Our "first grandchild" results were stunning, and the photos have impressed family and friends. Living in Oregon we only wish that we were closer so that we could use her for other photo events.

Missy is an amazing photographer and artist! I recommend her without any hesitation…read more The pictures she took of my 7 month old son are absolutely amazing. Everyone comments on the portraits, saying that she was able to really capture his personality in the pictures. She also took portraits of me and my son that also really capture our relationship. I'm looking forward to future portrait sessions with Missy as our son grows up and our family expands. Missy is a ton of fun to be around. It's easy to relax and have fun while she's masterminding these amazing and beautiful images. She has an unreal ability to find and use the everyday scenery around and translate it into magical backgrounds. Her turnaround time is super quick. And she's great at communicating with her customers. I'd suggest checking out her portfolio and you can see for yourself how fantastic her portfolio is.

The result is outstanding - gorgeous and thoughtful composition with a natural feel. She created a fun environment and then captured the joyful energy. Two weeks after the shoot, she came to our place - with wine, hello! - to walk through the images and then plan next steps. She helped design holiday cards and then patiently guided me through several wall art purchases. The concierge feel to her business style and the incredible product make the investment worth it. I treasure the moments she captured and I love seeing them on my walls. Hire her!

For Christmas, my MIL said that she'd like new pictures of us and the dogs....since the most recent…read morephotos she has of us are from our wedding in 2011. The one and only picture of us on their fridge is from 2007. So, my husband and I decided that we might as well get pictures taken, so we can give a few to my parents, too. I mean, after awhile, it's like what do you give your parents for Christmas? Ours have everything they need. We decided we should get some for ourselves while we're at it. I contacted McKay Photography, mainly because we have known them for a long time and respect their work. We were able to schedule a time to meet one evening and it was nice enough to take pictures outside. This was a casual session, since we do know them and also because these were not formal pictures being done. And, we had two unruly dogs with us! We couldn't have been more pleased with the results and the price. I asked to have some pictures printed, which they did for us, as well as giving us a CD with all of the pictures on them. I am familiar with McKay Photography's work and prices. They are very reasonable, accommodating, and professional. They mostly do weddings, engagement photos, senior pictures, etc. But they were willing to take the time to do a short session for us, just so we have some new pics for the 'rents. Highly recommend! Side Note: I was unable to upload any pictures to yelp, because it said the file was too big. I will see what I can do.

Anne photographed our newborn daughter and I cannot recommend her more highly. We came to Anne…read moremostly to get photos for birth announcement cards to send to family and friends. We also wanted the digital images for our own keepsakes. We left highly satisfied with both. First, Anne came to us through a trusted source - another notable, in-demand photog whom we've relied on in the past for child photography (and who is a writer on the topic for Nikon). Anne was top of her list for Pittsburgh. She lived up to the hype. Booking was easy and mostly automated through the website. She called us to confirm, I emailed her from the delivery room, and she set us up for our daugher's 12th day at a time that worked for us. We didn't just get the kind of soft, airy, elegant photos that you can see over and over and over again in her brilliant portfolio. We got the care, attention, efficiency, and experience that comes from a seasoned professional who works with kids and exhausted parents of newborns every single day. All we had to do was brush our hair and show up and Anne made everything else absolutely effortless for our family of four, including a 1 year-old. We got there, the studio was warmed and ready to go. Everything we needed from lighting to set pieces was just so - in optimal place to take advantage of those precious minutes when both baby and toddler are in portrait mode. She wasted no time getting photos in that golden hour of sleepy baby and manageable older brother. Costume and setting changes were gentle and practiced yet rapid and fluid. The baby never batted an eye or exhibited a moment of discomfort. Our 1 year old really liked her. The result? Not just great newborn photos with a variety of attractive palettes and background options, but also a new family portrait and even a skillfully assembled brother/sister spot featuring the toddler. Other retouching was careful and close - notably removing blemishes and an awkward position. I'll never look so good again. The real kicker here was the amazing turnaround time for all this work. Even with the detailed editing work, we got the photos back in *hours* (8, in fact). (Of course, this drastically beat the promise time, so don't expect it, but wow!). This incredibly rapid turnaround meant that even though our shoot was on a Friday, we were able to order the announcement cards over the weekend and I dropped all of them in the mail to their recipients the following Tuesday. It was 4 days from camera to mailbox. Anne didn't need to be told that we felt the urgency to get these out, she just knew and took care of us in amazing fashion. The package we got from Anne was a great value. For the "Special Delivery" package price, it's a bargain for the top photog for this speciality in the region. We got a large quantity of announcement cards so she also cut us a deal on those. The cards came out just how we'd hoped, with great genuine colors on hearty cardstock. The digital images have an automatic import into Google Photos, which is all we wanted. Highly recommend Anne for your newborn photos, and also recommend booking well in advance.

With two photographers they caught everything we could have wanted and they have very nice equipment so the photos are excellent.

I would highly recommend considering Mountain Empire when you want wonderful photos of any event.

I e-mailed Allison, the owner, and she got back to me right away. She met with me, my then fiance, and his mother to discuss the details and found out more about us. I really liked that she brought another photographer, Melynda, to our ceremony and reception. It allowed for more unique angles and helped bring our photos to life with more candid shots during the posed ones. The team was very professional and very open to ideas, even on our wedding day. Allison and Melynda made us feel very comfortable and captured so many beautiful shots of us and our families. Our reception was at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium- I was nervous that the lighting might be difficult to work with, but Allison pulled it off so well. Everyone is absolutely so impressed with out photos and I love showing them to off. We are planning on booking Allison for a photo session on our one-year anniversary in Highland Park near the Zoo. She said she would love to do so, and we can't wait to work with her again.
