The ease in set-up, communication, and the photographs were top notch and very professional. Her keen eye for the setting, time of day, and artistic impressions were spot on and I am thrilled with my photographs. I plan to return for a full website package with her in a few months. Totally worth my time and money.

Carolyn has an absolute pleasure. Let me start by saying she is one of the kindest people I have…read moreworked with. She's extremely flexible and understanding, which is crucial during the newborn phase as a new mom. As far as the photoshoot itself... when we got started, my husband and I were extremely anxious. Our daughter and two pups are not the easiest to work with and the house was still chaos by the time she came to our house. Her calm demeanor immediately made the experience more enjoyable and relax. She never rushed anything and allowed us to do whatever we needed to calm our nerves down. She is so professional and is wonderful with giving instructions by making you feel good in front of the camera(especially someone with self confidence issues as myself). I'm so thankful and will certainly hope to do a photoshoot with her annually!

She also allowed our session to go longer than we booked so that I could breastfeed when the baby needed breaks. Also she edited every single photo for those little baby acne bumps or cradle cap. Tammy is such a terrific photographer and person. She also has a little one and knew some tricks on calming baby etc.

She immediately made us feel comfortable, was flexible with our schedules and was willing to go the extra mile every step of the way. We were able to have both an indoor and outdoor portion and she was even able to recomm nend a makeup artist. As far as the work, her portfolio speaks for itself. She has a true eye for capturing joy and frames her shots in a way to really immerse you in the experience- a strong mixture of tight close ups itermixed with grander full frame shots. She also just made the experience extraordinarily fun and memorable which after all isn't what we're all really looking for? I recommend her whole heartedly and hope you enjoy your experience as well!

I recently had a photo shoot done on Duke's east campus with Zoe Litaker. I was nervous before the…read moreshoot, as I am not one to normally love my picture being taken. I told Zoe about my nerves and she made me feel quite at ease. Her style is professional and yet her warm and friendly personality shines through. I quickly felt comfortable and knew I could trust her. A week after the shoot she met me at a local coffee shop. I was impressed with the time and detail she clearly had put into editing the shots. She showed me a spread of her favorite pictures on a laptop and helped me talk through and decide on which were my favorites. I would highly recommend booking her!

Once I became comfortable and realized there as nothing to be worried about, the photoshoot was SO fun! Zoe has knowledge about dance and that shooting so much easier because she knew what would look best and which moves/poses would look nice in the setting we were shooting. She was really helpful in developing the photoshoot with the ideas I already had! Together, we came up with some really cool shots (which I am SO excited to see). It was amazing to see what happens when a passion for photography and a passion for dance come together! She has such a creative eye that made for a great outcome. If you are looking for a dance photoshoot, make Zoe Litaker your first call!!! You won't regret it!!

Her magic is in her kind, warm, bubbly personality...it makes you feel like you can truly be yourself, which can be tricky when someone is staring at you with a camera. Carrie truly loves what she does when she's behind the camera, so it makes the time you spend with her fun. Her energy and warmth are infectious! Carrie captured the most precious moments for my husband and I for our engagement photos, she also took our wedding photos at the Seattle courthouse last spring which turned out beautifully, and this fall she will be taking our wedding reception photos in my home town, and I can't wait. My husband and I have done the whole engagement-wedding thing in a very non-traditional way, so hiring Carrie was the perfect choice because she won't give you cookie cutter pictures. Carrie is imaginative, playful, and spirited...her images reflect her creative flair. Our pictures were romantic yet very personal, she captured the best moments! I think it's safe to say, we love Carrie! And all of our most special moments have a theme that is unique to Carrie's eye.

Carrie is personable, amazingly talented and will for sure capture real, meaningful moments that…read moreyou will treasure for a long time to come. She is bar none the best photographer we've worked with! We've now had several sessions with her, and I can't truly express in words how much we appreciate the work she's done in capturing these events/moments for us. For example, we booked a newborn session with her, however after giving birth to my son and having a difficult postpartum experience, I was not exactly in a place where I felt awesome about myself, and definitely did not feel up to being in front of a camera! I really only wanted pictures of our newborn son and some with my husband and son. She gently convinced me otherwise, and I have to say I'm so SO happy she did. I was amazed that although I didn't feel particularly stunning or camera ready, she captured beautifully simple and authentic interactions between a mother and her newborn son. It didn't matter how I looked/felt, the pictures turned out beautifully and those happen to be my most treasured of us. She is a mother of two herself, so she was so very patient with working with our little one! She takes pride in her work, and it shows in the final product. You will be elated!
