Sarah Cabrera-Hernandez MUA & Photography review: Unprofessional and did not consult client 222

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I did NOT enjoy spending my time or money for my "photoshoot" with Sarah Cabrera-Hernandez. She claims that she has been doing makeup and photos for "years" and that she is "self-taught" but after my actual experience with her, I see that she has a lot of learning to do. She piled on heavy layers of makeup on my face (WHICH LATER CAUSED ME TO BREAK OUT INTO A RASH) and when I got home, my husband was really upset and disappointed becuase my face looked like it was MELTING off. During the shoot, she would pose me like she has many of the other, MUCH THINNER, clients in various uncomfortable and "[censored]-like" poses claiming each time that they were going to be "great". It was obvious to me that she does not know what she is doing and even worse, she is claiming to be both a photographer and a makeup artist who can "make anyone beautiful" when instead she should advertise that she can ONLY make anyone look like a [censored]. You can also tell that she does not edit all of her clients the same, and is selective about who she actually wants to do a good job for. But my biggest complaint is that she did not take the time to actually consider what I wanted and CONSULT me, her client. Her "studio" is actually a revamped attic and the girl who did my hair even complained about her work. Sarah does what SHE wants and the CLIENT has to pay for her "vision".

AFTER RESEARCH, SARAH CABRERA-HERNANDEZ IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER OR A LICENSED MAKE-UP ARTIST. NO ONE SIGNS CONTRACTS AND SHE DOES NOT DELETE HER CLIENTS PHOTOS OR GET PERMISSION TO USE THE IMAGES.

SARAH CABRERA HERNANDEZ DOES NOT SHOW VERSATILITY IN HER WORK AND ALL OF HER MODELS ARE SHOT IN THE SAME LOCATIONS WITH THE SAME POSES.

BUYER BEWARE.

The only reason Sarah is "backed up" is because she is too busy editing her trade shoots or going to tattoo appointments with her nasty sister instead of getting ### done! And now Sarah and Aldo are busy trying to friend everyone's friends to book more jobs!?! Shouldn't your ### finish the work you're already behind on? Her pathetic fb apologies are trash just like she is.

Sarah is doing it again! She wants everyone to feel sorry for her because of her "downsizing" but this doesn't give her any excuses for not getting her work done! She had to know this wasn't going to last. People are already saying she is going back to shine. I hope that doesn't happen again!

Lol yet again she is at it... Pity me people lol it's so funny to how she assumes thing from people too, I wonder why? Guilty conscience? Lol
My friend used to work with her and it's so funny how I noticed that on page 3 they were trying to portray my friend " M.D" Vegas Baby" it's so true that it is probably her writing all this ### too. Hey news flash Sarah "M.D" was busy at her baby shower that day how do I know this? Cause as a true friend I was their! I just informed her about this website, she didn't even know this existed til today, and I put 2 and 2 together so funny your insinuations! grow up little girl.
Poor poor Sarah needs so much confidence boost cause she knows her work is actually ###. what would Sarah do if their was no such thing as photoshop? Would she actually conceder herself a picture taker? Lol I think not. Sarah word of advice: your so called "friends" are just around to get free pictures taken cause you know damn well no one will pay what you want! those are just acquaintances you don't have TRUE friends and no one is jealous of you nor you work cause pretty much anyone can grab a camera, take a picture an photoshop the ### out of it ;0) please do REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS a favor and just stop with all your fakeness we already experience it with your attitude we don't need more with your fake pictures and you should not call your self a " photographer " cause your not, a REAL photographer does not post crap like you do on your FB page.
Now turn around and ask your "friends" for more pity comments " you're amazing, your work is the best, I don't understand..., people are just jealous, blah blah blah" SO NOT TRUE. Nor I'm jealous of your ### work nor your fakeness lol ;0)

Sarah Cabrera-Hernandez PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Since Facebook changed it's privacy settings yet AGAIN, you can probably read this post even if we're not friends. So I wanted to let you know that if you talk ### about me and I find out, I will delete you. Some people get their panties in a twist and make fun of me saying "oh god, you're so cool, you deleted me from your Facebook (scoff), it's just Facebook!"

