Amy's talent is second to none. The photographs we received are classic and their composition will make them stand the test of time. Amy's work is heirloom quality. She can magically capture the emotion of the moment, whether it be tender, joyful, triumphant, pensive. Her ability to be in tune with her subjects makes her work so very human and relatable. Amy tells your story through pictures. I am not sure how, but she does. Amy is beyond professional. She is a joy to be around and her lighthearted spirit puts everyone at ease. Hard working is an inadequate term. She arrives early, stays late, and absolutely refuses to deliver a product that is less than perfect. Topsail Photography will be my family's lifelong photographer, and should be yours as well.

My name is Sunja and I came across Mandy's work online looking for a maternity photographer in…read moreWilmington. Really liked the pictures and reached out. Initially she responded and we were supposed to speak over the phone but I never heard back so I followed up. She then did and we ended up speaking. I asked her to send me an invoice so we can lock in the date but she didn't for a while so I followed up again. She then did. Then the week of our scheduled photoshoot I saw the weather wouldn't be good on our shooting day and I texted her to hop on quick phone call to discuss further and potentially see how we can make it happen or pick a couple other shooting day options. Again no response for days who knows if I didn't reach out maybe longer. I reached out a third and final time to request a refund which I haven't received yet. I'm baffled by the fact that Mandy is running a business and lacking basic good communication, I've been repeatedly experiencing a lack of responsiveness in this short time of working together which has left wondering, kind of stressed and certainly taking all the joy out of it for me all while being in my last trimester of my pregnancy. She specializes in working with pregnant people and new moms, I just don't understand the lack of consideration and professionalism. Save yourself the headache and work with another photographer. I wish I did, now I'm running out of time hoping to find someone else to work with for a maternity shoot while still pregnant all last minute. Quite Upsettin!

If you're on the fence about hiring Erin as your photographer, this is your sign to leap OVER the…read morefence and call her up immediately and book her ASAP. She is PHENOMENAL. Clearly, she is beyond talented and her photographs are the REAL DEAL. I mean heck, just look at her portfolio on her website as well as her IG. Erin's photos for you - no matter what you hire her for and no matter how big the project - will be just as high quality as the shots you see on her website. Absolutely first class. Erin is also an excellent communicator and really works closely with you. She digs into things to figure out EXACTLY what you want and need. I've used Erin a few times for business pictures (nutrition and fitness) and she made me extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. I'm not exactly a natural when it comes to standing in front of the camera, but she was able to pull SO many amazing shots out of me! She also thinks really outside of the box. She's creative. She's NOT going to give you some generic photos that you see everyone else use or have. You're going to get something UNIQUE. I swear, at the end of your photoshoot, not only will you have some awesome photos and memories, but you'll probably want to take Erin out for coffee every single week just to hang out. It helps to work with someone who is engaging, friendly, and encouraging.

I was seriously worried about the pictures and wanted them to be perfect. I do not know why I even bothered being worried. These pictures are AWESOME!
