    Mary at 77 years Glamour Photo
    Mary M.

    I usually get my glamour photo done every five years but because of COVID most of the photographers I had used in the past either went out of business or was just not working anymore so it took me 2 years past my 75th year to find a replacement. I did, by some stroke of luck, find a new photographer. I had the pleasure of being photographed by Brandon of Rugged Heart Productions for my 77th year Glamour photo. He was so very professional from start to finish. He had to line up the make up artist and the hair stylist of which he did a fantastic job. Everything went great. The setting was great and he did a fantastic job. He actually did so well that we only took a very few number of photos but they were all so good and hard to choose from. If you truly want a great photo shoot without any problems and someone that will work with you very closely to get the photo you are wanting, I highly recommend Brandon at Rugged Heart Productions. Thank you Brandon. I will use you exclusively from now on. I am a VERY satisfied customer! Mary M.

    One of my glorious picture! He did his thing!!

    I can't exactly remember how I found Liz but I don't care, I'm just glad I did!…read more We booked a studio newborn session for our first little one and the entire experience and final product was more than we could have hoped for. It started with a lovely phone call for us to get to know each other and for Liz to get to know what our goal was for the photos. In our case the studio session was the right call. Our little one had some minor issues that left our hospital discharge date in limbo but Liz was so kind and accommodating in working with us to find the best day. It was a relief because it allowed my husband to join and worked around his crazy schedule. The studio is warm and welcoming. Liz is such an easy and gentle person and it was such a pleasure to chat with her during the session. Being a nurse and having little ones herself made me feel extra safe handing over my two week old for a couple of hours. She was really receptive to our wants for the photos. They turned out absolutely adorable! I squealed when I got the final images. We got some family shots, some cutesy shots, and some detail shots as well. A perfect mix to remember our baby girl's first few weeks of life. If you're anywhere in the DMV area I encourage you to reach out to Liz. Once you chat with her for a minute I'm certain you'll book her for your maternity or baby photos. We can't wait to return for more photos as our little one grows. Thank you Liz!

Liz was so kind, patient, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the session. Her studio was beautiful and inviting, and her pricing was very reasonable for the AMAZING quality of work she provides. We're so glad we chose her and highly recommend LVP to anyone looking for a professional and relaxed photo experience!

    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!

    Our photo session with Stacey was amazing! Working with 3 kids isn't always easy, but she laughed…read morewith them, engaged them and listened to what they wanted in addition to getting the photos she had in mind. The kids felt they were included in the process and were therefore happy to comply with her requests. She has a gentle and very effective way of working with people and I greatly appreciate that! We cannot wait to see our photos! :) and we look forward to working with Stacey again in the future!!

    Amazing experience.Excellent communication and service. I would definitely hire them again.read more

    You should be aware that the owner (Mary) is not the photographer. She has no knowledge of, or…read morecontrol over, the photographer's work. I cannot recommend this photographer. I paid $450 for professional photography for my daughter's first birthday, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that cost over $7,000. I trusted this photographer to capture such a special occasion, but the final gallery was extremely disappointing. Many of the photos were taken from low, unflattering angles, had poor composition, or were unnecessarily repetitive. Several important moments were either missed or not captured well. What was even more disappointing was the response afterward. When I raised my concerns, the photographer claimed that the angles had been "edited to eye level." That explanation made little sense. While editing can adjust exposure, color, and cropping, it generally cannot change the original camera angle or perspective. A photo taken from a low angle cannot realistically be transformed into an eye-level shot through editing alone. The photographer also failed to avoid obvious reflections in people's eyeglasses. Can you imagine paying $450 for professional photos, only to receive images in which bright white glare obscures people's eyes and faces? Instead of acknowledging the problems or offering a reasonable solution, Mary, the owner, refused to take responsibility or provide a refund. This was my daughter's once-in-a-lifetime first birthday, and after spending over $7,000 on the celebration, I expected professional-quality photographs that would preserve those memories. Unfortunately, both the quality of the photographs and the customer service fell far below my expectations.
