Irma was absolutely amazing from the first moment that I reached out to her. I had discovered her…read morework at my obgyn office and decided to direct message her. She was super responsive and we immediately set up a video call to chat. She seemed to really care about what I was looking for in a photo session and had some really good suggestions and insights. She even had some amazing dresses I could use if I needed. We settled on a date and fast forward a couple months did a family/maternity photo shoot with my husband and daughter at an outdoor location that she suggested. It was beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. The setting was amazing and she came super prepared with bubbles for my toddler and a pop-up tent if I needed to change outfits. The only downside to all of this was there were so many good photos to choose from that I couldn't not purchase less than 30 edits. Obviously that is not really a downside and just shows how great Irma's work was. The additional physical items that come with the packages (I.e., photo book, canvas, accordion book, etc.) were also a nice touch because I normally never invest in something like that and it will be totally worth it in the long run and make great gifts for the grandparents Lastly, Irma was super patient with my many questions and all the back and forth and never made me feel like I was bugging her. Taking photos can be an uncomfortable situation if you're not used to it and Irma just made the whole experience super fun and enjoyable. My daughter absolutely adored her so that's always a great sign Thank you Peanutlove!!!

We booked a special mini session with Alecia and I can't recommend her enough! I had a little…read moretrouble booking through her website, but she quickly responded and helped me troubleshoot. When the last spot was taken, she messaged me directly to let me know she opened up more times. We met her at a little park where she was set up and ready to go as she had back-to-back mini-sessions. Despite it being a mini session (just 15 minutes I think?); we never felt rushed. I'm not sure how she accomplished that! She must be a wizard! During the shoot, I felt confident she got some great shots. She had a blanket set up on the grass for our 6-month-old upon arrival. 6-month-olds are tricky since our baby couldn't sit on her own, and she also refused to lay on her back. Alecia was clever with her poses and had my baby girl and our 5-year-old son lay on their tummies. We moved to several locations in the park including a cute wooden footbridge. We got a very cute shot with her laying her head on his shoulder! Alecia was so sweet and had great energy during the shoot! We really enjoyed her personality and vibe! We felt so comfortable which is so important when you're doing a photoshoot. Although we didn't do a full family shoot, we just did our two children, she really made us feel at ease! I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! We loved the photos and I'm grateful we were able to catch our kiddos at this moment in time: my son's 5th birthday and our daughter at 6 months. Children grow so quickly and I truly treasure having these photos. If you're looking for a sweet photographer who can get your kiddos so smile, make you feel at ease, and capture bright, cheerful photos, look no further -- Gingerly Snapped checks all the boxes!
