Horrible company, can see green screen outline around student. Poor shots. Over priced. They showed up 30 minutes late to set up at our school and forgot the camera creating huge delays. Really poorly run company.
I'm surprised to see all the negative reviews of this company. My experience with them was great! They took my son's preschool photos. I liked their process for ordering online, the photos were high quality and the prices were reasonable. Thanks, Geskus!
I currently see 34 reviews for Geskus Photography on Google, and about 30 of those 34 are negative. But then you have to think, how many satisfied customers go out of their way to praise a company for doing a good job??? Not very many, is the answer. So 30 people out of tens of thousands have com...
Had a small mix up with school pictures and they went above and beyond to fix it and send the items directly to our home address. Amazing company and customer service! Thank you so much!
The last 2 years in a row they have done a poor job with my sons school photo. For as much as they charge I wish they would try a little harder to do quality work.
They take FOREVER to get school photos back! Retakes are in 1 week & we haven't even seen the pictures yet! They rush the kids through which result in not great pictures.
Geskus Photography took school photos of our preschooler and the photo itself is wonderful. Our daughter is almost 4 and had a large watermark on her dress from being at school for a bit that morning. Greg helped edit out the watermark on the front of her dress and was very professional and courteou...
I order my kids pictures online (after their picture date at school). Two out of my 3 kids pictures came home about a week later. The 3rd package never came. I called and they were very polite, did not know why we hadn't received them yet. But said they would get them reprinted and send out right aw...
This photography company is a joke! Worst photography company in Michigan! It doesn't even deserve a one star! I ordered my child's school pictures online and did not receive what I ordered and I tried requesting to return what I got to get what I wanted and they kept emailing me back and forth abou...
One is star is one star too many. Bad bad bad. Ordered two yearbooks last year, never received either one. Packages are over priced. Not good deals. I wouldn't be purchasing anything at all if it weren't for my kids wanting school pictures. Also had problems with soccer picture orders. Nothing but p...
This is for service only since I have no idea how to get my prints. The code they sent doesnt work. I've been on hold for 40 minutes. There is no contact info on the sheet they sent us.
The photographer pull out pieces of my daughter hair from her braid and she had hair sticking up all over the place. My daughter smile looked like she was so uncomfortable it truly worries me. When I reach out to them about the picture the response was so awful I could not believe how rude this girl...
Every year I end up with the wrong picture package. I will give their customer service credit though as they fix the problem. My daughters looked photo shopped into the picture, they were positioned crooked and not even centered to the background. Picture quality is low for the price, and the books ...
Well first off I was upset at how long it took for photos to come back. The pictures are quite grainy and it was ridiculously expensive. I am a professional photographer myself but wanted the experience of having my sons first pictures done and the excitement of getting them back. Granted he always ...
They were absolutely awful. First off the wait alone to get them back is forever. My son's photos were done by Lifetouch and back within 2 weeks! It's was a good 5 weeks before we seen my daughters by Geskus. We paid extra for the premium background because my daughter loved it. It looked like they ...
I got my sons pictures and they didn t even capture him smiling and his head was tilted. My son is nine and has a huge smile with big teeth and gaps. I would ve loved a photo to capture that! For what I paid and what I received.... I was not happy. I was going to get retakes but then my son had ...
I ordered online received an incomplete order for one of my kids.I then contacted customer service said they would send the rest of the order immediately. Waited two weeks ..... nothing. Then contacted them again and they said that they sent it to the school and to call them to get my pictures and ...
Geskus helped me with a project for the Varsity cheer squad and went above and beyond to do so. Not sure why there are so many negative posts, but everyone I've dealt with have been nothing but kind and helpful.
I am not sure why there are so many poor reviews. It is school photography, not senior pics. I had a small issue with my daughters photos and they were SO quick and kind about fixing the issue. Love their customer service.
If I could give them 0 starts I would! I hate their cheap looking pictures and I hate their digital backgrounds. I wish my kids elementary school would go with someone different. Class pictures are stacked photos of everyone's individual pictures, instead of an actual class photo. Digital photogr...
Their web ordering is far unsuperior to lifetouch. And they want to charge you $6 shipping for an envelope with your prints in it. Ridiculous. Send them all to the school. We won't order from hegeskus. I saw a review response that says this is gpi not geus. But th gpi stands for geskus photography i...
Horribly inflexible, non customer-focused. Amidst the confusion of the first week of school, especially during Covid, they insist on taking pictures anyway when kids are still stressed out and not yet settled in. Plus, I as a parent wasn't aware of pictures being taken until the following week, and ...
Price wise this company is very similar to Life Touch; however, there are far more backgrounds to choose from. Should there ever be an issue, Geskus is very quick to respond and resolve. Their customer service is superior to other companies, and the photos are always crystal clear. Not to mention L...
