Best photographer I've ever worked with! Made the experience itself so much fun, and the results were incredible. Everyone now wants to know who took those stunning photos! Dan & Alex are ridiculously creative, talented, and knowledgeable.
I was so impressed from the moment I met Dan and Alex McClanahan. What a wonderful couple with an amazing business. They were both so professional but yet light hearted and fun. Dan is such a talented photographer. He made my daughter feel so at ease during her senior picture photo shoot. Her photos were incredible and he captured her personality so beautifully. All of our photographs came in a timely manner and they were even better than I had imagined when I saw them printed. Thanks Alex and Dan for the exceptional experience!
I’ve taken photos at other competitive studios, but I have never had such a phenomenal experience as I have at McClanahan Studio. Dan and Alex are really down-to-earth people who extend over the boundary of professional and client; they approach their clients in the friendliest ways possible.
McClanahan Studio is a must-go for seniors who not only want pictures but also memories to treasure. What I most appreciated about my experience was the perfect balance in structure and freedom that Dan and Alex (the McClanahan Duo) gave me. I first enlisted all of my hobbies, interests, aspirations, and miscellaneous things I would like to incorporate into my photos, and Dan and Alex meticulously gave me guidelines and suggestions as to how to make my wildest photo-op dreams achievable.
The photo session was a blast. While I’m smiling away in front of the camera, Dan, the photographer, had so many creative poses to direct for me. As Dan casually showed some of the shots he took, I realized that he was a master with natural light. It was really awesome how he could play so much with natural color and light and how he refrained from artificial filters.
The McClanahan’s know how to have fun but also be professionals in the field. Dan is an INCREDIBLE photographer; I do not know how to emphasize this more than with Caps Lock. His photographs are impeccable, and he’s great with witty captions for his photos. Alex is wonderful with her minute details. She’s awesome at making everything personally tailored for the client. She is very organized and allows everything to run smoothly. From her very elaborate emails to her talent in design that is accentuated all over the studio with its flawless interior, she is a great communicator and artist.
My time at McClanahan Studio was one of the most enjoyable things I have done. For seniors or parents of seniors unsure of what the senior picture experience entails, I was in the same position. But, I can now say that it was one of my most memorable experiences. Go to McClanahan Studio if you enjoy fun, creativity, and simply a great time!
This studio is one of the most well run , and fun places to get your portraits captured
After the photos were all taken, I indecisively chose photos to print as wall portraits, desk prints, albums, and other forms. I was astonished when I actually received the prints because they were simply AMAZING. Everything is so clear-cut and beautiful. The prints were more sharp and pristine than the digital files. Alex also had everything packaged in sleek sleeves and pretty boxes with fabric bows. (She knows how to make people happy.)
This studio rocks! Dan and Alex engaged with my daughter for senior pictures in a way that was amazing. I was impressed with the approach even before we showed up for the shoot for getting to know her personality, style, and what it was that she was hoping to capture in her pictures! From the time we hit the studio until we left the junkyard shoot, the experience was a blast! Dan and Alex offer something special for those who are looking for the experience to remember! Thanks both to sharing your amazing talent and style with my daughter at a time she won't ever forget. Plus, the pictures are truly AWESOME. Dan must have been born with a camera in his hand...WOW!
