With Bella behind the camera, I was able to relax and be in the moment with my guests, and she really knoinccked it out of the park with the gallery she delivered. I could not possibly have asked for better photos -- they will help our family remember this day for generations in a beautiful, emotive way. Since we booked one of her "wedding" packages, there was also an "engagement" session included -- it was a great way to celebrate our family in a more casual way, and for my son to get comfortable in front of Bella's camera (he's at a stage where he HATES having his photo taken, but Bella made him very comfortable). Bella is amazing, and we will definitely be booking again.

We hired Bella for our civil ceremony at Boston City Hall. Easily one of the best decisions ever…read more The pictures are spectacular and she is a joy to work with. She is very familiar with Boston City Hall and the surrounding areas; our pictures are perfectly composed. She also puts everyone at ease when photographing. During the ceremony itself she got great pics but was also not intrusive to the moment in any way. Would hire her again next time I need a photographer.

Mel and co were amazing from start to finish - organized, reliable, and professional. I felt so…read morecomfortable during my shoot and Mel gave me fabulous direction. The hair and makeup was also beautiful and exactly what I asked for. The pictures are perfect and Mel took into account the tone and vision I described to her. I would recommend this experience (with Mel, obviously!) to any woman who is even slightly interested - you will NOT be disappointed!!!!! I am so, so happy I did this and I will cherish these images forever.

I've never felt more confident and sexy.

i recently hired leah to update some professional headshots for me and am really pleased with the…read moreresults. i didn't really want to go with the standard grey/black background and leah was able to do the shoot outdoors despite all of the variables that adds. most importantly, she was personable, professional, and able to get me (who, like you, probably doesn't stand for formal photo sessions too often) to relax enough to look like an actual human being in the photos. i first reached out through leah's website and we went through a few rounds of emails prior to booking. leah was responsive and able to answer my questions. i booked a 1 1/2 hour session (a longer time than anyone else quoted me for a similar session) which was more than enough time to do multiple shots and a quick change of suit jackets and ties for multiple looks (which some other photographers indicated they would charge extra for). pricing was competitive; scheduling was easy; and (hopefully this does not apply to you by the time you read this, but ...) her pandemic safety protocols left me feeling very comfortable. all in all, an excellent experience and i would absolutely consider hiring her again!

We've used Isabel for all three of our children, and every experience has been truly amazing! And…read morehonestly she's become so much more than a photographer, she's like an old family friend. From our first newborn session almost 8 years ago to the most recent one, she has consistently provided us with beautiful, timeless photos. She takes the time to ensure every shot is perfect, all while making the session feel calm and enjoyable. The photos she captures will be treasured for the rest of our lives. we love how she manages to highlight the unique personality and tiny details of each of our kids so effortlessly and naturally. We've received so many compliments on her work, and we'll continue to trust her with our family's most precious moments. We looked forward to each session with Isabel like a visit from an old friend and we trust her completely to capture these fleeting moment of our kids's childhood. We can't recommend Isabel enough!

We have been working with Isabel since 2017 and we LOVE her! I consider myself so lucky that we've…read morehad her as our everything photographer (maternity, new born, first birthday, etc.). Not only that every single session turns out amazing, but she also has a magical personality with kids and makes the session feel so easy! My kids literally love her and feel so comfortable around her. My 5 year old said "Isabel is actually fun with pictures" after our last session! Also believe it or not, our latest family shoot was requested by my husband!!!! Also, as a procrastinator who never finds time to print photos or create memory albums, I truly appreciate how Isabel offers the gorgeous albums and beautiful frames. Every piece is carefully curated with so much love and thought. If you want someone sweet, fun, talented and amazing with kids, then look nowhere else. You'll never regret having Isabel as your photographer!

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!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. 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!

