With each shoot, she continues to wow me with her ability to capture amazing in-the-moment authentic pictures of me and my family. She is extremely approachable and easy to work with and takes out the stress of prepping for a shoot -- especially helpful with a newborn! The clean and simple editing style she uses makes for beautiful prints as well, I have her work from over the years hanging all over my home! I highly recommend Carrie for capturing those special moments for your family, and I look forward to continuing to use her for years to come!

That's a big deal when it comes to photoshoots with Children. Instead of her getting frustrated or annoyed, she actually captured our two Children interacting and being themselves. My Husband even left the shoot and was like, that was a really good time. What Husband says that after a Family Photoshoot, none! She let us be us and in the end with her experience and talent every shot was perfection. Next time we visit Westerly, we are planning another shoot, so Danielle get ready! Do not hesitate to book your next captured memories with BellaFoto Studios because you will be amazed!

From the second we met up with Mercedes, she was so sweet and accommodating. She was incredibly easy to work with, and my kids (ages 2 and 3) loved her. After the shoot, she sent us the proofs electronically, and we were thrilled. Mercedes was more than willing to make any adjustments (i.e. cropping, brightness) that we asked for, and the pictures came out absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be working with Mercedes again!

I could go on for days about how stunning the actual photos are, but beyond that she was just plain fun to have with us throughout the day. She directed everyone really well and kept us on schedule, but in a way that always felt lighthearted and calm. Not to mention my husband and I felt like top models all day by how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. And her team were all so professional and friendly too. She is worth every penny and more.

I am in the process of booking a session with her now, and she is great at following up and getting back to me quickly. I have a unique situation that involves a family shoot with 3 ladies in their 90s, and she's been really great at finding a way to accommodate us and come up with a fun theme for the shoot! I can't wait to get it all locked down! She generally will do session days at a park or another location around the shoreline to make it extremely affordable for all her clients, but does have rates if you need her for longer periods of time as well. And I've heard she is looking to venture out throughout the state for different locations if there is enough interest. Loving the pictures of a recent shoot she did of a guy proposing to his girlfriend...they are just incredible...and what an awesome idea to capture it all in pictures! I will update soon!

I would absolutely get other henna done and will have to better plan for my next pregnancy so I can actually enjoy it pregnant.

Good pictures start from being at ease and Carrie will definitely put you at ease. Even from the first consultation, she makes you feel like you are the only client and the only one that matters. Her pictures are amazing and every now and then she'll say "Let me try something" - those will be the best pictures. One thing I was not expecting was for her to help me draw up a timeline for the day. I didn't have a wedding planner and kind of cobbled it all together myself. Carrie, based on all her experience, advised me on getting hair and makeup done earlier (she was right), having the flowers delivered earlier (she was right again - especially since the delivery was running late), and leaving earlier to get to the church. As she said, no bride has ever complained about being too early. I wasn't too early at any stage and her timeline actually prevented me from being late and stressed out. The second photographer she came with (Dan) was just as great. After meeting him for the first time on the day of the wedding, I was instantly at ease with him in under 5 mins. I could go on and on but no one will read a super long review. Bottom line - book Carrie. You won't regret it!

Her prices are reasonable and packages include multiple shooters, an engagement shoot, and a wedding guest book made with photos from the engagement shoot. The turn-around to receive our photos was about 2 months. The quality of the photos is fantastic, and I love that she gave us both high quality images and lower-quality watermarked images to use on social media.

Having known Chris since High School and having worked with him as an assistant for a wedding he photographed, I knew who he was, I knew his style and I knew his equipment. I was comfortable knowing all of the above, so my now husband, Justin and I went to meet him to discuss options to have him as our photographer. Before walking into the meeting, I had practically made my mind up already that he was who we would book, but I wanted Justin to meet him and I wanted to get those "warm fuzzies" from our conversation. After the meeting, we were thrilled to choose Chris to photograph our big day! First came our engagement shoot; like I said, I am also a photographer, but my goal was to act as though I had never held a camera in my life. Chris and his wife April took the reigns and helped Justin and I with the entire shoot from start to finish. When we saw the final product, we were over the moon!! With the engagement pictures out of the way, we certainly looked forward to what our photos would look like from our BIG day! Prior to our wedding day, Chris took the time to get every detail straight regarding wants/needs to ensure our wedding day was seamless. He showed up with a list on our wedding day of everything that we had discussed! During our ceremony and reception, Chris and his assistant were all over the place but never came across as invasive. In fact, at times I forgot they were there taking pictures (even when they were right in front of my face!). What an amazing time we had! Our wedding day came and went, but Chris is the one who will forever help us to cherish our "perfect" day in the form of his artwork. Our photos are stunning and our friends and family can't say enough good things about them. I would certainly recommend Chris for anyone to use as their wedding photographer, he was and I'm sure always will be, phenomenal. Thanks Chris!

After meeting him in person, I was so certain on having him shoot for our wedding that I declined to meet with other photographers. What stood out to me about Chris was that he dispelled my preconception of wedding photographers as intrusive, and he took great pride and care in his craft that went beyond just working the camera. During the wedding he blended in perfectly and captured beautiful, candid moments of us and our guests. During the still shots, Chris was precise and detail-oriented and the results were fantastic. I was very proud to share his work with our family. Working with Chris was one of the easiest and most enjoyable aspects of our wedding experience and I highly recommend his thoughtful and talented approach to capturing forever memories.
