The 2 newborn sessions couldn't have gone more differently if they tried and both times, Ann was great and the photos turned out beautiful. I trust her wholeheartedly with my newborns as she swaddles them and puts them in various positions. The 1 year cake smash session was so fun and Ann made everything so easy. She accommodated my color requests and decorated beautifully. I'm looking forward to the next cake smash session and I'm hoping to get Christmas pictures sometime in the next couple of years, too. The sessions are expensive but generally on par with photographers in the area. I don't mind paying for quality, though, and Ann is truly wonderful.

But because of the holidays (even though I contacted them months in advance) couldn't take me in right away until after the new year and by then, they aren't a newborn. My friend referred me to Ann Lyle and I am SOOO GLAD SHE DID. Despite being so close to Christmas, I contacted her anyway just to see and once she told me she had availability, I took it! She has a quick response time and pictures may take up to two weeks. She was able to get it to us sooner. The experience was awesome. She has a new studio in Framingham. There is plenty of parking spaces. The suite is on the L floor. The studio is so pretty! There are so many lovely props and backgrounds and it is so comfortable to not have to worry about anything. Ann is super down to earth and very relatable. From my experience of having many professional photographers from my engagement to wedding to family and to another newborn, Ann is the best! Her photos are so amazing and she made my newborn look like a beautiful princess. You will not regret it! She also offers a mini session which was perfect for us because all we needed were a few great pictures for our wall.

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!

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 have hired Allison Manzella Photography three times and each session has resulted in more perfect…read moredog photos than I could have imagined. Allison is skilled at getting to the heart and spirit of her subjects in as little as 20-30 minutes with no drama. (And she is primarily a people photographer!) Her calm, steady manner and engaging presence works magic on Toliver, Embrey & Hartley. My most recent session produced the most breathtakingly beautiful shots of my twelve-year-old pup with a joyful gleam in her eyes and a bright smile on her face. Stunning! Exactly what my heart desired and once again, Allison came through. I treasure these pictures now and will forever. Sure, I take plenty of photos with my iPhone. But they don't compare to the quality that a professional photographer can offer, and one great picture is worth well over 1,000 average ones. And you will get lots of great ones! Priceless. I highly recommend Allison for your people and pet photo needs.

I've been going to Vanessa and having my hair styled by Carol for over a literal decade. I've grown…read moreup from high school, through college, work, and now in graduate school, and I still go to Carol because that is just how much I trust her with my hair! I have a lot of hair, and it is thick and dark and can be difficult to understand how to style in a flattering way. I've gotten many cuts, several Japanese hair straightening treatments, a prom styling, and a few different colors over the years, and I have never been disappointed. Carol is, in a word, incredible. She will work with you to figure out what works best for you, your hair, and your lifestyle. 1) Cuts. I've had bangs, short hair, and long, layered hair all done here. Carol always double checks with you to see what you would prefer at every stage. My job requires me to tie my hair back, for example, so we always make sure my hair is left long enough to be neatly pulled back. 2) Treatments. Carol actually recommended the hair straightening treatment to me back in high school as I was having trouble handling my thick, wavy and frizzy hair at the time. Though the treatment took hours, I was left with beautifully sleek, long lasting hair. That was back in 2013. I have gone approximately once a year since then to have the treatment done, and it is worth every penny. My hair has become much more manageable (especially in the summer!), and Carol has been able to adjust the strength of the treatment to match how my hair texture has changed over time. 3) Coloring. I've had 3 different balayages and 1 solid color done here. Carol and I always discuss beforehand what is possible for my hair. As I mentioned, my hair is naturally very dark, almost a true black, and was usually grown out in my natural color when I went in for a coloring appointment. When I want to color my hair, I show Carol a few pictures and we talk about which ones may be edited and which ones would require a lot of time to lighten, process, and tone. On Carol's suggestion, we usually go for balayage since I'm usually not able to go in for touchups and need a style that grows out well. More than anything, Carol is very honest about how long it will take to process your hair, and is absolutely willing to spend time to work with you to make sure you love the result. To top it all off, both Carol and Lisa are warm, welcoming, and talkative, and so it is a real treat when I get to go see them for a few hours! Leaving with fantastic hair is the cherry on top. Safe to say, I'll continue to go to Vanessa Bridal for as long as I can!

I have to say Carol(the hair stylist) and her boss are talkative but I strongly question about…read moretheir professional skills as a hair stylist. I came in this morning for my hair cut and to color my hair. I showed Carol an online picture of a girl's hair and told her that's the color I want. The color is showed as picture 1. After 4 hours later, I got a golden yellow instead( the picture 2). The boss said" it is so pretty!" I doubt about it. I said" it is too yellow and that's not what the color I showed her this morning" Carol said " I think this color does not fit your profession I will redo your color this afternoon" Then the boss ask for 250 dollars for the hair cut and color service. I gave 10 dollars for tips and the boss said it is too little. "Usually we got 20 dollars or 30 dollars for tips." Then I paid total $270 for the hair cut plus coloring service and tips. She told me the hair cut price is $38 dollars and $212 is for the hair coloring service. Then I came back in the afternoon, Carol redo my hair twice in the afternoon and gave me a yellowish green or greenish yellow hair. (Picture 3) It is not the color I showed her! I showed her the color I want this morning and also this afternoon before she did anything. I paid $270 for my hair and what I got is not even close to what I showed her. If you can not do it, let me know in front. She tried to persuade me to let her color my hair another time. I refused because I already gave her a second chance and she failed. I don't what her to touch my hair anymore. I asked for my money back but they refused. They said we don't give money back. You can call the police. I called police and the officer said I should sue them on a small claim court for my money back. I will do that and I felt shamed for them. Poor service, greedy and bad attitude.
