After our initial meeting with Ben, we knew he was the photographer for us. He was warm, honest,…read morefunny, knowledgeable, and helped me consider wedding questions I didn't know to ask! He was very supportive and flexible during multiple COVID-19 postponing and flexible with our micro wedding. During the day, Ben was patient and fun! Our guests couldn't believe how many moments and details he managed to stealthily capture-it seemed like he was in multiple places at once! Most importantly, our pictures were absolutely beautiful. Although our portraits were lovely, Ben really excels at candid photos that capture the joy of the wedding. One thing that really struct me about our wedding photos is how many real smiles Ben captured out of all of us. I can't believe both how many silly and sentimental moments he managed to catch and his style is so cool. I would strongly recommend.

Like every couple planning a wedding, my now-husband and I searched for a photographer that would…read moreprovide us with perfect wedding pictures that we'll proudly display for the rest of our lives. In our search, we came across a number of wedding photographs that were banal, sometimes bordering on cheesy, and we knew we didn't want that. Ben Schaefer's artistic sensibility struck us from the beginning. He describes himself as a photo journalist, and we think that's spot-on. Rather than projecting his personality into poses and ideas, Ben thought carefully about how we'd planned our day and which aspects were most important. And from the early photos we've seen so far, we are pleased with his careful eye and aesthetic sensibility. And to top it off, Ben is a joy to work with. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than perhaps any other person (aside from your new spouse), so it's important that you get along. Ben is fun, sensitive, and funny. We could not be happier with our experience and highly recommend Ben for your wedding or any occasion.

I've worked with Isabel for my son's newborn, first, second, and third birthday photos. She is…read moreincredibly talented, and the pictures always turn out beautifully. The photo books are also amazing quality and are keepsakes I'll treasure forever. Isabel is very punctual, professional, and does a great job putting everyone at ease. I don't consider myself particularly photogenic, but she always knows how to suggest poses and capture everyone looking their best while still making the photos feel natural. She's really good with kids of all ages and does a great job capturing the feeling of each event. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful photographer to capture these special moments for my family!

We've used Isabel for all three of our children, and every experience has been truly amazing! And…read morehonestly she's become so much more than a photographer, she's like an old family friend. From our first newborn session almost 8 years ago to the most recent one, she has consistently provided us with beautiful, timeless photos. She takes the time to ensure every shot is perfect, all while making the session feel calm and enjoyable. The photos she captures will be treasured for the rest of our lives. we love how she manages to highlight the unique personality and tiny details of each of our kids so effortlessly and naturally. We've received so many compliments on her work, and we'll continue to trust her with our family's most precious moments. We looked forward to each session with Isabel like a visit from an old friend and we trust her completely to capture these fleeting moment of our kids's childhood. We can't recommend Isabel enough!

I met Sharona as part of a workshop on Phototherapy and had the pleasure to be photographed by her…read more Phototherapy aims to help women with body image issues by capturing their body in an artful way in hopes of showing them that beneath their emotional troubles lies both an inner and outer beauty. I cannot lie and say that I have not at one point in my life suffered with low self-esteem and the desire to lose just five more pounds, but when I signed up for the workshop that was definitely no longer the case. Yet, as Sharona and I chatted about different things, and she eventually took my picture I was immediately at ease with her. She brought out things in myself I didn't realize I needed to feel, and when I viewed the finished work the following day I was amazed that she had helped turn myself into true art. It was not an ego boost, but a self-realization that I went through, and one I didn't even think I needed to go through. After my experience with Sharona, I am a firm believer in Phototherapy. And considering she is a kind, caring, and creative person, any clients who choose to work with her in this way will benefit greatly.

Sharona is a wonderful photographer, and has a true gift for capturing a moment. She photographed…read moreour wedding brunch in 2009, and also did a photo shoot at the spot that we got engaged. I go back to her pictures time and time again, and each time am transported to that happy place. The best part of Sharona's photographs is that she has truly captured the essence of that happy time in our lives. When my husband and I look at those photographs, we see ourselves exactly where we were at that point in time. The photos do not have that "posed" look that is in so many wedding photographs. At our brunch, Sharona also captured so many moments with our friends that we didn't even see at the time! Her photographs of the children present were particularly charming. She truly captured the joy of our special day. Sharona is friendly and personable, truly intuiting what we wanted from the photographs and delivering a perfect product. We are so grateful for her photographs, as they'll always bring us back to that day.