In the very beginning of March of 2020, I attended the AWP Conference in San Antonio Texas- and I…read morehad the amazing experience of being photographed by Adrianne Mathiowetz. It was my first big conference promoting my new book and all my photographs were pretty outdated, one of my colleagues said I needed to book an Author Portrait with Adrianne quickly, and showed me a soulful shot she had from Adrianne previously. WOW. She is so good ya'll. She is attentive and professional, and also very easy-going and made me feel super comfortable. In a very short time, she captured several candid shots. I was planning on purchasing "one" photo. I had to get five, because each one told a different story. She is skillful, kind, and delivers on-time!!! Most importantly, I had fun. ;) Book her and you won't be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of having Adrianne as my wedding photographer last year, after having hired her…read moreto snap corporate events at my firm. I can't say enough about her, both personally and professionally. Professionally, she's trained as a documentary photographer, so she's incredible at capturing those soulful, intimate in-between moments. Smiling group photos are nice and all, but Adrianne excels at catching those winks, shoulder-squeezes, and secret smiles, usually from from a funky vantage point, that are what make wedding and event photos so special. (That said, when there was a great group photo of everyone but my blinking mother-in-law, Adrianne swooped in and seamlessly photoshopped a non-blinking head from another photo, so everyone was a winner!) She also had our photos ready to review a mere TWO WEEKS after the wedding. Personally, she's super easy to work with, on top of her administrative game, fairly-priced, and a total delight. She's happy to take her cues and/or explicit marching orders, and she's also ready to give fun, creative, and quirky suggestions. Adrianne's a photographer with soul. It's an amazing thing to see the world through her eyes.

So much so, I started getting her perspective on things like timelines! Through it all she was a positive calming force. Leading us through a complicated photo schedule with ease and a lot of patience. We also had the pleasure of getting to meet one her photography partners. Equally fantastic! They were extremely effective with time, and the locations we wanted to take pictures at. Just the sweetest people, I honestly want to be her friend if I ever move back to Boston. =D At the end, I got amazingly beautiful pictures, and great memories that will last forever. Thanks Steph!

Are you looking for a funny, fabulous, feisty, and professional photographer to capture your…read moreperfect portrait? If so, I recommend Tara Jones to you with my highest confidence. If you're looking for hum-drum, definitely don't pick her. Tara did a portrait shoot with me and my wife which I needed for my professional profile. She picked the location, gave us some tips on what to wear, and put us at ease about the process before we even showed up. But Tara in person was even better. She made us laugh and relax and forget, in the best way, that we were having our photos taken. We had a great time, laughed a lot, and all the while she was capturing all sorts of hidden gems. And that's probably what sets Tara apart. Granted, I haven't ever had a professional portrait shot before, but what she captured from our time together was something I couldn't have anticipated. I feel like she captured my "best self" on the camera. I was thrilled with the results and I use the photos she took of me on all my most important profession online profiles. And I feel proud of it. I know that might sound a little weird. Since I rarely feel really great about photos of myself. But she really delivered the goods. And the best part was that I had many options to choose from. She gives you a whole gallery of photos from which you can choose the ones you like best. Then she does subtle touching up to bring it all to another level. I couldn't be happier with the end product. In fact, the whole process, which I imagined would be kind of awkward and painful, turned out to be fun and enjoyable. Personally, I think It's natural to be on the fence about something like a portrait. You're not sure if it's really worth the money, time, and effort. So maybe like you, I was on the fence with it for a while. But let me say now, if you are on the fence like I was, jump off. Tara will deliver the goods. Why, because every time I look online and see the picture of myself that she took, I feel great about it. I don't feel ambivalent at all. In my opinion, that's the kind of confidence and satisfaction that's worth the money. Because think about it, we all judge each other on first appearances. It's human nature. And now, I feel like whenever I make an important connection online, I've already put my best foot forward. In my opinion, that's priceless.

I hire Tara every year to take my Linkedin profile photo. Being in business, people are often…read moregetting their first impression of me through Linkedin before anything else. It's important for my online presence to be distinctive and unique, while maintaining a cool professional tone. Tara gets this right. I love Tara's work because she has this amazing balance of style and naturalness. So many posed portrait shots look cheesy and staged, like a high school yearbook photo. Tara's gift is to get you to be unselfconscious so the best of you comes out. And she does with a beautiful command of light and texture. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!
