    My name is Sunja and I came across Mandy's work online looking for a maternity photographer in…read moreWilmington. Really liked the pictures and reached out. Initially she responded and we were supposed to speak over the phone but I never heard back so I followed up. She then did and we ended up speaking. I asked her to send me an invoice so we can lock in the date but she didn't for a while so I followed up again. She then did. Then the week of our scheduled photoshoot I saw the weather wouldn't be good on our shooting day and I texted her to hop on quick phone call to discuss further and potentially see how we can make it happen or pick a couple other shooting day options. Again no response for days who knows if I didn't reach out maybe longer. I reached out a third and final time to request a refund which I haven't received yet. I'm baffled by the fact that Mandy is running a business and lacking basic good communication, I've been repeatedly experiencing a lack of responsiveness in this short time of working together which has left wondering, kind of stressed and certainly taking all the joy out of it for me all while being in my last trimester of my pregnancy. She specializes in working with pregnant people and new moms, I just don't understand the lack of consideration and professionalism. Save yourself the headache and work with another photographer. I wish I did, now I'm running out of time hoping to find someone else to work with for a maternity shoot while still pregnant all last minute. Quite Upsettin!

    Mandy was very nice and pleasant to work with. We love our family photos, she is very talented…read more However, her pricing is extremely costly and she charged an extra $25 per photo after an initial set of only 20 photos! Yikes! It felt like a very bad experience to see all your amazing photos and have them blocked, after a very costly upfront fee. Our family photo shoot ended up costing us $750.

    My family and I have had multiple sessions with Lara E. Photography over the last few years. Lara…read moreis AMAZING!!! Our first session was when our daughter was only 3 months old. Lara was patient through the newborn meltdowns, she was happy to pause and allow me to nurse my daughter between shots when needed, and our photos were absolutely stunning. Our next shoot was another family session with our then one year old. Lara again was incredibly patient and sweet, and we had an amazing session. The third session was our photos with Santa session. First of all I'd like to note that lara's Santa is THE best Santa I've ever seen. But most importantly, Lara and Santa were patient with an untrusting one year old, and even through some tears were able to gain her trust and we got some incredible photos. Had we not left the marine corps and moved home, we'd still be using Lara for our sessions because she is THAT amazing. She is talented, she is kind, she goes above and beyond. And above all, you have a good time with Lara! It's not awkward. It's not weird posing. It's not just another session. Over our sessions, Lara became a friend. My husband, who HATES when I make him do photos, even had a good time. And THAT is saying something! I'd recommend Lara E. photography a million times over!!! She is truly WONDERFUL!!
