Karen is truly something special. We've been fortunate to work with a number of talented and…read morewonderful photographers over the years, but none have been so successful in disarming our daughters and giving them the confidence to be themselves in front of the camera. Karen definitely found her calling with photography. She puts so much behind the scenes thought and effort into her sessions, whether it's outdoors or in her studio with backdrops and props. So grateful for being introduced to Karen!

Loved working with Karen from the very first interaction online. The communication and suggestions…read moreshe gave were terrific, and very professional. She was wonderful during our session with the adults and especially the kids.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful and professional photographer!

I had such an amazing experience working with Lily for my professional headshots! I found her on…read moreYelp and was immediately impressed by the quality of her photography and how professional her work looked. From our very first phone call, I knew I was in great hands. Lily was incredibly kind and accommodating, making time for me in her busy schedule right before leaving for a three-week trip to Asia. She made the entire process so easy and seamless from beginning to end. She also connected me with an incredible hair and makeup artist, Teresa, who did an absolutely beautiful job preparing me for my shoot. Teresa was so sweet, talented, and professional. Together, Lily and Teresa made such a wonderful team! What really stood out to me about Lily was her patience, calming energy, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients. She even helped steam my clothes and offered wonderful professional advice throughout the session. I never once felt rushed, and she made sure I felt comfortable, confident, and taken care of. As someone starting my career in mortgage lending, having beautiful, professional headshots was very important to me. Lily truly understood that and helped me feel confident that I was making a great investment in my professional image. Beyond her incredible talent, Lily is simply a pleasure to be around. She has such positive, calming energy, a great eye for detail, and a wonderful way of making the entire experience enjoyable. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work with both Lily and Teresa. If you're looking for a talented, experienced photographer who genuinely cares about her clients and delivers a first-class experience, I highly recommend Lily! Thank you, Lily and Teresa, for making this such a memorable and wonderful experience!

I absolutely loved working with David! He was very generous with his time and for the amount of…read morework he did it was very affordable. He is very personable and asks a lot of good questions. He had a good eye and suggested a lot of poses I didn't think about. From all my research, professional photographers can be very expensive but I think David's prices are very reasonable for what he offers and I got over 500 pictures to show for it. If I'm in need of another photography session I know who to call!

I found this guy on FB and against red flags with no written contract and not even remembering the…read moretime for shoot, I still went ahead because I needed pics. The whole shoot was constantly switching colors, lens and trying to crack lame, racist and sexist jokes. I somehow hoped I would have something to show for it all, considering he already got 1/2 of his non refundable fee long before the shoot. 2 weeks later no finished products, all stall tactics. The photos sent to me to choose from my clothes isn't straight, tummy showing, bra strap showing, red lipstick on my teeth! What photographer doesn't see and address those things??! I guess he ran out of tactics; here goes the last chain of msgs, threats and insults. I guess you'll be seeing me in court after all.....gasps.....how dare me not being scared. Regardless of the lies in response, time stamps do not lie. I haven't had a call with this man since the photo shoot, so ALL contact is via text; texts that is clearly visible, no thread missing. The bottom line is the only person I need to present FACTS to is the Judge I was threatened with and I'll have the text msgs to show as proof. The court will have access to all my call and text records. I'm here waiting to be sued as threatened because proof is what matters; not who can spin the best tale.

Her studio was easy to find with free and close parking - a must with littles! She had a changing table and everything someone might need.

This was our second year doing a family photo shoot with Amy. Her photos are pure magic. She is…read moresomehow able to get amazing shots of two insane toddlers with no attention span whatsoever who can't seem to sit still at all during a shoot. She is able to put them at ease and draw out lots of laughs, and is so easygoing and kind. She makes the shoot experience much less stressful. It's clear that she really knows the sites she picks very well. Both times, she knew exactly when and where to stand for the best light and shadows and the most beautiful settings. She is so good at capturing truly magical shots where the light is hitting everybody's faces just perfectly-- they look like they belong in editorials in magazines. She does a really lovely mix of both posed and more candid shots. And, if it matters to you, she doesn't use AI to edit her photos. This is all her own skill. Last year, when we sent out our holiday cards using Amy's photos of our family, so many friends and family were floored by how lovely the photography was. Her work really is a cut above. I cannot recommend her enough!

On the evening of our session, she made us all feel comfortable like we were hanging out with a friend. She was amazing with our 4 year old son and Shiba Inu. My son was so comfortable that he started doing his own poses and giving suggestions on how we should pose next. Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!! We would highly recommend Amy and will turn to her for our future photo sessions!

We had an excellent experience with Jenny Dee Photography. Jenny and George (Jenny's husband and…read moreassistant photographer) were communicative and helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding reception. Their template for our "desired and must-get" photos list was very helpful for organizing, and our phone conversations with them were great for figuring out what we wanted and hammering out logistics. On the day of the wedding, we had morning activities and an evening reception. Jenny and George were on time and enthusiastic for everything. They were flexible as our schedule shifted slightly throughout the day, and they were very active in making sure we got all the photos from our list. Now that we have the final photos, we can also say that we are thrilled with the results. Great candids, great staged photos, and we really like the editing style. Overall: would highly recommend for your wedding or event.

Our experience with JennyDee Photography was excellent from our initial emails all the way until we…read morereceived the final photos. Jenny and Geo (her husband and assistant photographer) are very responsive, professional, and committed to providing you all the shots you want. My husband and I hired JennyDee Photography for both our Engagement and Wedding photography and we could not be more pleased. We had multiple calls in the months leading up to the wedding to align on what we wanted, discussed the overall wedding timeline, and provided the list of shots we wanted. Their website also has example timelines for photography, which were very helpful as we planned our day and allowed us to not compress everything too much. Working with Jenny and Geo is also a great experience. They are organized, funny, kind, and encouraging -- they will help pose you as needed, but generally allow for a very genuine capture of the day. They are also very organized and will help keep things moving efficiently without being overbearing -- I could trust that they would get all the shots we needed without feeling like I needed to check in, and both posed and candid shots were phenomenal. Finally, all the photographs we received from JennyDee Photography (in less than a month!) are joy and whimsy personified. They managed to capture the color, vibrancy, and happiness of that day in the photographs -- I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I reviewed the gallery. The photography and editing style is so vibrant, genuine and fun in a sea of very muted photography nowadays-- I will lovingly look at the pictures for years to come. I could not recommend them more highly. Photo Credits: @JennyDeePhotography

Laurel is SUCH an artist. If you're worried about disrupting your newborn to get good photos, DONT! Laurel really takes her time, she has the room so warm and cozy for your baby, soft music playing and a sound machine going. Just when I thought she couldn't be more of an artist I realized that she is also a baby whisperer. It you're hoping to capture the most beautiful photos of some of the most special moments in your life, USE LAUREL. Cannot speak highly enough. I also want to note that Laurel is SO easy to work with. She does such an amazing job to help guide the shoots, telling you where to look & how to pose. She takes all of the work out of it and makes it a truly enjoyable experience! I wish I could give her more stars. 10/10 recommend!

Adi is a miracle worker. I am a photographer but was a little anxious, given my son is strong willed and already refused to do photos once. Adi explained how she does it and was very flexible and patient with my son. We took a few photos and then took a little break. My son then came back a little later and took some more photos. By now he was putting his feet where he was supposed to and listening to Adi's instructions. Not even 24 hours later my son's photos were ready and I fell in love. I couldn't have done any better than Adi did at capturing my son's true essence. We look forward to taking more photos with Sandbox in the years to come! Thank you to Adi and her amazing team!