My answer to that ### is...YES, you bet bet your ### I did. Plain and simple, why the f*** would I want to keep you there if we both know good and well you're running your mouth about me and not in a good way. Look at this way, I'm just doing you a favor since you obviously don't have the balls to just say it to my face. Take care! ♥

I had to post this to show those who are unfamiliar with sch studios the unprofessional and immature rants that she posts regularly. Real professional Mrs. Hernandez. Is this how you react to the truth? Sarah, many of us have will and do tell you exactly how we feel on fb and in person! Stop acting like you DON'T know who the hell we are!

Sarah is setting herself up for all this criticism! This isnt a smear campaign. I can agree with many of these complaints. A photographer should never talk about their personal issues or other clients to paying clients who have hired you for services. Sarah has told the world about Aldo's ongoing cheating, her hatred for his family, her broken friendships, she even talks about her own sisters drama! If she tells everyone she meets about her own family business, then what do you think she says about you after you work with her? And Justanotherone is dead on about how she acts like you're her best friend in the whole world. She throws the love word around like it's toilet paper and yet she can stab you in the back as soon as you turn around. Her life is a soap opera based in the heart of Napa. Not that long ago, she mentioned she was planning on moving to Vegas. Leave already!

I used to be another one of her acquaintances I really never considered her a "friend" cause I knew how she was personally, I find it so amusing how much [censored] she talks about you and can still look you in the eye as if you were the best friends in the while wide world. I used to go over to her place and "play" with makeup being that she never ever charged me. The last time I went to her place she informed me she wanted to do a shoot like old times "play" date I thought ok kool, I get their things go "smooth" and a few days later I hear back all the ### she was talking about me that I didn't pay her or even give her anything as "Sarah Marshall" would say " Bull [censored], bull [censored], bull [censored]" lol
I have worked with quite a few TRUE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS and not once have they brought up their life problems, or even closely open their mouths to talk [censored] about anyone, shows how much growing up you really need to do! Another thing I find ridiculously funny is that if you pay close attention to her " friends" list she is always requesting all the people on your own friends list, example I have some cousins out of state that obviously would know who the Fu!# she is and they are on her friends list, lol wow really you really need to blow up your head with so many friend request that you are the one looking for people awww so sad!
Now "mentoring" her husband I didn't know it was that hard to grab a camera and take a picture? Does anyone else have problems of how to take pictures? Cause I know little kids that can grab a camera and shoot.
What I find more hilarious is how she try's sooooooooo hard to get the pity votes from her so called "friend" by posting crap like " people talking [censored]" and stuff like that so your head can get bigger than it already is to make you feel better who are you really trying to kid? It's so funny how her and her "faithful" hubby walk around town like they are mainstream. Word of advice, you both aren't, you are so pathetic looking and the people that see you are thinking the same.
Warning to businesses if yo collaborate with this couple, don't think you will be in business for a long time these so called "picture takers" come with a lot of baggage and I don't think you want your business ruined.
It's funny how they try to act like they are the kool people in town and everyone in their words "glorifies " them and wishes the were them and that supposively were jealous, hey news flash we are not and we don't! Oh and their so called friends look at the age range they are in much younger then them to make them feel superior and wanted lol such a sad couple.
So if you want your life heard around town go to "SCH Studios or AMH Studios" and you will surely get talked about.
My suggestion is pass these two PICTURE TAKERS up you can get more fore your money elsewehere

I had to register just to make this comment. I am researching photographers and MUA for my upcoming wedding and came across this complaint as I was looking. I just spent about 15 minutes browsing through MUA on facebook and I do NOT understand the buzz that this particular MUA/Photographer is getting. From what I see in comparison, she seems boring and does most of her "work" digitally on phtoshop. Just stop and take a look at some of the other MUA profiles and the wild and creative things that they do without any assistance from ps or any other editing software blows this lady out of the water. I can only imagine what their work would look like with the extra editing.

I see how this works now! Light Coldie, Nicole. and some of these other commentators are "regulars" who comment on just about anything to start their own conversations within complaints. This is a venue to make a complaint, not start petty online arguments to see who is wittier than the other.

