I love that the whole thing looks like *US*. We also happened to book our shoot on the literal hottest day of the summer, and somehow you'd never know from the photos! I was especially blown away by the editing. We shot in DUMBO at golden hour with people everywhere, and she made it look like we had the whole place to ourselves. The photos feel intimate and romantic We love the final gallery and would book Hailey again without hesitation.

Miss Sarit came here for a photo shoot that she had been wanting to do for a while, where I mostly…read morewatched but did however participate in a few. It is located on the 11th floor, and you'll need to be buzzed up. Michelle and her assistant (?) greeted me at the door with a smile and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. I was seated on a large couch and we were ready to begin. Michelle has a number of props to use, and seems to focus on natural lighting (which is probably the best in my unprofessional opinion.) There are several widows lining the studio with a white sheer curtain which sets the backdrop for several of the photos. In addition to this, she has really big expensive lights that she does some pro-looking photographer stuff with. The thing that comes to mind is those Cover Girl commercials where they're doing a photo shoot (duh Michael.) There are also different pattern backdrops and small props such as crazy stripper high-as-hell heels and other cool stuff. Michelle and her assistant will combine their artistic vision + experience with your desires and vision. We saw the untouched up photos today and were happy with several of them. I will try to remember to update this review once I see the three touched up photos, but will probably forget.

Hire Monkeys & Peas! After extensive research for both a maternity shoot and newborn shoot, I…read moresettled on working with Monkey's & Peas. I loved the representation of their work on their website and felt like they would be able to capture the types of images my husband and I were interested in. I put in a request online for information and heard back within 24 hours from Trina. She called me to answer questions and explain their packages. This phone call immediately set her apart from the other photographers I had reached out and I appreciated the phone call as opposed to a form email or the reiteration of website language into an email. Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, we weren't able to work with her for the maternity shoot but as my due date approached I made sure to contact Trina and schedule our newborn session. This is where she won me over all over again. In our conversation, Trina explained to me in detail how the shoot would work and what to expect. I felt immediately at ease when she explained that sometimes the shoots are challenging and if we faced any challenges with the baby, not to panic, she would reschedule to come back on another day. I thought this was amazing and showed her understanding of how to work with her subjects as well as how to manage new parents. She booked two dates with me in accordance to my due date and we planned to be in touch when I delivered. For the shoot, Trina came to our apartment (her suggestion and no extra cost) which helped us tremendously since the baby was only 6 days old! She was just as lovely in person as over the phone - very professional, careful, respectful and so gentle with the baby. She brought with her some props and a backdrop so once we decided on our set ups, we were able to start the shoot. I can't express enough what a pleasure she was to work with. My husband and I both felt totally comfortable with her energy - her skill set was obvious in her handling of the baby and when we needed breaks, she almost seemed to disappear to give us privacy and time to soothe the baby. I knew as the shoot was happening that the photos would be phenomenal because of how relaxed we all felt. Our proofs came exactly 2 weeks after the shoot (as promised) and they did not disappoint. Trina captured some of the most amazing images of our family. I truly loved them all. We are beyond thrilled with our experience as well as the results. I'm so happy that we decided to work with her and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do this type of shoot or other family shoots. I am sure we will work with her again soon.

WOW! Wow! Wow!…read more There are a LOT of maternity and baby photographers out there, but so much of what is offered is pretty cookie cutter. Monkey's and Peas really stood out! And boy are we glad we went with them. What they managed to capture of our family and our daughter was a really intimate view into our lives and her tiny magical world. All of the photos are just drenched in lovely ambient light and have a really dreamy cast to them that qualifies this time of our lives and our baby's. I've never seen my baby laugh so much for so long, Monkeys and Peas knew all the tricks! Both super professional and efficient with the time we had, which are two hard descriptives to apply when photographing babies, M & P guided us towards the right outfit choices, the right places in our home and a variety of lighting situations. Monkeys and Peas has gifted us with the most amazing photos of our daughter and our family!

When I saw my picture previews I was stunned, even before editing. For once the attention was on me and I felt so special. Noelle truly has a wonderful gift and my session with her felt therapeutic.
