I'm an introvert. I don't like to have my photo taken. At all. However, I'm also an author and…read morethere are these pesky things that must be done called AUTHOR HEADSHOTS. Sigh... fine. I'll do one. I love Lawrenceville and the history and the feel, so when I started Googling Pittsburgh photographers, and found one that shoots in Lawrenceville, I thought I'd give it a go. Dawn wasn't the only photographer I used in an attempt to get a headshot that I found even mildly flattering, but her photos are the only ones I use. She made me feel comfortable and understood exactly what I was looking for. That picture over there? My profile photo? That's her handiwork. She's a wonderful photographer-- puts her subjects at ease and delivers a beautiful product. Thanks, Dawn!

Tom (the owner) is an amazing wealth of knowledge and always willing to help his customers! I've…read morebeen a customer for a few years now and have never been let down by his generosity and kindness. If you are looking for a film camera this is the place to go. There is always a great selection and if he doesn't have what you're looking for he can get it for you at a reasonable price. Also he is probably the only place in the area who has darkroom chemistry and equipment. Quick note to the person who added a poor review... It is your own fault for the experience you had. Had you simply gone to the store you would have found yourself in the company of a person who cares about his customers and is willing to help anyone who is keeping alive a shrinking artform. Even a phone call asking about the product would have probably been beneficial and who knows, maybe you would have even learned something.

Full disclosure: I have not been to the store nor have I purchased anything but have access to…read moreonline store for Garcia Marketing Inc. and I am making a comment about their stock of cameras and pricing. I require a camera for work and the easiest way is to purchase through this company. However the selection, while lengthy (64 cameras in total) are all ancient models and at horribly uncompetitive pricing. For example, I had been interested in the Canon G15 model that was released last year. My father had recommended it after using his G10 for a few years. The camera is $500 new. Garcia Marketing Inc. offers the G7, an old model released in 2005 and they want $550 for it. It the same all across the board. It will be more work to get the purchase reimbursed from another source but it will be a far newer product at a cheaper price.

I felt completely comfortable and at ease having her there which is so important when inviting another person to be present at your birth. The pictures she took were absolutely incredible. She managed to capture the true essence of my birthing experience and I feel so blessed to have these photos to look back on. In addition, she is so sweet and thoughtful. I really couldn't recommend Erica enough as a birth photographer!

Erica was our doula for the recent birth of our son and we are so happy we had her as a part of our…read moreteam. From beginning to end, she was helpful, thoughtful, unassuming, knowledgable and professional. Our prenatal meetings were great opportunities to set the tone for our birth, helping us to identify our needs and intentions as a couple while also building rapport. Her attendance at our son's birth was incredibly helpful for both me and my husband. She offered support, guidance and calm and consistent energy when needed. She was never intrusive, always knowing when to step in with words of encouragement and when to be a calm support, letting my husband and I work together through the process. As a sweet bonus, she took some *wonderful* photos as we shared our first moments as a family of three - images we will cherish for years and will someday show our son as we tell him his story. We would hire Erica again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services!

She came a little bit early to set up and be ready when the party started. Her work is gorgeous and quick, so all of our guests that wanted henna got it! She was not only generous in time and spirit, but also knowledge. The culture and art of henna was new to a lot of our guests and Soma spent time explaining it to them. They all left feeling honored to have been part of such a time honored tradition. Soma also gave our guests instructions on how to take care of their art. I would absolutely recommend Soma for your event! I'd love to throw a party just to have her again! We were thinking mehndi and mimosas?! Or mehndi and malbec?
