I started a new job recently and had to have a headshot taken for the company website. I've never…read morehad a formal headshot taken before and was really anxious about the whole thing. I generally don't like having photos taken and I was also apprehensive about having my hair and make-up done - I was nervous that I would look nothing like myself. As it turned out, I had absolutely nothing to be worried about - Rick has the uncanny ability to make you feel 100% comfortable and at ease the second you walk in the door. He has a great eye for bringing out the best in a subject and making sure you are truly happy with the results. He clearly knows his craft exceptionally well and is great at what he does. He provides just the right amount of direction to get you looking at your best - he also has a great sense of humor (and great music taste!) that made for a great headshot experience. Thanks so much, Rick!

Seriously cannot recommend her enough.

I called Cara very last minute with a request for an infant photography shoot in our home right before the holidays. She responded to me quickly and we booked the session for the very next week! Our photos turned out even better than I expected and Cara came with a lot of her own ideas about ways to stage our home and get the best lighting. She was also very patient when we had a cranky baby and made me feel at ease as a first time mother. Highly professional, and I would definitely recommend and work with again!

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

She was extremely flexible in changing our photo shoot date when our baby ended up being born late and very easy to communicate with.

The turnaround time to see the final pictures and order packages was also super fast. We are looking forward to working with her again.

Laura Shachmut is an incredible photographer. She puts so much talent, energy, creativity, and…read moreintelligence into her shoots, the props she brings, the ideas she has. She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

Laura takes absolutely gorgeous photos - she came to our home for a combined newborn and family…read morephoto shoot, and captured our older children's personalities so perfectly, and got the most beautiful photos of our newborn as well. We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!

He was very supportive and flexible during multiple COVID-19 postponing and flexible with our micro wedding. During the day, Ben was patient and fun! Our guests couldn't believe how many moments and details he managed to stealthily capture-it seemed like he was in multiple places at once! Most importantly, our pictures were absolutely beautiful. Although our portraits were lovely, Ben really excels at candid photos that capture the joy of the wedding. One thing that really struct me about our wedding photos is how many real smiles Ben captured out of all of us. I can't believe both how many silly and sentimental moments he managed to catch and his style is so cool. I would strongly recommend.

Like every couple planning a wedding, my now-husband and I searched for a photographer that would…read moreprovide us with perfect wedding pictures that we'll proudly display for the rest of our lives. In our search, we came across a number of wedding photographs that were banal, sometimes bordering on cheesy, and we knew we didn't want that. Ben Schaefer's artistic sensibility struck us from the beginning. He describes himself as a photo journalist, and we think that's spot-on. Rather than projecting his personality into poses and ideas, Ben thought carefully about how we'd planned our day and which aspects were most important. And from the early photos we've seen so far, we are pleased with his careful eye and aesthetic sensibility. And to top it off, Ben is a joy to work with. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than perhaps any other person (aside from your new spouse), so it's important that you get along. Ben is fun, sensitive, and funny. We could not be happier with our experience and highly recommend Ben for your wedding or any occasion.
