In a world where our phones take great photos, it's fair to wonder if a professional photographer…read moreis worth it. With Michelle Tricca, the answer is yes--without hesitation. The difference comes down to a trained eye, intuition, and real expertise you simply can't replicate. Michelle Tricca brings an artist's sensibility to every shot, capturing not just your portrait, but the emotion behind the moment. At the same time, she keeps you in the driver's seat--collaborating on selection, cropping, and composition to craft images that tell a story worth keeping. The result is a set of images that feel both personal and polished--something far beyond what you could create on your own, and well worth the investment.

It's hard to describe how thrilled I am with Julie. A few weeks before a big family birthday bash…read morefor our mom's 90th birthday, I reached out to four highly-recommended photographers via Yelp. Julie responded within minutes even though it was 8:30 on a Sunday night. After speaking with Julie, her enthusiasm for the project cemented her hire. Responses from the other three trickled in over the next week with "not available" or "no indoor shoots," so I realized I was extremely lucky to get Julie right out of the gate. The logistics of planning a huge birthday party in Florida (from Minnesota) and wrangling twenty family members for a photo shoot ahead of said party plus hiring everyone involved by long distance and hoping it goes as planned the day of were enough to make me start drinking at noon. It's not like I could meet the photographer ahead of time to discuss options, we did it all in a long phone call. And I crossed my fingers. Julie showed up right on time and had even scouted out a place in front of our beach condos where we could get Mom's wheelchair and still have a pretty background, especially for the smaller groups. Julie was so fast, so facile, she snapped and snapped each and every requested combo and even suggested a few more. She got the little ones to smile, everyone looking at the camera, and did it all in under forty minutes! Then we moved inside (HELLO AIR CONDITIONING!) and she snapped candid party pictures until time for food. Because no one wants pictures of themselves eating BBQ, amirite? She was just amazing. We took a few more posed shots and then she left us to enjoy the party. The following day she sent me a quick preview of just two of the photos. The hundreds she took will be culled, edited, curated, and available in a couple of weeks. I appreciate that she will provide links so we can print the ones we want OR order prints through her! I'll update the review when I have more photos, but for now enjoy these lovely shots of our Mom and our family and my full endorsement of Julie Renner Photography for your photo shoot needs!

A few months back, I needed a professional headshot for my business, and needed it quickly. Louis not only fit me in right away, but did a phenomenal job! I'm not quite sure HOW he did it; the lighting, the positioning, the humor, the "editing"...probably most importantly, with skill and talent, but I actually had a hard time choosing just one!! I have since been watching the work he produces, from head shots, group shots, to weddings, and nature shots. If you need a photographer, he's your guy!! (And reasonably priced too!!).
