I chose Chris to take our family (2 parents and 2 adult children) beach photos because I loved the…read morecontrast of light and dark in his photos, as well as his reasonable cost. The entire photo session took just under an hour, and the location was under the Oak Island pier to keep us out of the afternoon sun. The day was enjoyable and fast paced, and Chris let us suggest any poses we wanted! Only a few short days after the photo session, I was emailed a link to the pictures and a week later received the original files to download to my computer. While viewing the photos, there were some adjustments that could have been addressed during the actual photo session in regard to attention to detail (i.e. Squinty eyes, crazy hair, sunglasses on/off) that made me somewhat disappointed with the outcome of the photos. The day was enjoyable, and the less than stellar review is due to the minor mishaps in the photos that could have been addressed during the photo session.

My name is Sunja and I came across Mandy's work online looking for a maternity photographer in…read moreWilmington. Really liked the pictures and reached out. Initially she responded and we were supposed to speak over the phone but I never heard back so I followed up. She then did and we ended up speaking. I asked her to send me an invoice so we can lock in the date but she didn't for a while so I followed up again. She then did. Then the week of our scheduled photoshoot I saw the weather wouldn't be good on our shooting day and I texted her to hop on quick phone call to discuss further and potentially see how we can make it happen or pick a couple other shooting day options. Again no response for days who knows if I didn't reach out maybe longer. I reached out a third and final time to request a refund which I haven't received yet. I'm baffled by the fact that Mandy is running a business and lacking basic good communication, I've been repeatedly experiencing a lack of responsiveness in this short time of working together which has left wondering, kind of stressed and certainly taking all the joy out of it for me all while being in my last trimester of my pregnancy. She specializes in working with pregnant people and new moms, I just don't understand the lack of consideration and professionalism. Save yourself the headache and work with another photographer. I wish I did, now I'm running out of time hoping to find someone else to work with for a maternity shoot while still pregnant all last minute. Quite Upsettin!

Mandy was very nice and pleasant to work with. We love our family photos, she is very talented…read more However, her pricing is extremely costly and she charged an extra $25 per photo after an initial set of only 20 photos! Yikes! It felt like a very bad experience to see all your amazing photos and have them blocked, after a very costly upfront fee. Our family photo shoot ended up costing us $750.

If you're on the fence about hiring Erin as your photographer, this is your sign to leap OVER the…read morefence and call her up immediately and book her ASAP. She is PHENOMENAL. Clearly, she is beyond talented and her photographs are the REAL DEAL. I mean heck, just look at her portfolio on her website as well as her IG. Erin's photos for you - no matter what you hire her for and no matter how big the project - will be just as high quality as the shots you see on her website. Absolutely first class. Erin is also an excellent communicator and really works closely with you. She digs into things to figure out EXACTLY what you want and need. I've used Erin a few times for business pictures (nutrition and fitness) and she made me extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. I'm not exactly a natural when it comes to standing in front of the camera, but she was able to pull SO many amazing shots out of me! She also thinks really outside of the box. She's creative. She's NOT going to give you some generic photos that you see everyone else use or have. You're going to get something UNIQUE. I swear, at the end of your photoshoot, not only will you have some awesome photos and memories, but you'll probably want to take Erin out for coffee every single week just to hang out. It helps to work with someone who is engaging, friendly, and encouraging.

Pretty tough conditions out, but he stayed in tune the whole time and I was so stoked to see he captured the quick few seconds I FINALLY landed waves. Subtle atmospherics and timing seemed to be a specialty, waiting to accent the moment the pelicans flew over my head, the mist from the top of the waves as I'm diving under, or when the ray of sunlight is lined up to expose my position. Far exceeded expectations! Many professional photographers out there, but not all are artists. Travis is one of the latter.

She is never available at our times, canceled one appt 1 hour before scheduled time and last appt. on July 15th she never showed, when it was discovered on her website she had an event already booked at the same time! She actually tried to pass the blame to my daughter for her (Courtney's) lack of professionalism. We have decided due to months of trying to get our "award" honored that it is not worth it. After all, a gift certificate does not have any financial benefit, and we are uncomfortable with the idea of having our treasured photos taken by this "business"... I do not recommend this business, research for the one that best fills your needs and wants.

She never made us feel rushed and took the time to capture beautiful photos in several different spots along the beach. She was especially amazing with our grandson, somehow getting that perfect smile that we'll treasure for years. Throughout the entire process, her communication was excellent, making everything easy and stress-free. Family vacations create memories that last a lifetime, and these photos will help us relive this special week for years to come. If you're vacationing at Ocean Isle or Holden Beach, don't miss the opportunity to capture those moments with the people you love. Thank you, Shirley, for giving our family such a priceless gift!

I would 100% recommend Ocean Isle Beach Photography! Erica was the sweetest and so patient. The…read morephotos came out amazing and she allowed us to each get multiple photos in various poses. In total we were 6. Erica patiently spent time photographing our grandmother who cannot stand on the sand and sometimes has troubles listening (It was quite difficult to get her to pose!) She was well prepared with bobby pins to make sure any flyaway hairs were not an issue. Erica noticed that my hair kept blowing back so for the pics with my hubby she took me back near the sand dunes where I wouldn't get the ocean wind messing up my hair. The photos look incredible!!!! I am printing them out and keeping them forever. She even took a bonus group pic on my phone in the end. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality and expertise you get with it. Very easy to communicate with her and the links to the photos were received quickly. Overall, I can't wait until next time I'm down in Ocean Isle for my next photo shoot! Thank you, Erica!!!
