Great engagement photos for my daughter and her future husband. From Lauren Roberts Photography.read more

Planning to ask a woman to spend the rest of her life with you isn't simple. Planning it from over…read more4,000 miles away has its own set of challenges. After successfully using the internet to find about a dozen photographers (no hits, all misses) in the Anchorage area, I knew I needed more direction. Finding Lauren Roberts (the brains, talent, and amazingness behind Beauty Board Media) was the answer to my questions. Even while on a work-trip outside of Alaska, Lauren fielded my call and took some time to sit in a quiet place and chat with me about what exactly I was looking to do. I wanted my proposal to my girlfriend to be caught on camera so we could share that special moment with our friends and family all over the world. No big deal. Lauren and I spoke for days before she even started talking about the cost of this cross-country production I was planning. A couple from Texas celebrating the 4th of July in Anchorage with a proposal under the fireworks at a small college summer league baseball game. She was almost as excited about this as I was! The words "swoon" and "romantic" were thrown around excessively. Lauren promises, Lauren delivers. She brought along a second shooter to catch the moment in photos while she masterfully shot our video. At the time of writing this review the video has not yet been completed; we asked Lauren to take extra time and provided her recently with some other home video "gems" to work with. Like I said, her promise of a keepsake production cannot be ignored. It's amazing what Beauty Board Media has done for past clients (check out the website) and what she's done for Priscilla and me. The photos are outrageous. We can't stop looking at them. A few are being printed and framed once we decide which of them we like more than the others. It's a difficult task when each picture is a masterpiece. Our friends and family love the pictures. Our only regret is that Lauren is in Alaska and we're in Texas! We can't thank her enough. Her talent and passion captured our engagement; something no amount of money could recreate or duplicate. And now we have a way to revisit it forever. If you have any questions just message me. I'll always be a fan.

She told me about her website so I went online and looked around. I purchased a couple of her calanders for Christmas gifts which I recieved right on time and my family loves. I wish we lived closer to do a portrait session but we'll be booking one the next time we're in the area. I saw her invitations and hair ornments but the ideas I had for our wedding weren't on her site. I asked her what she'd suggest because our wedding was a very untraditional destination wedding. She went above and beyond my expectations working with me to create our wedding invitations and bridesmaids' hair ornments to make sure they were just as one of a kind as our wedding was. She's communicated every step of the way to make sure my order would be perfect and sent to me in plenty of time. She's very courteous and was quick to respond to my questions. She made me feel very valued and that my opinions truly mattered to her. Her prices are very reasonable and I will definitly be a repeat buyer and highly reccomend purchasing her one of a kind made in the USA items

I am 77 years old and I wanted to do something special and personal for my family this year for Christmas. I decided to do my family DNA heritage research and have a photograph done.

I wanted Black and White and she delivered wayyyyy more than I thought possible at my age. She worked with me until we got something I liked and hoped my family would love. They did!

Like I mean a work of ART! I can't say it enough she's super worth it! She's easy to work with! She makes me feel super comfortable and confident even though I'm always anxious lol. Since I booked her as my wedding photographer, she met up with me to go over the important moments and things I wanted captured for our upcoming wedding.

Needless to say, I lost all the money I spent on the shoot but I'm glad I didn't waste time with a shoot because I've heard only bad things from friends who booked through the company. One signed a contract saying her boudoir photos were not to be released anywhere and they ended up all over the company's Facebook page.

However, I am not an artist. And you would not want me doing your wedding photography for you. This concept is very important to remember when your Uncle Dan or your cousin Sally, who has a really nice new camera that she's just been itching to use, offers to do your wedding photography for you. Please turn and run directly to Jamie Lang. This woman is absolutely an artist. She was recommended by friends, and I only had to look at her website to know that I wanted her as our wedding photographer. She understands all the little nuances that take a photo from being "nice" or "kinda neat" to "absolutely breathtaking." Not only that, but she's a total hoot, and a pleasure to work with. You can tell that she loves what she does, and is excited to collaborate with you on your ideas for what the perfect wedding photos should be. On the day of the wedding, she was everywhere at once, yet unobtrusive (she caught a ton of moments that I didn't even realize she was there for), and she helped us to laugh during some tense moments with my insane father. In fact, probably some of our best laughing/smiling moments were captured when she was cleverly zinging him from behind her camera. We spent a lot of time and energy planning and putting our wedding together, and the evening went by in a blur. Upon looking at the photos for the first time, I was amazed at how well she had captured everything, and how beautifully. It was like reliving the night again. That's what you want in your wedding photography. If you want to ensure that you'll get it, then go with Jamie.
