Erin Nicole Brown Photography has worked with our growing family twice now, and each time has been…read morean absolute joy!! We first met with Erin for a mini family shoot for a neighborhood pool fundraiser. She worked hard to ensure we got some fantastic shots in the short time we had. She made the experience fun and enjoyable!! The shots she got were beautiful and really captured the joys of our crazy family. Erin also did our fall photos for our Christmas cards this year. Even though our 4 month old wasn't the most cooperative, Erin was able to capture the quick moments where he didn't look fussy and we appeared to be a happy and comfortable family. The pictures are perfection and flattering to all the members of the family.We will definitely be using Erin Nicole Brown Photography again for future shoots. We highly recommend!!

We had so much fun working with her that day. She also took COVID very seriously and got tested and wore a mask the entire time. So grateful she could capture our family milestones. I highly recommend her.

When I browse yelp, I keep in mind the context-- does a vendor have 500 average reviews or fewer…read moremore heart-felt riveting reviews? To me... the latter makes all the difference. Stephanie is a true testament to this. We are SO lucky to have found her. We LOVE her work and she is a true gem of a human to work with. She has been nothing but accommodating, responsive, and timely, (both with the shoot and sending proofs, sharing information, etc.). She was also understanding when she arrived as scheduled for our shoot, but my newborn was still feeding. I felt terrible, but she just gets it. And of course, while I could rave about her kind-heartedness, passion, and professionalism, her talent speaks for itself. Her newborn photography style is sophisticated, natural, and comfortable. It is not articulated or contrived. She has a true eye for lighting and the right angles. Additionally, she guided us through the whole process, from styling to sending us a pre-shoot guide, on how to declutter your space, prepare for photo day, ease your newborn into it, and what to expect. She was transparent with pricing (definitely on the high end, but worth the splurge) and offers various packages based on your budget. If you haven't guessed it by now... I would highly recommend her. Note: We did this (after much deliberation and concern) during Covid-19. Our baby was only 2.5 weeks old. We did an in-home shoot. She came to us. Prior to the shoot, she explained how cautious she is and how she sanitizes everything and prioritizes the baby's safety first. Having completed the shoot, she definitely did. She was respectful of our concerns and did not take anything personally at all. Of course, we all wore masks and she confirmed that she asks her clients about their exposure and any symptoms they could be experiencing. It was comforting to know she checked in with other clients and was open and transparent with us. She brought her own props that were cleaned but we mostly used our own. If she had not taken these precautions, or another vendor had done less, I can say that we definitely would not have gone ahead with the shoot, but she made us comfortable during a difficult time. Thank you, Stephanie, for these precious memories! We look forward to booking again.

Working with Stephanie for our maternity and newborn photos absolutely exceeded our expectations,…read moreand we are so grateful for the memories she captured for us so beautifully. More than an amazing photographer, Stephanie is incredibly kind and makes you feel so comfortable and confident during your shoot. I loved the dresses I got to wear from her client wardrobe and loved the additional services I received with my package (hair and makeup). I highly recommend Honikel Photography. We are so happy to have found Stephanie and plan to work with her for our family photos for years to come.

I've used Claire many times as my photographer. She is the sweetest person to work with and has an…read moreamazing eye! She has a real talent for capturing beauty in the smallest details. Caire took the most beautiful maternity pictures of me as well as amazing shots of my kids during our family session! She is very patient and so good with kids! She knows how to get their attention, work with toddlers and make them feel like they are having fun! During our session Claire ensured that she got the best shots, by making adjustments to my hair or a piece of clothing so everything fell just perfectly! Not only is she great with families, but she is very versatile in her style and does graduate sessions for seniors (high school AND College), as well as engagement, newborn, professional, headshots, modeling and artisic. I was blown away with the versatility of her work and how beautiful it is! On top of her being an amazing talent in her field, she is very affordable and has great specials! She also has a great referral program! If you want beautiful pictures for any occasion , that don't look like everyone else's and will be remembered for a lifetime, call Claire!

Can't say enough great things about Nicole, no matter what occasion, we will want her again! Even…read morebefore the photo shoot itself, from the very beginning, Nicole has been so personable, caring, attentive, and calm. She really knows -- even more than I did at the start -- how important professional photos are for preserving the essence of a special day. So with just two weeks to go until our micro wedding, my husband and I hired her. Our first meeting to get to know each other and go over the order of the wedding day was incredibly important to feel comfortable with each other and to get to know what kinds of photos we'd want. The wedding day started at my family home in Maryland (party of 9) and then we drove into Washington, DC for an outdoor virtual wedding with the courthouse officiating. It of course rained almost all day, but Nicole was prepared for all eventualities and knew what to do to make sure we got the best photos. She is full of great ideas! In the end, we were actually grateful it rained because it offered us the best lighting and the least interruptions from passing tourists. We are so looking forward to the photos she captured and love her classic editing style. We only wish we got one with her in them because she now feels like a part of our family after sharing our special day with us.

Do not waste your time in Sweet Pea Studios. I had a bad feeling when I booked since all their…read morereviews were very old (yrs old), I should have listened to my gut. This has been the most difficult business that I have had to deal with during such a difficult time (postpartum and medical conditions). It has been blatantly obvious that she has no good faith effort in doing business with us and to the point its just unethical and unprofessional. I have tried really hard to work with Krystal Culpepper and gone above and beyond because $400 is a lot of money for us and it's just not fair. She is either too busy or doesn't care because she have already been paid 65% of total amount. Krystal has shown zero professionalism, been unreliable and has shown a lack of good faith effort in your business practices. Krystal purposely taking advantage of situation and acting maliciously since she got mostly paid already. Krytal emailed me that we have breached contract for not paying 3 days in advance of session date is ridiculous business sense. She wanted us to blindly pay her when we received zero communications. 1. I booked our May 10 session on March 19th 2024 and heard NOTHING proactive from her since then. No follow up on needs, preferences, types of pictures we wanted, locations, where to meet, confirm time, nothing. Only the automatic payment reminders that have always had the wrong due dates since starting to do business with you in July 2023. a. I had to follow up with Krystal on May 1st to confirm time since I never got final confirmation with accurate time. b. I again, followed up with Krystal on May 9 to confirm, location we should meet, what to bring, etc. No response. c. In all these exchanges, Krystal Culpepper didn't even bother as a business courtesy, to remind payment was due AND be professional and finalize details. Krsytal Culpepper purposely waited until noon the day of our session day to cancel on us. I can go one, before this session, I had inquired about rescheduling session and after telling her that never mind, I will keep my original session because I sensed how difficult it was going to be... Krystal said she would accommodate to my time but ended up limiting 4 out of 7 days and blocking her calendar after I had pulled available dates from her calendar. Mind you, this was a family session that we had to settle because she wouldn't refund us our newborn session deposit. Or, how Krystal texted me the morning of our schedule newborn session date to cancel due to her medical reasons and were later told her return date was unknown but our newborn reservation fee of 50% was non-refundable. We had to mourn the fact that we were not going to be newborn pictures with our last baby as we could not afford to schedule another session despite the fact that SHE cancelled on us and were UNABLE to provide services. Instead, she "offered" us to reschedule our newborn session, how do you reschedule a newborn session when your baby is already three months old? Even though the contract said "newborn session reservation fee." She said she offering to transfer to another type of session ??!?!?! After she breached the contract. She refuses to refund us our "newborn session reservation fee," that she was unable to provide services and zero services have been provided--my baby is now 7.5 months old.
