to please remove my twins photos from her page. Please invest your money with a reputable photographer.

Rude & Obnoxious

AI Highlights
  • - We hired Daisy for our photos.
  • - She reportedly spoke at length about her life.
  • - The session delayed delivery and the photos were poor.

We recently had our pictures taken by Daisy. Shes everything you read about on here.

Most likely one of the worst human beings Ive ever met. She cornered us then unloaded on us for over an hour about her failed marriage. Shes an unloved bipolar crazy-cat-lady renting a basement of a strip mall. She uses this space to trap unsuspecting victims to spill her life-story to.

I feel sorry for anyone whos involved in her life; this lady would be better off on an island without access to food / water. Oh, and her pictures we had to hassle her over a period of 3 weeks to get ; and they were nothing better than what my dog could take with my iPhone 5.

If you research her name online you get the clear understanding that she is not mentally stable and likely the reason as to why she got divorced! She is a little nuts!

She is not a good photographer!

Unprofessional

AI Highlights
  • - The photographer is abrasive and rude.
  • - Baby photos were delivered after a month, longer than promised.
  • - Emails were not answered promptly.

Don't use this photographer ... She is very abrasive and rude when you're at her studio.

It took us over a month to get photos of our baby when she said it would be a week and a half.

Doesn't reply to emails, unless you harass her. Her customer service skills are not very good, considering this is her business - you'd think she would put customer service at her number one priority.

STILL HOLDING OUR PHOTOS HOSTAGE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Daisy was rude.
  • - It was a 3-week wait and the photos were not released; she demanded social media promotion.
  • - She demanded $500 to release them.

We hired Daisy to take photos of our son, was extremely rude and after waiting 3 weeks to receive photos, she demanded that we plaster them all over our social media to advertise for her and when we politely declined (the photos were a surprise for our friends and family and social media kinda spoils that) she demanded that we pay $500 for her to release them. It has been weeks and she still has not given us the photos of our son.

She needs to be put out of business. After coming forward with this, we've learned that so many others were put in the same situation -- it's completely wrong.

She appears to be unstable and can't be reasoned with. Save your money, patience and tears and hire someone else, ANYONE else.

I can see why her husband divorced her. She is not a good photographer and she has no customer service skills.

My friend was treated very very poorly for simply asking that the photos of her son not be posted online. This woman took it to the next level because of this request and was rude and unprofessional. Do not hire!!!!!

  • - We booked a January 6 noon newborn session, arrived 15 minutes early, after a 45-minute drive waited for Daisy who didn’t show or respond.

We booked a newborn session on January 6th at noon. We arrived 15mins beforehand as she requested.

We waited in the truck with our newborn and 7yr old (after driving 45mins to get there) for Daisy to never show up!!

Despite my emails and calls, I have yet to get a response. Needless to say, I’m passing the word out to others to avoid going here!

Amazing

I have used Daisy for family pictures since 2014. I have never had any issues and love the work that she does. I will continue to use her in the future.

The owner contacted us and explained she had a family emergency. Because of the inconvenience of our running around, as a result the photographer has given us half off the regular price of the session. Given that we have used BabyandBelly in the past and loved the pictures, we appreciate the offer.

Baby And Belly Photography - Customer Care Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - We waited 10 minutes before entering.
  • - The photographer was rude to us and our 2-year-old, played swearing music, and photos arrived late.

Horrible experience at baby and belly photography. We walked into her studio, stood there with babies for 10 minutes before she even told us to come in.

She was completely rude with us and our children while playing completely inappropriate music full of swearing Infront of my 2 year old. When the session was over she just walked away never told us it was over. After 15 minutes of us waiting around for her to come back she walked out of her office and told us to leave very rudely without even explaining the process of how we get our pictures.

The pictures Were late and my 2 year old son hated her and didn't want to be photographed by her. I would never go back to this studio.

Horrible customer service

AI Highlights
  • - Daisy's customer service is poor and abrasive.
  • - Her photos are amateurish and look the same, with a boring theme.

I thought at first that the negative reviews were exaggerated by customers who were had over the top expectations. But after dealing with Daisy directly, I can confirm that she is in fact very poor at customer service and abrasive towards her clients.

Her photos are amateurish and definitely not professional quality. All her photos look the same and have the same boring theme. No wonder why her rates are the lowest in town.

Avoid at all costs. Spend your hard earned money on a real photographer who cares about their customers.

Avoid at all costs

AI Highlights
  • - Daisy's photography is said to steal money and ruin moments.
  • - The review notes a negative persona, a crooked smile, and a terrible soundtrack.

If bipolar, impatient, skanks are your thing you will love Daisy.

She oozes this persona with perfection. After graduating from a mail order photog school she decided to set up a studio to steal your hard earned money and destroy any hopes of capturing a decent picture of an important moment in your life. She will do all this with a crooked smile of ill will that would make the Grinch jealous.

And lets not forget the terrible soundtrack of *** music she blares to go with her *** talent and her *** personality. Hopefully her "studio" will burn down along with all her equipment and her hands will suffer unrepairable damage so she is unable to practice photography thus saving the world form her garbage work.

  • - She didn't make us feel welcome.
  • - I wouldn't recommend her or go back.

she was in a bad mood, she had no patient with my kid. she did not make us feel welcome in her studio.

i wouldn't recommend her to anybody. it was that bad!!!! when I ask her what kind of ideas she had for us, she told me that i was suppose to bring my own ideas with me ( she is the photographer after all).

