This was our second year doing a family photo shoot with Amy. Her photos are pure magic. She is…read moresomehow able to get amazing shots of two insane toddlers with no attention span whatsoever who can't seem to sit still at all during a shoot. She is able to put them at ease and draw out lots of laughs, and is so easygoing and kind. She makes the shoot experience much less stressful. It's clear that she really knows the sites she picks very well. Both times, she knew exactly when and where to stand for the best light and shadows and the most beautiful settings. She is so good at capturing truly magical shots where the light is hitting everybody's faces just perfectly-- they look like they belong in editorials in magazines. She does a really lovely mix of both posed and more candid shots. And, if it matters to you, she doesn't use AI to edit her photos. This is all her own skill. Last year, when we sent out our holiday cards using Amy's photos of our family, so many friends and family were floored by how lovely the photography was. Her work really is a cut above. I cannot recommend her enough!

We did a maternity sunset photoshoot with Amy and her work is top-tier! She sent links for styling,…read morecolor palettes and location guidance weeks before our shoot which was incredibly helpful. On the evening of our session, she made us all feel comfortable like we were hanging out with a friend. She was amazing with our 4 year old son and Shiba Inu. My son was so comfortable that he started doing his own poses and giving suggestions on how we should pose next. Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!! We would highly recommend Amy and will turn to her for our future photo sessions!

Having a baby has completely changed my perspective and given me a new appreciation for photography…read moreand the amazing skills some photographers have. Getting even a good iPhone picture can be difficult! That said, after being a little disappointed with my daughter's six-month photo shoot results, I went in search of a new photographer for her nine-month/family session. Luckily for us, we found Tony. He impressed me from the beginning with his responsiveness and the instant willingness to do an outside photo shoot in December. Tony has an amazing eye for detail and carefully explained how he wanted to set up the various shots. He has a way of making you feel at ease and like you're not posing. My husband enjoys photography as a hobby, and Tony was generous with his tips and tricks. The results were amazing! He was able to capture her little personality beautifully. The pictures really are pieces of art-his skill just shines through. His way of capturing the light and the colors is pretty incredible. We were both happy and thankful to have found such a great photographer who happens to also be a really nice person. Looking forward to working with him in the future.

From our very first contact with Tony about our newborn photoshoot my husband and I were so…read moreimpressed by his professionalism. He answered all our calls, emails and questions promptly throughout the whole process, from booking to receiving our final photos! During our session we discovered how very warm and clearly passionate he is about what he does. We would even go so far as to call him the "baby whisperer". We were so impressed with how gentle and patient he was in handling our 14 day old newborn girl and his ability to swaddle and calm her so adeptly. We were so grateful to have the professional detailed handout on what to expect during the session and how to prepare. It just made it so much easier for us to know how the morning would go and what we could do to make it as pleasant of an experience for our baby and ourselves. On the morning of the shoot he was exactly on time. For us new parents trying to balance preparing with everything from nursing, eating breakfast, getting ready, and twelve other things, it was so appreciated that he was neither early nor late, the timing was just perfect. Tony is nothing if not prepared, he came with his bag of goodies and brought a good variety of baskets, outfits, wraps, backdrops, and even professional lighting equipment for our shoot so that we would receive a variety of unique photos and poses. He even brought a custom travel themed backdrop and setup after we had mentioned how much how much we love to travel! He was very flexible and patient during our shoot and even extended the session since we lost some extra time due to changing, feeding and general fussiness from our newborn. The final images we received are gorgeous! You can see a few of our favorites here, but there are so many beautiful ones... it's hard to pick faves! Tony's pricing, the shoot experience, the photographer, the final images and overall experience is just what we were looking for! We are definitely going to be using him for our future family photography needs.

We had a fantastic experience with Anne and she made our family look *good*! :-)…read more Anne was very easy to work with. She suggested several locations for our shoot for us to choose from and she was flexible on timing. What was really amazing, though, is that she was able to get some beautiful shots of our young kids, one of whom was being atypically challenging that day. Anne worked him (she is great with the kids), posed us well, and did her best to capture some of the family personality. Nevertheless, my wife and I left the photoshoot frustrated that one son had behaved so badly and we basically wrote off the photoshoot in our minds. However, when we saw Anne's pictures the next week, we were amazed--the pictures were fantastic! Were we even at the same photoshoot?? I highly recommend using Lily Anne Photography. I'm sure that we will again.

Once she an idea of what she wants, she'll do whatever she needs to do to get it right. In instances where it's an environmental shot she'll take the time to go check out the spot before she actually does the job to get a lay of the land and get an idea of what time of day is best for the right shot(s). She was so fun to work with, and we were laughing and having a great time! At the same time, the process was as thorough as it was fast. She'll be my immediate "go to" moving forward. Thanks Jodi!
