She was great with our daughter, and was able to get her to open up and be herself. We had an hour long photo session in a nearby park and Amara got some fantastic pictures of our daughter as well as us as a family. After the photo session, Amara got us preview pictures within a couple days. She was very responsive and helped us make some minor photo edits where necessary. I would definitely work with her again, and would recommend her to any families looking for toddler and family pictures.

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Iris for our family photoshoot. From the very…read morebeginning, she went above and beyond to help me prepare. She put together beautiful seasonal color palettes, offered thoughtful suggestions on clothing textures based on the lighting and time of day, and patiently reviewed countless outfit combinations I sent her. Shopping and coordinating outfits for the whole family can be overwhelming, but Iris made the process surprisingly fun, manageable, and even exciting. Iris also suggested a shooting location that turned out to be absolutely perfect, which was peaceful, naturally beautiful, and not too crowded. Her warm, down-to-earth personality immediately put all of us at ease, especially my kids, who felt comfortable with her right away. She even brought a little music box with our kids' favorite songs, which helped keep them happy and allowed her to capture the most natural, joyful moments. The final photos are stunning, and our family and friends (especially the grandparents!) can't stop praising them. Communication with Iris has been smooth, friendly, and effortless from start to finish. These photos will be cherished for years to come, and I'm so grateful for her talent, attention to detail, and the heartfelt care she put into every step of the experience. Highly, highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Kate and her photography enough! We had an engagement photo session in January…read morewith her. While we were very nervous to be in the spotlight, Kate made us feel right at home. She got us thinking about ideas, props, location and clothing before the shoot which was very helpful. She is completely gay-friendly, which was also very comforting. We had a few locations in our neighborhood for the shoot; indoor and outdoor. Kate was excellent at making us feel comfortable and gently giving us direction, giving us lots of reason to giggle and be ourselves. She was incredibly professional and the photos are to die for. The turn around time was very quick in receiving our photos; we receive so many compliments on them! Thank you so much Kate for capturing our relationship so beautifully!

Kate was recommended to the hubby and myself by S&B, whose wedding she had photographed the year before. I can't say enough how much I love the pictures that she's taken of us during our engagement session and of our friends, family, venue, everything (and us!) at our wedding... despite how weird and awkward the hubby and I can be sometimes. ;) I also can't say enough how much I love Kate as our photographer (yes, not just the photos!). She's warm and friendly, and our guests all had nice things to say about her. (My mom also had to point out that she was impressed with how Kate was up, down, and all around, shooting away).

Her staff is also filled with the most polite, responsive people, I always had immediate answers to any question, and her second shooter the day of was a god send. She put my husband and I at such ease in front of the camera, it allowed for the most beautiful pictures. She is such a professional, never once did I feel as if she was being intrusive taking photos, yelling directions etc., she creates such a stress free natural day. We were so happy with our pictures from our wedding, we have recommended her to many friends.

So much so, I started getting her perspective on things like timelines! Through it all she was a positive calming force.

They were extremely effective with time, and the locations we wanted to take pictures at. Just the sweetest people, I honestly want to be her friend if I ever move back to Boston. =D At the end, I got amazingly beautiful pictures, and great memories that will last forever. Thanks Steph! It was a pleasure working with you!!!

Laura Shachmut is an incredible photographer. She puts so much talent, energy, creativity, and…read moreintelligence into her shoots, the props she brings, the ideas she has. She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!

My boyfriend and I did a shoot around Boston, and the pictures came out wonderful. Though the final prints are quite pricey, they are WELL worth it. Some are hanging up in our apartment, and we love them. Also, here photo gallery online (you get a private login and can view yours when they are ready), is interactive and well done. Very easy to mark your favorites and determine which ones you want to order. I would recommend picking the right day and the right season you're wanting because Lisa REALLY has a great eye for light. She uses it to the picture's advantage, so therefore, it is in your advantage! Lisa is wonderful and I'd definitely work with her again.

I have to say that her pictures are excellent and she does excellent portraits. She does the…read morepictures of our kids at school (hired by the school) every year. She offers packages that are quite expensive but, for no reason, she doesn't include the digital files. I'm not asking for the originals. She could even be providing watered down versions (lower quality) in the package but no, she charges for them at very very expensive prices. After purchasing a package, I wrote to her asking for the digital files. I asked for two files and she wrote back asking for more than $100 dollars. My response was obviously no. She lost a business opportunity there. This year I also learned that the packages don't include the digital files but only the printed pictures. Someone should tell her we live in the age of Facebook, Twitter and email. Grandparents and family members may enjoy seeing the pictures on their computers instantly. The price for an extra digital file if you purchase a package: $38 dollars. If not purchasing a package: $79 dollars Makes no sense to me. Thats why, although she is a good photographer with a great eye for portraits, she isn't very savvy with her prices and clients. I would definitely recommend simplifying the package choices and providing digital files (even lower quality and not the original .raw files) for parents to share.

We had an amazing experience with Sister City Photography for our annual Christmas card photos…read more Daniela went above and beyond from start to finish. We chose to shoot in the South End to capture the beautiful brownstones and fall foliage, and the photos turned out even better than I imagined. Our situation was a bit tricky because we were working around a sleepy 6-month-old. Daniela kindly adjusted her schedule at the last minute so our baby could take a full nap beforehand, something any parent will appreciate! During the shoot, she gave us so much direction on how to stand, pose, and find the best lighting, which made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. People walking by even stopped to say how great the photos were going to look -- and they were right. The images came out stunning. I've received so many compliments on our Christmas card this year, and it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful of photos because everything she captured was perfect. Daniela truly brought my vision to life and beautifully documented our memories in Boston. I can't recommend Sister City Photography enough for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality family photos.

She was also so great at directing us for different and creative poses and where to get the best shots. We received so many compliments on both our engagement and wedding pictures. We highly recommend her for any photography! We feel so fortunate to have found her and honestly couldn't ask for a better experience and more beautiful pictures. We would definitely work with her again!
