Erica is an absolute dream to work with. She got to know my husband and I during our engagement…read morephotoshoot. My husband and I were pretty uncomfortable with the idea of having a day where all eyes were on us, and yet she made the whole experience so comfortable and helped us overcome our awkward fears. She was fantastic at giving subtle direction to capture just the right moment. She also helped navigate a rainy day in Central Park for the shoot, helping to hold umbrellas and working to avoid downpours to keep my hair and makeup decent (bless her!) After our engagement shoot, we consulted with her on our wedding day, the schedule, the 'must haves' on our photo list and that we were mostly hoping to capture us and our guests having a great time dancing. Erica came prepared and flexible as changes arose in pre-wedding shoot venues. She had a great eye, stopping us occasionally in front of cool buildings/graffiti in Williamsburg to take portrait and couples photos. She moved quickly through all of the 'must haves; she knows what she is doing and is efficient! Additionally, I (stupidly) did not prepare her that I would have a gown change during the evening; regardless, she was ready to capture my 're-entry'. She was truly there at all of the right moments without feeling invasive at all. She was also extremely patient with my mother, who suffers from dementia, giving small and clear adjustments to avoid my mother being confused or overwhelmed. We just received our photos from the wedding day, and wow... they are stunning. My husband and I agreed that we would be happy if we had a handful of good ones, but we are astonished by how much she was able to capture so beautifully! We are simply blown away by the photos and memories she's been able to provide us.

She was able to capture the highlights of the evening and caught us looking natural, relaxed, and just so happy. My husband is very camera-shy but she gave really good direction and made him feel very comfortable. We worked with Erica for our February wedding at Brooklyn Winery. She has done many weddings there and all the staff there love her - and I can see why. Her aesthetic was exactly what we were going for. She knows the area really well, including where all the good murals are, which made for a lot of fun city photos. We had a very limited amount of time and a very limited budget but Erica really made the most of every second. She was super responsive throughout the planning process. I admittedly was not the best about specifics shots we wanted, but she did a great job of getting all the various permutations of family members on the day of. We absolutely loved working with Erica and will definitely be recommending her to anyone who will listen!

We had the good fortune to have Christina photograph our wedding for us this spring. After spending…read morea LOT of time looking through countless sample photos, we saw something truly different in her photos that resonated with us. Her style seems so fluid- not posed or static, capturing the true 'feeling' of the wedding day. From first contacting her until now, we could not have been happier. She worked with our budget to try to find exactly what we needed. She has always been prompt to respond to any questions, very reasonable with all of our requests, and just a really nice person to deal with! She really made our wedding day go very smoothly. She went to our venue earlier to scout out all the spots and the ideal locations for photos. She was unobtrusive, flowing into the course of the day, and helped guide us when we needed some direction (with her very gentle voice and cool accent!). We have to say, she handled everything with aplomb and made the day more fun for us too! Afterwards, we received our photos and they exceeded our expectations! It held true to the style we were hoping for, and she captured every detail and the joy of the day perfectly. We are so grateful that we found her and know that if we have any other big moments coming up, we know who to call to help capture our memories!

She has an incredible eye for detail & is a true pro with lighting (indoor and outdoor). Lisa understands exactly what it takes to provide a quality environment for a photoshoot, she makes you feel very comfortable which gives you an amazing outcome through her photos. I always have a really positive experience working with her and love my photos. I would highly recommend using Lisa for any of your photography needs. She is a top tier photographer.

I don't even know where to begin but I will start by saying that Adélaïde is beyond talented and…read moreamazing! We worked with her for our engagement and wedding and her work has continuously blown us away. Adélaïde was one of the first people I texted the morning after our wedding after seeing just a few of the sneak peek photos she had shared. I wanted to share my text to her for reference, which said, "Adélaïde!!!!! I don't know how to properly thank you for capturing us, our favorite people, and our day so perfectly! We are beyond lucky to have found someone as immensely talented to work with us, but more importantly, someone who went the extra mile to get to know us as people and make sure our photos reflect exactly who we are. My sister just texted me about how in awe she was of your photos and said, 'Adélaïde was the find of the century' and I couldn't agree more. We love you so much and are forever grateful for you!" This was after just seeing a handful of photos and we somehow felt even MORE in love and grateful after seeing all of our photos (which for the record, Adélaïde turned around for us in absolute RECORD TIME)! What is most special about Adélaïde is the genuine love she has for helping others in celebrating special moments in their life. It is so clear how invested she is in her work and how committed she is to her clients. I was moved to tears in the car with Adélaïde and my sister before even meeting my husband for our first look and that was in large part due to how sweet Adélaïde was to me and how genuinely excited she was for these special moments for us. It was also amazing to watch Adélaïde in action! She was incredibly well-planned and knew the locations we were shooting in well, but she also came up with amazing shot ideas on the spot as she was inspired by things that were around us. It was really fun to watch her work. Plus she makes you feel so comfortable in her presence that you settle into having endless photos of your captured so easily and can therefore let your personalities shine. When our final photos came in (which for the record, was SO fast-- she had our photos back to us 1 month after our wedding!), we were blown away by ALL that she captured! Beyond shots of us and our families that so beautifully captured the essence of us and our feelings on that day, she got so many other amazing shots. She captured the venue and all the details of the day amazingly well and got the best candid shots of all of our guests. I have had so much fun sharing these photos with our friends and family and they have been thrilled to get such special pictures of themselves from our wedding day. As you can see, I could go on and on and ON about Adélaïde and just how amazing of a person and professional she is. If you have the chance to work with Adélaïde you have to take it! She makes the entire experience a dream and you will have the dreamiest photos of your memories to last a lifetime. Adélaïde, we will love and adore you forever and wish you all the success in the world! You are a true star and an absolute gem of a human being!

