She took family/engagement photos of us last year with our dogs and they came out so beautifully. I love her light and airy style. Her artistic eye is unmatched. Follow her on Instagram @elliekoleen and see for yourself. She was so sweet to work with and after our photography session, I totally wanted to be her friend. My husband and I liked her so much, we named our daughter after her. Just kidding. (They do happen to have the same name, but she wasn't named after her, teehee). We wanted her to do our wedding as well, but she was already booked for our wedding weekend, womp womp :( Book Ellie Koleen for your photos and you won't regret it!

I felt so comfortable from the start with her and she was incredible with giving direction when needed and making me laugh to break any of my nerves. I am so in love with the final product of the photoshoot and look forward to working with Sara again in the future. For family or personal portraits, and apparel/product shoots, Sara will be my go-to for years to come! Cannot reccomend more :)) Thank you, Sara!

We saw an ad for Lilies & Lenses for some Spring photo sessions and decided since we were in…read morequarantine to enjoy some "Porch"trait sessions. We are a blended family so to have all our children present, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take our first family photo together. Kayla, our photographer, came out to us on an early Friday morning. She was the most sweetest, yet extremely professional photographer! She was super creative with her shots considering we only had our front porch to deal with. We were so pleased with how all the photos came out, it was so difficult to choose which photo to have printed to hang on our wall. Months later, we called on them again for my daughter's 5th grade graduation photos and once again, Kayla came out. This time, we were able to utilize a few more locations for the shoot. Needless to say, she was nothing short of amazing!! She directed most of the shoot (since I trusted her creativity, fully) but she also allowed me to jump in and throw a few ideas around. Once again, I am blown away by how the photos came out. Thank you Lilies & Lenses for helping this mom capture these beautiful memories that will most certainly last us a lifetime!!!

The way Kayla interacted with my very difficult 3 year old was beyond amazing. She was able to get her to pose and even asked my three girls to give their input on how our next pose should be which was a hit on grabing their attention. Words could not express how amazing she was and how great this company is. I received all of my photos within less than 24 hours after being told it could take up to 48. The pictures were amazing and I even requested more and without hesitation I was sent more. The customer service you receive with them is worth every penny. I loved everything! Thank you for capturing these special moments!

Ashley Norton did an amazing job at our outdoor, middle-of-nowhere wedding from start to finish…read more This included an engagement photo shoot that was super creative and involved traveling to two different locations. We also paid her extra to come to our rehearsal dinner and were glad we did. All of her photos looked amazing and came with a ton of thought and care. She captured every moment! She even designed our wedding album a year later when we realized it was never going to happen without her. Our only sadness is that we live kind of far away (it was a destination wedding), so we can't have Ashley photographing the big moments more often!

I found Ashley on Instagram and followed her account through the pandemic. I knew I wanted her to do our family photos. Ashley responded quickly to my emails and even helped with color selection for what to wear. We scheduled the shoot a few days before Thanksgiving. She arrived promptly for the session. There were lots of people and other photographers at our location but she was able to pick a magical spot that was overlooked by the other photographers. She has a good eye for colors and lighting. She had our long list of groupings organized and she easily worked to direct us. She paid attention to making the photo session as easy as possible for my family. My brother in law broke his ankle so she put thought into finding a location he could easily get to. My kids were waking up from a nap and she got them to feel comfortable. Our family is pretty camera shy, but Ashley made us feel comfortable. When it came time to see the photos, Ashley delivered a selection of preview photos within a day or two of the session. I appreciated this because it allowed us time to order Christmas cards. She also got the full gallery to us within a week. I didn't expect her to get them to us so quickly with it being a busy time for photographers and it being a holiday week. I'm really happy with the keepsake photos of my family. I look forward to Ashley taking our photos again in the future.

As soon as I walked in I was greeted and immediately felt at ease. We started with makeup and hair. I'm super picky about how my makeup is done so I was nervous about the outcome. My makeup and hair both came out beautifully. Very classy and not overdone. Throughout the process I felt completely relaxed and comfortable. Taylor made sure to fix every detail during the photoshoot process. From my hair to my outfit, she made sure each detail was on point. I loved the attention to detail that she had. I left feeling completely confident and excited to see the end product. At my photo reveal I was in complete awe with my photos! They were amazing and beautiful. They were both classy and yet still sexy. I was able to pick my favorites to make into a book for my hubby. The whole experience was well worth it. Taylor is a pro at what she does. I'm glad I decided to go with her and can't wait to see my photo book in person.