To all my fellow Napians, we may love or hate Sarah and Aldo's work, but those of us who have voiced our experiences on this site should continue to do so because it simply is not fair to charge the same if not higher rates for less than quality work. Sarah is not licensed or accredited in any way and Aldo is even less experienced than she is. Sarah has many "fans" but she also has many critics due to her unprofessional practices. This is merely my opinion, but one that I have found to be more common than not.

Hey Light Coldie,
I think it's great that you are a regular member of ComplaintsBoard.com and insert yourself into various boards to share your thoughts, but it is obvious that we, and I say WE because I too am a Napa resident and know several of the clients that have sought Ms. Hernandez's services, are first hand witnesses and clients of her unprofessional and immature antics and business practices. Please understand that I too see that some people have chosen this forum to "talk ###" but there are legitimate complaints on this site as well. What you need to understand is that the photos you SEE on her sites are again her "BEST" shots taken with her BEST models. Many of the women that seek her services for the same images are left with mediocre and rushed images and are not cared for to the degree that she puts forth with these other "semi professional models." As for your comment "The reason she said that comment on Facebook is because someone is carrying on a smear campaign against her by posting lots of negative reviews and flagging her photographs on FB. " again, shows how little you know about the photographer and her reputation. If you are simply a fan, be a fan. Many people are fans of Michael Jackson but it doesn't mean he didn't molest small children. It is your right to enjoy her work, but please don't sit here and disregard the real first hand experiences that frustrated clients have dealt with.

Yours,
Alison

... we would appreciate it if you ask permission BEFORE you save and/or repost our pictures on Facebook or any other site or App. Our work is copyrighted and is our legal property.

Not only are people reposting our work, they're changing the images appearance and are NOT giving us credit.

We put so much into our work and it's completely disrespectful for people to be doing this.

GIVE US A BREAK! Your "work" is not copyrighted and furthermore you are both lame and pathetic! An app? REALLY? When are you two going to see you aren't as "cool" as you'd like to think?

PET PEEVES: Unoriginal, unhygenic, and unprofessional "photographers" who claim to be self taught and offer "the lowest price in town." Another pet peeve, someone who has to give themselves multiple titles in order to fill the void they have inside because they aren't really that good at any of them (Back of hair?!? Really? LMFAO!)

The ones who have the most to say are the ones that really know Sarah and Aldo and the things they do. Sarah thinks she has made friends but the truth is eventually everyone she has called a close friend has seen first hand the real Sarah and aren't around anymore. If she can talk ### about her own husband and he can talk ### about his own wife then what makes any of us untouchable? Napa has some really great photographers that are tailored to provide high quality services and no extra ###. It makes you really wonder about her "regular" clientele and the kinds of people they really are. Their maturity (and many of their ages) are very young and explains why her style is so popular with the pin up wanna bes and Mexicans. As for some of the others, could it merely be for attention? Probably so. If you want real quality then spend the money for a real photographer. Because sch studios just isn't one of them.

Don't you guys hate when someone advertises themselves as a photographer and they are really just a person with a camera. Certainly when you look at a photo, you often cannot tell what level of manipulation was done and nowhere is the level of manipulation revealed. Sometimes though, you can EASILY tell when an image is over-retouched or manipulated and this is what you will find in Sarah Cabrera and Aldo Hernandez's work.

