Nicole wanted to create an experience that would capture who my daughter is and truly wanted to make this an experience that she would remember. Watching Nicole work with my daughter was so beautiful. It was like she knew my introverted daughter for years. The hair and make up artist made my daughter come alive. Of course we think our kids are beautiful but that day I saw a beautiful young woman come to life. Such a magical day. Every photo was gorgeous. We ordered an album and announcements. Nicole's attention to detail is flawless from the packaging to the final product, you will not be disappointed.

She connects well with teens and is receptive to parent and teen feedback and suggestions. She did a great job capturing all the things we love about Trevor! She communicated regularly and kept an eye on the weather for us. When it forecast rain she rescheduled us with lots of time to firm up plans for the new date. Trevor had a wacky collar in some of his shots and she magically fixed this in post production as well as removed an unsightly chain link fence.

We had to come back in a few days to view the pictures and pick out the ones we wanted. Our pictures came out so good. My baby (11 months) wasn't really able to get the best pictures bc he's a baby and doesn't really do well when I'm not near and he's around strangers, but even then we got a couple good pictures of him and his siblings. I would definitely recommend coming here for anyone looking for any kind of studio photography. They have a bunch of different backgrounds and options. I will definitely be back for more pictures.

I was 8 months preggo, literally 3 weeks before my due date, and I was able to do my maternity shoot and got BEAUTIFUL photos. The gowns guys!!! The gowns are what sold me but after meeting the entire Belly Beautiful Team, I fell in love with them!! Why??? Well let me tell u:: 1) They're responsive to emails, calls, any questions you have. 2) They give you recommendations on what to wear and how to dress it up. 3) Don't know how to work it in front of the camera?? They tell you how to pose and how to smile, where to look, and literally every other detail you can think of like how to hold your gown and where to hold your belly. 4) They provide snacks if you're hungry 5) Karen used to work with newborns so she is very educated on what not only us mommas to be need, but what our newborn needs too. One thing I'm so appreciative of is the fact that they go above and beyond for customer satisfaction. I specifically had an inspiration pic that I absolutely loved and they literally spray painted their couch to recreate my inspiration picture. I was amazed and soo excited. The pictures were literally identical!! We were blown away by our maternity pics so much that we hired her for the newborn session as well. And I'm so glad I did!! I can go on and on but I think you guys should just look at these pics. It says it all!!

We have used over the top production like photographers who provide hair and makeup that equates to exorbitant pricing and also other people who basically told us they can deliver the moon and stars and then the final products fell totally flat. We had very bad pictures taken by another photographer and soon after, I stumbled upon Krista from Maylight Studio on Yelp. I hesitated for a second because we didn't really want to spend more money to redo photos when we just paid another photography company and have the whole inconvenience of everyone getting ready again, having to all be in the office at the same time, etc. but in my gut, I felt like we needed to. Let me tell you...Krista delivered!! We are a pretty particular bunch and Krista took many photos and was able to provide each of us (8 in total) with a headshot we all liked. She also worked with our office setting and provided us with a great group photo, utilizing a piece of art already in our office as the backdrop. She's extremely professional, adaptable, and has a good eye for detail. I would without hesitation recommend her for your headshot and group photo needs. Currently nagging my husband to retake photos and hire Krista as well!

Natalie was fantastic right from our initial contact. Before the session, she thoughtfully went over the various styles I was hoping to achieve, and the wardrobe choices available are truly incredible. During the session, she was incredibly patient with both me, my husband and my dog and guided us through poses so naturally. I received the raw photos right after the shoot and was genuinely amazed; she made my family look absolutely fantastic! The photoshoot was exactly what I had imagined, and even surpassed my expectations. Natalie is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also such a wonderful person to work with. Her studio has a beautiful and extensive wardrobe collection. Last but definitely not least, the hair and makeup artists were amazing as well. I highly recommend getting your hair and makeup done at the studio. I looked better at this photoshoot than I did at my wedding . The entire experience was absolutely worth the three-hour drive, and I would highly recommend Natalie and her team!

She said don't worry about stretch marks/imperfections, they can be fixed From our very first conversation, to shooting, and post communication, Natalie has been very kind, quick to respond, helpful, and professional. Her wardrobe was fantastic! The day of the shoot was worry free! Inna did my makeup and hair. I had some concerns about my belly not being so round, my seemingly always frizzy hair, and my eyes that notoriously smudge with too much makeup, but both women were angels at reassuring me. I felt so comfortable and happy working with them. They know how to boost confidence! I felt cared for, heard, and welcome I had an amazing experience. Her talent behind the camera is truly a gift

She made us feel so comfortable, and even when it felt awkward (what do you DO beside "pose"?!) she assured us it wouldn't look that way, and she was totally right. She also got our photos to us within a few weeks, which I considered extremely fast. (When my brother got married, a different photographer took over 6 months to get their pics to them.) I absolutely love our photos, and am so happy I chose Aurora Studio Photography.

She was a true professional right from the start, introducing herself and calling us by name the moment you arrive at her quaint but classy studio. From the start, she handled the parents, laying down the expectations and the process of getting some keepsake photos of our baby girl and asking us for any desires or input for the shoot. We love our final product! Her naturalistic style is gorgeous! We're happy it wasn't hoaky like some other photographer's albums we've seen... She focuses on the quirks and beauty of your little bundle-o-joy! For those of you who haven't experienced infant photography, it requires some WORK! Kelly handled our baby with amazing comfort and care, helping get her cozy for the shoot. She maintained that gentle touch throughout the shoot, reposing her and re-shooshing her as needed. Get this, she wasn't even phased by the one or two.... ok three times she peed or poo'd during the shoot. Ok I lied, it could've been 4 times ;) We, as a family, recommend Kelly for your baby photos. We will come back to her for more of our baby milestones. She has some clever ideas for future shoots!

Lori was passive aggressive, refused to alter proofs that had watermark stamps stamps covering our faces and canceled a scheduled appointment to review in-person last minute(because again she refused to lighten the watermark stamps on the proofs). I let it go because I'm too busy to deal with it until after the holidays. It's a week before Christmas and she texted me warning she will now have to charge me extra to pull the photos for review.

She is incredibly sweet, professional, and easy to work with. The City Hall photos especially blew us away. They look like they belong in a magazine, with thoughtful composition and natural elegance.

Afterward, she was prompt about getting photos to us and she was very responsive to feedback to make sure we were happy. Her flexibility and openness really impressed us. If you're considering her for your wedding or event: - She has a good eye for candid, emotional moments. - She's collaborative, open to feedback, and genuinely wants to deliver photos you'll treasure. - Her work shows a level of artistry beyond her years of experience. We'll cherish these photos forever, and we're so grateful to Jayme for capturing our day so beautifully. Highly recommend!
