From the start, working with her was extremely professional. She was very timely with her email responses and was even able to fit us in on short notice. Her studio is attached to her home, and has a ton of props and outfits for newborns. She was so great with our newborn, she was able to soothe him and keep him calm between the outfit changes. Her patience was unbelievable! She accommodated all our requests for poses and props, with no hesitation. I will recommend H. Lane photography to all my friends and family.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Doru and the senior photos he took of my daughter at…read moreLoyola University! From the moment we met him, he put my daughter at ease with his friendly demeanor and clear direction. Doru has an incredible eye for capturing both the iconic Loyola campus spots and finding unique, unexpected settings that made my daughter's photos truly stand out. He knew exactly how to work with the natural light and architecture to create stunning compositions that perfectly captured this milestone in her life. What impressed me most was how he balanced professionalism with making the session fun and relaxed. My daughter isn't usually comfortable in front of the camera, but Doru's encouragement and gentle guidance brought out her authentic smile and personality in every shot. The turnaround time was impressive, and when we received the final gallery, we were absolutely blown away. The quality, variety, and emotional impact of these photos exceeded all our expectations. We've received countless compliments on them from family and friends. If you're looking for a senior photographer who goes above and beyond to create beautiful, meaningful images that you'll treasure forever, Doru is absolutely the person to call. We're already planning to book him for our younger child's senior photos!

Brianne was our wedding photographer last month and I can't tell you how thrilled I am with her…read morework. I originally met Brianne when she was shooting a friend's wedding in 2011 and was really impressed with her personality and style. The photos were amazing as well. Once we got engaged, I knew we had to at least meet with Brianne. My mom is a photographer as well and getting a great photographer was very important to her. From the very beginning we were all impressed with Brianne's professionalism, easy-going attitude, and sense of humor as well as her pictures. We booked her immediately and could not be happier. The day of, Brianne felt more like a friend than our photographer, making it so easy to take picture after picture after picture with her. I also felt like she really prepared me ahead of time as to what to expect and consider for our photography. She got us the proofs at basically lightning speed and they are wonderful. There are so many great shots, posed and candid, to choose from. If my mom weren't a photographer, I would definitely have Brianne photograph every life event I possibly could!

I've lost track of how many times we've shared our photos and heard back 'these are the best wedding pictures we've ever seen taken'. All we had to do was browse some of their work and we were certain they were best to capture our special day. (Seriously, first vendor we booked!) They capture true emotions of the day, raw details, seemingly innocuous 'nothing' moments made spectacular by this team's expertise of knowing exactly when to snap that pic!

From the moment we saw Carol's work, we instantly knew we could trust her with capturing our day. Carol has her Masters in Wedding Photography through PPA but also does headshots, family sessions, and more! We loved having a mini engagement session to get to know her better, share our preferred posing styles, and see how beautifully she captured our small moments. Additionally, she met with us before our big day to understand what was most important for her to capture and how our wedding day was scheduled out. When the big day came, Carol went above and beyond to photograph every big and small moment. She adjusted us as needed but also let us organically react in each moment. She turned her edits over quickly and we didn't have one bad photo in the bunch! Carol far exceeded our expectations and I could not recommend her more for any of your photography needs! She has many accolades for a reason and it shows time and time again in her work.
