Amy Stafford/Eterna Studios/Stafford portraits

Of all the ‘business names’ she runs to the ground, consumer beware, she has many aliases including but not limited to Amy Stafford, Eterna Studios, stafford portraits and is money hungry, grubby shark. She lies and promises many many things but doesn’t give you a finished product, and will bully you after she lies, cheats and steals! Don’t waste your money or time. It’s awful quality and you can probably take your own “portrait” on your phone if you know how to set your timer. I recommend Walgreens one hour photo and yes it will be better quality than anything she can promise.

Amie Stafford, Stafford Portraits, Eterna Sudios HOSTILE SCAM ARTIST!

Amie Stafford is a scam, crook and mediocre photographer, at best, and she's is still actively running this scam in Washington state, Oregon and Florida. I'm trying to recover nearly $3k on top of the $800 donation for a family portrait seating package at a silent auction, as I have done 4 other times with other wonderful Seattle area portrait photographers. She is definitely aggressive, rude and possibly mentally unstable (legitimately). She won't provide pricing, written ANYTHING, won't use email and is very, very annoying to try to reason with. She wanted me to choose my family photos at 6AM Seattle time--she refused to give me other meeting options and does wacky stuff like this, along with telling you all kinds of numbers and prices verbally, so she can go back and gaslight her unsuspecting clients into thinking they agreed to a ridiculously OVERPRICED (especially with her basic-at-best photography skills with her point and shoot settings) package. I am a well-resepcted executive who manages photography for a living, so she messed with the wrong person. I made her verbally, very clearly spell out package details and wrote them down. She then proceeded to charge me a full $1000 more than she quoted me on the phone and I would have NEVER paid that much for her talentless, medicore work! I immediately disputed the charge via text message to her (she won't give an email!) and she refuses to refund my money despite the fact that I did NOT agree to pay a full $1k more for anything, so I told her to stop my order until we had clear order details and a resolution. She has been AWFUL and is harrassaing me--and even had her husband call and make a homophobic slur toward my female partner.

Then she claimed I would not get the full library of images that I very clearly negotiated when I agreed to sign up for a pre-paid $1000 VIP voucher at my pre-session meeting, and tried to go back on that when I asked her to see all of the images so I could select them with my whole family together, She refused and has been a nasty person to deal with. I got the auction board to contact her, but she is now saying they negotiated something else entirely, which they did NOT.

I have NO photos, I have no refund of my $3k, and am also out the $800 portrait seating. I think we need to file criminal charges given how many people she and her husband have victimized.

We had an awful experience with Eterna Studios, by Amie Stafford. We purchased a certificate for a photo session from an auction. Amie charged my husband hundreds of dollars more. Based off of what the certificate said the value was, she made it seem like we were getting a framed portrait, or photo album option with prints. She was very shady about answering our questions about pricing when she showed us our different ‘options’. On the day of our family photo session, Amie Stafford pretended like she was at the location we all chose, and never even showed up. We finally met up with her at a different location. She took a few snaps while her teenage son assisted. So unprofessional! She was very rude, and it was difficult communicating with her. She became aggressive with snide remarks when we asked her for clarification on what exactly we were paying for. When we called her out on not showing up, she began lying about being there, and months later she states she was “lost”. (Pretty sure she just forgot what lie she told us). Five months after our photo session is when we received our 'emailed portrait'. We never even got to see our options from the snaps she took, and there was next to zero communication during those 5 months waiting for our overpriced emailed photo. We were scammed, and it’s been a total nightmare ever since all because I left an honest review. We started receiving phone calls and text messages from her demanding we take down our review and she would “consider giving us our money back”. We haven’t even replied to her and now she is saying we have threatened her. We filed a report against her, and her response is that we didn’t show up. Little does she know my dad works in that area we chose, and he was the first one there early, after work waiting for us to show. We know for a fact she never showed because we were all there waiting. Amie Stafford is an unstable woman with a shady business, trying to hide how it is she treated us.