She took for ever to put up her background and then advise me that i only have 10 minutes left to my session. it wasn't a good experience at all and i wouldn't go there anymore.

Baby and Belly Phototography - Rude, Arrogant, Terrible Experience

AI Highlights
  • - Daisy offered no direction and ignored us.
  • - The session felt tense and ended early.
  • - Photos were delivered late and not worth the money.

We had an awful experience with Daisy at Baby and Belly Photography. When we arrived at the studio she offered us no direction. In fact she didn’t even acknowledge us. My 6-year old daughter was taken aback after she stuck her head into her office to say hello and was fully ignored.

The session itself was poorly run and tense – due mostly to her nasty disposition and thinly veiled aggression. When our young baby wouldn’t cooperate she said the session was over, even though we stood around for 20 minutes at the beginning of our hour doing nothing. This led to an argument where we were told that she couldn’t get photos of high enough quality for her website - so we were done. What should have been a great experience for our family left a horrible taste in our mouth.

After the fact we learned our friends had worked with her and had the same awful experience. I honestly can’t remember dealing with someone in the service industry who is so rude and unprofessional. She is clearly under the impression that her customers are there for her – not the other way around.

And the pictures? They were delivered late and were ok at best. Certainly not worth the money and the negativity.

Found her rude and short on the phone

AI Highlights
  • - Called to book a photo session; she was rude.
  • - She said she was busy with other customers, suggested email, and did not return my call.

Was calling to book a photo session for my little ones and found her to be rude and short with me on the phone. I felt like I was inconveniencing her.

I guess she's too busy to talk to customers. Told me she'd "love to sit and talk to me for 10 minutes but she had customers waiting". "Didn't your mom tell you email was the best way to get a hold of me? Obviously I won't be emailing her.

if you are too busy to answer the phone don't pick it up and be rude to the customer.

I should have known she wasn't interested when she didn't return. My first phone call.

I totally had the same experience... i feel like a dodged a bullet by stopping there and looking somewhere else for my photos...i could not believe how hard it is to get a hold of her studio.

Guest

Hi there,

I would have loved to chat with you. Unfortunately I had clients waiting and was in between sessions at the time of your call. I answer the phone when I can and try to answer as many questions as possible. Email is still the best way to get in touch with me as I like to have the session dates in writing so there is no miscommunication and because I need your email address for booking. All the best and thank you for your consideration. Take Care!

  • - Daisy, owner and photographer, greeted us.
  • - Location at 1120 March Rd, Kanata, easy to find; clean and professional.
  • - We would return; friends referred us.

I attended at Baby and Belly Photography today with my family for our first family photo session. We were greeted kindly by Daisy, the owner and professional photographer.

The location was easy to find, very clean and professional. Daisy made us all feel very comfortable and was excellent in all aspects of the service she provides. We would definitely go back. We really enjoyed our time at Baby and Belly Photography.

Her location is 1120 March Road, Kanata, Ontario. Thanks for being great Daisy.

My friends referred me to you and we are very pleased we went to see you. Marc.

Daisy Ducharme of Baby and Belly Photography - NOT GOOD

AI Highlights
  • - Daisy Ducharme was rude and unfriendly.
  • - She did not review the session or invite input.
  • - She made an offensive remark about the newborn photo request.

We had a bad experience with Daisy Ducharme at Baby and Belly Photography. She was down right rude and unfriendly.

We cannot understand how someone with that approach to customer service is in business. We will never user her services again. She was very stand-offish and did introduce herself while we were standing in her studio. She failed to review how the session would go, did not want our input and seemed very clumsy with her backdrops.

Overall the session was a disaster. She even made some offensive remark (won't get into details) when we indicated the type of photo we would like for our newborn.

Overall, we were very dissappointed. Daisy Ducharme of Baby and Belly Photography is not good at customer service.

I used her services over the Holidays and was very, very dissappointed. Will not use again and will choose a professional photographer, not a ***, for future photo work.

We used her services and she IS NOT GOOD with people. There are lots of folks doing what she does. Go somewhere else where the experience will be much better.

Just had a session. Daisy was great.

Professional, friendly and made us laugh. Some people just don't click but her work still looks great.

You must got her on a good day. Our experience was similar to most posts on this site. I can't believe that my friend recommended her.

We recently had a photo shoot with Daisy and found her a delight to work with. She was casual and easy going and we will use her again.

She is not a good photographer

Guest

What?? I went to have pictures done for when I was pregnant and when my baby was a newborn. I have three more sessions booked with her in the next year.

I just think she was amazing, she was relaxed and she made us feel very confortable in her studio. Our little baby peed everywhere when we where taking photos and she was not even annoyed. Either way, you can say what you want... She produces beautiful pictures.

It's really sad that some people would give her such a bad review. If you have your pictures taking with her, you'll see she's excellent. No worries at all.

Dont forget she just had a baby... Maybe she was just tired like so many of us ;)

She does NOT take good pictures, that's the thing. Maybe if she was a good photographer and actually knew proper lighting, posing, editing, her terrible customer service *might* be worth overlooking, but she isn't even good at her craft!

No . I'm sorry but she is what I called a real B, and would never recommend her to anyone .

I'm surprise someone in the the Customer service is acting the way she does.

She should not be in business .

We also used the services of Baby & Belly Photography for photos of our children.

We felt like we were inconveniencing Daisy during the photo shoot, but interestingly enough, she grew friendly when it was time to remind us how to pay up!

Not what you would expect from a children's photographer. Thoroughly disappointed.
