This may not be the norm, but our family booked a last minute trip to the mountains to take…read moreadvantage of the fresh snow and introduce our dogs to snow for the first time. One of our dogs is a senior pup, and his health has been worrisome. And after 12 years, I really wanted to make this trip happen for him, but I also wanted to make sure this moment was captured because this pup is my soul dog. I scrambled to find a photographer would be available last minute for a weekend slot. Naturally, no one was available, but one of the photographers I reached out to recommended Thea. Miraculously, Thea had a 9am slot open on a Saturday, which was about 24ish hours from when I messaged her! Securing my reservation with Thea was seamless. She was responsive and kind in answering my questions and recommended a spot that had all the elements I wanted and that was still safe terrain for my elderly parents to join us. I submitted my information, set up my payment, and my slot was secured. We met her at an easy location that she picked out, and I got all the memories that I hoped I would get. It was a 30 minute session, but we packed so much in there -- mountain views, snow close-ups, forest backgrounds. Thea and her mom, who was helping with the lighting, were so kind and friendly. Made our session fun and lighthearted. At the end of the session, we thanked her, and she told me my photos would be ready in about a week. Literally 24 hours later, I had an email with my gallery!!! 50 photos in the gallery of which 20 I could download at high res. I cried. Happy tears of course, because she captured the kind of candid, loving moments I envisioned with my husband, our dogs, and especially my senior pup. Thea helped us commemorate our dog's first time to the snow in such a beautiful way. Thank you so much, Thea! It was such a pleasure to meet you and work with you and your mom.

Getting married is stressful enough but working with Jolynne and her husband was a breeze…read more Literally a breeze since our wedding took place on a boat! They both rose to the challenge to try out a venue they hadn't tried before. We were on a budget and I can't say enough at how much they worked and compromised with us. My husband and I loved all the pictures that we receieved from Jolynne. She captured every moment of our wedding without being intrusive on our special day. She listened to what we wanted from our photos, while also putting her own spin on some of the photos but still keeping them true to our personalities. She even took the time after departing the boat to take pictures of us on the dock. They both went above and beyond everyhting that we could have asked for in a photographer. If you want to live in the moment and be able to look back and remember those moments, choose Jolynne!

There are not enough words to thank Jami + Keith for their part in our wedding. Not only are they…read morethe best people but they are so freaking good at what they do. We were nervous to be in front of the camera or center of attention, but I have never felt more amazing in photos. Jami is such a gem of a human being and is funny, professional, and just an all-around amazing person. She kept us laughing and comfortable and we have the best laughing and natural photos because of it! She is true talent and I cannot believe how lucky we were to have found her to photograph our wedding day. If you love her work (who wouldn't?) then go, go, go. You will not regret it for a second and you will have stunning photos to last you a lifetime.

Double 5 star review!…read more Alan photographed both my engagement and wedding days! I cannot highlight enough how great Alan is both personally and professionally. As a type A individual, Alan was there for me during the planning stages of the proposal (from when to do it for best lighting, where he should hide, how to get to the spot, etc.), he truly cared about making it the perfect experience and answered all my questions (big and small), and was happy to do it. Our engagement shoot was fun, he had great places to take us for stunning views, and of course the photos turned out amazing. Alan did such a phenomenal job with the engagement shoot it was a no brainer to also use him for the wedding. We had a long list of family photo combinations we wanted and Alan didn't hesitate to assure us we would be able to capture everything we wanted. He showed up on time, had a great eye for detail, worked with us during last minute time line changes, and directed his staff as needed. He provides clear direction, gives feedback as needed, and is able to capture anything you want. Not only was Alan professional, he is also personally extremely kind, warm, genuine, and sincere. Having his calming and positive energy around throughout the day was a life savor. He really made me and my wife feel so special and was able to constantly remind us what the day was actually about, each other. I truly could not imagine the day going any better or using/trusting anyone else to capture our wedding. We are so in love with the photos and will treasure them for a lifetime. Alan is an easy recommendation to make, you will not be disappointed using his services!

She's fantastic too!