Geskus has always done my kids photos I love their work and for the parents that think it sucks or that their kids get rushed maybe you should get off your butt and go with them for their photo! I always go and every photographer that I've had takes the photo until I am satisfied. As for their price...
I was fortunate enough to work with Hillary, Natasha, Don, and one sweet girl whose name I forgot(I'm old, so please forgive the brain fart) It was one of the most greatest life experiences, I swear! Not only are they professional, and not too pushy, but they are soooo patient and kind. My son goes...
I talked to Roxanna there this morning and ordered back photos for my kids. She was very helpful and even discounted a package because there was no year book or class photo. Thank you!!
My 8 year old takes better photos. And thanks for the ever awesome customer service and support. I have been calling for weeks because I only recieved pics of one of my children. I've left several messages. No one answers the phone or calls back. I just tried calling again, surprise, the mailbox is ...
Geskus has done good job with my child's school pictures the past 2-years. This year there was a problem with the personalization (we couldn't see it against the background of my child's shirt). I called and spoke with a woman named Amy. Amy was very helpful and answered all my questions and prom...
I ordered pictures for my daughter back in October of this year and I have still not received my photos. They keep giving me the run around of when they will be ready. I have been waiting since October for my daughters first school pictures ever. They are not taking their mistakes seriously or my or...
I think they are only after the money they don't care how the child looks. I had retakes done and I am still not happy they don't care it's all about the money and they are not cheap.
Was highly disappointed with my order. The free stuff that they give you are all perforated but the pictures that I bought were not and I had to cut them out of the booklet they set them in. This was my first time buying school pictures for my kids and it will be the last of my school goes through t...
This company screws up my daughters pictures every year. This year her pictures came back with a line down every page where color is missing. Just horrible quality. How does Geskus stay in business?
I called the company a month ago to have the color of the background changed. The woman was nice over the phone and told me that it would get taken care of, and that they would be giving me a call when it was all taken care of. It has been a month now and they have not changed the background on the ...
I think the school's should go back to Lifetouch!!! Geskus doesn't put space between the pictures so you cut wrong on them!!! The pictures are of low quality and expensive!! You can't pick a different background for each sheet of pictures which you can do with Lifetouch from your phone!!! I really h...
Have yet to have hers done since we just got the order form. These prices are heck of alot more cheaper than when I was a kid. Just wish on their form it had example of the personalization.
Who ever dreamed they'd be longing for the quality of Lifetouch circa 1995? My children's elementary school photos were done recently by Geskus Photography. School pictures have never been the cream of photographic portraiture but I was honestly surprised and disappointed by how poor these were. ...
Very disappointed! My daughter is all bummed out because despite the fact that I already paid for her photos online, the people at the school told her she'll only be in the yearbook because she didn't bring in her "paper". If you don't want us to pay online then don't print it on the paper...duh!! B...
We ordered the negative. It is such low quality that no one can print it. The studio has not made it right and therefore I recommend no one use this company.
Ordered my daughters school pictures and I guess i didnt fill out the form which is my fault but they tried to keep my money till i said something instead of sending it back. They said they would send the package and they sent me the wrong kid. It's been a few days and still have not heard back from...
Ordered my doughter school photos. Quality of picture is good. Be prepaired to spend two hours cutting all the photos as they come in a sheet. And it is very hard to cit a straight line between pictures.
A few years ago, we used this service via the school for pictures for both of our kids. Very disappointed. I had carefully chosen the same background and stance so the pictures would look nice hanging on the grand parents' walls. The pictures ended up having different back grounds/stances. (of cour...
If we had a choice, we wouldn't use GPI for school pictures. We only ever order the online package and often the web code is for a previous year or a year is missing altogether. They use the same web code for multiple years - It's a terrible system and frustrating. When I reach out, they have been a...
Geskus is absolutely wonderful. I have a senior this year and I was going through his photos and realized that I never ordered his 10th grade photos. He was supposed to have retakes because his hair was wet from just getting done with practice. When retakes were available, he never went down to h...
Last year the school used Geskus. My daughters mouth was wide open as the photographer told her to say something and snapped at the wrong time. This year same thing, my daughter has a forced smile on and it almost looks painful. I m not asking for them to take 100 shots so I can choose one but ma...
I agree with all the other parents. The quality of the photos is terrible given the price. I can print better pictures on my computer at home. I am returning my kids packets for a refund.
I wish I could give this company zero stars. My kids' school district chose Geskus this year (we've always had Life Touch before) to try and save parents money, I do appreciate the thought. However the savings for my family was less than $10/child. You get one background choice, the background I wa...
We just had pictures day and waited FOREVER for the prints to be able to view online. We were told they would be available after 10 days. Here we are a month later and I have the proofs and I'm so disappointed. I have 4 pose options and 2 are the EXACT same. I can tell little effort was made. Their ...
