With everyone being able to take photos with their phones these days, I found that they are never…read morethe quality I want for large family photos. Lillis Werder has a gift for capturing the moment and the personalities of the people being photographed. Especially for families with children and pets. Her photos are perfectly focused and the lighting and backgrounds compliment the people but do not detract from them. Many years of experience and an eye for the final results made her our best choice for a rare sibling photo. Lillis is easy to work with and it's a non stressful, relaxed experience. She also has years of experience doing photography for foreign governments, businesses, real estate, travel and event photos. I really love her photos of rodeos, cowboys and epic travel destinations. Look at her Esty shop and webpage www.Lillisphotography.com. That's where I found several pieces that are now on my walls too. She uses the very best printing available and highest quality paper or canvas for many, many years of crisp, non faded photos. We've all seen family photos from chain photography studios that faded to a reddish tone hanging on grandma's walls. That is a product of cheap processing. Better results cost a little more but a well done photo will be enjoyed for generations. And for once, I was in all the photos instead of behind the camera.

We happily choose the plan that provides us the most photos because I know there will be so many great ones, I don't want to have to choose. On picture day, she takes a variety of family arrangement pictures. She's a wonderful human being who was so patient when our kids were babies. Our kids love her! She does a wonderful job encouraging everyone to smile, pose, and makes it fun! There isn't much of a delay after the session and receiving the pictures.

When booking my wedding photographer, I talked to a few different photographers and within the…read morefirst two minutes of talking to Pamela, I knew she was the one. She took the time to ask what I wanted and really wanted to know what I wanted to get from my photos. She asked about my details and what style I wanted. She was extremely sweet and from that phone conversation alone I could tell she had a true passion for wedding photography. Pamela wasn't just my wedding photographer, she was a friend. I booked her about a year in advance and she checked in periodically throughout that year. We had several interactions leading up to the day (phone, email, in person) where she spent time helping me plan the ends and odds of my wedding, she even helped me come up with my wedding timeline. She also visited my venue to brainstorm ideas before the big day and even sent me an itinerary. She really thinks of everything! On my wedding day, Pamela & her assistant Sergey (I hope the spelling is right) were phenomenal. They got a ton of great pictures and came up with a lot of amazing ideas for photos. They both are extremely detail oriented. They made sure my train was perfect at all times, that Matt's tie was straight, you name it, they saw it. At the end of the night, they even offered to stay later to get additional photos. I am extremely grateful for those two. I then received my wedding photos within 2 weeks, not just your standard preview or sneak peak but ALL of them and on top of that they look AMAZING. Thank you Pamela! I can't wait to get another excuse to use you in the future!

We went with Pamela because she was consistently rated the #1 wedding photographer in the DC area…read moreby weddingwire, theknot, etc and because she was referred to us by a friend. We are so glad that we did! The pictures came out amazing and we hardly knew she was there. I would have paid twice as much for the album and digitals that we ordered. Pamela is very professional and will make sure you get every picture that you want. She also captured hundreds of other amazing artistic shots that I would have never dreamed of. Bottomline- if you are having a wedding in the DC area, or want photos for another occassion or corporate event, go with Pamela!

When I graduated from James Madison University, my family and I decided to have David take my graduation photos and they turned out fantastic. He really has such an incredible eye to capture the best photo. Most recently, David was my wedding photographer this past August and he did such an amazing job. Not only was David there for every single photo opportunity but even helped get the wedding moving on it's correct schedule and getting people to where they needed to be. He was like my own personal wedding day coordinator and photographer in one. He spent plenty of time with both myself and the groom and the families to make sure no shot was missed. After the wedding, David and I decided to do a photo shoot with my horse and those pictures absolutely blew me away. He is able to work in any setting without difficulty. When the photos were ready for my family and I to view, he came over to my house and spent almost 2 hours with us, going through every photo and what ones we wanted in the wedding album or as prints. David even surprised me and gave me my very own USB drive with all of the photos on it. If you need someone to do personal portraits, weddings, or even animal related photo shoots, David is your man!

I had an idea that I wanted to come to life and he delivered just that! He helped me find a location to do my photoshoot. We were battling potential heavy rains, harsh light and high humidity on this day but he was extremely flexible with the environment and schedules. He delivers great quality photos unique to each person/ session. His turnaround time is great as well. So glad I found him as I am looking forward to including Eric and his work in more of my life's milestones.
