**SCAMMER ALERT**…read more Until last few weeks she was in hospital sick confirming she will give my money back for the service she couldn't provide because of her sickness and now all of a sudden she says that goes towards a retainer fee. Everything was a lie from the beginning and I fell for it! I paid her upfront without even confirming dates because I was so excited as this was my first time working with a professional photographer. The conversation on when and how the photo session was going to take place was never clear but I still chose to trust. In my case, photographer constantly stated she was sick and couldn't do the session on original set date. She even texted around 2:00am on the week of photo session to notify how sick she was and it is better to reschedule. So in order to avoid risk to a newborn, i had to say we will do next time and waited for this woman to recover and set different dates. However, I never got updated date and time or any other information. Then I asked for a refund, which she ignored at first but later after warning on fraud claim, she stated refund will be issued once she got better with sickness. Refund was never issued and upon several texts and weeks of trying to follow up and get refunded, she today responded saying money went towards retainer fee! My money is being taken as a retainer fee for photographer's personal reasons and now benefit as such fees in my case is not applicable at all. What can I say as i never thought i will get scammed like this. My hard earned money was robbed! All I can do is leave this review and hope that nobody else will be scammed like me. Save your precious moments and money for someone trustworthy even if you've to pay little extra. Please don't trust the prior positive reviews. They might be true back then but not current. AVOID!

Her magic is in her kind, warm, bubbly personality...it makes you feel like you can truly be yourself, which can be tricky when someone is staring at you with a camera. Carrie truly loves what she does when she's behind the camera, so it makes the time you spend with her fun. Her energy and warmth are infectious! Carrie captured the most precious moments for my husband and I for our engagement photos, she also took our wedding photos at the Seattle courthouse last spring which turned out beautifully, and this fall she will be taking our wedding reception photos in my home town, and I can't wait. My husband and I have done the whole engagement-wedding thing in a very non-traditional way, so hiring Carrie was the perfect choice because she won't give you cookie cutter pictures. Carrie is imaginative, playful, and spirited...her images reflect her creative flair. Our pictures were romantic yet very personal, she captured the best moments! I think it's safe to say, we love Carrie! And all of our most special moments have a theme that is unique to Carrie's eye.

Carrie is personable, amazingly talented and will for sure capture real, meaningful moments that…read moreyou will treasure for a long time to come. She is bar none the best photographer we've worked with! We've now had several sessions with her, and I can't truly express in words how much we appreciate the work she's done in capturing these events/moments for us. For example, we booked a newborn session with her, however after giving birth to my son and having a difficult postpartum experience, I was not exactly in a place where I felt awesome about myself, and definitely did not feel up to being in front of a camera! I really only wanted pictures of our newborn son and some with my husband and son. She gently convinced me otherwise, and I have to say I'm so SO happy she did. I was amazed that although I didn't feel particularly stunning or camera ready, she captured beautifully simple and authentic interactions between a mother and her newborn son. It didn't matter how I looked/felt, the pictures turned out beautifully and those happen to be my most treasured of us. She is a mother of two herself, so she was so very patient with working with our little one! She takes pride in her work, and it shows in the final product. You will be elated!

She also allowed our session to go longer than we booked so that I could breastfeed when the baby needed breaks. Also she edited every single photo for those little baby acne bumps or cradle cap.

She immediately made us feel comfortable, was flexible with our schedules and was willing to go the extra mile every step of the way. We were able to have both an indoor and outdoor portion and she was even able to recomm nend a makeup artist. As far as the work, her portfolio speaks for itself. She has a true eye for capturing joy and frames her shots in a way to really immerse you in the experience- a strong mixture of tight close ups itermixed with grander full frame shots. She also just made the experience extraordinarily fun and memorable which after all isn't what we're all really looking for? I recommend her whole heartedly and hope you enjoy your experience as well!

Evan and his helper were really nice and patient when it came to helping my hair get in the place I wanted it. He was able to show me a live picture in order to get feedback and readjust. I wish we had more options for lighter backgrounds but I'm unsure if this was out of Evan's hands because it was a student bundle deal. When I got the picture back, I was delighted that Evan fixed my highlights in order to get my hair one color. However, I wanted some changes to the photoshop he did. I emailed him in the morning and he replied within an hour with the changes I requested already made! Overall, a great experience.

She allowed plenty of time for us to have a comfortable session in and around our home with an outfit change for all of us. We really appreciated her input on our outfits prior to the shoot, too.

I'd highly recommend Walking Dot for any of your family photography! Thank you Giedre!!

She takes the time help you choose the perfect location if needed and then the magic starts. She coaches you as she shoots to get the absolute best image. My husband and I did a fun, just-because-its-monday-and-were-off-work shot with her downtown Chicago. At first I had to drag him out because dressing up and taking public pics is not his idea of fun. But as we went along he became more and more comfortable. Her prices are reasonable, she's lovely, her work is artistic... is there anything not to love? We will definitely be using her for our 5 year anniversary party next May!

It was an investment,…read moreyes, but it was easily one of the most important parts of my wedding plan, and I know I chose wisely. He brought two assistants along and captured the posed photos and spontaneous moments over the course of the day. His reception photography was particularly impressive--he photographed us in low lighting, so he used external flash to avoid blurry photos, but the end results looked as crisp and clear and not overblown as those from earlier in the day. The man clearly knows his stuff and handled capturing our special moments in all sorts of lighting. Plus, I got high-res copies of my images so I could share and print accordingly.

Bless Brian for the time and patience he showed my family and me when selecting our photographer!…read moreObviously photography is something you want spend time selecting, because those are the memories that will last forever. Brian answered our questions thoroughly and patiently, smiling every second. He was so approachable and easy to talk to. He was also incredibly funny, which took the awkwardness away when it came time for taking the engagement photos. He has an open door policy, and always made himself available to respond to emails, phone calls, and in person visits. We didn't have to lay out a detailed list of the shots we wanted - he just understands what you need and does it. He anticipates what you want. Our photos weren't those cheesy staged pictures that you often see. They were candid shots of us having the time of our lives. They were amazing! The lighting was incredible as well. Most of our reception was in really dark light, but the photos turned out so crisp and clear. Even with the glow sticks that we pulled out later in the evening. He is truly talented! We received our photos just four short weeks after the wedding. In the meantime, he sent us "sneak peaks" to get us excited about what was to come. I'd highly recommend Brian. You won't be disappointed!
