There are many things to consider when hiring a photographer. Do you feel comfortable with the…read moreperson you are hiring? Do you love their photography style? Do they come highly recommended? Are they quick to communication and precise on their policies and expectations from you as a client? I can say that from day one I felt extremely comfortable with Linda. She has this very natural way of making you feel like you have known her for your entire life. I spent hours looking at her online photos and realized she has invested in her education and spent a lot of time thinking about how to take her shots and what angles and lighting are best. I have personally hired Linda for my wedding reception, a photo shoot for the children I nanny, and for a mini session with my own family. She handled the family dynamic professionally each time. She is always quick to answer my questions, accommodating when I may not know exactly what I want, always sends a very detailed contract so both she and I know what to expect. She is so quick to edit photos and get the product to you. She always does a little blog post (her blog is excellent by the way so follow it). I can honestly say I will continue to hire Linda. I know that when it comes to maternity photos, family portraits or any other photography needs I may have Linda is my go to girl! I highly recommend her, in fact, I just did last week!!

I had a great experience getting photos taken by Judith. I selected her based on her website, and…read moreshe got back to me so quickly when I emailed her. I needed a headshot fast because of a work situation, and I was so grateful that she could set up the shoot quickly. Thanks to great weather, we were able to pick an outdoor location near my home. She has a really nice personality and was very interested to be sure that I would get the type of images I was looking for. She put me totally at ease and took tons of photos with different lighting and poses. She sent me the contact sheet quickly so that I could pick the images I wanted, and then she sent me the final versions, which turned out great. It was all seamless and pleasant (and that's a lot for someone who doesn't like being photographed!). The cost was extremely reasonable and posted on her website, so I knew what to expect. Totally positive experience!

I am not very comfortable with being a model, but Judith put me completely at ease. She knew how to get me to relax, and was a wizard at finding the right angles, lighting, and settings to get very professional results. She gave me quite a fine variety of shots to choose from and I could not be more pleased with the results.

We worked together for months leading up to the wedding; going over photos that I had picked out from magazines and discussing the photography plans for the actual wedding day. They were very patient and got back to me right away. They took beautiful images and listened to my requests for particular portraits etc. They were very professional and treated our guests with respect and patience. It was a pleasure working with them and I highly recommend them.

Amy is professional, warm and immediately makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Amy gave me suggestions for wardrobe, accessories, and interior vs outdoor shoot. I chose interior studio shoot as we were experiencing a heat wave last week. Amy took several photos, 2 wardrobe changes, and several different poses to get the best effect. Highly recommend Amy to any professional in need of headshot.

I have been holding my head a little higher in the days since my shoot, what a confidence boost!!! It was just what I needed and more than I could have ever imagined. It's known to some that I had an eating disorder and body dysmorphia 30 something years ago, for which I sought treatment (back in the day when it wasn't really a positive thing to do so.) The birth of my children made things easier for me to accept myself the way I was and I have kept my negative behaviors in check because of my children, but in the last year or so I could feel my mind obsessing about my flaws and my size, which has been getting increasingly larger due to many health conditions and the inability to work out in any form, including walking. I was browsing Facebook one day and saw a photo shoot that Allie had done and decided it was finally time, even at my heaviest, I thought this would be a good reason to work on my health, I now had a goal. I was so nervous!!! This was so not me, so far out of my comfort zone, but I did it, I booked my session for my 52nd birthday. I didn't actually lose the weight I had hoped to and considered canceling multiple times, but something kept telling me to just do it!!! And I am so glad I did!!! I have never felt more beautiful and confident in my whole life!!! Allie is amazing to work with and talks you through every step. The photos she took really capture the true me!!! There were genuine smiles and real laughs in some of the photos and those were my favorites, they were so real!!! Allie is such a talented photographer!!! She was able to capture the best parts of ME!!! I could go on for days, but basically the bottom line is YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!! I have many times that I would consider to be the "best days of my life", like the birth of my children and grandchildren, my wedding day, the day I survived my accident, etc, and this day with Allie rates up there with them, it was the day I discovered myself and saw myself through Allie's lens, it was the day that my confidence grew by leaps and bounds, and it was the day that I felt my most confident and beautiful!!!

We had planned outdoor photos and it was threatening rain, but a very light drizzle didn't force us inside and Mira got some fantastic shots of three generations of family, including some normally photo-shy kids and some extremely silly ones.

For some reason, I felt like I needed to get the head shot done IMMEDIATELY.. and so, even though it was winter... I arranged with Mira to have a session done at 7a on a cold Saturday morning. It was 11 degrees out. She showed up at a cool (and cold) outdoor location. She was super sweet, and tried to assuage my concerns. I don't know how her fingers didn't fall off as she worked the camera... I was reaching my limit as far as cold, and I don't get cold so easily. But, I didn't feel rushed at all. Even when I was walking like an nonagenarian on the icy ground, she was patient and encouraging. Very approachable and real, and talented, she is. I'm almost wondering if I should hire her again to take shots post haircut and highlights.....

I can even talk about how creative he and the team are with photography. However, his online portfolio, instagram, and other social media platforms will do that for him. The real reason that his team is beyond exceptional is because of their enthusiasm. These folks can all take incredible photos and videos. There is no doubt about it. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and everyone we talked to was blown away by his work. However, we had so much fun working with the whole team. There was not one moment where he and his team were not excited. We loved how enthusiastic they were at all times. It honestly felt like we were being photographed by our friends. Having his team with us on our wedding day and wedding weekend made the event that much more special. They were constantly excited to take photos and never acted like there was a time limit or time restraint for their photography. They went above and beyond for us and did an amazing job of shooting our wedding weekend. Towards the end of the wedding weekend it felt as if they were part of our wedding party. We would not even think twice about recommending this group. They do amazing work, they bring tons of energy, and frankly we could not be more thankful they shot the wedding for us. We look forward to all the success that this group may have ahead.

I must admit I was nervous at first as this is something I have never done before but after speaking with him on the phone just once I felt at ease! He walked me through what to expect, my options and how the session will run. On the day of the session I was nervous at first but after spending a few minutes with Greg I was able to relax and just connect with my baby! Greg noticed I would often glance at my husband and my face changed, he said it was more comfortable and calm, so he had me first look at my husband and then the camera. I was impressed he picked up on such a small thing but that small thing ultimately made the photos so much better! At the end of the session he showed me one photo and it brought me to tears. This was my second and last pregnancy and I'm so glad I have these pictures. If you are considering doing maternity photos I would highly highly recommend Greg!!
