She came right on time and set everything and brought lots of extra props and accessories for us to use. Shooting dogs and kids can't be easy, but she was great with them and we got some amazing shots.

Highly recommend!

I knew it was a long shot for her to have availability a few days before and it was, but she went out of her way to help me find another photographer who could capture our family memories. I wasn't able to book her this time, but I will definitely book her next time well in advance! Thank you Chantell for being so kind!

My husband and I chose Chantell because she was friendly, personable, made us feel comfortable, followed through on communication, and made us feel inclusive throughout the whole process. We chose the maternity/fresh 48 package and the pictures were more than what we could have expected. Granted I was pregnant and still hormonal with a 3 week old, the pictures captured the essence of us as a couple and brought tears to our eyes (and our family/friends). Throughout the entire process, Chantell was very accommodating - bringing the dresses and accessories to my home. She kept in touch, even if just to say hi and see how the pregnancy was going, and she is just an overall pleasant person; someone you can tell has a passion for what she does. Chantell is a gem! I highly recommend her. No need to keep looking elsewhere.

Rebecca did our wedding a few years back, and I just found out she's listed here on yelp. I could…read morenot be more thrilled to give her a stellar review. We picked Rebecca because we adored her style. We were not looking for formal, posed portraits for our wedding; we wanted to capture the real and spontaneous moments of the day that, to us, make it special. Rebecca does this flawlessly. Her photos capture the emotion and feeling of the moment in a really true and honest way. Because we were on a budget, Rebecca worked with us to give us a package that fit our needs at a price we could afford. She talked at length with us about what we were looking for, and made sure to get shots of details we wanted to be sure not to miss. Her professionalism was bar none, and she coordinated with other staff to ensure we got all the photos we wanted just right and without needing us to assist, so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the day. The end result was nothing short of magical. I didn't expect to love the photos from the wedding as much as I do, but my husband and I find ourselves looking at them more often than expected just because they really capture the happiness and joy of the day in such a real way. She got photos of things I would never have remembered otherwise, and they are all so special. I look beautiful, my husband looks handsome, and all our friends and family look so happy. It's such a joy to revisit them. Needless to say, I could not recommend Rebecca enough. I have yet to see photographs of a wedding I think are as high quality as hers are, and working with her was a dream. She is a true artist.

I CANNOT RECOMMEND SAM ENOUGH!!

They really capture and freeze this time in our lives that one day I am going to feel so nostalgic and warm looking back on. Sam was sweet, energetic, patient, and truly present the whole time which is hard to find when looking for a photographer. She took any pose ideas into consideration and the art she made was unforgettable. She also does gorgeous film shots. I will forever be swooning over these photos! If you are looking for a family/couples photographer, this is your sign! Look no further.

I loved how candid it was and didn't feel forced or unnatural, we just got to hang out, have fun, and be ourselves. She captured my daughter's personality so well in the pics! The whole experience was fun and didn't feel like a photoshoot at all. I will always treasure the sweet photos she took!

We cannot say enough great things about Sara! Since our first phone call we felt like she…read moreunderstood what we wanted for our big day and instantly clicked. She is also so kind and patient which made the wedding planning process so much easier. My husband and I are shy people, and Sara made us feel so comfortable and natural at our engagement session. She knew when to let us be ourselves and when we needed guidance which we really appreciated. We were blown away by our wedding pictures and truly feel like she captured all of the emotions that we felt that day. She is great at capturing timeless photos and candids which are my favorites. Not only is she a gifted photographer, her organizational skills and professionalism were above and beyond! She responds to emails quickly and is always available for any questions. She reached out before our wedding day to confirm which group photos we wanted, and her timeline was perfect! The whole day ran smoothly and we're so happy to have beautiful pictures to remember our day!

My wife and I considered no fewer than 30 photographers before we finally chose who we were going…read moreto work with. The decision was the most time-consuming choice we made - every photographer had a unique style, and prices varied wildly. We were meticulous and judicious in whittling down our list of options, enumerating the pros and cons of each. At the time, I took pride in our rigor but in retrospect I find it laughable. I knew from the moment we added Wolfcrest to our list that Sara and her work was the best. In fact, it stood out so superior to our other considerations that to even think of pursuing her as our wedding photographer felt like a guilty luxury. Imagining our own memories framed through the lens of Sara's composition felt so indulgent that we were reluctant to even consider the possibility initially, and so we continued the 'process'. But when we finished our lengthy exercise, every pro and con enumerated, inevitably it only could have ever been Wolfcrest. Now, our photos read like a story book. Wolfcrest elevated our wedding's niche theme to an otherwordly romantic event. In these photos, my wife resembles a renaissance ideal of beauty. Looking at our photos now feels like the guilty pleasure I knew they would be the first time we saw what Sara can do. Thank you Sara.

"Above and beyond" and "beyond my wildest dreams" is how I would describe Melissa Arlena and the…read morebrand photoshoot she did for me. I reached out to Melissa for new website photos. Melissa made time to meet with my website designer to hear her needs and also went above and beyond to find the PERFECT location for the shoot, especially during the winter and during a global pandemic. Melissa got to know me and the brand I was trying to create. She did her research and came prepared with a shot list. During the shoot, she made sure we checked the box on all of the shots I wanted, and there were a lot. I have a complex business with lots of services, and she nailed it. Melissa made me feel comfortable and at home. Getting photos taken can be very vulnerable; her patient and soothing guidance made me feel like I could be myself, and that showed up in the photos. The photos came out amazing. As a former performing artist, I have done many shoots and this is by far the best shots of me I have ever seen. I received the photos back within two weeks, as promised. Melissa took time to retouch everything and remove any "uglies," so the experience of viewing my photos was just as joyful as taking them. She has a great eye and chose her top favorites to help direct my choices. I can't recommend Melissa enough - I will surely never hire another photographer again.