This is less of a big deal when you are creating a photograph for artistic reasons, but it’s damn serious when young girls want to look like models that don’t exist. These SCH Studio models exist of course but their images are over manipulated to the point of fraud. Just look at their ports! All their photos vary, but even the most beautiful women that have shot with Sarah and Aldo are over retouched and almost made to look "plastic" where as other photographers are able to capture stunning shots without the heavy aid of photoshop. And some, including her images of both herself and Aldo are so overdone that when you see them in person, you can't help but stare because it's just NOT what their photos reveal. This is false advertising and this is exactly why you can not trust a fb photographer. I have seen some great images that have lost their appeal after being SCH'ed and others that were mediocre and obviously did not make her fb page. She only rushes and spends the most time with those SHE feels is beautiful, etc. while those who never have their images posted are simply made fun of and robbed of their hard earned dollars. Impressionable girls want to look like these models that Sarah and Aldo have created. They feel bad/sad when they can’t look like these models and beg their parents for money just to attempt to look like them. Rather than having both young girls and older adults (including the "self proclaimed" photographers themselves) embrace their natural God given flaws, they promote fake boobs, sex and pounds of face paint to sell their "style." They even EDIT CHILDREN! If this trend continues, it won’t be long till we’ll be selling anti-wrinkle cream to ten year olds or freckle remover for red headed babies. But people are catching on, they are getting fed up with this manipulation/fraud/cheating.

I am SO GLAD my friend told me about this site! I LOVE IT! Had to contribute because this was on my wall today

"I love what I do! To everyone that has ever made me feel bad with their ugly words...KISS MY ###! ♥"-Sara
"LOL Now what babe? More #1 fans at it again lol!P.S they can kiss my ### too lol!"-Aldo
Professional? Nope.
Well the two of them together have enough ### for the whole world to kiss! Don't believe what you see in the pictures they so frequently take of themselves! Self proclaimed professional folks! It's amusing how hard it is for some poeple to take criticism, how important it is for these same people to be cool when they are in their mid to late 30's and what they will do to make people like them! Most of your "HATERS" would tell you to your faces what we think but we just choose not to deal with you. We wouldn't want your "gorilla like" husband to start beating on his fat chest and making empty threats! Bahahahaha!

Sarah Cabrera Hernandez and Aldo Hernandez are frauds plain and simple! Neither of them are anything near what they claim to be. Professional make up artist, stylist, hair stylist, photographer AND professional editor! (digital darkroom really?) All self claimed with nothing to back up their self given titles! Anyone with an open window and a camera can call themselves a photographer and anyone who wears that much makeup can call themselves an MUA.. What sets real professionals apart is their ability to capture a persons beauty without having to toot your own horn and making fools out of yourselves! Sarahs make up skills are minimal, especially if you have seen anything outside of eyeshadow and lipgloss! She has made several attempts to create open wounds, blood etc that look like crap and soon she will be calling herself a special fx artist too! Sarah and Aldo may continue to fool those of you who don't know them or see them around town desperate for attention but no matter how "lovely" they appear to be, they are both just using your money to line their own pockets

I am a REAL professional fashion model who has worked with several professional photographers around the world, including Victor de Mello and Yanik Dery just to name a few. I am a California native currently based in Los Angeles and came across Mrs. Hernandez's facebook page through a fan. I will recognize that she is talented in her own right, enough for me to feel the urge to research her business further online. However, it is extremely disappointing to hear of the unprofessional conduct that she demonstrates both online and apparently in person. It is evident that those who adore her are close friends and clearly not professionals themselves. Now I do not know this woman personally, but what I can say about her work is that she is clearly still an amateur. Her composition is limited and her need to create several titles for herself clearly proves that she is not invested or trained in any one area. As a model, you must always be weary of those who claim to be experts in several professions. Ask yourself WHY this person has not invested in any specific area and developed their skill to its maximum capacity, or what EXACTLY does "self taught" mean? Oftentimes, when we are starting out, we are naive to whom we seek out to build our portfolios. For a woman who wants to do something special for a husband, or a young girl that wants to play model for a day, I say that she has the talent to give you that style of photography. But if you are investing in a modeling career and wish to one day become someone in this industry, you are going to have to invest in a TRAINED photographer and a CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL MUA with credentials and a good reputation. It's sad to say that comments like these are not only damaging to her future as a professional, but they are equally damaging for her current or future clientele. Reputation is vital in this industry.

