Thanks Kristen can't wait for our next session!!

I HIGHLY recommend Sean for your photography needs!! I can't rave about him enough. He took the…read moremost phenomenal engagement photos for my fiancé and I. They were everything I could have ever dreamed of. Sean suggested the perfect location for us. Pretty much read our minds as to what we wanted! He made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot (which he generously gave 2 hours of his time for - and even drove an hour to our shooting location!) We ended up with 187 beautiful final edited photos and he even offered to make alterations to them if requested. His prices are so reasonable considering his incredible talent and quality of work! From start to finish, Sean was amazing to work with. Don't hesitate to book your shoot with him. You won't regret it and will have photos you will cherish forever!

Sean photographed our wedding yesterday and was incredible. He was professional, talented,…read moreencouraging and punctual. He made us feel comfortable getting our pictures taken all day long and made sure to get memorable photos (like when a bouquet accidentally got thrown into the chandelier lol). He was energetic throughout the entire wedding and a pleasure to have around on our special day. Sean estimated a quick turn-around time on getting us our pictures and while I'm excited to see them, I have no doubt that they will be stunning. 10/10 would recommend and look forward to using Sean Russell Photography again.

We hired Ashley for our engagement photos and she was GREAT. I was worried we were not going to get…read morethose cute affectionate engagement photos because we can both be very awkward and not were not the biggest "photo people". Ashley told us exactly what to do and gave us so much direction all while being very personable and funny. We felt very comfortable and we were laughing the whole time.

Overall, great experience for something we were (honestly) not totally looking forward to. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Do not hesitate to secure Holly and Jim for your event!…read more Great, quick communication before, during, and after our wedding. Totally put our minds at ease. Handled the suboptimal conditions (mud everywhere, glaring sun, high winds that knocked things down) at the venue with ease and grace. Didn't even know they were there unless they were talking directly to us (stealthy!). Captured so many gorgeous photos and fun candids. They took our preferences into account- we got the types of photos that were important to us (and more!) and they were in the style we hoped for- natural, did not look heavily edited (and if they were you'd never know it!). Video clips and 1 min video montage were WONDERFUL. Many guests have commented how nicely they captured the essence of our day. Having both of them there was perfect - not only were they able to catch both sides of the wedding party getting ready in separate locations, but also the different angles of the same moments. We will enlist their services again for other events. They were fun and friendly and helpful, and we cannot say enough about Out of the Ordinary Photography!

I found out about iSmile about 9 years ago when I was approached by an employee offering a free…read more8x10 (I had a baby in tow) while I was shopping in Colonie Center. I of course took up this offer and my daughter's first "professional" photos were taken. Things were different back then than they are now such as pricing and different pic sizes available in certain packages. From what I remember, the staff were nice and I have really good photos of my daughter as we went back several times. Fast forward to current. I now have a new baby and signed up for the iGrow package ($50 gets you pics taken every month, a free 8x10 or smaller, and a collage of pics for the one year mark). I try to get different photographers each time I go so I can see different styles and see who I like/vibe with. There have been a couple of people who I didn't care for and make it a point not to book with them again. While waiting it can be a bit noisy, but that was based on different photographers making different noises to get the attention of children. This I am not a fan of. I can see where it can become annoying and frustrating, especially if your child isn't reacting to it. I continue to get my child's pic taken monthly and have loved the pics received thus far. I can't wait to get the end collage to hang in my home. I wish they would do the advertising as they did back in the day by offering a free photo to try them out. I'm sure they aren't hurting for business, but it would boost their numbers.

My son's school changed to this studio for school pictures this year and I'm disappointed…read more (I'm not going to share photos because I don't want to put my son's face on yelp) I did like that they had options to choose from, but 2 out of the 7 taken and being offered for purchase were just bad photos. One of them he was moving, the other he was opening his eyes too wide and looked ridiculous. It would've been better to not include those for purchase. The lighting was too bright in the photos and none of them looked like traditional school photos. They all had him facing head on and some of them look like passport photos. I would've like better lighting, posed at an angle... I literally took one of the photos and edited myself to look like a traditional school photo. All from my iPhone. And it looks significantly better than what they're trying to sell to us. On top of that they are very expensive and to change the background it's an extra 5 dollars, and they don't have as many options as Adirondack School Portraits does, and for free! They have a retake day that we will do and I'm hoping they come out better because in my opinion they are just mediocre for a photography studio.

Her studio is really neat! She has a love of nature and makes most if not all of her backgrounds by hand. Pretty cool! I had always wanted to get an extended family picture and thought why not try Lillian and Grace. I asked Rachael if she would come to my house and take a large group family picture as well as small group pictures. She gladly accepted and was genuinely excited to take pictures outside of the studio. Rachael was super easy to work with. She responds promptly to any questions or ideas and is definitely not pushy. She made adults feel comfortable posing and made the kids laugh to get a natural smile! Very soon after taking our photos, she sent me the proofs. I was thrilled with the pictures. Even my husband who doesn't like his picture taken loved the photos. Everyone felt great and loved the way they looked in our pics. The toughest part was trying to decide which prints to buy!! I bought a few right away and bought more shortly after. I will definitely use Lillian and Grace for photos again and highly recommend you do as well!
