I generally don't like having photos taken and I was also apprehensive about having my hair and make-up done - I was nervous that I would look nothing like myself. As it turned out, I had absolutely nothing to be worried about - Rick has the uncanny ability to make you feel 100% comfortable and at ease the second you walk in the door. He has a great eye for bringing out the best in a subject and making sure you are truly happy with the results. He clearly knows his craft exceptionally well and is great at what he does. He provides just the right amount of direction to get you looking at your best - he also has a great sense of humor (and great music taste!) that made for a great headshot experience. Thanks so much, Rick!

I was travelling to Boston with my family for a few days and hired Doug for a fall photoshoot; the…read morefirst one for our baby. Doug was very responsive during the weeks leading up to the shoot and gave me suggestions of the photoshoot location as well since I did not know the area well. He was flexible with the timing as well since it get unpredictable with a small baby. Through out the shoot, he was very friendly, interacted with the baby, receptive to our input on the staging/poses we wanted and gave his own ideas as well. The photos also turned out wonderful; he provided the web link also within a few days of the shoot which was awesome! His prices are also very reasonable. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a good photographer in the New England area.

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

She was great at getting back to me if I had questions, had wonderful suggestions for me along the way having just planned her own wedding, and made working with her fun and easy with lunch dates to plan and sweet surprises in the mail.

She was professional throughout the whole planning process, she came out early to scope out the scene and was perfectly on time and ready on the day of. She was all over the place catching every single moment but she still managed to blend in with the scenery. April loves what she does and it absolutely shows in her attitude and her work.

Our baby was a bit fussy when she got here but she was patient and tried to get as many shots in between his cries, and then while I fed him she worked on setting up shots in the house and patio so we were good to go as soon as he calmed down. Once the baby was milk-drunk, we were able to really go to town and she got some incredible shots in! April was super sweet (she clearly loves babies!) but also really sharp. There was never an awkward moment (like, hmm what should we do next?). She was in charge and we all felt very relaxed as she guided us through each shot. She sent me 5 pictures as a sneak peek a few hours after the shoot and I've been flipping through them over and over all afternoon. Each one deserves to be in a magazine, I swear! I could not recommend April enough. Can't wait to have her capture our little one's big milestones in the future!

The 2 newborn sessions couldn't have gone more differently if they tried and both times, Ann was great and the photos turned out beautiful. I trust her wholeheartedly with my newborns as she swaddles them and puts them in various positions. The 1 year cake smash session was so fun and Ann made everything so easy. She accommodated my color requests and decorated beautifully. I'm looking forward to the next cake smash session and I'm hoping to get Christmas pictures sometime in the next couple of years, too. The sessions are expensive but generally on par with photographers in the area. I don't mind paying for quality, though, and Ann is truly wonderful.

But because of the holidays (even though I contacted them months in advance) couldn't take me in right away until after the new year and by then, they aren't a newborn. My friend referred me to Ann Lyle and I am SOOO GLAD SHE DID. Despite being so close to Christmas, I contacted her anyway just to see and once she told me she had availability, I took it! She has a quick response time and pictures may take up to two weeks. She was able to get it to us sooner. The experience was awesome. She has a new studio in Framingham. There is plenty of parking spaces. The suite is on the L floor. The studio is so pretty! There are so many lovely props and backgrounds and it is so comfortable to not have to worry about anything. Ann is super down to earth and very relatable. From my experience of having many professional photographers from my engagement to wedding to family and to another newborn, Ann is the best! Her photos are so amazing and she made my newborn look like a beautiful princess. You will not regret it! She also offers a mini session which was perfect for us because all we needed were a few great pictures for our wall.