Sarah is such a pathetic and sad woman. She is at it again! Business must be slow or she's giving her new "friends" too many free shoots and not making her money because she is in desperate need of ego stroking yet again. So I think it is safe to "assume" that she has finally taken a look at this site and what is being said about her RIGHT NOW and poor Sarita got her big girl panties in a bunch. So she writes this indirect post so that all her fb "friends" can once again come to the rescue and pump the air back in that big head of hers. She writes "blah blah blah you're not cool when you're rude just for the sake of being rude." CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS WOMAN! She blames those of us who have written about her on THIS SITE for making her feel like ### when in fact SHE should feel like ### because she is full of it! And for those of you who are reading this site to determine if you should spend your hard earned dollars on a photoshoot with this trash talking, egotistical piece of trash, ask yourself WHY she deletes the comments from those of us who are confident enough to state our observations to her directly?!? A friend of mine actually told her to follow her own advice and within minutes, the comment was deleted as well as he. Sarah wants you to BELIEVE that she is a good person, that what she does is something that she enjoys and that she is trying to "raise her family" with the income. For anyone who REALLY knows her, not these newbie "friends" who think becuase they shot a few times with her that they are BFF's now, you know that her and her arrogant husband are ### talkers who can't back up anything they dish out. She talks ### about clients who PAY HER to those who DON'T, she thrives off of attention and tries her hardest to be something that she clearly is NOT! And for the record, you may have 4k + friends Sarah but what you don't realize is just how many of them are friends with people that do NOT respect you or that are your "haters". We look you in the face on a weekly basis and smile and grin, but in the end, we all see you for what you are and know what you're about and we are ALL guilty of being FAKE and talking about you behind your back! Even those who say they love you!

So Sarah wants to know why people think she charges too much.Well let's see, could it be that for only a couple of pictures you charge 200 bucks! Or maybe it's because you don't give your clients their original photos on a disc! Or maybe it's because you are not licensed and "self taught" which in the industry means nothing! Could it be because of your lack of originality or your so called "signature" look that cheapens the look of your clients? Ask yourself as the consumer, why are most of her models in their bras and panties? Why does she put on so much makeup on these really young girls and make them look nothing like real life? Think about it folks, how many "models" have been created as a result of these photos? And for those of us who are real photographers and practice the art of photography, it is absolutely disgusting to see someone like Sarah and that husband of hers take honest dollars from people just to glorify sex, violence and now excess. (implied? Guns and blood?) It is your choice to go to these people for services but make sure you do your research. It's not always the cost of the photos. self respect, professionalism and reputation mean much more and it is clear by sarahs obsessive attempts to call herself a stylist, a photographer, a MUA, a professional editor and anything else that will get you to give her money, that none of the things that matter to a real professional are more important than taking your money.

OK, I don't really care for Sarah or Aldo's "style" but I am not impressed with her make up skills either. I have seen her around like 3 times with the wrong foundation on. Arent you supposed to know these things if you are a "professional make up artist"? And when you are at a kids football game, why do you have SO MUCH on? I would say PASS if you are considering going to her for makeup or pictures. If she can't do it right for herself, then why pay her money to do it wrong for you?

ALL THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE MERIT!
Sarah will edit and immediately post photos of her friends the SAME DAY as she has shot them all while her paying clients wait weeks for theirs. She acts like she is "dehydrated" and "rushing to the hospital" every time she gets overwhelmed and needs an extension and now she is adding more to her plate for her greasy husbands "work"! Sarah and Aldo are slobs and if you are friends with her personal page, Chata Cabrera-Hernandez, then you can see that NOTHING is unedited! She even edits her cell phone pictures of herself! So while she is taking time to edit the fat off of herself and BALDO, paying clients are again WAITING for their photos. She thinks because she has 4K+ "friends" on FB that she is becoming somebody? Anyone can be "famous" online when you spend your days and nights REQUESTING EVERYONE! And some of her clients are very beautiful women that she transforms into unrecognizable porn stars! I made a comment on one of my friends SCHStudios pictures just pointing out that it didn't "LOOK" like her and Sarah had to post a stupid response right under mine saying WTF. Real classy and professional Sarah. Now i will give her credit because some of these wanna be "models" (blonde and tatted for example) are NOT nearly as attractive in person as they are in their photos but again, they are Sarah and Aldo's friends so she will go the extra mile to edit them. And the fact that she encourages Aldo to photograph these young girls with heavy makeup and little clothing? Does anyone see a HUGE problem with this?Or what about this advertisement for a Cholo shoot? HOW OLD ARE YOU? Sarah and Aldo are ALL about getting your money. She has screwed over damn near everybody she knows whether they know it or not. She takes on jobs with paying customers but she is still doing photos for FREE with friends! What she needs to do is run a business instead of her mouth!

