I have used Alaina for photos 3 times now (maternity, newborn and holiday photos), and have been so happy with the experience and the results every time! During my maternity shoot, she helped me feel very comfortable (when I was feeling anything but), and made sure to get all the photos I asked for, while also offering good suggestions. She was very patient when photographing my newborn and worked very well with her feeding/napping schedule. She took so many photos and continued to come up with additional ideas for photos as we were shooting. Her photos are a great mixed of posed and candid, so you get a great balance in terms of style. Her interactions with my baby were great during our holiday photos as well, as she was great about holding my baby's attention and getting her to smile (now 3 months). At one point, I was changing my baby's outfit during the holiday photos, and Alaina started snapping photos of her just because she thought she looked cute at that particular moment, even though it wasn't part of our planned holiday photos. Although it was obvious throughout the photo shoot that Alaina loves what she does, that particular moment really made it obvious to me that this is way more than just a job for her. She is also very timely in getting the photos out to you and continues to work with you through the end to make sure you are happy, or to make any changes that you want. She has been a pleasure to work with and I will continue to use her! read more
