When you choose a photographer you hope for two things...That they show up on time, and that the…read morepictures turn out beautiful. Both of these were not achieved by Erica Rose. In fact, pictures from our beautiful event weren't even seen. Booking Erica for our parents anniversary was great. She was so nice and bubbly on the phone and we were able to get a hold of her easily to discuss details. We were really excited to meet her at the venue. Our party started at 6:30 and we asked her to arrive 15 minutes prior to that time. She showed up at 45 after. We were disappointed but she showed up with a smile and seemed ready to work so we let it go. We informed her which plate would be hers for dinner but asked that during dinner she went around and got some candid photos of our guests. She got up and took 1 photo of each table after eating and then asked to take the family photos that we wanted so she could leave afterward. This was only 1 1/2 hours into the event and we paid for 3 so we expected her to stay the remainder of the time and handed her her check then. Our mistake. She stayed another 15 minutes after taking our family photos (which we were so looking forward to seeing) and then left. We were shocked at the service we received. Especially because we liked her so much before she tried to jip us on time. A few days after the event we got a phone call from a very sorry Erica letting us know that our photos were accidentally deleted from the memory card and that they could not be recovered. While devastated we knew that there was ways to get those photos back because we have 2 very tech-savvy guys in our family and they've had experience with this very issue. She refused to let us try any of their techniques but was very apologetic. The good news is we received our money back. The bad news is, we have no photos of that night, and for a family who loves to document everything with images, this was a hard pill to swallow.

I love Erica. We hired her to for an engagement shoot and our wedding shoot. We had the…read moreengagement shoot last weekend (on the hottest day of the year so far). Even though it was hot, the pictures came out beautifully. We dragged her all around my old hood (Lakeview) and she took pictures in alleys, the brown line stop, a bookstore, and even in the Yogen Fruz. She made us look good, and not like the semi awkward nerds we are. I can't wait until my wedding next year for those pictures. She is also very affordable, personable and makes you feel comfortable while asking you to kiss in public. Also, as a random aside, she is the fastest eater ever.

Planning to ask a woman to spend the rest of her life with you isn't simple. Planning it from over…read more4,000 miles away has its own set of challenges. After successfully using the internet to find about a dozen photographers (no hits, all misses) in the Anchorage area, I knew I needed more direction. Finding Lauren Roberts (the brains, talent, and amazingness behind Beauty Board Media) was the answer to my questions. Even while on a work-trip outside of Alaska, Lauren fielded my call and took some time to sit in a quiet place and chat with me about what exactly I was looking to do. I wanted my proposal to my girlfriend to be caught on camera so we could share that special moment with our friends and family all over the world. No big deal. Lauren and I spoke for days before she even started talking about the cost of this cross-country production I was planning. A couple from Texas celebrating the 4th of July in Anchorage with a proposal under the fireworks at a small college summer league baseball game. She was almost as excited about this as I was! The words "swoon" and "romantic" were thrown around excessively. Lauren promises, Lauren delivers. She brought along a second shooter to catch the moment in photos while she masterfully shot our video. At the time of writing this review the video has not yet been completed; we asked Lauren to take extra time and provided her recently with some other home video "gems" to work with. Like I said, her promise of a keepsake production cannot be ignored. It's amazing what Beauty Board Media has done for past clients (check out the website) and what she's done for Priscilla and me. The photos are outrageous. We can't stop looking at them. A few are being printed and framed once we decide which of them we like more than the others. It's a difficult task when each picture is a masterpiece. Our friends and family love the pictures. Our only regret is that Lauren is in Alaska and we're in Texas! We can't thank her enough. Her talent and passion captured our engagement; something no amount of money could recreate or duplicate. And now we have a way to revisit it forever. If you have any questions just message me. I'll always be a fan.

Melissa was easy going and delight to work with. I'll definitely use her for more family photos.read more

Amanda made time for me in her busy schedule to do so. Normally I'm an anxious girly but she made me feel so comfortable and had so many photos from our engagement photos to pick from! Like I mean a work of ART! I can't say it enough she's super worth it! She's easy to work with! She makes me feel super comfortable and confident even though I'm always anxious lol. Since I booked her as my wedding photographer, she met up with me to go over the important moments and things I wanted captured for our upcoming wedding. Let me tell you she was super insightful and really listened to me and what I wanted. If you're booking with a photographer hands down she's perfect! 10/10 would recommend.

Reasonable prices for family photos, even better when you can snag a mini photo session special! Our family of 5 (including teenager, toddler and infant) did a 30 min mini session at a local greenhouse and it worked out great. What a cool idea for location during the winter, I didn't want to bring a newborn out in the snow. Evelyn was so sweet with our toddler who was almost having a meltdown as toddlers randomly do. She sent our final photos about a week later and we love how they turned out! Definitely will book with her again when we need more pics.

I had heard so many great things about them and I'm so happy I listened to what everyone was saying. Christal Houghtelling was absolutely amazing at capturing the beauty of Alaska and each one of my kids' personalities. We got an album that I will cherish forever. It is worth every dollar to me to have amazing photos I'm proud of and memories I will now never forget. I recommend Windswept if you want real professional photos and a great shooting experience. She is top notch on both fronts. All my friends and family are obsessed with her work. We already booked for next season.
