"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Here are some real words from people that I have had the pleasure of working with. Nothing added, no fluff, no hype. Just real words from real people. :o)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Gustavo Alfaro...quite a name I know. Kind of sounds like a name a guy made up just because it would look good in a photography business. Haha

But, I assure you this guys is the real deal. No faking here. He's as real as it gets inside and out, and it shows through his pictures.

G, as I like to call him, has a passion for this business. Also, an awesome knack and talent to go along with it.

He will, do everything in his power and circumstance to get you the best quality images, in a tasteful, edgy, and classy manor. He wouldn't put that signature on the bottom of the picture if he didn't.

If you ask me, I personally think, he has a new style out there. A style that is needed out there. He will not photoshop the crap out of your photos to make you look like someone you aren't. He's going to keep it real, keep you real, and make you look as beautiful as God made you.

Think of shooting with Gustavo as an investment. You are investing in some of the most beautiful images you will ever have of yourself. Photos that will speak to others of who you are as a person. Trust me, this guys got it. You won't be disappointed."

"I was one of the lucky ones to have the privilege to work with Gustavo. WHAT an extremely genuine person with an amazing eye behind the camera! He is the first and only photographer I have ever worked with. Seeing all the beautiful work he has done, I'm more than sure that'G'is the one I will remain to photograph with. I've yet to see a mediocre photo he has taken and I'm positive I never will. Expect nothing less than GORGEOUS WORK with this man!"

~Angelia Gilbert (Client)

"I have had the pleasure of working with Gustavo on a couple of occasions. When I first sat down with him to discuss my shoot, I had already seen examples of his work - his photographs speak for themselves. I knew he had a wonderful eye for his art. What I was not expecting was to meet such a good friend.

Gustavo has told me several times, "I don't like to work with models...I like to work with people." I believe this is the secret to his success. When he is behind his camera, he is always looking beyond a pretty face to try to capture a glimpse of your personality. He will take hundreds of pictures just to get that "aha!" moment where he realized that he has taken the perfect picture. His images capture the honesty, integrity and vulnerability of everyone that has stood in front of his lens. I also must mention his wicked sense of humor...I have laughed so hard at shoots I was practically in tears. Gustavo caught every moment - and he knows that those pictures are excellent blackmail material ;)

For anyone that works with Gustavo -

Get ready to have fun, first and foremost.

Know that you are working with an incredibly professional photographer who will immediately put you at ease and make you feel like the most beautiful person he has ever photographed.

Prepare to make a new friend.

Last but not least, expect wonderful photographs. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."

~ Cheslea Tull (Client)

"I've worked with Gustavo on several occasions and each one he has proven to be nothing but the utmost professional in all respects. He has a way of making the model feel comfortable and at home. The quality of his images and the time that he puts into each and every image keeps me wanting and waiting to see more. If you ever get the opportunity to work with him, you should take it. You'll never be sorry and you'll love the results!"

~Dan Smith (Photographer)

"Gustavo is a fabulous artist. I have worked with him on numerous occasions. Each time he has been dependable, personable and helpful. He puts forth 110with each client and image. He takes pleasure in making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. He strives for perfection. At the end of a session, not only has he made a lifetime client but he has also made a friend. He uses his eye and talent to bring out the beauty in each and every model he works with, and when they leave from a session with him they feel comfortable and look forward to seeing the results. I would recommend Gustavo to all of my friends and family. He is an extraordinary photographer that I look up to and admire."
