I have had the pleasure of working with her on a few projects and she always exceeds my expectations. She has a very creative mind and eye for detail.

We recently used Valerie & Co. Photography our wedding in Tennessee and she was fantastic! We…read morecouldn't be more pleased with all the pictures she was able to get. Moments that I didn't even know were happening and sweet moments I'd already forgotten in the rush of the day she was able to capture perfectly! She caught every moment I wanted and moments I didn't even think to capture! I don't consider myself very photogenic because I'm a short, curvy lady (you know what I mean, ladies!), but Valerie blew my mind when it came to the volume of amazing pictures... she is definitely a pro who could work with my body type to pose it in the most flattering ways and she made me feel beautiful during the whole thing... I'm proud of every single one of them!!!!! I was crying from happiness that all of them were my favorites. She kept things fun, she was early and took extra "details" pictures before we were ready. You can tell she's proud of, and a perfectionist, when it comes to her profession. She truly enjoys what she does and it shines through into her photographs. I think that she barely even ate during the reception! And talk about making things look gorgeous... every single shot looked timeless and epic. Couldn't be more pleased... her rates were even better than most vendors we've heard from other people's weddings. I would highly recommend... I'm so glad we made photography the biggest part of our budget because now we have photographic memories that will last beyond our lifetime. I'll be sure to use her for any other important events in the future!

I was happy with my professional headshot session from beginning to end. I completed their online…read moreform and received an email response promptly. They asked about my availability and recommended a gray background unless I had something else in mind. I scheduled my appointment for a morning session at their studio, which has its own small parking lot. My session was 40 minutes, including time afterward to select the pose I wanted. I appreciated the dressing room to fix my makeup and hair before the session. They had some hairspray, tissues, and hand lotion in the room. My photographer, Trevor, was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave me great directions and helped me select the best pose. During COVID, he and other staff had masks on. The total cost was $150. I will receive a high-resolution image for printing and a low-resolution image for screens/internet by email. I can't wait! I've never had a professional headshot taken and I wish I'd done it sooner. I would not hesitate to consider this studio if you want a professional experience and product.

We just found out that our Corgi has lymphoma. Before he passes, we wanted to get some nice family…read morephotos to remember him by. We paid a family friend to take photos and I am truly sad that I actually paid for those. So I asked around for a professional photographer with a studio, as our youngest pup isn't fully vaccinated, and that was good with pets. Based off recommendations from friends, I emailed four photographers in the area and Tourine from Johnstone Studios was one of the first to respond in a timely manner. Due to the time constant, we didn't do the complimentary consultation, but just made an appointment for the photos on a Sunday afternoon of that week. She did ask what breeds of dogs they were, to make sure she'd have the correct background color ready. We showed up 15 minutes early and she met us at the door. Tourine was warm and welcoming to both us and the pups. Johnstone Studios is beautifully set up, both welcoming and professionally decorated.We went upstairs to a studio with hard wood floors and she went to work. She was extremely kind to the pups and knew how to keep their attention. Tourine had a great energy and the dogs fed off of that. I could tell that Tourine has experience with working with dogs, as she waved treats, talked to them, jumped around and used a train whistle to see what they responded to best. Our Crogi is a ham and loves to take pictures, but our new golden doodle has no concept of what's going on, so getting him to look in the right direction was taxing. After she was done, she checked with us to see if we had time to view the photos in their viewing room, or if we needed to go home for the dogs. They were both doing well, so we stayed to view our photos. Not only did she get a few beautiful pictures of our ailing Corgi, but pictures of the dogs together and one of the four of us. Everyone was looking, beautifully positioned and I will treasure these photos for years to come! Down stairs in their viewing room, we went through the photos on a big screen tv. We picked a package that gave us three of the photos we choose retouched and the digital rights for a very competitive price. My husband also ordered an Urban picture collage of our three pictures. Tourine was extremely low pressure when it came to selling additional add ons and even offered to leave the room so we could talk our choices over. Our digital prints came over retouched in three days and the photo collage we ordered should be here within a month or so. I am so happy with our family photos! Tourine did a great job and Johnstone Studios will be our new place for yearly family photos!
