Product reviews...
I was lucky enough to win a competition hosted on Michelle's Fantasy Art Facebook page. I was thrilled and excited to see that I was the winner and could not wait to get into talks with Michelle, so she could create that special piece for me.
Michelle contacted me immediately both outlining what it was I had won, along with what it is she does, and what all is included. She then asked if I had a theme in mind as the theme would determine what kind of photo/s I would need to supply her with. Not really having a theme in mind, and not being 100% sure on what kind of themes Michelle could work with, I contacted her with my concerns.
Michelle was so easy to work with, and after I expressed my concerns, she asked me a few questions about my daughters favorite animals, things, and colors. And from those wee few questions and my answers she had the theme sorted that same day. I was super impressed. From there I just had to supply a small selection of photos (Michelle advises the ideal poses/ lighting/ backgrounds etc that will work best with the chosen theme). And then she puts on her creative hat and produces the most amazing works of fantasy art, starring your very own children (or friends and family, pets etc).
I highly recommend Michelle to everyone who wants something different, unique or exciting for their child. She is professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. I have seen many of her final pieces and they truly are amazing.
***Due to personal events beyond my control shortly after, I never sent the required photos to Michelle, but I know her work is amazing***
When I heard I had won the competition for a photo to be turned into Fantasy Art by Michelle I was pleased as I had the perfect project for her. My 7 year old daughter's sweet dog had been put down the week prior and I really wanted something special for her to remember him by.
Communication with Michelle was easy - she asked me to pick out a range of photos both with the dog and without the dog - in something pretty if I can. She informed me that the picture of her and the dog was not a problem and that she had some great settings that she would be able to work them into.
My daughter is a gentle, sweet kid so I tried to pick out some photos of her showing this side - the ones that came to mind were taken at my wedding. When I sent them through to Michelle she emailed me straight back saying she would work on them ASAP.
When I got to work the next morning they were in my inbox and WOW I was so pleased with them - yes them, she did TWO for me. Both of the pictures are just stunning - one of her leading a Unicorn and the other with her Dog Boss by a pond - both with her impersonating a fairy.
The quality of the pictures are wonderful and I have printed them both onto photo paper and am intending on framing the one of her and the dog for her Dad and her for Christmas.
Michelle was easy to work with and really professional. Definitely a product I am going to recommend to others and will also keep Michelle in mind for anything I need in the future.
Thanks Michelle and Thanks KIWIreviews.
Purchasing the fantasy art off Michelle was a pleasure, old school service with an artist's commitment to their work meant that I got a picture that I was incredibly happy with! After I had made contact with Michele through her website I quickly got an email back that outlined what she needed to commence work. Michelle gave a great outline of what it was possible to create, and worked very quickly - a twenty four hour turn around to provide me with everything I had asked for and more. The process was impressive; the emails were friendly and open to any feedback I wanted to give.
The thing that I really admired was after I had signed off and agreed on a picture - two versions were sent, Michelle found something she wasn't happy with and altered the picture, sending me another version. That's a real commitment to customer service, and something that I wouldn't associate with an online business as it is faceless and sometimes I think that makes it easier for companies to not value you as a customer.
I was really happy with my finished fantasy art work; it was exactly what I had asked for. I have girls so we went for the fairy theme, but I researched Michelle's work and saw some wonderful examples of what it's possible to create for boys. This is definitely a product I will recommend to others in the future.
Having two young daughters I was so excited to be given the opportunity to trial Michelle and her Fantasy Art.
My three year old absolutely loves fairies so I knew automatically what theme to go with. The process is so easy - you email her photos of your children in different poses and she does her 'magic' and transforms them into whatever you want.
I emailed 13 photos of the girls in various positions and within 24 hours she had emailed back the finished results. So easy!
The hardest decision was what photos to select. She sent back two different shots for both girls for me to choose from.
Its so simple!
Michelle emails the end result to you which I have since put onto a canvas for Christmas Pressies (thru one of the deal a day companies)
I liked the photos of both of the girls so much I got her to do another photo with both girls together including a unicorn, butterflies, rainbow and waterfall. If you are not pleased with the end result or you want to change something you just inform her and she adds/subtracts/changes until you are happy. She didn't mind and was very friendly throughout the process. The extra photo I wanted only took two days which is fantastic as its just in time for fathers day.
I really liked the convenience of the whole transaction - the fact its all online is an added bonus, as can send to people without having to worry about scanning it or worried the picture could be wrecked. I have saved to a file and know I can always access it which is great.
One of the aspects of the photos I really like is my eldest daughter was dressed in white and her favourite colour is blue so Michelle changed it for us and made it look fuller. My youngest daughter was in a purple skirt which I didn't think looked very fairy like and Michelle made it more so. She can pretty much do anything that you like all you need to do is ask.
I like the finished touches to the pictures and will definitely use her services in the future.
