I cannot express how grateful I am to have chosen Lauren as our wedding photographer! From the…read moremoment we met, it was clear that she was not just there to take photos but to enhance our entire wedding experience. Lauren was incredibly organized, providing valuable advice on timing, poses, and even handling our timeline to ensure everything went smoothly. On the big day, she seamlessly blended into the background while still capturing every special moment, and we are sure the results will be breathtaking! Yes I am writing this review without even seeing our wedding photos because that is how confident I am!!! Lauren has such a warm and friendly demeanor that made us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Lauren Powe is your person. Highly recommended!

I had some scheduling issues where I needed to change the date of our newborn in house session twice, and she was extremely accommodating and understanding. I was highly impressed with her work and her ability to capture our lifestyle pictures. She is so patient with newborns and took all my pictures requests and then some! We ended up buying almost double the amount of pictures that were included because we loved her work so much! I would highly recommend Jess Elaine Photography to anyone searching for a photographer!

I purchased two sessions from Rose and was dissatissfied with her attention to detail, her…read moreturnaround time to get photos back and mostly her complete failure to deliver the 11X14 print she promised to send for purchasing two sessions. (I purchased a session for my family and another for a soon-to-be mom as a gift). After repeated attempts to reach her, Rose stopped responding. What's interesting is, when you book a shoot with her, she immediately sends you an invoice for full payment -- like within minutes! Sadly, she does not have that same sense of urgency with regard to customer service and follow through. Simply put, she takes nice photos but for the price, there are much better, more professional photographers out there. Use at your own risk.

**DO NOT USE. FRAUDULENT**…read more When our planned photographer canceled at the last minute, my husband and I found Rose Alene Photography on Craigslist, and hired her to shoot our son's 5th birthday party. Everything seemed perfect - Rose was available at the last minute and able (for an additional $50.00) to make the trip from Naperville to Glenview (where the party was). She arrived, seemed friendly enough, and took pictures. After the party she informed me that she would have the photos unloaded within two days (wow - super fast, I thought) and a disc with the images would follow shortly via the mail. After two weeks, I had yet to hear anything from Rose or receive the pictures. I called her and send her an email - just checking in (my husband and I didn't mind waiting for the pictures, but had been hoping to use an image as our thank you notes). I did not hear back. I called and emailed her again, and this time I received a short email back saying she had not gotten my messages, but the disc was in the mail. The disc never arrived. My husband and I have contacted Rose numerous times (via email and phone), filed a complaint with The Better Business Bureau, and contacted a lawyer (as a last resort). We have no pictures of our son's fifth birthday and are out $250.00 - and yet Rose Alene continues to post Craigslist ads and update her website.

Since shooting our wedding in 2014, she has shot our daughter's newborn, six month photos, and first and second birthday photos. We've also done a full family photo shoot with my extended family and photos of my dog with her. She's got a great eye. I've never over been disappointed by the photos I've gotten back. She's responsive and professional, and she's got just the right amount of not taking herself too seriously.

Sara helped me pick the outfits out that I wanted to wear and did such a good job of making me look like I never have before. My husband adored the pictures and tells me he still looks at the ones that we purchased from the Google Drive I would say that, even if you are scared or think that you aren't good enough pretty enough, you should definitely give this a shot at least once in your life. It's nice to be pampered and treated like a princess and that's exactly what they do. It was 100% worth it to do this and make me feel so much better about myself. I sincerely recommend going to Sara for this, her work is comparable and beats some of the photographers in the city.

One word, IMPECCABLE!!!! Lauren is a true artist and has an eye for creating beautiful art! Her…read morewarm presence makes being in front of the camera feel comfortable and effortless. She will help pose you and makes sure to get all the right angles!! She will do whatever it takes to get the right angle and background. She showed us a sneak peek of our photos and we were blown away! She made my husband and I feel our love through her lens and I cannot wait to print these images so we can adorn our house. If you are looking for a photographer, Lauren is THEE ONE!!! One word of advice, BOOK WITH HER NOW! I am back with an update!! We received our photos today and we were speechless! My husband and I flew from San Diego to Chicago so Lauren can capture our photos and we are so glad we did! She is immaculate! look at the art she created! These are just a handful! They were all stunning!!

After stumbling upon Lauren Ashley Studios via social media a few months ago and looking through…read moreLauren's incredible portfolio of work, I knew I wanted to try to book her for my upcoming photo shoot. Lauren is extremely talented. She provided a lot of direction, which I was hoping for, as far as how to pose and where to place my hands, how to walk, where to look, etc! Her vision and creativity is really impressive. She was very professional and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. It's easy to see that Lauren is really passionate about what she does, and it translates into the finished product. One of the biggest things for me was the fact that she does not have any hidden costs. A lot of photographers add things in on the back end for additional fees; Lauren did not do that. She and her team were very clear and straightforward, which makes a world of difference! I was also very impressed with how quickly Lauren responded to my initial inquiry. I have just been continuously dazzled throughout the entire process with Lauren and have already recommended her to friends of mine. VIP service the entire way, and on top of that, Lauren is just such a kind-hearted, patient, lovely individual! She made any stress I had dissolve immediately! Better book Lauren while you still can!
