Karen definitely found her calling with photography. She puts so much behind the scenes thought and effort into her sessions, whether it's outdoors or in her studio with backdrops and props. So grateful for being introduced to Karen!

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing. I would absolutely recommend Lily Dong Photography to anyone who needs quality photos, especially if you're a little camera-shy like me.

I trusted his vision from the start - I met Joseph through corporate lifestyle product shoots I was a part of with Oru Kayak. When my partner and I got engaged, I knew he was the person for the big day. He catches the magic light, never misses a sweet moment and has a cinematic way to capture the feeling. He and his team are organized, calm and flexible - so you can get through all of the group shots quickly. He's especially great with little kids. We would definitely recommend him!

Great communication every step of the way - from booking to day of, and with delivery of photos. Joseph was very thoughtful in recommending photoshoot locations, and also accommodating when I had to reschedule because of last-minute travel. The session itself was even more fun than the first time! Working with Joseph is like hanging out with a friend. He's so easygoing and we had a blast with him! Even in a location you've been to before, Joseph can find hidden spots for photos. We're planning to make family photoshoots with Joseph a tradition and have also recommended FATE Factory to several of our friends.

We had an excellent experience with Jenny Dee Photography. Jenny and George (Jenny's husband and…read moreassistant photographer) were communicative and helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding reception. Their template for our "desired and must-get" photos list was very helpful for organizing, and our phone conversations with them were great for figuring out what we wanted and hammering out logistics. On the day of the wedding, we had morning activities and an evening reception. Jenny and George were on time and enthusiastic for everything. They were flexible as our schedule shifted slightly throughout the day, and they were very active in making sure we got all the photos from our list. Now that we have the final photos, we can also say that we are thrilled with the results. Great candids, great staged photos, and we really like the editing style. Overall: would highly recommend for your wedding or event.

Our experience with JennyDee Photography was excellent from our initial emails all the way until we…read morereceived the final photos. Jenny and Geo (her husband and assistant photographer) are very responsive, professional, and committed to providing you all the shots you want. My husband and I hired JennyDee Photography for both our Engagement and Wedding photography and we could not be more pleased. We had multiple calls in the months leading up to the wedding to align on what we wanted, discussed the overall wedding timeline, and provided the list of shots we wanted. Their website also has example timelines for photography, which were very helpful as we planned our day and allowed us to not compress everything too much. Working with Jenny and Geo is also a great experience. They are organized, funny, kind, and encouraging -- they will help pose you as needed, but generally allow for a very genuine capture of the day. They are also very organized and will help keep things moving efficiently without being overbearing -- I could trust that they would get all the shots we needed without feeling like I needed to check in, and both posed and candid shots were phenomenal. Finally, all the photographs we received from JennyDee Photography (in less than a month!) are joy and whimsy personified. They managed to capture the color, vibrancy, and happiness of that day in the photographs -- I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I reviewed the gallery. The photography and editing style is so vibrant, genuine and fun in a sea of very muted photography nowadays-- I will lovingly look at the pictures for years to come. I could not recommend them more highly. Photo Credits: @JennyDeePhotography

This was our second year doing a family photo shoot with Amy. Her photos are pure magic. She is…read moresomehow able to get amazing shots of two insane toddlers with no attention span whatsoever who can't seem to sit still at all during a shoot. She is able to put them at ease and draw out lots of laughs, and is so easygoing and kind. She makes the shoot experience much less stressful. It's clear that she really knows the sites she picks very well. Both times, she knew exactly when and where to stand for the best light and shadows and the most beautiful settings. She is so good at capturing truly magical shots where the light is hitting everybody's faces just perfectly-- they look like they belong in editorials in magazines. She does a really lovely mix of both posed and more candid shots. And, if it matters to you, she doesn't use AI to edit her photos. This is all her own skill. Last year, when we sent out our holiday cards using Amy's photos of our family, so many friends and family were floored by how lovely the photography was. Her work really is a cut above. I cannot recommend her enough!

On the evening of our session, she made us all feel comfortable like we were hanging out with a friend. She was amazing with our 4 year old son and Shiba Inu. My son was so comfortable that he started doing his own poses and giving suggestions on how we should pose next. Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!! We would highly recommend Amy and will turn to her for our future photo sessions!
