Her use of light is unparalleled as is her use of nature as the background. Her photographs are majestic, expansive, soft, golden, magical and real. She captures great candids. We have 2 kids and that is always hard but she had several tricks up her sleeve to get the kids to look and she got some amazing shots of the whole family. I just want to frame all the photos she took and cover my house wall to wall =) She's also patient, easy-going and just a overall pleasure to work with. I never share photos of my family on yelp. But I'll break my own rule so you can see how amazing she is.

I know he was genuinely interested in our narrative and clearly wanted to capture the essence of our journey in the most authentic way possible.

During our session, he offered different prompts for poses. He does prefer to take photos close up, but offered to take them however we liked. It is clear he is quite passionate about photography. He pays close attention to environmental lighting, being sure to take photos with correct light. He sent us our pictures the day following our session via email link to the gallery. He does not spend time editing photos. I think they turned out very pretty.

Jessica is absolutely amazing! She took pictures for our maternity session as well as our newborn…read moreson. A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

After looking into a number of photographers in SD, I went ahead and reached out to Lisa. I was…read moreimmediately impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and passion of photography and her knowledge of the area. I mentioned to her that I wanted to propose to my gf on the beach and I knew I had made the right choice when she started to pinpoint the most optimal time to take great photos based on sunlight and low tide hours. My fiancée was late to her own (surprise) proposal! Lisa was incredibly patient with us and made the best of the situation. I had high expectations for Lisa when it came to receiving the edited photos and she completely blew me away! Her work was so incredible and we had our photos in such a short amount of time. Her positive energy made our session so much fun. Don't hesitate to give Lisa a call! She listens to your wants/needs and has the know-how to make it happen. -Daniel

She arrived at the location ahead of time to scout out spots and lighting that would work well for the photos, but she was very considerate to listen to our suggestions and ideas as well. She works carefully with you to determine a location that would provide a nice backdrop for your photo session and she even brings props to add to and enhance your ideas. Once your photography session is complete, Nicole spends multiple hours enhancing and editing the photos so that she can send them to you digitally. Our edited photos turned out AMAZING!!! Not to mention the turn around time to get our photos was very quick. The digital files we received could be easily downloaded to our computers. Taking photos of a family is very personal and sometimes a little bit awkward when posing, but Nicole's calm, friendly, and inviting personality helped us relax and made it easy for us to smile and have fun. I highly recommend Nicole for your all of your photography needs. She is flexible, knowledgeable, reliable, creative and just an overall great person to work with.

She not only takes amazing photos, but what sets her apart is the overall experience she provides. Her talent and expertise clearly show, but just as important is the way she makes her clients feel.

But all we needed was within 15 minutes because she accomplished all the angles and looks that we needed in our head shots. She's that good. A few days later we received a link to the photos. We were able to "heart" and favorite the ones we liked to narrow it down to just one photo. Our packaged included one digital photo. Any additional would cost more. The site was easy to use. Once you select the one, you send it back to Chelsea via the website. The photo had a comment section if you wanted to make note of any touch up. I was particular about the lint showing on the sweater. The next day she had photo shopped to clean it up and it looked perfect.

The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!! Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos!

The more I look at the shots, the more I realize that these are some of the best pictures of me up to this point in time.
