I cannot recommend this photographer at all. This was our second year booking her, and the…read moredifference from last year was appalling. Our Christmas mini session didn't even last the full 15 minutes and felt rushed. When we received the photos, most were dark, had harsh shadows on our faces, and looked nothing like the quality we got last year. Honestly, they looked worse than what I could have taken on an iPhone. When I emailed to address the issues, she ignored me and instead posted a passive-aggressive Instagram story aimed at my concerns. She only responded after I called her out. I was truly shocked at how she responded with no concern for whether her clients are happy. Her attitude made it clear she does not care about client satisfaction. Whatever she says goes, and she has no interest in fixing mistakes or making anything right. The quality of her work has gone downhill, and the way she treats clients is completely unacceptable. Her Instagram may look polished, but that is not reality. Even the typos on her website and prep guide were red flags for how unprofessional she is. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. This entire experience was a huge disappointment from start to finish.

We've been getting our family photos taken by Patience for the last four years, and every single…read moresession has been incredible. She goes above and beyond every time. From wrangling energetic kids to capturing those perfect candid moments, she somehow makes the whole process feel effortless and fun. Her photos are truly the heart of our home. They're framed all over our walls and end up on our Christmas card every year. She's also photographed several of our family members and friends, and everyone raves about her work just as much as we do. Patience is warm, professional, and unbelievably talented. If you're looking for a local NJ photographer who delivers stunning results and genuinely cares about her clients, you've found your person. We honestly could not recommend her enough!

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.

Jenna is the MOST INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WEDDING BUSINESS!! My cousin discovered Jenna for…read moreher PA wedding in 2020 where I immediately knew I would be using her for my NJ December 2023 wedding. THEN, my sister used Jenna for her PA May 2024 wedding! In addition to being our wedding day photographer for all three of our weddings she also did all three of our engagement photo shoots. I had a specific vision for my engagement photos and asked Jenna to do non-traditional engagement photos in our home and SHE DELIVERED! Being in our home taking our engagement photos was such a special moment for my husband and it made us much more comfortable then being out in public. If you have a vision, let Jenna know, she will make it happen! Not only did my wedding photos come out gorgeous (I still look at them almost daily) but what really made Jenna the best wedding vendor I booked, was the level of professionalism and comfortability she gave myself and my husband. Having your photos taken isn't always the most natural thing for regular folks but Jenna made myself and my husband feel SO comfortable and it SHOWS In the photos! You can see our smiles are genuine both in our engagement photos and wedding day photos. Jenna gave easy directions, didn't over direct and always was looking for opportunities to make us smile and laugh! I also really appreciate that Jenna is not glued to a clock, and she worked with how your day flows and does not leave until every moment is captured. Jenna met with us several times prior to our wedding day to plan and prepare and I felt very supported leading to the day of my wedding and had no fears going into the big day! Jenna captured the best day of our lives with beautiful photos that I will cherish forever! I will always be thankful for Jenna and her work on our wedding day. She already knows that she will be booked for all my other cousin's future weddings AND personally all other big moments in my life that need a photographer i.e. Family Photos, New Baby! WE LOVE YOU JENNA! THANK YOU! ALL NJ BRIDE BOOK JENNA ASAP!

Vendor review: Jenna…read morePerfette Photography - Do Not Recommend We used this vendor for our engagement shoot. Although the pictures were okay, some were good (I give credit where due) - I would be doing a disservice to the brides on here by not telling you - unless you have no budget - go elsewhere. I cannot begin to tell you how expensive this was. My fiancé planned it as a surprise and was never told about the price list, nor is it on her site or Facebook. He was told $350 for the shoot, $250 for the shoot and $100 for a package. Now, he was under the impression, because he wasn't told otherwise, or provided anything that the package is for prints, or photo albums etc. But in fact, even for the digital copies, you have to pay either $40 PER PICTURE or $550 for all. This is in addition to the $350. Other packages are $900+ (again, in addition to the $250). I don't know about you ladies, but it was deceptive to be told this after we had the shoot and paid the $350. When I inquired about the digital only, she admits she isn't the cheapest but says we are paying for the 'experience' as well. I wasn't going to Disney, I was getting a few photos taken. I hope this information is helpful for anyone looking for a engagement shoot. This photographer is 3x's the cost of others I've seen - who are just as good. Needless to say, had we had all the information upfront, we would have went elsewhere. I'm happy to send anyone a copy of the price list - if you need it as it's not public. It's information I wish I had! It's not like me to put bad reviews, but after I expressed concern twice about the expense and she had zero to no interest in helping to apologizing for a lack of transparency in the beginning - I now feel obligated to warn others.
