I had Shannon do a family photo session with my husband and my 2 children that are 1 and 3. She was…read morepatient with both kids as that like to explore their surroundings. She even brought juice and snacks for my 3 year old. It was an awesome experience to do this with her. Previously I had gone to sears portrait and spent a decent amount of money on photos. This was for me a much better experience as we were not trying to pose and stay in a specific spot the whole time. Shannon played with my kids as she was taking the photos to entertain them and keep them interested. The results of the photos were fantastic and I could not be happier! I will be recommending her to friends and family and continue to have her do my family photos in the future!

Having had the privilege of multiple pictures taken through the years by Kathleen Martin, this is a…read morereview I'm excited to write. I met Kathleen when she was doing LKN Sports photography for the sports and club teams. My son played lacrosse on the same team her son did and it eventually dawned on me that this nice mom on the team was producing some pretty stellar shots of my son and everyone else's sons. I cherish the pictures she shared with me, catching moments in the game that I sometimes missed. As she moved on to senior photography I marveled at the variety of locations and her ability to capture her subjects in places and with props that reflected their passions. Our school had a mandated senior photographer otherwise I would have chosen Kathleen for our senior photos. During the Covid shutdown she brought The Front Porch Project to Mooresville. It was an opportunity to support a worthy charity, Feed NC and also a chance to capture this difficult and scary time, with our families, on our own front porches. I cherish these photos the same way I cherish my lacrosse photos from 10 years earlier. Kathleen has a unique ability to easily get subjects into flattering poses, working quickly and efficiently and even got our dog to smile in one shot! When someone tells me they are in need of a photographer Kathleen Martin is always the name I pass forward. I've seen her work, having followed her on social media for years, and although I rarely give 5 star ratings on Yelp - she is one who has earned it from me. She's a talented photographer who brings out the best in her subjects. Just look at her work and I think you'll readily agree.

Just add more stars and more pictures) She very painful with kids sessions ( it's Hurd) And we berry sorry that she moved and can't do more pictures for us

I did both my maternity shoot and newborn photos with Maryam and both sessions were amazing! I felt…read moresome comfortable which is no small task at 34 weeks pregnant. Not only did Maryam provide everything I needed for the shoot (clothes, props, snacks, coffee, water) but she gave clear and productive direction. My toddler was present for the maternity shoot and I was so nervous that our pictures with him wouldn't turn out well because he was so impatient and restless, but somehow Maryam worked her magic and captured the most beautiful images. I did my newborn shoot just 2 weeks postpartum, on the inside I felt so uncomfortable having just given birth. I felt bloated and tired, and anything but beautiful but once again Maryam captured the most amazing images of my family. Not only would I use Maryam again but I would highly recommend her.

I've seen Anna work her magic making our little girl smile but our last photo session I was shocked and so pleased! Now my daughter is almost 3 and has typically loved visiting with Anna and talking to her! But she had just went to the dentist along with the masks from Covid and she was SCARED. Anna was extremely patient, kind and professional and turned the whole photo session around and my daughter left so happy. I already loved Anna but this made it even more!

Rather than pack everything up and head to a studio that's unfamiliar you can relax & enjoy the comfort of being in your own home for the session. It also helps if you end up hating your outfit or need to fix your make-up! My son woke up a few times for the session when he was supposed to be sleeping. Anna worked her magic within moments he was back to dreaming about cats and milk. :) I highly recommend Anna. We've done our newborn, crawling stage and will be booking soon for 1 year milestone photos.

Beautiful pictures and the only effort I had to put in was showing up. Lauren and her team make the experience so easy and effortless on your part. Received my pictures back in less than 24 hrs.

I actually called around a few photographers inquiring about newborns before I met Lauren. My…read morehistory of pregnancy is sad and complicated so it was a big deal even reaching out to newborn photographers. I told her I wasn't interested in maternity photos, because I was afraid something would happen during my pregnancy. I also hadn't spent a single day during this pregnancy feeling pretty. I ended up feeling brave one day and decided to reach out about maternity photos as an add on to the newborns and Lauren was amazing and so inviting. She was sensitive towards my circumstance and the importance of that cannot be overstated. I was pretty nervous for the pictures. My melasma on my forehead was FIERCE and at 33 weeks I was just not in the best mindset. It all changed when I walked into Lauren's studio and met her! She is the warmest, easiest person to talk to. She had racks of the most beautiful gowns and the most friendly makeup artists I have ever met. I was so self conscious about my entire appearance! By the time the hair/ make up artist was done she had seriously turned me into a new person!!!! I felt more beautiful than I have in YEARS!!!! Lauren was just as fantastic behind the camera, and her excitement when she showed me images during the shoot made ME more excited and confident and it translated into the photos! She was amazing with giving direction and posing and I never felt awkward or vulnerable! She let me sit with her after the shoot and go through all the images and pick what we liked (I relied on her heavily for this) and she walked me through some of the edits she was planning. But even the RAW images were stunning. I was shocked. I've paid for a lot of professional photographers but Lauren is the top tier. She also has an unheard of turnaround time and got me my digitals back in less than 48 hours. Fully edited! I can't wait to get the prints and album. I am so glad I was able to share this vulnerable experience with her. I would highly recommend if you are on the fence to talk to Lauren. She didn't even push me to do this but she took care of me when I decided to do them and I am so grateful. The fact she also provides gowns, hair and make up is amazing and her selection is gorgeous. If you want quality, one of kind, timeless images CALL HER. I can't wait to see her in a few weeks for newborns.

Everything at chickadee is thoughtfully curated into a beautiful venue. They work to include your goals into the wedding day including lavender fields, a beautiful tree, and pony for pictures.
