Lasting Impressions

I went to this studio because my job paid for everyone to be photographed for the company website. Being super busy and not a huge fan of pictures, I was dreading having to go and pouted all the way there. I was seen right on time and as soon as my session started, my entire mood changed! The photographer is so fun and works to get you to relax and just be yourself. He's super patient, personable, and strives to help you get the perfect picture. I really loved it! I'm actually suprised there aren't more reviews as it seems this business has been in Fort Myers for decades. Highly recommended!

I went to Lasting Impressions for professional head shots, and could not be more pleased with my finish product! Dave is a very polite, friendly, and talented photographer that did an excellent job with helping me. Thank you again!

Exceeded every expectation! Read the other reviews, Dave is not only an extremely gifted photographer, he's reassuring and very fun to work with! I went for a professional head shot, he quickly put me at ease, made me laugh, took some amazing shots. His studio is state of the art, the staff kind and attentive, wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Dave Parmelee is a gifted photographer. I needed professional photos made and he did the job in good time. Sometimes a smart phone photo just will not do. Dave will do a great job and the results will make you smile.

I had a wonderful experience with photographer Dave Parmelee. He did a great job on my new business photos, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I've had photographers in the past that were not helpful with my postures and over-edited my photos. Dave understood and followed my company's guidelines to a T, was very responsive, and captured a great photo for me!

I'm so happy I chose Dave at Lasting Impressions to take my business photo. He captured the confidence and warmth I was trying to create in my brand. With music, interesting conversation, soft lighting and easy directions, I felt comfortable in having my photo taken. The whole process was less than an hour, I liked so many of the shots, but with the large screen to view the choices it was simple enough to make a final selection. I recommend Lasting Impressions for your photograpy needs.

What a pleasure working with Dave last week to update my business head shot! As a past customer, I felt confident he would do a great job, but he exceeded my expectations on every level. Personalized, prompt, professional service, and the photos are outstanding--they look like me on my best day ever! Dave brings out the best in his subjects, and I will recommend him to all my clients, family, and friends!

I cannot express strongly enough my pleasure with the portraits provided by Dave Parmelee / Lasting Impressions. An utmost professional! He works with patience and immediately places you at ease. Concerned about specific needs and requests, he desires nothing more than to exceed your expectations. From the son of a professional photographer, I was accustomed to photos. Dave was simply superb.

I was particularly impressed with his method of narrowing down to the "final photos" from all of those taken. You sit in a cozy sofa and see all of the photos projected on a screen on a wall in his studio. The process makes it easy for you, the client, to select the absolute perfect photos. The quality of the finished portraits are extraordinary. You would be doing yourself a dis-service if you do not at least look into Dave Parmelee Photographer. There will be no other for my family and friends.

On behalf of myself and the Team at Gulf Title Guaranty Agency, LLC we would like to take the opportunity to THANK Mr. Dave Parmelee with Lasting Impressions Photography in Fort Myers Florida for the personal and professional photoshoot appointment on 4/9/2016. He spent a great amount of time with each of us as individuals and then as the group, and an even longer time humoring us through the editing process.

We all really appreciate his time and efforts. We received all the photos including the edited ones in record time (a few days) and we look amazing! For me personally this is the first time I've had professional photos taken, and it was a wonderful experience to start with. I look forward to working with Dave again in the future for a personal photoshoot, and when the time comes again for work our office be making another appointment for our head shots and team pictures.

I was referred to Lasting Impressions Photography by another Profession artist to see David to photograph my Shell art for a book that will be published. We met for a consultation, and I immediately knew he understood my vision of the piece to be photographed. My media is "Sailor Valentines",a 8 sided octagon box with a shell mosaic pattern, that r 3-d in appearance. Dave's vision is to understand his subject, he asked detail questions as to what the potential viewer will see in my artwork and how I wanted that person to feel when they saw the Sailor Valentine.

There is a lot of emotion when u see a photograph. It takes you to the moment. It captures your soul. Dave is a incredible gifted artist! His work is amazing! I cant say enough how grateful I am for out standing photographs.

As a retired performing musician I've been in front of more than a few cameras. Never have I been more pleased with the results than I am with Dave's fine work at Lasting Impressions. His images are expertly crafted with stunning creativity and a glorious eye for light and detail. Lasting Impressions is a real gem.

Dave from Lasting Impressions was terrific to work with over the telephone and a pleasure during our photo shoot. We traveled to Naples from NJ for a long weekend and wanted to take advantage of our stay to have family photos taken. We were not familiar with Naples at all or the grounds of our hotel. Dave was familiar with our hotel and the preferred sites for shooting.

He interacted with my young children in a fun and personal way and was very accommodating when breaks were needed for snack time, which was often. We hope we get the opportunity to travel to Naples again soon and capture more shots of our family with Dave's great work.
