Erica was awesome. My wife and I went back to Virginia Beach to celebrate our 24th anniversary…read more Erica took some amazing photos of us near the light house on fort story where we were married. She captured our anniversary completely. Her style was just what we needed. She got all the photos back to us within 2 weeks, great torn around. Thank you Erica!

I was looking for a maternity photographer in Virginia - and I found Rare Rose Imagery on yelp!…read more I went on Erica's website & inquired. She emailed right away and we were able to talk through email, texting and a quick phone call. What I loved about Erica was her fast communication through email/texting. At the time that I found Erica I was in California and I had my (now fiancé) speak to Erica a few times because of our time difference. Erica and Tony kept in touch with planning our session which made it super easy for me to just focus on outfits. Lol! I let her know I was looking for maternity & outdoor photoshoot. She exceeded my expectations. We confirmed date and time then she let me know the location few days closer to our photoshoot date. Erica certainly knows how to pose (Tony & I) since were not photogenic lol. We received our photos in a drop box pretty fast! She emailed me the link. Our pictures were edited as well. Edited to perfection. Overall - Erica is such an amazing photographer! Super friendly, super fun & social! My maternity shoot turned into an engagement shoot towards the end of our session. Erica has captured memories forever. I will continue to use Erica far as I am in Virginia but my fiancé and I highly recommend her!

How to even start... Summer is ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED FOR…read moreYOUR BABY'S PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! You couldn't find a better Newborn Photographer if you tried. Go ahead and try. That's right, you couldn't find one. It's cuz she's the BEST. EVERY. SINGLE. IMAGE is perfect. I've been amazed at how she is able to take totally crazy, newborn skin (bumpy, red, splotchy, acne, jaundice, you name it) and make it smooth and creamy- and it looks beautiful and natural. Soooo many photographers don't do this well. I see (too often) images of babies looking red/splotchy and uncomfortable, or the opposite happens and they look waaay over-photoshopped and plastic. Summer is an expert in every way. I look at a baby's face and take a photo with my iphone thinking "they are SO cute!!!!" then I see the photo and I think, "what happened???!!!" lol. She is able to bring out the beautiful serenity of the babies she photographs and also keeps the real and natural "feel" of it all. Her use of color and props is out of this world. You won't find a better planner, as she plans every detail. She makes every hair stay in place (sooo important to my OCD-ness) and is conscious of each little, tiny finger's placement of your baby. She'll take family photos if you beg her, and she makes the new Mommies look sooooo amazing and natural! It's seriously incredible. Here's the reason you are going to believe every word I say. I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER TOO!!! I would bring my own babies to her every. single. time. I trust her THAT MUCH. Do you know how picky a photographer is when choosing her own photographer??? Summer surpasses my expectations every time she photographs! So glad I found this woman!!!

Spectacular photos and awesome experience! I loved it all. Summer made sure the photos worked well…read morewith our decor and were exactly what we wanted according to our color/style preferences. She nailed it! Even more amazing than I could have imagined. She's so creative. Def also an expert w making your baby comfy and cozy in her professional studio. All the props, backgrounds and outfits were impressive. I got to sit back, sip coffee or tea, and enjoy watching while she worked her magic. (As a tired mommy it was kinda therapeutic to be in such a peaceful environment while another loving mom took care of my baby for a little while ) I would recommend Bella Rose to everyone--go for it, you'll be so glad you did!

She guided us through the whole process and has a very professional website and technology program for the whole process. During the photo shoot, she was awesome!!! Very knowledgeable of the location, posing, etc. She was so kind, laid-back, and personable! She made the whole experience fun and enjoyable despite it being a little chilly and windy. She captured the most beautiful pictures and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! She edited and gave us our final images way faster than we were expecting. We would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future!

She did my husband and I's gender reveal/maternity pictures and they turned out wonderful. Her pricing is up to her though so contact her through email if you're interested.

