So the problem is how to find the right photographer. When I was asked to recommend one for a wedding, I suggested a photographer who I knew who did great work. that was Barbara, the owner and operator of Basia Photography. Her portfolio featured a great deal of fashion and model shoots, and one thing stood out. She had that strange ability to capture a level of emotion in her subjects that is rare to see. If you can make me care about a fashion model, then you can make me care about anything you take a photo of. The wedding shots turned out great. I couldn't believe the level of quality compared to the cost of her services. The only drawback seems to be that she doesn't have a traditional studio. It took some juggling of schedules to make an appointment. That said, it was worth the wait. So professional.

Those qualities and more shine through in his photography. His professionalism and ability to crack a joke to get a toddler to look at a camera and smile cannot be understated. We wanted a quick little session for some family photos when my son was around 1.5 years old. The weather was starting to warm up and we wanted to capture some actual photos of us all that weren't taken with an iPhone. Paul and I set up a quick session for a day/time that worked well with weather and found a nice spot to meet up for photos. I did say my son was 1.5 years old right? So he was not thrilled about sitting still for photos. Paul's ability to grab candid shots, entertain a toddler, and even make the impossible task of capturing a rambunctious toddler on camera happen almost seamlessly. My wife was so blown away with the photos Paul took, she immediately told me we will have to go back and have another session when our son is a bit older. (Plus we have to bring the dog in too) Paul will not only capture the perfect photo for you, but the work he will do to make you feel comfortable, camera ready, and deliver a great product is unmatched. I recommend checking out Living in the Buff for any of your video or photography needs.

I don't give out 5 stars often so I hope that speaks for itself. I'd recommend him, hands down, for any of your photography needs!

TLDR amazing for wedding photo/video package deal, very easy to work with, and BEAUTIFUL results…read more Coming from NYC, when my husband and I started planning our Buffalo wedding, I relied heavily on social media to find a video/photographer I really liked. I came across Expressions Studios and their photography + Videography package was too good to pass up on. Not only did it include a full wedding day coverage, but because we were getting married at Avanti Mansion, we also got an engagement photography session. After a couple of phone calls with them, we decided to choose them for our wedding. We had Paul, Alexandra (photographer), and Aaron (videographer) work on our wedding. For our engagement photoshoot in a garden, Alexandra was able to guide us through poses that made it look natural and also allowed us to do our own thing to make our personalities shine through the photos. She also has a great eye for finding good angles and backgrounds. We were so happy with the photos and couldn't wait for the wedding day. Leading up to the wedding day, we had a phone call to discuss the important shots and moments we want highlighted. For our wedding day, both Alexandra and Aaron captured the best moments of the day. They were able to move around so quickly and get all the angles, but we barely noticed them. We got our photos about a month after our wedding. They gave us ALL 1000+ photos they took with color enhancements (sepia, black&white, or color). It took awhile to go thru and choose photos where everyone's eyes are open - but I personally preferred it this way and being able to choose my own photos I want to keep. We got our 12 min video and 1 min highlight video at the same time around 1.5 months after the wedding - I was hoping to get the 1 min trailer sooner after the wedding to relive the day, but the 12 min version was definitely worth the wait.

Her pics are either really close up or very far away. Doesn't pose the kids, I'm all for non posed pics however when it's for dance that's completely different. The lighting is always bad. I take better pics. Her new thing is she puts these extremely heavy watermarks on her digital images so you can't print them out. While I understand that concept, these were so obnoxious me and my sister both said the same thing about our kids pics. We couldn't really tell what we were purchasing. So blurry. When I contacted her she said replied with, adorable, lots of smiles. Sure, because she can actually see them, I can't. What would she say, oh they look awful? When telling her I couldn't really tell due to the watermark, she ignored me and never emailed me back again. I think she just assumes if parents want a pic of their kid in their costumes that bad they will pay for it. And she would be correct. Here I am after going back and forth with frustration ended up giving in and purchasing the 3 I felt looked decent. When the watermark was removed after I paid of course, I wish I haven't done that. Should have went with my gut on this one and not purchased. Each digital download was $35 or you get 5 images for $100 as a package deal. I couldn't even pic out 5 good ones out a total of 34 images she took. Save your money. Hire someone else. If her studio has her come back, I definitely won't be sending my daughter in on pic day. Waste of good hair, costumes, and makeup.

I had seen Jessica's work on Facebook and was referred by a friend who had nothing but great things to say. I purchased a large photo package which included maternity photos and pictures of my baby right after she born, at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. I knew what I wanted my photo package to look like and Jessica was very accommodating. Good photos aren't cheap, but I found Jessica's prices to be comparable to other photographers. Our first photo shoot was done outside. My son didn't cooperate at all, but she still managed to get great pictures. Our second photo shoot was for my daughter's newborn photos and that was done in her studio. The studio was a clean professional space that was decorated very nicely. One thing that I love about Jessica is the number of photos she gives you. You definitely get your money's worth! Jessica also prides herself on getting you your photos on time!
