From the owner: Why choose me? This Photog is a giant, energetic bundle of crazy goofiness and I fully believe that…read moreenergy is infectious, thus, invoking those n-a-t-u-r-a-l, (and sometimes elusive) smiles! I will dance like a monkey for those babies giggling and the adults can't help but laugh at me, too! Not only that, but I have been cementing moments for 15+ years and have the experience and knowledge you need for those gorgeous, canvas worthy images! My eyes will make sure that shirt's tucked in, your collar's down and your lipstick is on your lips and not on your teeth (yikes!) - no fake 'cheeeeese-y' sayings allowed here we are going for the gold!

I was looking for a maternity photographer in Virginia - and I found Rare Rose Imagery on yelp!…read more I went on Erica's website & inquired. She emailed right away and we were able to talk through email, texting and a quick phone call. What I loved about Erica was her fast communication through email/texting. At the time that I found Erica I was in California and I had my (now fiancé) speak to Erica a few times because of our time difference. Erica and Tony kept in touch with planning our session which made it super easy for me to just focus on outfits. Lol! I let her know I was looking for maternity & outdoor photoshoot. She exceeded my expectations. We confirmed date and time then she let me know the location few days closer to our photoshoot date. Erica certainly knows how to pose (Tony & I) since were not photogenic lol. We received our photos in a drop box pretty fast! She emailed me the link. Our pictures were edited as well. Edited to perfection. Overall - Erica is such an amazing photographer! Super friendly, super fun & social! My maternity shoot turned into an engagement shoot towards the end of our session. Erica has captured memories forever. I will continue to use Erica far as I am in Virginia but my fiancé and I highly recommend her!

She guided us through the whole process and has a very professional website and technology program for the whole process. During the photo shoot, she was awesome!!! Very knowledgeable of the location, posing, etc. She was so kind, laid-back, and personable! She made the whole experience fun and enjoyable despite it being a little chilly and windy. She captured the most beautiful pictures and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! She edited and gave us our final images way faster than we were expecting. We would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future!

She did an…read moreamazing job of capturing the event, the people, and all the details that went into our wedding. We have more than enough photos to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Jessie also did a complimentary engagement shoot for us when we hired her. Those pictures also turned out great! Jessie is easy to work with. She made the somewhat awkward process of taking engagement photos simple, made us feel comfortable, and the process a lot of fun! Jessie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares about capturing great photos for her couples. We can't recommend Jessie enough!

Jessie's photography is literally CHEF'S KISS!! I'm totally obsessed with her style! I've done…read moreseveral shoots with her and I will continue to do so many more!

Amber Smith took our wedding photos on NYE. She said turnaround time was 3-4 weeks. Not only do we…read morenot have our wedding photos, but she will not return our calls or emails.

Pros: Customer Service was 100%! The facility was beautiful and super clean. The photographer was…read moreso graceful, and flawless with our son! He slept the entire photoshoot! I was in awe watching her work with our bundle of joy! What she does is definitely an art!! We had a wonderful experience with Purple Owl Photography. I would recommend this location if you don't have a budget. I explained in further detail below. Cons: Extremely overpriced! We received approximately 20 photos on a USB flash drive and a few printed pictures for over 950.00 dollars.Looking back I still can't believe I paid that much for the photos but I wanted each of them because they turned out so beautiful! With that being said to get all of the pictures on a disk drive , the owner makes your purchase a package with printed photos. All the packages with the USB flash drives are over 900+ so be prepared in the financial department !

She went above and beyond on every shoot to make sure everything was absolutely perfect! She was very quick with the editing process and we were able to get a few photos right away.. like seriously the same day!! We were very impressed as we know it usually takes weeks to months to receive our pictures after a shoot. She was so helpful, reliable and very easy to work with. She made sure we had pictures of everything we wanted plus many, many more! She never got frustrated with us and took her time with everything! She was such a sweetheart and an absolute breeze to work with. She went above and beyond on each shoot and you could tell she was having just as much fun as we were! If you need a photographer for any occasion, Julie is definitely your girl. She was the most incredible photographer we've ever worked with and we can't wait to do another shoot with her!
