I've never been comfortable in front of a camera, and on the day, I married the love of my life, the wind definitely was not helping. But one thing I can say about Nicolette is that she showed up with every list, every inspiration photo, and every little detail I had sent her. She was determined to get every shot that mattered to me. Even when I wanted to quit, she wouldn't let me. She knew I wasn't comfortable in front of the camera -- and honestly, not always comfortable with myself either. But she said and did all the right things every step of the way. She made me feel beautiful. And because of that, I'm sure I'll have photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Nicolette, for being who and what I needed.

This is a review of the beginners photography class offered, and not of any other services…read moreprovided. Disappointed is an understatement. To preface my review, I had recently purchased a dslr camera, and have read 2 intro books on photography prior to taking the course. The $160 course is marketed as a 6 week session, with 2 hours a session. Roughly 30 minutes of which was dedicated to snack time, and the 6th session had no new material presented. That alone is about 5 hours of the 12 hours paid for that is wasted. The instructor spent roughly as much time either giving suggestions for what equipment to buy (ie. internal hard drives) as he did giving pertinent information to improving photography style. Minimal critique was given on homework assignments, and the pictures students took were often not reviewed until after the allotted class time was over. I perceive that as the work that the class completed was seen as less important than the snack time, but that's an opinion. A model was asked to come in for the 5th session, where the instructor spent 30 minutes conducting his own photo shoot, which proved to be a rather awkward experience. Not only were the students given minimal instruction and critique during their short opportunity to photograph the model, but the model seemed generally uncomfortable with some comments that were made during the session by the instructor. I wholeheartedly would not recommend taking this class if you are a beginner seeking to improve your technique with a digital slr. The alternatives of reading the manual that came with your camera, buying a digital photography beginners book, and searching through youtube tutorial videos are much more cost effective and rewarding experiences. Also, it will save you the trouble and stress of going home and complaining to your spouse after leaving this class each night.

She was all set up and ready to go before we had arrived and had no problem with us needing a few extra minutes to feed and rock our little girl to sleep. Once our baby was picture ready Theresa worked with us to get a big selection of amazing poses all while making sure our sweet girl was safe and calm. She talked to us about the different picture ideas we wanted and worked with us to make sure we got them. She was warm, accommodating and very sincere in her love of photography and newborns. We felt very much at ease with her handling, posing and even rocking back to sleep our sweet girl. Also her selection of backdrops, props, clothes and poses was fantastic and we felt like we had a big selection to choose from for our pictures. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting not only newborn pictures but milestone and family pictures with the newborn done as well.
