I have worked with Susan on 3 separate occasions for both senior photos and mini sessions. With…read moreeach experience, Susan was extremely professional, transparent, and organized. She guided us from the start and asked many questions about the girls so she could create a positive relationship and find the perfect location to showcase them. Each location was unique to their personality and interests because Susan took the time to get to know them. Prior to the photo session, Susan welcomed us into her home for hair and makeup. Her make up artist, Cara French, was timely, well prepared, and also asked questions about the comfort level of makeup applied. Susan seemed to double as a photographer and hairstylist. Her attention to detail in creating the perfect look was spot on. The girls were thrilled with the outcome and felt confident and ready to have their pictures taken. During the photo session, Susan knew a lot about the girls and used their personalities to guide her in taking the best photos. For example, my oldest is an introvert. Because Susan took the time to learn this, she found a quiet location without distractions. She was kind and made my daughter take risks in smiling and posing naturally. Susan sent us a sneak peek of 5-6 photos within 24 hours of the session. In another 24 hours, our gallery was ready to view. Susan was able to crop, edit, and make subtle changes when asked. The final gallery was incredible. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend Susan Costa Photography. She is without a doubt the best photographer around.

She can work with your ideas, consult on new ideas, and/or do a combo of both. I recently did professional head shots with her, and am really happy with the results. I wanted to strike a balance between professional and approachable. I didn't know how to accomplish that, but Lauren provided the guidance and skills to make it happen. The studio is very welcoming and is a great setting for a shoot. You feel comfortable, but also energized to get going!

She was able to set up a session in less than a week, get us digital prints in two days, and then edit the one we liked in just one more day. And her prices were very reasonable. She's also a genuinely nice person, and a pleasure to work with! If you need a photographer, go with Lauren!

Todd and Max, thank you so much for your excellent work, great customer service, and for making the whole experience so easy and comfortable for us!

Coming to add a more recent review for Shelly Rose Photography, and when reading some of the…read moreexisting ones, I would pay attention to the date! My daughter came in earlier this year for her senior photo shoot (if you're reading this around Dec. 2024, she's the little cutie in the thumbnail!). We had Sara as her photographer, and she was absolutely amazing. She made my daughter feel confident and beautiful the entire time, and took the most stunning photos. Sara had the best energy, it felt like she was just happy to be there, and genuinely enjoyed her job. We really could not have been happier with the outcome! Thank you so much for giving my girl an amazing milestone experience!

I read some reviews before going in but they were from years or months ago so I wanted to update…read morewith my personal experience. I was able to give Shelly Rose Photography two stars instead of one simply because of the experience I had in my shoot. Her assistant (I prefer not to use names of employees) was my hair, makeup and photographer because Shelly was out. I had a fantastic time with the shoot. Originally I was super nervous to do something like this but she made me feel beautiful, confident and comfortable. A glass of wine but not carded first just as an FYI, 2 outfits, 2 hours and lots of beautiful poses. I wanted so badly to give this company more stars but the problem is after the shoot. When you get in you sign a contract and get right to getting ready. After your shoot, they sit you down and discuss pricing for packages. Something that is not listed anywhere on the website or mentioned in the beginning. Also another appointment to view them in person. This is where I failed to continue my work with them. The lowest package was $500 for only 10 of your photos. The highest was up to $2,999. ALMOST 3 grand!? It isn't until you spend $1,799 that you even get digital photos or printing rights to risky photos taken of YOU. Now I get it, you expect to have to pay more after the shoot for the photos but come on, $2,999 is like 4 car payments for me. I couldn't in good conscience spend that kind of money on photos of myself. $150 dollar certificate off of the Maines best deals website wasted just to drive 30 minutes through a snowstorm because their cancellation policy is also ridiculous and not get my photos. Maybe somebody out there has that kind of money but I sure don't.
