After thoroughly looking for photographers for over a month, we're glad that we discovered Melissa…read more She was extremely responsive and made herself quickly available to connect via video chat to discuss our options. We were hoping to get photos done before our son's 1st birthday and she was able to provide us with a great date/time option. We really lucked out. On the day of our shoot we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The drive to the studio was beautiful and worth it - we drove from over 30 minutes away. The studio was immaculate and ready to go for our time together. Her prep email was extremely detail oriented and let us know exactly what to expect. Once there we could easily see the setups and there was a perfect place for us to finish getting ready. Even though we brought most of our outfits she also offered an additional one for us to use and it photographed so lovely. Lastly, the cake smash session was literally the icing on the cake. She has a wonderful referral that made the most beautiful cake for us. Our custom banner was EXACTLY what we were looking for in terms of colors and vibe. She got our son to warm up, have fun, and capture his personality. Melissa's patience, professionalism, strong communication via email/text, and warmth was much appreciated as first time parents for our first shoot. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

I would highly recommend Melissa Hartigan Photography! She took our maternity photos and they are…read moreabsolutely beautiful! She helped me pick out a lovely gown from her collection of maternity gowns to borrow for the photo shoot. She was even so kind to reschedule a gown try on when I accidentally missed the appointment! She put my husband and I at ease during the photo shoot, choosing a beautiful location and knowing what poses to suggest to create beautiful photos that we will forever cherish. We couldn't be more thankful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for maternity photos!

Went to JCPenney Portraits the Saturday before Easter for toddler photos. The staff and bunny were…read morevery nice, and the pictures seemed great but unfortunately, they were never saved. Instead of being honest, they had me wait around trying to "fix it," and I spent the next week getting the runaround with no clear answers. I was eventually told the photos were likely gone and nothing could be done. Mistakes happen, but the lack of transparency and communication was frustrating. I'd recommend going to a professional photo studio instead.

Kat Loughery Photography made my wedding day incredibly memorable from start to finish!! Kat and I…read morehad numerous discussions about my vision and she even met with me at our first look spot to fully embrace what I wanted captured! Communication was easy whether it was through email that included a bunch of questions or a simple text message asking for feedback or an opinion. As soon as we solidified that we would be using Kat's services I was able to share my pinterest board with her and she continued to check in on what ideas I continued to pin. On the day of our wedding she pulled out a binder full of all the photos I had pinned. I loved that she was always on top of it! I booked Kat with two other photographers for around 8 hours of service. Within my package it also included an extra mini photo shoot. I asked Kat to do a secret boudoir shoot with me and although not part of her normal requests she accepted with ease! She made me feel so comfortable during that shoot and created a small album I was able to gift to my husband on the morning of our wedding! It was incredibly special and made me feel confident and sexy to gift to my husband! On the day of the wedding, all three photographers showed up on time and began shooting in the hotel rooms, capturing the little details of my jewelry and personalized champagne flutes. They captured candid moments between my bridesmaids and I and especially with my mom. My mom is such a strong woman and when she gets emotional it is usually a big deal. Kat and her team did not miss a beat and captured those moments for me to look back on! Throughout the day of our wedding, Kat's team was with us every step making each moment continuously special. They froze on the rocks at Lighthouse Point Beach so my husband and I could capture a unique first look experience. We all may have been cold, but I will NEVER forget the memories of all of us laughing together pushing through the chills (and tears!). During some group shots on the carousel they laughed with us during an injury that happened to one of the horses feet! Complete accident, but made for a story to tell in the long run. The ceremony was captured in just the way I asked including accommodating the hard shot of being behind my mom, step father and I to get the shot before we walked out. The reception photos were endless of our guests and my husband and I interacting with family and friends. They captured such FUN memories and even a romantic moment of my husband and I embraced in the love of the day slow dancing with everyone else on the dance floor. Not to mention there may have been a lift or two throughout some of the song choices! By the end of the night I asked what Kat and her team what they were still doing there and they said they were having so much fun! It truly made my night! To this day, Kat still answers my texts and will send any requests I may have whether it's a photo turned from black and white back to color or just simply a quick edit. Thank you SO much for everything and making our greatest day of our lives that much more special!

My wife and I were married in October and Rocco and his photobooth attendant Cheryl were fantastic!…read moreCommunication with Rocco throughout the process was excellent, and the portal on his website was so helpful. It was so easy to plan all the different music to be played during the ceremony, cocktail hour/dinner, and reception using his portal. On that note, Rocco offers a 'Photo Blitz' option on the portal and it was one of our favorite decisions of the night; we still hear from guests telling us that they had never participated in something like before, but that it was fun and such a great way to get photos with all the tables. I don't want to spoil all the fun so make sure you ask Rocco about it! Come wedding day, Rocco set up his equipment quickly and cleanly, and played all the music we asked for perfectly! He also read the room great, and changed the music genres to suit the people on the dance floor while still staying within out requested music list. Rocco's audio equipment sounded great, and the lighting was just what we were looking for. Cheryl ran the photobooth for the evening, and had a great selection of props for guests to use. Not only do the guests get copies of their photobooth photos, but Cheryl gifted us copies of the photos in a special way that we continue to look through and laugh at the memories from that night! We thoroughly recommend Rocco and Cheryl for weddings, or really any event that you're looking to have great music and fun photos of your guests. Thank you again to Rocco and Cheryl!

Not only were were pleased, but so many of our guests complemented him too. I would hire him again in a second and recommend him to anyone!!
