My husband does photography as a hobby and is very particular about style and technique, so I thought he would have a hard time being in love with any photographer. However, as soon as we saw her natural, bright and unposed style, we knew that we had to have her capture our day. I think that the photos speak for themselves, but what you can't see is probably most important - amazing customer service. From the time that I inquired about her availability all the way to delivering pictures, Veronica was very responsive and thorough. I've always felt welcome to ask questions, re-arrange the timeline, add extra time and so on. We conversed and processed all paperwork/payments online which is 100% my preferred method of communications (hi, millenial here). On the wedding day, having Veronica and her assistant there really helped me relax and enjoy the wedding instead of fretting about the timeline. She worked so well with the other vendors and my friends and family loved her too :) When my bustle broke, she even teamed up with my coordinator to fix it quickly and get me back to the party. If you got this far into this review, please take this away - a great photographer that you can trust is always worth the investment, and that's what Veronica is.

I am really not a person who is interested in being photographed, so when it comes to portraits, I'm not usually expecting to like very many of them. However - there's not one photo that she delivered that I wouldn't want to show off; I seriously love them all. She really brings out the best in your personality, and knows how to add a little extra camera flair to make it all seem to natural and dreamy. I very highly recommend Veronica to anyone looking for gorgeous portraits or wedding photography.

We had a WONDERFUL experience with Abby for our fall photo shoot. It had been a few years since we…read morecaptured the family with pro pics, so we were due, and I'm so grateful Abby had room to fit us in. The result is outstanding - gorgeous and thoughtful composition with a natural feel. She created a fun environment and then captured the joyful energy. Two weeks after the shoot, she came to our place - with wine, hello! - to walk through the images and then plan next steps. She helped design holiday cards and then patiently guided me through several wall art purchases. The concierge feel to her business style and the incredible product make the investment worth it. I treasure the moments she captured and I love seeing them on my walls. Hire her!

I had a great experience with Lisa West. She is extremely talented in photography and editing. I…read moreasked her to take photos of my two kittens in the spring of 2018 and they came out perfectly! I would take pictures of my cats with my phone all the time, but I really wanted a professional to take some pictures and just capture the essence of how cute and meaningful they are to me. Unlike phone pictures, they have a great background, are not blurry, and the pictures capture the entire kittens' bodies. Lisa was so gentle and approachable with the kittens and they took to liking her and playing with her right away. It's so hard to have kittens sit still, but Lisa was able to use a brilliant combination of toys and distractions to get the perfect shots. Lisa also spent a very meaningful and extended time with me to make sure the pictures were perfect during and after the photo-shoot date. Best of all, my kittens grew up so quickly, so I love looking back on those old pictures when they were little

Lisa was beyond pleasant to work with. Her personality was also very charming which helped a lot along the way, because we were both amateurs at posing. She brought her assistant for our photoshoot, Paul, who was also as charming. I received my engagement photos in the USB last week and as expected, the pictures were amazing. Our families love them too. It's totally worth it to spend a little bit extra money to get all the photos, especially when the work was excellent and the pictures turn out very beautiful. If our wedding was in town, Lisa West would definitely be our wedding photographer. I highly recommend Lisa for anyone who is looking for a photographer that is personable, professional and "super on-time" with her work. I have heard other photographers that promised you one day, but you wouldn't get your photos until weeks/months later, so be careful with your choice because of course, everyone is excited to see their beautiful photos. Thank you Lisa and Paul for all the hard work.

Certainly not cheap, but this is a case where you get what you pay for, but in a good way. Anyone can snap some nice shots with an expensive Nikon, but it takes a special level of talent and vision to produce the quality Leeann provides. She is able to carefully craft each scene and adjust the focus and lighting in ways no amateur could ever manage. She was also good about arranging people and working efficiently without taking up too much time. My sister said it best when my wife and I showed her the album: "These are like everyone's absolute dream wedding photos!"

Highly recommended for studio work of any kind. His shots are well-composed and perfectly lit from every angle. His retouching is like expertly applied makeup - a ton of work and worlds of improvement and you hardly know it's there. Practical stuff was all great. Turnaround time from the shoot was brief, just a couple of business days, faster than promised. No need to send them back for round two or any reworks, he nailed it on the first go. The studio itself was exactly what you want in a working studio floor - comfortable, packed to the gills with all the gear you might need, and messy like the space of a creative person. The space put me at ease and made getting the shots we needed that much more efficient. Communication throughout the whole thing was perfect and quick. For simple portraits and headshots in one wardrobe I was in and out in an easy half hour after starting right on time. In the end I paid for two shots and he sent me multiple cuts of five shots. For what I paid and the quality of work, I got a great bargain. I expect to use these shots for years to come.

Some might call this a little over-eager, but I know that I had to book her as soon as I saw some of her senior sessions when my kid was a junior! They were fresh, whimsical and deep. Taryn's guidance from what type of clothing to wear to locations for the shoot, made for a very professional experience. She was prepared, informed and knew exactly where and what she wanted to shoot. I simply followed behind to watch her do her thing. Initially, I was nervous that my son would not be able to relax and that it would be awkward, but Taryn killed it on that front. She had a very relaxed, casual style of conversing while taking photos that put my son at ease. Her knowledge of the local area, how the light hits at precise moments with the setting sun and her general awareness of what she wanted to capture in two hours, was impressive. I truly loved the photos and am ecstatic with how they turned out.
