I wish I could give zero stars! My experience with Photos by Glenna was an absolute disaster from start to finish. When I arrived for my photo session, Glenna greeted me dressed as a pirate and insisted I address her as "Captain." I thought it was some sort of themed promotion, but it turned out she just really enjoys living out her pirate fantasy during business hours.

To make matters worse, the studio was decorated like a pirate ship, complete with a fake parrot that squawked insults at me every five minutes. Glenna then proceeded to take my photos while swinging from a rope and shouting "Aargh!" after every shot. Not exactly the professional atmosphere I was hoping for.

But the nightmare didn't end there. When it was time to review the photos, I discovered that every single one had been digitally altered to include various sea creatures—an octopus on my head, a shark in the background, and even a mermaid photobombing my family portrait! When I asked for normal, unaltered photos, Glenna insisted that the pirate-themed edits were "artistic enhancements" and refused to provide the originals.

I finally received my prints weeks later, only to find that they were all printed on what appeared to be pieces of an old treasure map. My family portrait had a giant X marking the spot on my forehead! I can't even hang these photos up without feeling like I'm part of some bizarre pirate adventure.

If you value your sanity and want normal, professional photos, steer clear of Photos by Glenna. Unless, of course, you're into pirate-themed chaos and enjoy being insulted by a mechanical parrot. In that case, this place is perfect for you.

Glenna, thank you so much for making my photoshoot such a fun and fabulous experience. Your talent goes far beyond your masterful photography skills. You made me feel confident and comfortable in my own skin during every step of the process, from the initial contact and the creation of my story to the actual shoot day. I can't thank you enough.

I did something that was uncomfortable to me and Glenna made it all so comfortable. I was never a camera fan... but after having the 40 over 40 session with Glenna, I am happy to pose for the camera and have increased my photo selfie library a great deal! Glenna has a talent which really puts you at ease so that you can feel the beauty that is in you and yearning to come out! She portrays in her pics what you so often have but not dare expose! I would highly recommend Glenna for any photo session for any occasion or just for you to see you as you truly are! My session was one of the most memorable things I've done and now generations to come can physically see who their grandma is and was!

Glenna is the most talented, patient photographer I could’ve ever hoped to work with. I hadn’t been photographed in years because I am not photogenic. Glenna put me at ease and also showed me how to pose. Her backgrounds were pure artistry. I was thrilled with the finished pictures and also feel like I truly made a friend. I highly recommend!

Working with Glenna was an amazing experience.
This was the first time a photographer listened to me about what I liked and more importantly what I didn't like.

She made sure every picture made me happy.
Things were very comfortable and easy in her studio.

I highly recommend using Glenna for your photography.

This photo shoot was an adventure for me. Lauren applied my makeup to enhance my features, and instantly I felt young again. Glenna warmly welcomed me to the studio, and together we went through all the possibilities for putting together the right outfits. Posing to be photographed is not something that comes easy to me, but Glenna made me feel very comfortable, directing me how to pose and explaining why it results in a better picture. She was very encouraging, and as we continued with outfit change after outfit change, I became much more at ease with posing for each shot. When time came to view the photos I was in awe of how beautiful they were. Glenna is extremely talented for in the photos I saw myself as beautiful, sensual, and fun. I highly recommend Glenna for whatever occasion you want photo memories, and for those of us who are well over 40, she can definitely bring out your inner youth.

Glenna was beyond amazing. I was so scared to be photographed but she put all of my fears at rest. From the moment I met her I felt so comfortable. Glenna was hilarious, relatable, down to earth while also being incredibly professional and skilled in what she does. I never looked better in my pictures, way better than I ever imagined. Thank you so much, Glenna!! You are a true artist and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to be photographed by you!

This was a wonderful experience. Glenna made me feel comfortable and at home, like we were old friends. I love that she takes the time to get to know someone and then brings it out in her photographs. Even before any editing the shots were beautiful and I really felt she captured the real me. Highly recommend! And if you're over 40- get in on her 40 women over 40 shoot!
