After thoroughly looking for photographers for over a month, we're glad that we discovered Melissa…read more She was extremely responsive and made herself quickly available to connect via video chat to discuss our options. We were hoping to get photos done before our son's 1st birthday and she was able to provide us with a great date/time option. We really lucked out. On the day of our shoot we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The drive to the studio was beautiful and worth it - we drove from over 30 minutes away. The studio was immaculate and ready to go for our time together. Her prep email was extremely detail oriented and let us know exactly what to expect. Once there we could easily see the setups and there was a perfect place for us to finish getting ready. Even though we brought most of our outfits she also offered an additional one for us to use and it photographed so lovely. Lastly, the cake smash session was literally the icing on the cake. She has a wonderful referral that made the most beautiful cake for us. Our custom banner was EXACTLY what we were looking for in terms of colors and vibe. She got our son to warm up, have fun, and capture his personality. Melissa's patience, professionalism, strong communication via email/text, and warmth was much appreciated as first time parents for our first shoot. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

We couldn't be more thankful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for maternity photos!

Look no further than Anaise Prince! Her positive, calm energy brings you down to earth so you can…read moresoak in the moments of your important day. Our wedding planner, Diana Chouinard of Jubilee Events, highly recommended Anaise. After our casual, informational phone call, we chose Anaise to capture our wedding day and an engagement session. My husband and I don't have the same skin tone; he is Filipino, and I'm white. We wanted to ensure that our photographer had the experience needed to balance light and ensure colors appeared life-like in all of our photos, as an interracial couple. Anaise's portfolio not only included diverse people but celebrated them. We first met in-person at our engagement session, and Anaise immediately helped us feel more natural in front of the camera. Anaise and Robyn managed to capture memories. When we look at our photos today, we smile with so much emotion. You can feel the tears, the laughter, the music, and the warmth in every photo. Beyond her undeniable talent, Anaise brings empathy, serenity, and patience to her work.

This business was an incredible find for me. I was looking around for somewhere to have a large…read morephoto print made that I was planning to enter into the West Hartford Annual Juried art show called CT +6. A photographic supply company in East Hartford recommended i contact Photosynthesis in Manchester. After looking at their website I realized this was a very professional operation. I called them up and the owner Chris was extremely helpful. I needed to have an 11 by 13 print developed and a properly fitting mat cut for it. This is a non-standard size but Chris said he could do it over night and when I went to pick it up the results where beyond my expectations. The print was very sharp and rich in color and the mat was cut perfectly for it. He let me assemble the frame there and even kept the shop open an hour and a half after the normal closing time so I could finish up. Chris also answered many questions I had due to the fact that I am not extremely experienced in digital photography. We made some adjustments to my photo on his computer using photoshop too. His studio is very large and located in the silk city part of Manchester. The photographic equipment there looked to be very modern and large. They accommodate both the newer digital photography as well as the older dark room type of photography and there is a very generous amount of work space, very large tables and every sort of tool you might require. While I was there another artist was working on a project where his finished print was about 4 feet by 5 feet. And I think it was even printed on some type of cloth. My impression is that this studio can accommodate almost any photographic project you could dream up. I also saw a person picking up standard photos that had been processed there so i think this might also be a great place to print your precious personal photos as well. All in all my experience with Photosynthesis was perfect and the owner Chris went well out of his way to help my project be the best it could possibly be.

I didn't want makeup and hair done as I don't wear makeup in real life, so why do it for the shoot? I was so excited when Tina didn't push me to make my shoot fancy. I was worried about getting the poses right, but she is great at directing you- even if you've never done something like this before. You can collaborate on a private Pinterest board so your inspiration and ideas are in one spot. She has lots of great tips to lead you in preparing for your shoot. Best of all, she is an amazing human and makes you feel comfortable from the start. If money were no object, I'd book another session with her immediately as it was so much fun and I have even more ideas for photos! I forgot to mention that she will do photos at her studio or at your home or on location somewhere. Her studio is really nice and when you break for lunch, it has amazing food options right around the corner including the new Parkville Market and Tangiers. So stop thinking about whether to book a session and contact Tina today!

Obviously her skills are unmatched and her work is gorgeous, but I can't begin to describe how much effort, time, attention, and love she puts into each of her clients. The fact that you get an entire day devoted to your session, so much prep ahead of time, and get to choose your favorite photos before leaving, and know exactly what to expect as the end result, the entire process is designed to make you feel your power. Tina helped me see myself in a way I never have before and became a key moment in my self love journey. I did this session partly for myself and partly as an anniversary gift for my husband. To say he was speechless and declared he doesn't know how to top this gift says it all. Thank you for the thousandth time, Tina!!! xoxo

She is gentle, nurturing and just a pro at getting them in poses together and alone. Her studio is awesome- I loved the layout, the cozy couch and all the different photos she had displayed for inspiration and idea suggestions. She even is so thoughtful and has snacks and beverages available just in case we were hungry or thirsty. Of course we were! Lol We look forward to going back to her for family photos and milestone photos of our girls growing up.