If I could give Sarah ten stars, I would! Choosing her as our wedding photographer was easily the…read morebest decision we made for our big day. From the initial inquiry to the final gallery delivery, the entire experience was flawless. Sarah is the definition of a professional. Her contract was straightforward and easy to understand, and she was incredibly responsive and easy to get a hold of throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day itself, she was prompt and even arrived early, which immediately put my mind at ease during the morning rush. I'll be the first to admit that I am not "good" at having my picture taken... I usually feel awkward and stiff in front of a camera and my self esteem isn't the highest. However, Sarah made me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. She has such a gift for direction and used unique, creative poses that felt natural rather than forced. My guests and wedding party haven't stopped talking about how much they absolutely loved her energy; she truly felt like a part of the family while still staying incredibly focused on her craft. I specifically asked for a focus on candids, and Sarah delivered beyond my wildest dreams. She captured the raw emotion and "in-between" moments perfectly, and every single edit was breathtakingly beautiful. Her pricing is amazing for the high level of talent she provides, and to top it all off, she delivered our full gallery ahead of schedule! I had actually hired Sarah previously for a friend's maternity shoot, and after seeing her work there and now at my wedding, I am a customer for life. We are already in talks about my own maternity photos this coming spring! If you want amazing value, exceptional photo quality, and a photographer who makes the day stress free, hire Sarah. I had tears looking through my gallery and I cannot believe how beautiful I look and how well she captured my day. Especially the moments I wasn't able to see for myself. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Sarah is one of the best photographers I have ever had! My husband and I moved here about 9 months…read moreago, and we don't really know anyone. After searching through Yelp trying to find a great photographer, Sarah popped up. My husband and I were eloping, and I really wanted someone to catch the intimate moment between the two of us. We have been together since high school, and this was so important to me. He also hates getting pictures done, so it was nerve racking. But, after months of us talking, me making so many changes, it was perfect. She showed up early, and stayed way longer than expected, and we held some great conversations to make my husband feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond for us, and I will be externally grateful. She is also very well priced for the service she provides with all of the time she outs in the photos. Will be booking with her as long as I'm on the east coast.

Best personality to get the best picture of you! Definitely recommend for your next event!read more

you are right! Yes,…read moreyou are right, I did love the pictures you showed me on the computer.. Almost every image was a perfect shot (that's 2 people 3 dogs and a horse, mind you;) I was excited to see the Christmas cards. After all, that was the only reason for doing the shoot! I don't see why 3 dogs and a horse are anymore complicated to photograph than a large family or babies, it was the easiest shoot ever... Even the second photographer I hired after you was amazed by how well behaved they were, we had a great time working together and got fabulous images, so no luck was needed from you;) Sorry you had 'difficulty?' capturing us. I think the only difficult one was you, barking orders at everyone, even your own 'assistant' (who you actually introduced to us as you husband) Yes, this is the same 'assistant' that 'hand delivered my cards' (actually he just dropped them off at my house on his way to work right down the street from me, which was very nice of HIM to do because you were to busy giving me the run around.) Yes, you are right, I liked the pictures that I was shown on the computer so much that I wanted to order prints. BUT, I wanted to see the Christmas cards BEFORE I committed to ordering any prints, so I could see the quality of the printing. It wasn't my fault the cards took longer than expected to be delivered and that the first set was awful quality and needed to be returned. Yes, I was upset by the quality of the first set of cards, so after voicing my opinion you agreed with me and begrudgingly reordered a second set. At this point I was STILL hesitant to purchase very expensive prints judging by the quality of your past work (very dark and grainy low quality cards) Also, you kept mentioning the services that I was interested in 'aren't offered' by your printing company, but yet for some reason you can still manage to get them done? That's strange. Yes, you are right, the second set were better than the first but still in no way 'perfect' as you claim I said. I can assure you they were not perfect. They were also a bit dark and blurry, but at that point I just wanted to be done with the Christmas cards and get them mailed out (mind you I didn't get them until the week before Christmas which was only one week away at this point) So not worth complaining about.Yes, I was upset with the misleading prices and mentioned it to you in an email (far from 'reaming you' as you claim I did haha) You agreed that they were misleading and apologized. Then the final straw:Yes, YOU DID decide to vent on your personal Facebook page (that I actually took a screenshot photo on my phone BEFORE you deleted it from your wall because I was so shocked a professional businesswoman would do something so childish ... would you like me to refresh your memory about what was said...?) So, to now to lie on here and say you didn't post it.. Wow. Yes, you are right, THAT is when I decided to cancel my order. No, I will not spend that much money on pictures that I am unsure how they will turn out once printed judging from your previous printing attempts. And especially not with someone so rude that makes comments about me... on Facebook of all places. Grow up. (Speaking of Facebook, I find it funny that right after I posted my honest review on here you felt the need to go to your Facebook, once again, this time bribing people with a free mini session if they write a positive review about you... Interesting.) Also, just to make it VERY clear, I referred a friend long BEFORE our shoot even took place, and immediately after our shoot I texted her that she may want to reconsider because I thought you were rude, but unfortunately it was to late for her to cancel since she had already paid a deposit. Her experience is a whole other story! So bottom line: Yes, you are right that I loved many of the images you showed me on the computer, but you are also right that I did not value the work that you showed me with the printed cards. I also did not value the way I felt I was treated. I was not about to shell out that amount of money for what I consider low quality printing (with seemingly very limited printing options) I would rather just take my money elsewhere and re-do the shoot, which I did. Thank you for my refund, and also for deleting all of the images. That was very professional of you. So in the end it all worked out for the best because we re-did the shoot finally got a beautifully printed family portrait for my husband before he deploys;) Five stars for that!
