We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

Lynn Taborga is an incredibly talented photographer. The quality of her work is an attestation to…read moreher innate skill and artistic eye. Lynn has photographed some of the most monumental and significant moments of my life -- from my engagement to our newborn baby boy, and everything in between. At the last session, she took newborn photos of our son, and these photographs are just perfect. I really don't know how she does it! Not only does she take amazing photographs, she is also so great to work with. Her laid back nature and level of professionalism are a rare combination -- one that makes her easy to be around and fun to work with. I will continue to use Lynn Taborga Photography, and highly recommend that you do the same! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

He had natural ease about him that put us equally at ease. He directed our movements with patience. He took us to many unique locations I would not have considered as an ideal photo spot, but every single one was incredible. My pictures came back incredibly fast. No matter what the occasion, next time I want professional pictures, I am absolutely calling on Eric again.

Eric is truly amazing at what he does. I reached out to him with a unique request. He was…read moreresponsive, I'm talking within minutes (via text and email), and very helpful. I had an idea that I wanted to come to life and he delivered just that! He helped me find a location to do my photoshoot. We were battling potential heavy rains, harsh light and high humidity on this day but he was extremely flexible with the environment and schedules. He delivers great quality photos unique to each person/ session. His turnaround time is great as well. So glad I found him as I am looking forward to including Eric and his work in more of my life's milestones.

Olga fit us in after baby was born for a mini session and took gorgeous photos. She was great with…read morebaby and even retouched some baby acne that came on the day of the shoot. Olga had several different set ups ready when we arrived and let us prioritize which ones we preferred. She took many photos to ensure she got goods ones and gave us the full hour and half she promised. The only downside was that its a long process. Our photoshoot took place at 10 days after delivery, and we received the CD we ordered with accompanying photos and a canvas when baby was 7 weeks old. As a result, our birth announcement went out when baby was 2 months old. It's a lot of work on her part so I can understand why it takes so long, but you should be aware in case you want to use photos for any particular purpose.

Olga is so incredibly talented! Newborn photos are tricky and truly an art, and she nails them…read more My son (10 days old at the time) fought sleep like crazy, but she was incredibly patient and took all the time needed to capture beautiful photos. Her studio is spacious and she has a ton of props, but she also let us use our own. I couldn't be happier with the finished product. She is well worth the cost.

Most know the saying "you get what you pay for"; well with Ellie it couldn't be more true! I've…read morebeen cruising the internet for months (yes, months) now trying to find a place my fiancé and I can get photos taken. First I purchased a Groupon, then quickly returned it after reading the reviews ($19 but the reviews were horrifying!)... Then, since it's the holidays, JC Penny has a sale right now so I was going to do that, then when I spoke with them on the phone it sounded more like a drive-through photo session (you get 10 minutes and if you're late AT ALL you lose your spot), so I said -- naah... Anyway, you get where I'm going with this - I couldn't find anything "good" until I searched Google and Ellie's name appeared. I read the reviews, went on her website and saw the prices. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that kind of money but hey - it's an hour long shoot, the reviews are amazing and it's something special for my fiancé and me so what the heck right?! :) YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! She is so sweet, poses you in many different positions, and even gives you the option to do your own thing/poses if you want. Well worth the money I promise! And if you won't take my word for it read the other reviews! :) She's a gem! I had no idea what to expect, but something about her just makes you feel at ease and able to have a nice session whether it's a boudoir, family photos, or just nice pics like what my fiancé & I wanted. Thank you Ellie! KR