I know sooooo many people who have gone to this woman for pictures/makeup/etc and she may have been professional at one time but that person is not the one you would meet today. I have heard nothing but bad things about this woman. She is UNLICENSED and UNSCHOOLED which by itself makes it against the law for her to be applying makeup to anybody and she has become sloppier and more unprofessional as time goes by. She takes weeks to edit and send you your pics while promising they will be done within a few days to a week and does not offer any compensation or even an apology, but instead is very rude and will turn to her Facebook business page in a heartbeat to bash anyone who dares question her professionalism. Here is a post that Sarah herself put on her Facebook business page when someone reported one of her images for being inappropriate: "Yet again, image reported and I can't post for 30 days. And to the person on my friends list that is no doubt reading this because you have NO life, you made my day. But one day when you're locked in your padded cell at the State Hospital with a thorazine drip and you look back on your meaningfull life, I hope it was worth it..." DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SOMETHING A PROFESSIONAL MAKE UP ARTIST AND PHOTOGRAPHER WOULD POST ON THEIR PAGE? Not only does Sarah like to bash her clients behind their backs but she does not regularly clean her brushes or applicators! It does not take "talent" to photoshop and edit someone to the point of being unrecognizable. For example, my best friend is the type of person who turns heads when she walks into a room because she is so completely gorgeous. When she did a shoot for Sarah, the pictures came out ridiculous looking! Her nose had been replaced by a michael jackson nose and her body didnt resemble the gorgeous female I knew at all. Sarah is becoming more and more well known for rescheduling clients numerous times, showing up late, canceling appointments less than an hour before the appointment time... I personally know someone who was rescheduled three times and had her first two appointments canceled by Sarah when she was already in the car driving to the appointment. And now it looks like her husband will be joining the "family business". Yay! Yet another person who is "self-taught" and unlicensed/uncertified and unschooled offering pictures. What the woman who wrote the original comment said about the "whorish" poses is true. Sarah has a lack of creativity when it comes to having her clients pose. If you are not thin, or cannot be photoshopped to look that way, then you are told to pose as you would at a Sears department store photography setting. Sarah also has a strong tendency to favor certain clients over others. Its understandable to make friends with clients and to naturally become more comfortable with them but if you are not a close friend of hers or a regular client, you just might end up waiting a month or more for your pictures, which once you receive them you'll see they were edited at the last minute, having your appointment canceled or rescheduled several times, and having unclean makeup brushes used to apply makeup to your face by a self taught UNLICENSED artist. The thing that I find so comical about this so-called photographer and make up artist, is the fact that she will blatantly talk poorly of her clients on a Facebook page where those clients could read those comments and she doesnt even realize that if people reported her to the Comestology Board of Certification she could be shut down and lose everything. Seems a little stupid of her to go around flashing her "self taught" ego and her poor attitude and complete lack of unprofessionalism. But I guess some people have to learn the hard way.

The new pics of Sarah as the model are GRRRRREEEAAAATTT! Please keep them coming! I havent laughed like that in years! Sarah, did you have a good time editing yourself for hours while your paying customers have to sit and wait? We all KNOW you do not look like that and the "shading" around your body fat and the resculpted face, Brava! You look 50lbs lighter!

OVERDONE, OVEREDITED, OVERCHARGED, OVERRATED!
Her work is obnoxious at best! It makes sense if the models are tranny's trying to be the next RuPaul but what she does to these beautiful young girls is disgusting! And what is she trying to do with this husband of hers? Does she want to get shut down having her much older husband panting all over these young girls while they disrobe for what she considers "ART"? ew! And after reading some of these other posts, I see that she is a compulsive liar too? I guess anyone can call themselves a "photographer" these days.
