She took individual headshots for our staff members, along with group photos.

Being a mom herself, she knew exactly how to connect with our toddler (he even started calling her Aunt Jess) and handle our newborn.

Celeste was awesome! I wanted some graduation photos to commemorate my grad school graduation, even…read morethough the ceremony was canceled. Celeste went to both the Rotunda and my school with me and got all of the shots I wanted (and more!!). She was so good about coaching me through poses and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was so happy with how the pictures ended up. They're beautiful, light and airy--exactly what I wanted and an awesome way to wrap up my school career.

Celeste was amazing from top to bottom. I first contacted her about an engagement shoot, warning…read moreher that we wanted to be adventurous and had some fun locations in mind. She was totally down with that! So, of course, we did the same for the wedding itself! She braved ladders, broken down buildings, river crossings, and tunnels for us to get the perfect pictures. During the wedding itself, she and her assistant captured all the moments I requested and kept the portraits moving along. The photos turned out gorgeous and I couldn't be happier!

Aaron Watson did a family photo session for us last summer and did an amazing job, especially…read moreconsidering our sometime stubborn 18 month old and 4 year old dog wanted to explore more than pose for pictures. But that was the beauty of Aaron's work. He not only got our son to smile, but he took pictures that captured our son's curiosity and spirit. To be able to work with home like that and capture the mood was beyond perfect. We had a great time roaming a peach orchard and chomping down on strawberries with a beautiful mountain back drop. After our amazing session Aaron had us back to his home/studio to share the photographs. It was so touching viewing it a comfortable setting as he does. I would (and have!) recommend AW photography to anyone looking for family/children photography in a heart beat.

I've used photo…read morebooth services before but MoxBox really blew me away with how wonderful the quality of their service and photos turned out to be! Jeff was extremely responsive during our preliminary correspondence as well as friendly and professional. The day of the event he arrived on time, set up quickly, and knew how to handle a custom backdrop I had. He did a great job of working with me to find the perfect location to situate the photo booth which made it really easy to access for all my guests. He was also flexible with the ebb and flow of my guests and patiently worked with everyone from babies, to adults, and even a few pups that were attending the event! He was enthusiastic and really nice to all the people that used the photo booth. The photos themselves are probably some of the best quality photo booth photos I've ever seen. Seriously. You will look better than you ever have before thanks to the professional lighting and lens quality. It was also extremely convenient that all my event photos were directly uploaded to FB which made sharing via social media a breeze. It saved me a lot of time having Jeff send the photos to a place where all my friends could access their pictures simultaneously. All in all I would highly recommend MoxBox for your event. Whether it's a wedding, company party, nonprofit gathering, etc., Jeff and MoxBox really contribute such a warm, fun, environment, that even the most reluctant attendee will crack a smile (and snap a photo) to boot.

Super cute! I was a little underwhelmed when I first heard…read morethere would be a 'photo booth' at the party because they [to me at least] usually mean crowding people into a tiny box, and they never mean good photos. Imagine my pleasant surprise to find a giant [adorable] camera and a pre-set backdrop for people to take uncrowded and significantly more carefree photos. I wouldn't have minded the option for a third party to take the photos instead of doing it myself, but I suppose if I wanted a professional photographer to take my pictures, I could pay through the nose and get precisely that. This was exceedingly fun, though, and much more relaxed. I will probably never understand the paper cut-out prop situation, though.

Jim Carpenter is the photographer there, and he is so very nice and professional. I was a little worried that because both my brother and I are students (my brother is in undergrad, I'm a first-year medical student) we wouldn't be taken seriously, but he was friendly and helpful, and my family was pleased with the photos. I got the impression that he certainly knows what he's doing right off the bat. Jim also informed us that he "loves his medical students" and is hired every year for their graduation pictures as well as doing most of the professional head-shots for medical students as they're applying for residencies. I'm certainly looking forward to sitting in for my own portrait session when the time comes!

"Above and beyond" and "beyond my wildest dreams" is how I would describe Melissa Arlena and the…read morebrand photoshoot she did for me. I reached out to Melissa for new website photos. Melissa made time to meet with my website designer to hear her needs and also went above and beyond to find the PERFECT location for the shoot, especially during the winter and during a global pandemic. Melissa got to know me and the brand I was trying to create. She did her research and came prepared with a shot list. During the shoot, she made sure we checked the box on all of the shots I wanted, and there were a lot. I have a complex business with lots of services, and she nailed it. Melissa made me feel comfortable and at home. Getting photos taken can be very vulnerable; her patient and soothing guidance made me feel like I could be myself, and that showed up in the photos. The photos came out amazing. As a former performing artist, I have done many shoots and this is by far the best shots of me I have ever seen. I received the photos back within two weeks, as promised. Melissa took time to retouch everything and remove any "uglies," so the experience of viewing my photos was just as joyful as taking them. She has a great eye and chose her top favorites to help direct my choices. I can't recommend Melissa enough - I will surely never hire another photographer again.
