I had an amazing shoot with you yesterday and your ideas where amazing! I was glad to step outside of the box and do some projects that I hadn't done yet! Thank you!
[After the shoot but before seeing the results] Hi Dave! I wanted to drop by and let you know that I really enjoyed our first shoot together. You were a complete gentleman and very professional. Your technical skills, professional lighting, quality backdrops, and extensive experience put my mind at ease once we started shooting. You have a talented eye for what it takes to get the best shot possible. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
[After receiving the CD of photos]
I have just started posting some of your photos on my profiles. Thanks so much for being the most organized photographer I have ever worked with! The way you put the photos in the different directories on the disc and resized the photos for web posting is just PHENOMENAL!

I had sooo much fun yesterday! modeling is a dream of mine. I feel at peace when i model! and ur a blast to work with cz u tell me if i am doing something wrong and you know what would work for me. i would absolutely love to do more work with you.
I LOVE shooting with you, you make me smile and I adore your work!! . . . OMG!! I had so much fun at the shoot Dave. You are so much fun to work with and I adore the fact that you are a REAL person, taking into consideration that us models are people too and that we have lives outside of modeling!! I thought you were very professional, yet AGAIN and I loved having you in my home!! The photoshoot set the mood for the entire day and it was a great evening! You are awesome and I cannot wait to work with you again!!
Finally able to look at the photos! great work. I really like the locations. the fabric was pretty and seeing that bull elk at the first spot made for a great start to the shoot! I like how you are prepared for everything with your back back! Glad I could help you think of something else to add!
Great shoot! Thanks for working past all my bruises from my last fight! Had a blast with the lighting effect will be interested on outcome! Thanks Im super excited. Shoot me an email as you edit and sneak me a few? I might die of anticipation. :)
Hey Dave Im so excited I love the pics as always we made a good look for my portfolio, Im also excited and cant wait for the next shoot we can do together again.
Dave! Thanks so much for the shoot—it'll add a plethora of photos to my portfolio for sure, particularly because you let me use a great variety of my outfits and played around with several different environments. I'm sure to get some great shots from the bunch.
Hey Dave Thanks for such an incredible shoot, the background and scenery was exactly what I have been looking for. I'm ssssssssoooooo excited and know we did a damn good job once again cant wait to see them.
[I] really love how you use your lighting. Most photographers do not pay attention with lighting or make it as intense as you did. Also, your studio is set up very nice. :) Thank you for giving me a ride to and from the studio.
Hi Dave, I had a great time shooting yesterday! Your studio was awesome! Great lighting, great lighting effects, some I'd never even used before!

It was fantastic to have the opportunity to work with you again! I am eager to see the images, as I'm sure that we came up with some new and fascinating stuff this time arround. I continue to be amazed at the level of professionalism that you consistantly demonstrate. If you ever need a model to put in a good word for you, feel free to refer to me!
Great shooting with you yesterday! Great studio and set up! Nice to work with someone who is professional and can move along a shoot so you're not there for hours at end. We had a really great time! Thanks!!

[Posted on a public forum on a modelling website] I had a great shoot yesterday with David Arns, what a fun and talented photographer. He has a great place to work, it was fun and easy working with him. Can't wait till the next time.
[After seeing the photos from her very first photo shoot ever, during which she was pretty nervous and not very confident in her modelling abilities ] I'm surprised! I had such a negative idea of how they'd come out, but they came out just fine. Thanks!
I think so far (though I have not reviewed each individual image yet!) the set with the veils and lights are my favorites. I am really impressed with the formal and casual wear images, as I had not expected anything as nice as they turned out. The mirror was a stroke of genius on your part, and I really like how those finished images turned out.
I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with you today. Although I have not yet seen the images, I can't wait to see them as the few I saw on the camera were great. Your ability to work with models, providing the perfect balance of direction and model discretion made for a fast paced and lively shoot. Your professionalism was beyond reproach, you are a true gentleman and a delight to work with! Feel free to direct prospective models to me if they want to talk with someone who has worked with you!
Got the CD. WE LOVE THEM! Can't wait to pick and choose which ones to put up on model mayhem and to print out and frame! Let me know when you want me to model again. I had fun!
Our design guys love you! Just wanted to pass on the high praise from Austin, who is working with your images now. He loves the post work you invested in the shots. They are "clean," he says. Thank you for doing such a good job. . . It means that there are some full page photos of your stuff. :)

Thanks for the shoot on Monday! I had a great time! I can't wait to see how the shots turn out! Talk to you soon!
Heeeeeey!!!!! I had a great time shooting with you. . . Thank you sooooo much for the time!! You're fun to work with, and it was a wonderful experience for me!! Thanks again!!!
Hi Dave! I would pack up half my wardrobe for you again anytime! I seriously enjoyed meeting you and working with you. It seems rare to meet a photographer that can make me feel as comfortable as you did. Thank you so much. I will be taking a lot more away from this shoot than some awesome photos. Take care.
wow david. these are amazing. I'm so truly excited! if you want to discuss doing some more of your ideas i'm yours for tfcd. . . You somehow helped me stumble upon modeling my defining elements which are also the elements i use to define the design company i have been building. . . Gosh i'm ecstatic. . . not to be overly emphatic. . . hehe.
I just wanted to thank you for coming and photographing our little family yesterday. Your pictures are always amazing, and I can't wait to see how these ones turn out. I appreciate all of your efforts. Thanks so much!!
