How to even start... Summer is ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED FOR…read moreYOUR BABY'S PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! You couldn't find a better Newborn Photographer if you tried. Go ahead and try. That's right, you couldn't find one. It's cuz she's the BEST. EVERY. SINGLE. IMAGE is perfect. I've been amazed at how she is able to take totally crazy, newborn skin (bumpy, red, splotchy, acne, jaundice, you name it) and make it smooth and creamy- and it looks beautiful and natural. Soooo many photographers don't do this well. I see (too often) images of babies looking red/splotchy and uncomfortable, or the opposite happens and they look waaay over-photoshopped and plastic. Summer is an expert in every way. I look at a baby's face and take a photo with my iphone thinking "they are SO cute!!!!" then I see the photo and I think, "what happened???!!!" lol. She is able to bring out the beautiful serenity of the babies she photographs and also keeps the real and natural "feel" of it all. Her use of color and props is out of this world. You won't find a better planner, as she plans every detail. She makes every hair stay in place (sooo important to my OCD-ness) and is conscious of each little, tiny finger's placement of your baby. She'll take family photos if you beg her, and she makes the new Mommies look sooooo amazing and natural! It's seriously incredible. Here's the reason you are going to believe every word I say. I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER TOO!!! I would bring my own babies to her every. single. time. I trust her THAT MUCH. Do you know how picky a photographer is when choosing her own photographer??? Summer surpasses my expectations every time she photographs! So glad I found this woman!!!

Spectacular photos and awesome experience! I loved it all. Summer made sure the photos worked well…read morewith our decor and were exactly what we wanted according to our color/style preferences. She nailed it! Even more amazing than I could have imagined. She's so creative. Def also an expert w making your baby comfy and cozy in her professional studio. All the props, backgrounds and outfits were impressive. I got to sit back, sip coffee or tea, and enjoy watching while she worked her magic. (As a tired mommy it was kinda therapeutic to be in such a peaceful environment while another loving mom took care of my baby for a little while ) I would recommend Bella Rose to everyone--go for it, you'll be so glad you did!

After meeting Tianna during a consultation, I knew I NEEDED her to be my wedding photographer. I…read morewas instantly drawn to her. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Fun. Creative. Just a blast, and comfortable to work with all around. See, I hate the way I look in photos, but she made me feel beautiful in my engagement session. And by golly I loved how I looked in every photo! Unfortunately, I was unable to use her for my wedding since it was canceled, so I can't give a review about that, but I will say that I plan to use her in the future.

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!

You get what you pay for...actually you get less. We booked a mini session which is stated as being…read more45 min to 1 hour on the site. My wife requested 4:30 but she countered with 5pm. We got to the park and it was already getting dark, we started down a path where she insisted on taking some pictures and then after taking a few realized her memory card wasn't in the camera. 5 mins wasted, we walk down to a lake where there was good lighting by the water so that's where EVERY picture was taken. We finished at 5:25, so we got 20 mins of a 45 min to 1 hour photo session. I wrote Erika to address this and let her know that with little ones we could not do another photo shoot and we thought it would be fair to reduce the price of the remaining balance by %50, so instead of paying the remaining $60 we would pay $30. She countered with a hostile email and said she would give us a reduced amount of pictures and $10 off and that was all she was willing to "stand with"..yep those were her words. After I initiated a refund for the initial $40 we paid for the booking fee she called very concerned because I said I would review and let others know the experience we received. My wife was upset and wanted something to show for the 20 mins we got so we came to an agreement to get 10 of the 15 pics and $20 off. Huge mistake because %80 of the pics we got were pretty terrible. The one of our daughter is blurry because she focused on the step she was sitting on. We got duplicate pictures because she tossed on a black and white filter for some of them. We will NEVER use her again and hope this review serves useful to those trying to get quality pictures. Session was rushed, her customer service is horrid and worst of all we don;t have quality pictures to counteract the experience we had.
