Meredith and Mark are absolutely a gem! From the very beginning when my husband and I interviewed…read morethem, we knew right away that they were the team we wanted to capture our day. They are two genuine people who you can tell through their words and actions that care about capturing their customer's vision. Communication is flawless throughout from preparing for the day to the last photo taken on the day of. They are great interacting with all family and friends and creating a timeline that works while making the day feel fun, effortless, and not stressful. My morning hair/makeup team got behind and not once did I feel pressured or worried- Meredith adjusted our timeline without missing any shots we wanted. Our family and friends complimented to us after the wedding how much they loved our photographers because they were 'energetic' and could tell that they loved what they do because they were laughing with people, enjoying the event as if it was their own wedding, and just so kind. We received a sneak peak within 2 days of our wedding, received a FLAWLESS GORGEOUS album back within 60days, and we are obsessed with the pictures. This by far was the best vendor decision we made out of our entire wedding! 10 out of 10!! My husband and I plan to have Meredith and Mark help capture more future milestones in our life.

She highlighted the right things and captured creative looks that are absolutely perfect for my business. I highly recommend Nancy. You won't be disappointed!

Keith French Photography - absolutely professional and dedicated. Everything we have done with him…read morehave had excellent results. He talks with you about your needs, situation, equipment, etc and gives you his honest opinion about what your next steps should be. We have had prints made, corporate portraits taken, camera equipment repaired, passport photos taken, etc. I just brought in a nonworking 35mm camera (probably 15 years old) - with partially exposed film in it. He was able to work with it and pull prints off after it sat for over 6 years in that state! My husband received an award which we needed photographed for our web site. This is a VERY difficult piece to photograph due to all the angles and design of the piece - plus we needed a background color that matched our website. The photographs turned out beautiful! The work he does is always so professional, and done with great care. You definitely know his passion for his work. His classes are a lot of fun and truly informational - I certainly did not need to know anything about cameras coming in! His knowledge is so expansive that even the most seasoned professionals will be able to discuss their situations and needs with him as well - many camera stores I have been in have not been able to talk to me in terms I could understand. Keith, a United States Marine veteran, has supported many military and veteran events with his time and talent. He is a big part of the community - geographically and militarily - something we look for in our business relationships. His patience, passion, and commitment to his profession are very evident. I highly recommend Keith French Photography for all of your photographic needs.

Anh-Toan has been such a great life coach and his insightful, interpersonal, and in-depth approach…read morehas helped me tremendously. We meet bi-monthly via Zoom and occasionally in-person as well. For context, I started these sessions with a clear goal to better understand where I wanted to focus my energy and career, though I couldn't figure it out by myself (not like it's an easy thing to do but still). I was impressed by Anh-Toan's ability to empathetically understand my situation and pinpoint the important things to focus on. I gained a much better understanding of my values and practical advice to apply them in everyday life. His positive energy is contagious and I come out of every session with a strong sense of purposeful direction. For those considering life coaching in-general: I think it's a really valuable investment when you're trying to set a direction or gain better self-understanding. It can also be valuable in figuring out how to apply knowledge to take something good and make it better. If you're on the fence I'd say schedule a chat and see if it's a good fit - Anh-Toan's an honest guy and will give his honest opinion. Highly recommend him as a coach!
