We got engaged in May 2018, and began the hunt for our venue and then vendors. The feedback from so…read moremany of our friends was find a photographer you love -- cool, no pressure. Being from NYC, we didn't know much about the Poconos and Stroudsburg. After some deep, and I am talking DEEP, Google, Knot, Yelp stalking, we kept coming back to these photos taken at our venue of choice by Elle Studios. We stalked her website, Instagram and Facebook and we knew we had to have her. We set up a FaceTime call and knew we made the right choice. Fast forward to September for our engagement photos, Emily made it incredibly easy by picking a beautiful spot in Wind Gap, and walking us through the entire shoot. We felt so comfortable and grateful to have a connection with her; we knew she was there with us but also didn't feel like she was there. Neither of us have previously taken part in any professional photo shoots so we were worried we would feel awkward and uncomfortable, but that was not the case. We couldn't believe how beautiful our engagement photos were and we spent the next 13 months so excited for our wedding. Emily sends a document for you to fill out to ensure you get photos with everyone you need to, keep you organized, and on schedule so you can enjoy all the elements of your day. Emily and her associate, Jessica, shot our wedding on 10/11/2019 at The Stroudsmoor Country Inn at Lawnhaven. We rented an Airbnb for my girls and I to get ready in and take our first look photos at. Emily came up and helped me get dressed -- no like HELPED me into my Spanx get dressed -- alongside my sister/MOH. Emily is so patient and kind. She will laugh with you, cry with you, help you, recommend amazing vendors to you, and capture moments to help you never forget your day. My husband and I are so grateful for Emily, her dedication to her work, and her passion for her work. Our friends and family are blown away by the photos she has shared with us already. We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos from our wedding and what the future holds for Elle Studios!

I have always loved Emily's work, so when a Mommy & Me mini shoot collided with pretty close to my daughter's 6 month birthday, I jumped at the chance to experience her work! Our photos were beautiful...the space was exactly as I pictured it, and her client closet (including wee vintage baby rompers) were perfection. Her recommendation for Trina at Parlor Hair & Makeup Studio was icing on the cake for the gorgeous shots I got to choose from as part of my package. I loved them so much that I bought a few extra files on top of what was included. Money beyond well spent to remember these moments with my wee one.

The employees are all very pleasant and efficient. We arrived for our appointment a bit early and…read morethe wait was minimal. The photographer was really nice and patient. We were there for our sons senior pictures. The only issue we had was the clothing. Our son is a large young man, he wears a 3X to 4X t-shirt or sweatshirt. They didn't have 1 shirt larger than a 3X shirt. After much pulling tucking and "hold your breath " we got the shirt somewhat on him. Then comes the gown, this truly baffled me because these normally run large anyways. They had to take 2 small gowns and drape it over him. By now he is frustrated and completely humiliated. My husband is angry and almost in a rant about WHY? Then because we didn't come prepared for the family picture we had to return the following day to repeat the process. I find it very short sighted to not have at least 1 shirt and gown for larger size people. We are a nation that come in a multitude of sizes and not only up to 3X. He should not have been shamed because he is not within the size range your agency considers normal. I am hoping if we need to use you again this situation will be corrected.

The quality is consistently poor, and the process forces parents to pre-pay before even seeing the photos, leaving us stuck with disappointing results year after year. The photographers clearly lack portrait training -- the lighting, angles, and expressions are all off. No amount of retakes can fix the lack of professionalism or care. These are supposed to be cherished memories, and instead, they're just frustrating reminders of a missed opportunity. If you're considering using this service -- don't. You'll get better results with your iPhone and a little natural light. Save your money and your child's memories.

Needless to say, we had a bunch of photo requests - the "elders", the younger adults, the grandkids and every combination of all of the family tree.

Emily captured many fun, silly candids along with more "formal" shots of the entire family and family units. She was open to any special requests, recognizing the importance of some very special photos. Our goal was to preserve memories of our time together, Emily understood the assignment.
