KC photographed our micro wedding on August 5th! She was amazing and the photographs are very…read morespecial! KC felt like another member of the family.

It's impossible to see everything that's happening at your own wedding - so KC's photos helped fill in the spaces for us and will be special to us always.

Lauren is simply spectacular at what she does and her confidence shows through in her work. I loved…read moreseeing the photo examples she put up on her website of past clients which gives a great overview of what to expect. While I'm not sure if Lauren focuses on just animals or life events like weddings also, this review is just about her pet photography. We began emailing each other to set up a shoot with our six month old puppy before he gets older and can no longer capture his youthfulness. My wife and I talked about locations we were interested in, one of us wanted water shots and the other in the grass. It was Lauren who suggested we go to the beach where we could get both types so that is what we did. After a little back and forth with some scheduling conflicts on both ends, we decided on a weekend which likely works well for most clients. We received a list of do's and don'ts before the shoot that was super helpful. Items I had never thought of like bringing his favorite toy as a distraction to getting to the site early and running off a bit of energy so it'll be easier for the dog to settle down and take photos of. Upon arrival, we met in the parking lot of our agreed upon location and headed out on a cold evening around sunset. We had been there for about a half hour beforehand to do what she suggested and it worked wonders on settling our pup down. While it was tough to get him to look at Lauren at times, she had along her own bag of tricks including toys and a whistle so he would pay attention to her and not his owners. We tried all sorts of different locations and poses of him and it worked like a charm, even if I had to jump in and entice the dog with a treat. I've seen some previews and I'm very happy with the session, we are moving to a planning phase of buying some canvases and prints to put all around our home with an in-person meeting scheduled to review the proofs. Lauren uses another local studio to get the prints from. I highly recommend her for a very particular type of photography and if you need any excuse to look at some adorable animals to picture what your dog (or cat? or hedgehog? or billy goat?) may look like in high quality shots, simply check out what she has up on her website.

Cynthia not only made each person feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, she also captured the very essence of their souls and their journey. The images she produced were amazing. Our calendar project was a success. Since then, Cynthia has photographed four fashion shoots for my leather clothing and jewelry business. She has exceeded my expectations every single time, always capturing the look and feel of my products and expressing my art in ways that truly represents the artist that I am. She is professional, artistic, creative, an out of the box thinker and a problem solver...she makes it happen with excellence. Hire her. You will be more than pleased.

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!

We were booking pretty last minute but we really wanted some good fall foliage in our photos, and Stephen was able to squeeze us in on a Friday morning and it was perfect. We booked a 1 hour session at Cider Hill Farms and ended up taking photos for an extra half hour with an outfit change and we had such a good time! Stephen was so friendly and relaxed during the shoot, and even though it is a very busy season, he was able to get us our gallery from Oct. 28 just under three weeks later. The gallery we received is absolutely stunning. The foliage and the lighting were perfect on the day of the shoot, but Stephen was really able to capture both, and colors in our photos are unbelievably beautiful & exactly what we were hoping for. The gallery is easy to use, easy to share, and easy to download from. We are really grateful to have these photos and would absolutely recommend Stephen Grant Photography for anyone in the area!
