Loretta is the best! We had her take photos of our little family for our sons first birthday…read more Good communication from start to finish. We agreed to meet at Bushnell Carousel in the park. She got a ton of amazing shots both inside the carousel and outside in the park. Got our son to smile for almost every photo. We will be using Loretta again!

I've been so lucky to have Amber take our family pictures. Not only did I receive the best shots…read morefor our Christmas Card but I finally have a beatiful portrait to hang in our home. Amber is great with kids. Any mom would agree it's a challenge to get little kids to all look into the camera at the same time, it takes a true professional to get that natural smile on a shot. I couldn't be more happy with the final product. Amber was patient with us all through the shoot, making the appointment was a breeze. I highly recommend her for your next family photoshoot.

Amber is an amazing photographer and took absolutely stunning photos of our twin baby girls…read more I selected One Big Happy Photo because being as picky as I am, I wanted the best and nothing short of beautiful photos to cherish forever. On top of that, Amber makes the process so easy. She is so down to earth and professional. She will guide you through each step to make sure you have a wonderful session and are 110% happy during and after you get your photos. She was fantastic with our girls! 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.

I can't recommend La Femme enough! Tina is a phenomenal photographer! I had always wanted to do a…read morenude photo shoot, but not the fancy boudoir styles you usually see. 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!

To say I had a transformative experience with Tina would be an understatement. I've been wanting to…read moredo a boudoir session for years and always knew the photographer for me was Tina. 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

Love my sneak peek from my Amika Gair newborn photoshoot. Can't wait to see the rest of them!!…read moreAmika and her assistant were super warm and personable, very easy to work with, and were so sweet with my baby. He wasn't totally cooperating and they never made us feel rushed, they simply offered some suggestions and patiently waited him out.

I cannot recommend her more highly!

I'm not what you would call a "girlie girl," so the idea of picking out outfits and posing for photos was completely new and a bit scary for me. We started with a phone call and Michael did a great job of walking me through outfit choices and suggestions. The day of, I met him at his studio. He was absolutely delightful. Professional, respectful, funny, calming, and flattering, the perfect combination to calm you down and make you feel good about yourself. He knew exactly what to say to help me relax and get the shot. What I loved most was the process. Due to the way the studio is set up, we could take a series of photos, then go and sit down and take a look at the photos. This allowed for us to discuss lighting, colors, and positioning. Before taking another series. After I choose the photos I was happy with, Michael "finalized them" with some minor edits and emailed me the final photos. Even then he was willing to make some changes. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Something I initially dreaded turned into an amazing and even fun time. I highly recommend Michael and will definitely return for future photography needs.

Hey you. Yes, YOU. Are you using a selfie for your LinkedIn profile? It's OK. Michael Epaul…read morephotography can fix that. It was time for me to get some corporate headshots and my employer was not about to spend any money in hiring a professional for me. I decided I owed it to myself to put my best face forward. I searched for portrait photographers with a studio in Springfield, and Michael Epaul came up. First, I will say, that this trend of photographers not having a studio baffles me. I would never consider someone a professional if they did not have a professional work space! That being said, Michael Epaul Photography has a gorgeous, cozy studio, so you don't have to worry about a setting. For the ladies, or anyone interested, hair & makeup can be added to your session. This worked out well because it took the pressure off me of having to arrive at the studio in perfect condition. And then the headshots began. From start to finish, the process was streamlined. Prompt communication via text and/or email worked very well. I was given about 20 pictures to choose from; I picked one and was given 2 versions of it. And don't tell anyone, but....Michael was able to ahem....touch up things about me in a natural way (aka he took away the 10 lbs the camera adds). Overall, very satisfied with this portrait session and look forward to doing business with this photographer in the future. NOTE: on site parking, accepts credit cards, and photographer does more than just portraits (weddings mitzvahs and more!)
