STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! Honestly I wanted to write a good review but this was absolutely a…read morehorrible experience and the owner, Saskia, has horrible customer service, unethical, and overall it seems that her only agenda is to make the most from you there! I left the studio in tears and want to give everyone a forewarning before you decide to book with her. I reached out to this studio earlier this year to book my session for my first borns newborn photos. Her work looked great and I wanted something special for our first child. Her prices upfront were crazy! I know photography is expensive however I know in other places you can find things a lot cheaper. Unfortunately out in VA and North Carolina, which is where I live, the prices are steep compared to other places I've lived. There aren't many out here so I think that's why they're able to up the prices. Dreamy baby did have some cool sets for pictures and ultimately that why I went with her. So I guess in December 2024 there was a promotion where you pay $500 for a $600 gift card...basically $100 off your session. I contacted her after December and she said that deal is over but if you book right now I'll let you use it. I said perfect do you usually have other sales? My son wasn't due till early April so I was willing to wait for a special since it is A LOT of money. She said this was the only sale they do. So I jumped on it and booked. LITERALLY a week later she comes out with an email that has another special for booking. I did the calculations and it came out to be $90 cheaper than what I was going to pay. This should have been my red flag to find someone else. I'll include the text messages but basically I just felt she was super shady. I also saw she had an all digital package and when asked about that she said that she no longer did it and will be taking it down from her website...but it's still up there. So then comes the day where my son was born, I texted her the following day to let her know he was here and to schedule us. She booked us for almost 2 weeks later and we were set! Our session was for a Thursday, the 24th and the Friday before, the 18th, I reached out to let her know what props/backgrounds we wanted. I never heard a response back to confirm anything. Then the day before our session, 23rd, I reached out again because now I have no clue if we're good to go or not because I hadn't heard anything from her! I asked what we needed to bring and this lady tells me then that she had a price increase to the packages. On MONDAY...a few days before my appointment...is when she tells me there is a price increase. Not when I reached out to her that our son was born, not the Friday before to confirm, and not the day the actual prices increased. NOPE! She texts the DAY BEFORE OUR PHOTOSHOOT that there is a $200 price increase! I was livid! Again I booked with her, paid the studio session fee to save a slot, back in January! And I reached out to book before this price increase. You're telling me that if she would have seen us a little earlier I wouldn't have been slapped in the face with this extra $200!? I just felt this owner/company has no morals or integrity. My son had already been born, it's not like I could book with another photographer because most of them ask to book in the third trimester at the latest so that they could get them in for pictures before 2 weeks of age. Upon showing up to our appointment my husband asked about this price increase and seeing if she will honor the price that was originally what it had been for 4 months since we booked it but continently increased 3 days before we showed up. She said no and basically I had to sit in that appointment trying to be friendly to this woman. I left there in tears spending around $1500. Because other hidden fees included shipping of the pictures and of course almost $90 worth of taxes. I left crying and am praying that over the years I don't look at the photos of my son and remember this person. So I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Some vendors can make you feel like every email is a bother to them, not with Maria she was incredibly attentive and responsive to every email or phone call, usually replying within minutes. We used her for our engagement and wedding photos, both sets of photos turned out amazing, and we received them in record time. My fiance and I had a bit of anxiety being the center of attention but she made us feel completely at ease from the start. Her second shooter for the wedding was her husband Nathan and he was just as wonderful as she was. We would hire them again and have recommended them to all of our engaged friends. This photography team is well worth the price and they will make you feel like a part of the family by the time your wedding is over.

This was my first time stepping foot in front of a camera which in itself can be nerve racking. I was given step by step posing instructions seeing I was new to it all and really was clueless. Ross and Jess are professional in every aspect of the business they run, I was respected, comfortable, and had an absolute blast. Again I highly recommend this business for ANY photography needs, the communication and consult went smooth and the outcome was unmatched! Thank you again Ross and Jess

I can't begin to say how AMAZING Ross and Jess are. They…read morewere fun, considerate, and professional. I absolutely LOVE our wedding pictures. My husband, who isn't into 'wedding stuff' as much as me,even said "Wow! I had no idea, these are beautiful." My oldest brother who is definitely a harsh critic said, "my wedding pictures were the best pictures he's ever seen." I honestly believe the two most important things on your wedding day should be the person you choose to marry and the pictures. Ross and Jess exceeded any of my expectations. If you choose to go with them you will not be sorry. They are so comfortable to work with on a day that is so racked with nerves, you feel like your friends are taking your pictures. A few adjectives that were used by my family and friends so far have been: stunning, gorgeous, awesome and ethereal. I will be forever grateful for the work, time, and energy that Ross and Jess put into my pictures.

I've worked with Amaris on more than one shoot, and she never fails to deliver positive energy and…read morebeautiful results. If it was going to rain on your wedding day, you'd want Amaris as your photographer. Her personality is sunshine and her expertise is impressive. I've seen her roll with the punches by shooting a styled elopement on a beach in winter, and climbing a mountain for a product shoot and portrait session in Arizona summer! Amaris has an artistic, intimate style that comes across whether shooting individuals, couples, or families. I appreciate how she gets to know whatever she's shooting and really works in personal touches. I recommend following her work on Instagram (@amarissachsphoto) and posting her results- they're definitely my favorite and most-liked photos. I redid my blog with my portrait by Amaris as soon as I got my gallery! I love Amaris as a person, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

We gave her an hour with just me and my bride before the wedding (highly recommend you give her that much time to chase the light because we had enough flexibility to be creative and get pictures that we'll adore for the rest of our lives). She was also considerate, clear, and a whole lot of fun to have at the wedding. My whole family loved being captured by her; she even got my nephews to smile and sit still (a first). The best thing about Amaris is that she was able to take our vision and expand on it in ways we couldn't have put into words. If you're like me and you tend to feel very uncomfortable in front of cameras, I highly recommend Amaris. She has a way of making the session feel SO relaxed, like you're just talking and hanging out, but at the end of it you get the best photos of your life. I highly recommend booking with her NOW because in a couple of years you're going to be VERY lucky to book her. She'll be in high demand. One of the very best wedding photographers in Hampton Roads! Thank you, Amaris!
