Caryn Models sent us to John's studio for our daughter's portfolio shots. Luckily we were first on…read morehis list, so he spent generous time explaining the industry and how to get the best shots. Our daughter, 14, is naturally nervous in new situations - but John created such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that she "fell right into place." His studio is super cool, located in a historic warehouse, recently renovated in NE MPLS. It has a rustic, yet fashionable feeling, with neat wood floors and a huge metal door that opens up to a old loading dock. When we left our daughter asked if John would be shooting for all the events in the future. And we giggled. Probably not. But that's what she was hoping for. :-)

I got in touch with John regarding a professional head shot. John is an excellent photographer who…read moreprovides great tips to people new to facing the camera. He was able to get impactful poses out of a newbie like me. Hiring him for a photography session was worth it. He is professional and awesome at what he does. I certainly will use him again.

We've been using Allison for years for family photos and recently she took photos of our daughter…read morefor senior pictures. Our daughter is gorgeous but very shy and hates having her picture taken. However, knowing that Allison was going to be doing it, she was totally into it and had a few styles prepared in advance. When Allison saw our daughter's outfits, she knew exactly what sort of background to use to photograph her in and walked us to some cool architectural buildings to complement our daughter's design aesthetic. The pictures turned out amazing and of course I bought them all (jpgs). Are family is interracial and Allison is a pro at getting the lighting just right for all our skin tones. I give her a 10 out of 5 any day of the week!

My son was dreading having his senior photos taken, but he's so happy with the results! Allison has…read moretaken our family photos for years, and does such a great job of letting the person being photographed shine through. Allison covers the basics you expect (on time, well-prepared, talented!) but really responds to the individual for photos that feel fresh and artful vs something she's rinse-repeating. Allison is our go-to for pain-free, beautiful photography.

Rebeccah is an awesome newborn and family photographer. Simply put, she is the best and we are so…read morehappy to have found her. We have gone to her twice now. Last summer for a newborn/family photo session and more recently a mini session with our son at 10 months. She has a great eye and produces the most beautiful and natural photos. When we first contacted her to photograph our newborn, I had no idea that newborn photography needed to be booked out in advance (first time mom here!). She kindly made herself available last minute, on the weekend, nonetheless, when it was best for our family. Then, during our last session (the mini) she kindly extended our time free of charge as she had a cancellation in the spot after us. After the photos came in and I got knit-picky about how my cleavage looked in my favorite family photo she so very patiently and graciously edited out and made it look ten times better (I could not emphasize just how patient she was with me about this - thank you, Rebeccah!). She incredibly talented and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Shelly did a great job as the photographer for our wedding. Our photos have the perfect level of…read moreartistic interest, balanced with a local flavor (Nicollet Mall, Stone Arch Bridge, crossing Hennepin/Lyndale by the Walker). From start (me primping in my fleece and sneakers) to finish (our wedding dance and party), the photos tell the story of the day beautifully. I appreciated also that Shelly was very low-key and really subtle in her photography. We didn't have a lot of posed, contrived shots that I've seen from other weddings (you know, when everyone looks fake and uncomfortable). The best photos were truly those that I had no idea were taken. I love to look through our book and remember that fantastic day!

We have selected Shelly as our photographer for our June 5, 2010 wedding. I will update the review…read morefollowing the event (only a 4 now because it hasn't happened yet) but I can tell you from her reputation around town and the photos I have seen (quite a few) Shelly knows her stuff. She has a great studio in NE Mpls and is a technology "geek" in the affectionate sense of the word. Always us on the latest photo technology, etc. In addition to weddings she does a lot of images of children/families. We are so excited to see our photos and know we will cherish them for a lifetime. Stay tuned....

She is not afraid to try anything once (thanks for the sparklers!) and they lead to some fantastic shots.

Sarah is very friendly. I didn't plan perfectly, so we were in a time crunch, but she was still chatting and making us all laugh, even though she was setting up the lighting.

From listening intently to her ideas, risking her camera gear to stand in the St. Croix river to get the perfect shots, to supplying a popup tent to accommodate three wardrobe changes, Shannon made the whole process exciting and fun. The photos are incredible - the stars undoubtedly aligned for their collaboration. What resulted was nothing short of magic. Thank you, Shannon, for honoring my daughter's vision, and not just for taking her photos, but for capturing her soul!

We used Jessica for our 1st baby and despite being unhappy with her customer service we were going…read moreto go back for our 2nd because we wanted consistent pictures but she canceled because she was sick. We ended up finding someone else but asked for her info on ordering canvases so they could match. She refused to give it to us and made our new photographer send her the picture so she could order it. Now I've had my 3rd baby and had the new photographer do the pictures and ordered the canvas and it turned out awesome like the 1st one. The 2nd canvas looks terrible and I think Jessica did it on purpose because it wasn't her photography. She is extremely difficult to work with & very overpriced.

Worst photography experience ever!! I have been involved with photography since the age 15 (worked…read moreat a photography studio). I love the art and the creativity. That's why we paid Jessica $500 for one year photo of our child. The photos were something that I could have taken with my camera with the normal lighting. Her studio does not have any props she is rude and not creative at all. She needs the kids to be sleeping or out doors in order to take the photos. We have emailed regarding our expectations, I even sent her a pintrest site where I tagged photos I would like to take. I felt rushed thru the whole one hour. She had another appointment to go to, so she practically rushed out the door!! Advice: There are TON of other GREAT photographers out there with awesome skill set. NOT THIS ONE!!!
