She kept in contact throughout my pregnancy and was accommodating when my due date changed several times to make sure we were able to get the pictures done within the baby's first week. It was such a relief to just show up without having to prepare outfits for the baby. She has everything you need and more. All of the outfits she has are great quality and look fantastic. Her instructions prior to the shoot were helpful in preparing the baby for the day and for the parents to coordinate their clothing to best compliment the photos. She is receptive to input from the parents and is there to help when you're having trouble making decisions. Her ability to work with a newborn child and manipulate his positioning for pictures was amazing to watch. She managed to keep our baby calm the entire time. Angie's talent is matched by her creativity. We are so glad we chose Bella Marie Photography to capture these precious once in a lifetime moments. Thank you for everything! We will definitely be back for more pictures in the future!

I was happy with my professional headshot session from beginning to end. I completed their online…read moreform and received an email response promptly. They asked about my availability and recommended a gray background unless I had something else in mind. I scheduled my appointment for a morning session at their studio, which has its own small parking lot. My session was 40 minutes, including time afterward to select the pose I wanted. I appreciated the dressing room to fix my makeup and hair before the session. They had some hairspray, tissues, and hand lotion in the room. My photographer, Trevor, was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave me great directions and helped me select the best pose. During COVID, he and other staff had masks on. The total cost was $150. I will receive a high-resolution image for printing and a low-resolution image for screens/internet by email. I can't wait! I've never had a professional headshot taken and I wish I'd done it sooner. I would not hesitate to consider this studio if you want a professional experience and product.

We just found out that our Corgi has lymphoma. Before he passes, we wanted to get some nice family…read morephotos to remember him by. We paid a family friend to take photos and I am truly sad that I actually paid for those. So I asked around for a professional photographer with a studio, as our youngest pup isn't fully vaccinated, and that was good with pets. Based off recommendations from friends, I emailed four photographers in the area and Tourine from Johnstone Studios was one of the first to respond in a timely manner. Due to the time constant, we didn't do the complimentary consultation, but just made an appointment for the photos on a Sunday afternoon of that week. She did ask what breeds of dogs they were, to make sure she'd have the correct background color ready. We showed up 15 minutes early and she met us at the door. Tourine was warm and welcoming to both us and the pups. Johnstone Studios is beautifully set up, both welcoming and professionally decorated.We went upstairs to a studio with hard wood floors and she went to work. She was extremely kind to the pups and knew how to keep their attention. Tourine had a great energy and the dogs fed off of that. I could tell that Tourine has experience with working with dogs, as she waved treats, talked to them, jumped around and used a train whistle to see what they responded to best. Our Crogi is a ham and loves to take pictures, but our new golden doodle has no concept of what's going on, so getting him to look in the right direction was taxing. After she was done, she checked with us to see if we had time to view the photos in their viewing room, or if we needed to go home for the dogs. They were both doing well, so we stayed to view our photos. Not only did she get a few beautiful pictures of our ailing Corgi, but pictures of the dogs together and one of the four of us. Everyone was looking, beautifully positioned and I will treasure these photos for years to come! Down stairs in their viewing room, we went through the photos on a big screen tv. We picked a package that gave us three of the photos we choose retouched and the digital rights for a very competitive price. My husband also ordered an Urban picture collage of our three pictures. Tourine was extremely low pressure when it came to selling additional add ons and even offered to leave the room so we could talk our choices over. Our digital prints came over retouched in three days and the photo collage we ordered should be here within a month or so. I am so happy with our family photos! Tourine did a great job and Johnstone Studios will be our new place for yearly family photos!

I wanted a photographer to capture my proposal, and Lindsey absolutely crushed it. We're nearly 7…read moremonths pregnant, so Lindsey not only captured the proposal without my fiancee suspecting - getting tons of amazing candid shots - she basically set us up with engagement photos and maternity photos all in one. We were visiting Charleston for the weekend, so Lindsey helped me plan every detail down to a location in the heart of the city at the perfect time of day. She is personable and so easy to work with. We emailed, texted and jumped on the phone to discuss logistics over the two months leading up to the proposal. During the session, she suggested different poses and locations and never once made us feel rushed. She even made a couple restaurant suggestions for us as we parted ways. Lindsey has a great eye, and we are blown away with everything. My fiancee is so excited - not only that I had the wherewithal to plan this without her knowing a single detail, but also that I selected an awesome photographer. Lindsey has given us a very special way to remember this moment, and we can't thank her enough!

You could say I found my wedding photographers before I found my husband. Over the years, I've worked with them numerous times over the years. Ben & Erin photographed my engagement session in Scottsdale, AZ. Then they photographed our wedding weekend in Lake Como, Italy. Every photo they took from our trip in Italy is my most prized possession! It was like having friends photograph the first most important day of my life. My pictures are emotional, sentimental, and vibrant. While I was living in the moment at my wedding, they were documenting moments I didn't even see happening. Today, I cherish the variety of pictures they captured of my Mom and me at my wedding, her happiest of times and now, all I have left to remember her. She loved Ben & Erin because they are not just friendly people, they are intelligent, fun to be around, adventurous and kind hearted people. Above all, they are the most communicative and creative photographers I have ever met. They always superpass my expectations. Next month, we will hire them to photograph our business headshots in Charleston, SC. I trust them to make me look good and capture my best looking self (maybe even better than myself). They know the right thing to do in every moment. I wouldn't just recommend them, I'd tell you to hire them before they book up.

He is amazing and our photos surpassed our expectations. We had several phones calls prior to the shoot and Ben showed a genuine interest in us and what make us a happy family. The time he took with us at the shoot was great. My children warmed up to him so fast and we all felt very comfortable. We felt like we had been long lost friends with Ben. Seeing our photos was amazing- the happiness and pure emotion that was captured was astounding. We will cherish our prints for a lifetime. Everyone that sees the photographs is absolutely blown away. This team is the real deal.

As soon as we left our meeting, we knew we wanted to use them. Just talking to April and Jared was so easy, loved their work and their personality.

They had no problem doing anything we requested, but of course had plenty of great suggestions for us. They also had no problem getting pictures when our family or guests requested one. The only tough thing was to wait 3 months to get our pictures! It was well worth being patient though, such great photographs to give us a memory of such a wonderful day.
