Pictures capture important moments in your life. You can certainly find deals online, or clip…read morecoupons for your department store photo studio. You'll save a few bucks, but you'll greatly sacrifice quality. I used to do this by going to Picture People and JCP, but no longer. I would rather have my precious moments beautifully captured, because you can never recreate these moments. In fact, I now regret going to JCP and Picture People in the past, because the quality was not as good, and I can never redo newborn shots with my eldest kid. Like others, we used to go to Picture People. In a way it was good that they closed because it allowed us to find At Home Studios. Ken and Stephanie are absolutely wonderful. A few differences between Ken and your typical portrait studio: 1. At regular studios like JCP or Sears, random people are trained on how to use a camera. It's not their full time profession; it just provides a paycheck. Whereas with At Home Studios, Ken's passion is photography and that is all he has done for most of his life. The passion is evident in the fact that his pictures are far superior to anything you could get in a department store. 2. They treat you like family. At Picture People we had to wait 30-60 minutes, even with a scheduled appointment. And we had to wait another 30-60 minutes just to get our pictures on CD. Not to mention them rushing you through the photo shoot so they could take more customers. It was a dreadful experience, whereas we were welcomed into Ken and Stephanie's home like we were family, and didn't have to wait in a queue. 3. Ken is absolutely wonderful with kids, and very patient. He was patient with us as our newborn needed to feed and also change an outfit. Our toddler wasn't interested in looking at the camera, but Ken took care of that with his humor. Our toddler was still talking about him for days after we left. 4. At the typical portrait studio, they only give you about 8-10 shots, whereas Ken gives you much more (all of the good ones). I was always surprised that Picture People used to take so many pictures during the sessions, but only gave us limited number on CD. 5. If you are going to frame your pics, ask Ken to do it. He will touch it up and it will look much better than doing it yourself at CVS or Walgreens. Ken has more expertise on touching up pics than a traditional studio would. And request the frames that day, or you'll never get around to it. Ken and Stephanie aren't pushy and not after every penny like Picture People used to be; you'll have to ask if you want specific prints. Picture People never used to let you leave until you listened to their sales pitch, which was quite annoying when you've already been waiting around in the store for 2 hours. 6. By the end of the session, I felt as if we were with family. In a world where encountering rude people has unfortunately become normal, it was refreshing to meet some really nice people. 7. US Military dignity: Ken and Stephanie have a military family. Their children serve and have been stationed in various places. Being away from your family and pledging your life for your country requires honor and dignity. It is not just an individual sacrifice, but that of the entire military family. This is highly relevant, because such a high level of dignity means that you won't feel cheated. They will do their best to provide you with what you came for, and won't take shortcuts. Ken and Stephanie's art will be with us for the rest of our lives. It's so much more beautiful than anything else we have gotten from the department stores. We're so happy to have found them.

About a year ago I decided to hire a professional photographer. My daughter was turning 3 and I had done countless photo shoots at small local studios in my area. While they may have been pretty, none of them can compare to the images Michele was able to capture. Her work is truly artwork that will be passed down for generations. One is more beautiful than the other and she makes it seems so easy. It can be quite challenging to work with a toddler but my daughter didn't even realize she was being photographed. She was simply having fun. I'm still in awe every time I look at the images Michele captured and you will be too.

I had so many complicated requests with not a lot of information- rainbow bridesmaids, fall foliage, dog involved - all at a location I had never been to with rooms I couldn't describe. I wanted lots of candids and a lot of fun; I wanted the photos to capture my fun and quirky group of friends and now-husband just being us. Todd spent so much time on the phone with me to get a firm idea of what I wanted and how he could do it, and he made every dream I've ever had come true. People were late, people trickled in at odd times, some people wore masks, and he and Dannette worked with, and through, all of it. With all my goals in mind, he helped me choose the best spots to stand without ever interfering with the joy of the day. I almost cried when I looked at the completed album from the day. They are so fun, vibrant, and alive. Best photos of my dog I've ever seen (and I have taken a lot), you could actually go to the end of the rainbow bridesmaid line and search for the pot of gold, and the leaves are absolutely going off with color in the background. I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life. OH- and he also captured the religious ceremony the week before and did the impossible - made my mom happy. He and Dannette are such an incredible team. Finally, a MAJOR selling point is that everything with Todd is clear from the beginning- the cost of everything, his commitment, and his style. I feel so lucky that we hired him for our wedding.

Then I saw Todd's stuff. It was the first time I felt that a photographer was actually capturing the spirit and energy of the wedding. His pictures were FUN! And isn't that what a wedding is supposed to be? So we traveled almost 2 hours from where we live to meet with Todd in New Jersey. And he was so chill. And relaxed. And easy going. A nice change of pace from the madness of this wedding world. It was a no brainer. And when you book Todd, you MUST book the second photographer as well. We were lucky enough to get Danette, who is AWESOME in her own right. But getting a second photographer allows Todd to get creative. And that's what you want. Because when he gets creative, your wedding pictures turn out awesome. Our guests were calling Todd and Danette the ninjas, because they were literally effortless and yet everywhere, but you hardly noticed them at the same time. Todd leaked 20 photos from our wedding on Facebook a few days after our big day, and all our guests were blown away. My cousin said to me, "Whatever you paid your photographer, double it." Others told us that they were the best wedding pictures they'd ever seen. We received our full gallery a month after the wedding, which was crazy fast. Thank you Todd and Danette, we couldn't be happier!! -James and Shannon
