Testimonials
I wanted to personally thank everyone with your studio for his or her kindness, professionalism and help. We came to you from a long distance to have our children photographed for their composites and left tremendously pleased (this was even before we saw the finished work)! Everyone made a wonderful impression on us and the children just could not stop talking about ‘the funny man with the bird’. They had such a great time, and were so relaxed! You made them feel special.

Both of the composites that were done are fabulous. And the best part is that they truly have generated representation, auditions, and ultimately work within the industry. We have received numerous comments on how great the composites are. Both Paige and Logan’s personalities were captured beautifully. Logan has representation not only in Green Bay but Milwaukee as well as Chicago. The work has been pretty steady for him as I see his confidence blossom more every day. He has done a lot of print work and is regular for many companies (from regular ads, seasonal magazines to corporate brochures to internet home page sites, he has had a ball thus far.).

Paige on the other hand has had even more work. With numerous agents from Wisconsin as well as Chicago, she has had the opportunity to work within the same clientele base as her brother Logan. She has been auditioning for many commercials and recently auditioned for the new ‘Welch’s Grape Juice Girl’ national campaign.

I have enclosed only a small sample (print work) of the children. I hope that you will keep this on hand for any concerned parent’s, as they can be reassured that even two children from a small town in Wisconsin can work within the industry. Thank you again for everything.

I would like to think all of you for the experience at Papadakis. Everyone was very nice, and helpful. I can’t wait to get Myleigh’s pictures. Once again a BIG THANK YOU from all of us.
-S. Barker, Ohio

Thank you all so much for taking the time to answer our questions and spending the energy to make Alexa feel comfortable. She thoroughly enjoyed the shoot as well as ourselves. You guys were so helpful! You guys have a very professional business and we can see why you are so successful. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.

I had called on Friday when I received Matt’s composites. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was to see them. I actually had to take a few minutes because I started to cry. They looked great and brought out her personality. In so many ways…it was something I will always hold dear to my heart. George truly made her laugh and had a way with her. I appreciate everything you have done It was truly an experience to remember. Thank you again for all of your time, hard work and care in our daughter’s pictures.

We couldn’t be more delighted with Nicholas’ pictures. They turned out fantastic! You are a wonderful photographer. Thank you so much.
-The Loquercios, Illinois

Thank you again for the time you took with my children. They had an absolute ball, and everyone they see, they stop and show them how George had them posing. It has been a lot of fun to see my kids come so alive for something.
-Nichole Blasé, Illinois

This is Nichole Blase, and I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that Carlen had his first modeling job this past week. He did some work for Pearson Publications and will be
appearing in a Kindergarten Text Book. He had a wonderful time and is looking forward to doing it again. Thank you again for getting the kids started in the modeling field. Even if this is the only thing he does, the look on his face when he came out, and the 3 hour ride home with him going ON an ON about what they had him do was well worth it. He has really come out of his shell. Your company did a great job, and both kids still talk about going to Papadakis and how much fun they had.
-Nichole Blasé, Illinois

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience during Isabelle’s 1st photo shoot. You and your staff really made us feel welcome and even though busy, you made us feel important.
-The Keen’s, Wisconsin

We would just like to say thanks for doing such a great job with our son Jakobh. Working with 2 year olds can be challenging, but the way you handled everything was wonderful! I really didn’t think that we would get anything out of him. You all showed such patience and because of you, he did a great job. I will recommend you to all of my friends. I know that Virginia is a long way, but it is totally worth it!
-The Ault Family, Virginia

Thank you so much for the excellent pictures. Everyone did a great job! Kristy already has an agent after only 4 days. Thanks again.
-The Kesslings, Illinois

I would like to thank you for the wonderful photo shoot we had on Feb 10. My daughter Keyana really enjoyed having her picture taken. I would like to personally thank George. He has a great personality and is so easy to work with. It was a great experience for Keyana and myself. Thank you for your help
-Lisa Brendle, Nebraska

I received the photos from my daughters photo shoot. I would like to say that they are beautiful.
-Lisa Brendle, Wisconsin

We had a great time at the photo studio during our appointment on 11/1/2007.  Emma had the time of her life and enjoyed her time with George and the staff in front of the camera. We just received her composites last week.  There are very beautiful.  Thanks so much for your attention and time in helping me pick Emma's attire and hairstyles.