Mel and co were amazing from start to finish - organized, reliable, and professional. I felt so…read morecomfortable during my shoot and Mel gave me fabulous direction. The hair and makeup was also beautiful and exactly what I asked for. The pictures are perfect and Mel took into account the tone and vision I described to her. I would recommend this experience (with Mel, obviously!) to any woman who is even slightly interested - you will NOT be disappointed!!!!! I am so, so happy I did this and I will cherish these images forever.

I was nervous at first (having never done this before), but as we chatted and Marlo worked on my hair and makeup (both excellent ) I began to feel at ease.

I've never felt more confident and sexy.

Nitya helped us capture my brother's graduation ceremony in all its splendor earlier this summer…read more My family has been raving about the pics ever since. She was such a pleasure to work with, and so easily fit into our eclectic family that we felt that we had a friend along to capture the moments rather than a hired talent...which I think makes it all the more amazing. Regarding her work - both the candids and the stills that she captured were fantastic...and what is especially worth calling out is that 2 out of 4 people in my family (and that includes) are what you'd call...step-away-from-front-of-the-camera type non-photogenic people. With those odds, Nitya couldn't have stood much of a chance...but she still managed to make us all look like we were graced equally!! And thanks to you, I don't need to buy my brother another gift for sometime to come (let's see how long that lasts). Looking forward to working with you in the future.

She is very familiar with Boston City Hall and the surrounding areas; our pictures are perfectly composed. She also puts everyone at ease when photographing. During the ceremony itself she got great pics but was also not intrusive to the moment in any way. Would hire her again next time I need a photographer.

With Bella behind the camera, I was able to relax and be in the moment with my guests, and she really knoinccked it out of the park with the gallery she delivered. I could not possibly have asked for better photos -- they will help our family remember this day for generations in a beautiful, emotive way. Since we booked one of her "wedding" packages, there was also an "engagement" session included -- it was a great way to celebrate our family in a more casual way, and for my son to get comfortable in front of Bella's camera (he's at a stage where he HATES having his photo taken, but Bella made him very comfortable). Bella is amazing, and we will definitely be booking again.

Mat gave me exemptory service…read more I needed to get some photos done for my Linkedin profile and wanted a natural setting that was professional, but showed my love for the outdoors. He brought me to a park near Burlington and took pictures where he could meld the background greenery. After I received the photos he melded the background greenery to what it looked like a green mosaic painting. I was very stunned and astonished how he worked the background. What I enjoyed the most was the the corporation and the time he took to find out about me so he could get me into the right mindset and angles so I can come across looking great!!! Thank you.

This was our first family photoshoot since the birth of my two-year-old son and to say that we are impressed is an understatement. In fact, we have already decided to use Mat for future sessions.

I can't believe how great it was to have Kristin do our wedding pictures! (And that I was this late…read morewith our review). I met her at LoveSick Expo and immediately liked her. She's very personable and it was soo easy to have her take pictures. We eloped and did our pictures separately and I was worried there'd be no emotion and it'd look fake. Instead, it was the most comfy I've ever been with a virtual stranger. Kristin is warm, engaging, and so enthusiastic. We were just racking our brains to figure out what other photo shoots she could do for us! The pictures looked incredible and it took less than 3 hours to get them back. Even my husband's mother was shocked at how wonderful they turned out, even without being photoshopped. We were outside, but somehow the lighting was fantastic. This is probably the best choice I could have made.

We could not be happier with our wedding photos even with the last-minute switch from outdoor to indoor formals (thanks, weather). She loosened us up and captured intimate details without making us feeling like we were under a microscope. Kristin's confidence, spunk, and and seamless planning allowed us to relax and enjoy our time rather than stressing that each shot was captured or that the right family members were included. Without a doubt, our best vendor decision of the wedding was going with her.

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!