We cannot say enough good things about Meredith!! She won our [relatively shy] toddler over within…read more10 minutes, and that resulted in photos of him we will treasure forever. In a time when anyone and everyone seems to be calling themselves a photographer, its refreshing to know there are still trained professionals out there who can give you the photos you dreamed of. We are so grateful for her time and energy! She held our hands through the entire process, and made sure we felt comfortable. We highly recommend her to everyone, especially those with small children. She's magic!!

The Shoot: This was our 4th session with Meredith but our…read morefirst time working with her outside the comforts of NYC. Like every other previous session, she brought her energetic spirit and magnetic charisma behind the camera. I still don't know how, but she manages to capture so many moments of candid magic. Whether indoor or outdoor, pre-planned or off-the-cuff, Meredith never fails to bring out the absolute best in us with every session. A good photographer may take flattering pictures, but Meredith is an artist that captures moments. The emotions and actions in front of her lens are perfectly preserved in time and I cannot stress how much of a difference it makes to be able to look at her work and see the joy and love expressed in it. The Products: By now we've enjoyed several products that I think I can provide a recommendation here. 1.) First and foremost is the album. Whether you go with the leather, linen, or the hardcover, get yourself an album! Regular albums contain a series of photographs that are nice to look at, but what you'll put together with Meredith is a story captured in images. The narrative you build with her is woven into the album in a way that you just can't replicate by yourself. It may not seem all that significant if this is your first album, but you'll understand it a year from now when you look back. 2.) The think the gallery canvases are the best way to display your moments on the walls of any room. The quality of the images are excellent and worth every penny. I recommend using them in a 2- or 3-part series if you have a wall that can accommodate. 3.) The crystal trio is what regular acrylic frames wish they could do. With the image professionally affixed to the block, there is no wear and tear on the image, no magnets to rub up against the photo, just a perfectly preserved picture with a high quality acrylic block that creates a beautiful effect that you don't get with anything else. The moments that you want to revisit over and over again are the ones you want to preserve in these. 4.) The digital collection is my personal favorite. Take the images and throw them on your smart TV or whatever streaming device you use and you've got yourself a big screen digital frame. Set them as a slide show in your screen saver or background on your computer or phone and you can enjoy them in your office. If figuring out the order to display the photos is not something you want to spend time doing, the image slideshow Meredith produces are an exceptional way to get the "story" feel from the album in a digital form. TL;DR: If you want to preserve the meaningful moments in your life or those around you, this is your photographer. Get her scheduled now and you can come back and read this review later.

Paula is truly a baby whisperer and an expert in photographing newborns! I was in awe of how…read morepatience, calm, kind and thoughtful she was in handling my baby, us as first time parents and my dog who loved to run away when we asked him to come for photos. I was so worried about finding a photographer who also took the safety precautions to wear a mask, wash their hands and sanitize their props and Paula did all those things to ensure I felt safe having her coming to our home. She is very responsive and professional. We loved our photos (mix of posed and natural ones) and I can't wait to print them out! She never asked me to write a review for her. I'm doing this because I want to support Paula's small business and help other newborn moms find a trustworthy photographer.

Her fun, upbeat personality to keeping the pace lively as she made sure we and our son were comfortable throughout the whole process made the four hours we spent in her apartment fly by as we chatted like old friends. She never broke her rhythm of keeping our son cozy and us entertained with coffee and her large screen TV in her living room where she works out of. The end product? Breathtaking! Everyone is biased with seeing pictures of their own kids, but I have never heard so many compliments over photos--and rightfully so--they are amazing! I'd also highly recommend getting the metal portraits that hang on the wall; they are everything she said they'd be--light, easy to clean and no worries about tearing the canvas when you have to move them. My husband and our extended family are so happy with what Emily did, I'd recommend her to anyone with a 1000% guarantee. I'm so glad we will have these pictures to treasure for the rest of our lives! .
