I had a great experience with Lisa West. She is extremely talented in photography and editing. I…read moreasked her to take photos of my two kittens in the spring of 2018 and they came out perfectly! I would take pictures of my cats with my phone all the time, but I really wanted a professional to take some pictures and just capture the essence of how cute and meaningful they are to me. Unlike phone pictures, they have a great background, are not blurry, and the pictures capture the entire kittens' bodies. Lisa was so gentle and approachable with the kittens and they took to liking her and playing with her right away. It's so hard to have kittens sit still, but Lisa was able to use a brilliant combination of toys and distractions to get the perfect shots. Lisa also spent a very meaningful and extended time with me to make sure the pictures were perfect during and after the photo-shoot date. Best of all, my kittens grew up so quickly, so I love looking back on those old pictures when they were little

I did an extensive research for our engagement photoshoot, looking for someone who could capture…read morethe natural moments of us rather than posing directly at the camera, and I found Lisa's portfolio to be exactly what I was looking for. Lisa was beyond pleasant to work with. Her personality was also very charming which helped a lot along the way, because we were both amateurs at posing. She brought her assistant for our photoshoot, Paul, who was also as charming. I received my engagement photos in the USB last week and as expected, the pictures were amazing. Our families love them too. It's totally worth it to spend a little bit extra money to get all the photos, especially when the work was excellent and the pictures turn out very beautiful. If our wedding was in town, Lisa West would definitely be our wedding photographer. I highly recommend Lisa for anyone who is looking for a photographer that is personable, professional and "super on-time" with her work. I have heard other photographers that promised you one day, but you wouldn't get your photos until weeks/months later, so be careful with your choice because of course, everyone is excited to see their beautiful photos. Thank you Lisa and Paul for all the hard work.

Our "first grandchild" results were stunning, and the photos have impressed family and friends. Living in Oregon we only wish that we were closer so that we could use her for other photo events. Her approach is personal, open and engaging to the needs of the client. Her work with young children is especially impressive. A product that you will cherish for a lifetime. John E.

Missy is an amazing photographer and artist! I recommend her without any hesitation…read more The pictures she took of my 7 month old son are absolutely amazing. Everyone comments on the portraits, saying that she was able to really capture his personality in the pictures. She also took portraits of me and my son that also really capture our relationship. I'm looking forward to future portrait sessions with Missy as our son grows up and our family expands. Missy is a ton of fun to be around. It's easy to relax and have fun while she's masterminding these amazing and beautiful images. She has an unreal ability to find and use the everyday scenery around and translate it into magical backgrounds. Her turnaround time is super quick. And she's great at communicating with her customers. I'd suggest checking out her portfolio and you can see for yourself how fantastic her portfolio is.

Andy did my headshots and some portrait photography, including the one I am using as a profile…read morepicture here on Yelp as I write this review! Everything went perfectly. Highly recommended for studio work of any kind. His shots are well-composed and perfectly lit from every angle. His retouching is like expertly applied makeup - a ton of work and worlds of improvement and you hardly know it's there. Practical stuff was all great. Turnaround time from the shoot was brief, just a couple of business days, faster than promised. No need to send them back for round two or any reworks, he nailed it on the first go. The studio itself was exactly what you want in a working studio floor - comfortable, packed to the gills with all the gear you might need, and messy like the space of a creative person. The space put me at ease and made getting the shots we needed that much more efficient. Communication throughout the whole thing was perfect and quick. For simple portraits and headshots in one wardrobe I was in and out in an easy half hour after starting right on time. In the end I paid for two shots and he sent me multiple cuts of five shots. For what I paid and the quality of work, I got a great bargain. I expect to use these shots for years to come.

There are many photographers out there but few can be called artists these days. Andy is definitely…read morean artist in every sense of the word. His work is timeless, classic and edgy all at the same time. I've used his services for a photo shoot and he was professional, knowledgeable and truly creative. In fact one of the most talented of our time. I'd give him ten stars if the rating system allowed it!

While our wedding day ended up being amazingly wonderful, it didn't start out that way and it stormed for most of the early afternoon! But Jessica knew exactly how to handle everything.

So much prettier than I could have imagined! We are so grateful for their services! You will absolutely NOT regret booking them!

Anna has been helping us with Bucky since spring of 2010. She is…read morevery reliable and great with Bucky. She comes every weekday to give him a mid-day walk and has dog sat for Bucky several times while my husband and I went out of town. Anna is reliable, and always able to help out in a pinch. She also goes the extra mile with Bucky - I can tell that he loves spending time with her and that she takes the time to bond with him. When Bucky was sick, Anna took care of him and even cleaned up after him. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do, and I know Bucky appreciates it. She is a great dog walker all around, and also takes wonderful pictures of Bucky. We are so thankful to have found Anna!

Unfortunately, my experience with Emily as a photographer was not like the positive ones others…read morehave shared. I initially booked her, but due to ongoing construction, I had to reschedule. I communicated this well in advance to give her ample time to adjust. However, when I was finally able to reconnect and try to book a new date, she informed me that her pricing had increased from $1,000 to $4,000 and that this was the only package available. At that point, I simply requested a refund since she said she was no longer offering the original service I had booked. She refused to provide a full refund and instead referred me back to the contract. I asked again, as I had no interest in pursuing a negative outcome, but she remained unwilling to work toward a fair resolution. Because of this, I cannot in good faith recommend her services to others.

Dan was our engagement and wedding photographer and we (and our friends and family) were SO…read moredelighted with the results! My husband Matt and I spent a lot of time online reviewing photographers' websites and grew frustrated as we couldn't find anything that we liked. Many of them had a stuffy, dated look to them. Dan was referred to us through a family member, and as soon as we looked at the photos on his site we instantly knew that we wanted to work with him. His photos are modern yet classic, and truly capture the joy, beauty and intimacy of a wedding day. When we had a phone call with Dan, and then met him in person for our engagement shoot, our expectations were exceeded again. He is very helpful and responsive with calls and emails, and incredibly friendly, down-to-earth and fun to be around. Spending the afternoon around NYC during our engagement shoot felt like hanging out with an old friend, even though we had just met. Dan had the same ease with our family and wedding party during our wedding day, and we didn't even find out until nearly the end of the evening that he had a very high temperature and was sick all day! He's a true professional -- we never would have known. Planning a wedding is a stressful process (ok, at least for women). Dan definitely made the process so much fun and did what he could to alleviate any stress. We highly recommend him to anyone!!!

I knew Dan as an acquaintance via a shared interest nonprofit. Active and passionate about his work…read moreand his community, he seemed like a natural fit for our engagement shoot. I reached out and he was and is very responsible and professional. It's well established that these days, everyone is buying a DSLR and calling themselves a photographer. Mass produced selfie generation, blah. Dan is a true photojournalist -- his pictures follow a story line that he cultivates for the couple and the family. His expertise won't cost a fortune, either. The sweet spot of competence, character, passion and raw talent intersect in his photography. We, new husband and I, are at the age where "everyone" posts their Facebook engagement/wedding/baby photos. Publicly, we have been told by couples that are seriously dating that they will use Dan. Privately, we have been told by married couples that they regret not learning about Dan before their own engagements and weddings. I intend maintain a relationship with Dan for our family photos. I can't wait for him to tell our story as it unfolds.
