Chris did an excellent job with my headshots! Highly recommend! Very fun to work with and very professional. I'll definitely be contacting him again in the future!

Chris is amazing and I highly recommend him to any looking for quality photo, professionality, and expert work look no further. :

I was looking for an experienced photographer for my son's senior portrait. My son was comfortable with Chris from the start. Chris was patient and open to suggestions. Looking forward to getting the proofs back in a week or so and will provide an update at that time. I'm expecting to have a difficult time in making choices because I'm sure there will be plenty of excellent shots to choose from. If you want things done right - go see Chris. He knows his stuff.

I really enjoyed working with Chris on my business portraits. I had specific needs for the website which he accommodated easily. Visit his studio and look at his amazing outdoor photos. Highly recommend him!

I'm VERY PLEASED with the formal and semi-formal business photographs Chris took for me. I also appreciated him using his Photoshop skills to make the photos really look flawless! I brought several attire changes from which he chose two. He also used two different backgrounds as my company has very specific requirements for background as well as size. I felt very comfortable in the studio, which I think also helped the photos turn out well.

These are photos I will use for the next several years so the price was extremely reasonable in my opinion. I especially appreciated the numbered photos presented in a binder to review with my family. It was a very difficult selection as so many photos captured different expressions and angles. The final web and print pictures were delivered on a thumb drive and are backed up by the studio in case I ever lose them or need adjustments made. Nice to have this critical part of my business done and done well!

Chris Leavitt is a liar and a fraud and a sneak. We won a "free" sitting from an auction, but later found him pushy and extraordinarily high-priced when later purchasing photos. He is smooth and warm and very kind in person upon first meeting, and the actual photo session was fun. Yes, fun! But wait until you're ready to buy. The tactics get hard-ball and expensive, and his prices aren't posted on his website. Honestly, we got ripped off and when we came to our senses the next day, he'd already "placed the order and couldn't reverse the process." Many, many weeks later, he still didn't have our order until we literally hounded him.

He also promised we could have the digital file, but then admitted that he never released copyright permissions and gave us a thumbprint version instead. He also promised us free Christmas cards with our photo, which we eventually got, but only because I sent my husband to stand on his doorstep until he walked into the place. AVOID THIS UNETHICAL BUSINESS AND ITS OWNER.

We used Chris Leavitt for our son's senior photos and were very pleased by the results. He did a sitting which included studio shots and shots in downtown Tacoma. They turned out well and were retouched to look even better. The only caveat I would give would be to plan for timing. We ordered our pictures at the end of January and because they are sent to an out of state printer, we only recently received them. However, they are very high quality and we are grateful. Chris also gave us digital copies of pictures because my son attends a small private high school and we needed to submit our own senior photos to the yearbook in a timely manner.

We are very pleased with the work of Chris Leavitt Photography on a series Family Portraits he produced for us this past Fall. Chris was very approachable and prompt in meeting with us, as well as scheduling our photo shoot. He also took the necessary time to do a top quality job. We appreciate his pre-shoot advice & consultation with the result of his efforts yielding superb portraits. We now have several family portraits on display in our home that we couldn't be happier with.

We have received many compliments from family, friends & neighbors. We highly recommend Chris Leavitt for his outstanding work. He combines technical expertise & many years of experience with a very personable, easy going style.
