Also used her for a mommy and me photoshoot. My toddler is almost impossible. I was so scared we wouldn't get any good pictures due to her stubbornness and inability to actually sit still. Adrienne definitely has a way with kids and made it so fun for her! The pictures came out beautiful!!! I will use North & Oak over and over again!!

She also had the patience although busy to answer any questions I had. Adrienne also assisted me in obtaining photos at a local house that has so much meaning to my family throughout my childhood years and even now! I have an amazing house portrait inspired by her as well that I don't even want to take out the plastic covering. Make Adrienne and North & Oak your top choice for any photo needs. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

The shoot went great, she was super receptive to what I was looking for and immediately knew how to get the affect. On top of that she's just a great human, making the whole process enjoyable.

I had trepidation about having a headshot done but Vail calmed my nerves and the session was great! I'm SO happy with the finished photos! If you need a professional headshot, hire Vail.

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

Are you looking for a funny, fabulous, feisty, and professional photographer to capture your…read moreperfect portrait? If so, I recommend Tara Jones to you with my highest confidence. If you're looking for hum-drum, definitely don't pick her. Tara did a portrait shoot with me and my wife which I needed for my professional profile. She picked the location, gave us some tips on what to wear, and put us at ease about the process before we even showed up. But Tara in person was even better. She made us laugh and relax and forget, in the best way, that we were having our photos taken. We had a great time, laughed a lot, and all the while she was capturing all sorts of hidden gems. And that's probably what sets Tara apart. Granted, I haven't ever had a professional portrait shot before, but what she captured from our time together was something I couldn't have anticipated. I feel like she captured my "best self" on the camera. I was thrilled with the results and I use the photos she took of me on all my most important profession online profiles. And I feel proud of it. I know that might sound a little weird. Since I rarely feel really great about photos of myself. But she really delivered the goods. And the best part was that I had many options to choose from. She gives you a whole gallery of photos from which you can choose the ones you like best. Then she does subtle touching up to bring it all to another level. I couldn't be happier with the end product. In fact, the whole process, which I imagined would be kind of awkward and painful, turned out to be fun and enjoyable. Personally, I think It's natural to be on the fence about something like a portrait. You're not sure if it's really worth the money, time, and effort. So maybe like you, I was on the fence with it for a while. But let me say now, if you are on the fence like I was, jump off. Tara will deliver the goods. Why, because every time I look online and see the picture of myself that she took, I feel great about it. I don't feel ambivalent at all. In my opinion, that's the kind of confidence and satisfaction that's worth the money. Because think about it, we all judge each other on first appearances. It's human nature. And now, I feel like whenever I make an important connection online, I've already put my best foot forward. In my opinion, that's priceless.

It's important for my online presence to be distinctive and unique, while maintaining a cool professional tone. Tara gets this right. I love Tara's work because she has this amazing balance of style and naturalness. So many posed portrait shots look cheesy and staged, like a high school yearbook photo. Tara's gift is to get you to be unselfconscious so the best of you comes out. And she does with a beautiful command of light and texture. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!

Jackie really got into the joy and positivity of the event, and interpreted that feeling through photos. We will cherish them forever! We would absolutely hire Jackie again!
