People are quick to jump online to report that they are unhappy with or disappointed in products or…read moreservices every day. It is not quite as often that we take the time to pour on the compliments or give the highest possible ratings to the people who deserve it the most. My daughter, Lila, recently had the opportunity to be photographed by an amazing and talented photographer named Ian Cowpar (of Saxon Cross photography). Aside from the fact that he has photographed both of my girls before and we have become friends, I feel that if I do not proclaim from the mountain tops that he is EXCEPTIONAL at his craft; I would be doing others a great disservice. I will start with the obvious. Not many people enjoy being photographed. Yes, some do not mind, but generally speaking, most of us are not ready to hop in front of the lens without a bit of anxiety. Ian has a way of working with his subjects that is so disarming and light. He is inviting in nature and actually encourages the subject to actively participate in the shots, looking at some of them as the shoot takes place. It is so obvious that he wants his clients to be completely relaxed and trust him and one would have a difficult time being nervous or anxious due to the way he communicates. He is funny and light yet serious about his craft and precise in his techniques. It was amazing how he captured so many perfect shots without many retakes if any. That is talent. Anyone can press a button, but Ian is watching the set/scene, the natural lighting, the shadows and everything in between. All of this without being the least bit distracted. It would actually be impossible to "get lucky" with that many superior photos and therefore it is more than just our opinion that he is so good (Nobody is that lucky!) He is super-excited, but not hyper. He is swift,but not rushed and his timing is meticulous. Ian is like a one-man band with his "trunk full of goodies". He momentarily ducked into his car emerging with a bright green "pop-tent" so that Lila could change outfits right there on the beach, privately. When she was able to quickly change-she instantly had a brand new look without missing the beautiful sunset. He has an arsenal of lenses and light defusing equipment close by at all time and he switches back and forth producing multiple versions of shots with different effects using shadows, natural light and flashes. He makes it look way-too-easy! Ian's pricing is affordable and fair and he delivers MUCH MORE than what you pay for. He is dependable, prompt, energetic, funny and cares about his craft immensely. The turn-around time was nuts-we were looking at some of the finished work within hours. The excitement we felt through his emails showing us the finished photos would fool most into thinking that he was talking about photos of his own child. I would HIGHLY recommend that you book a session with this GEM of a guy and photographer. You simply cannot go wrong with Ian and Saxon Cross Photography. I have been fortunate to see the work of dozens of his clients and he ALWAYS comes through on top. Everyone is happy and raving about him and his work. We will all need to hire a photographer at some point in our lives...parties, weddings, baptisms, school/senior photos, and family reunions...but once you experience Ian's talents-believe me, you will find more reasons to book a session with him! My husband and I have been lucky to have him work with both of our girls and look forward to our upcoming family-photo which he just put on his books!!

Ian from Saxon Cross takes very good photos and he is very professional and easy to work with. I…read moreuse his services for real estate photos and would highly recommend him. Very good quality photos at a fair price. He can also help with videos and 3D Matterport tours. I can't say enough about Saxon Cross. Give him a call and you won't be disappointed. He also does event photography. I've never used him for events, but have seen his work for weddings and other special occasions and his work looks equally as great as the real estate photos he has helped me with.

For a little girl that loves to be on the move, Ed was able to keep her attention and focus.

If you are looking for photos of your child or family, I highly recommend Ed Pedi Photography!

My partner worked with Waldy Photography for his residency program headshots and the experience was…read moretruly exceptional. We loved that I was able to sit in on the shoot; they have a little fuzzy bench for guests! Not to mention a bathroom down the hall and a changing room in the studio. Waldy's prompt responses, positive energy, remarkable hospitality, and great photos, combined with his personalized local restaurant recommendations, made the experience outstanding. Waldy went above and beyond, creating a relaxed atmosphere that allowed my partner to feel comfortable and confident during his shoot. It really felt like a collaborative experience, with Waldy behind the camera and me helping boost my partner's confidence so the photos felt authentic to his personality. Even without me, I'm confident Waldy would have done an amazing job; his attention to detail and thoughtful suggestions ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience. To find the studio, simply go up the stairs to the third floor; Waldy helped us find the spot. Plenty of parking on-site too. Thanks Waldy for a great experience!

Its hard for me to say enough good things about Leah. First of all, her photography is stunning. I…read morehave worked with several (20+) top photographers over my life, around the world, and she is easily one of the best. She has a great eye! Beyond her stunning work, she is a such a pleasure to work with; quick to reply in correspondence and very helpful in getting you information that will help with other elements of your big day (she kindly introduced me to my makeup artist). When she arrived to the hotel to do our pre-City Hall ceremony shots, she jumped right in to helping me get the best shots...in some ways, she was more helpful than my family who was there to help! Leah was also very generous with her time; she traveled with us to 3 separate locations to get a diversity of shots. Thank you so much, Leah...truly. You really made one of the best days of my life even better!

Piper is gifted when it comes to working with special needs children. What she can get from our 5 year old son with moderate autism is astounding.

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention her partner in life and business, Pat, who is also a spectacular photographer.

From the first interview on the phone Masao was wonderful. One of the few we talked to on our…read moreupcoming wedding that truly listened to our vision. He also reached out to us prior to the wedding to learn about Us as well as our family. Checked in with me the morning of the wedding to let us know he was on the cape and anxious for our day. Upon arriving early to our venue he got a feel for the grounds and started planning his shots, mingled with family, silently jumping all over the place to grab candid shots, and finished the night by driving Joanne and I down the Cape to chase the sunset. Words can't express how grateful we are in choosing Masao for our wedding photographer. Besides pleasing Joanne and I , keeping in mind we have only seen some sneak peeks so far , he was a huge hit with all of our guests. Very outgoing, and a truly sincere person who has a special artistic eye for photography. Anyone looking for a great photographer is crazy not to give him a shot. Sincerely Steve & Joanne
