My husband and I - both in our early 70's - had been asked by my 93 year old mom to have…read moreprofessional pictures of ourselves taken. Clearly a request to be granted, but fraught with a lot of doubts about how we would show up in photos at this stage of our lives! We researched several photographers and chose Denyce and Something Blue Photography from reviews. We went in for an initial conversation and thus began an incredibly fun, impressive, and thoroughly satisfying experience. My husband had two B&W family photos from the 60's that he treasured and asked Denyce about our creating something that mirrored them. We also wanted color photos for us and our family. Denyce - who very clearly has perfected her art to a high degree and has a trove of knowledge to draw from - was intrigued by the B&W project and was excited about doing it. For the color photos, she asked good questions about what we wanted to convey, where we would use them, and took the time to get to know us. My husband - who was less excited about this project - got completely engaged with it! We quickly decided that we wanted to work with Denyce. The day of the photo session, she had a wonderful person - Korina - come in to do my makeup. I could have done it myself but preferred having someone do it right for the photos. We brought in many possible outfits that Denyce helped us choose from. We laughed a lot as Denyce used different backgrounds in the studio, had us sitting, standing, hugging and many other playful things that relaxed us and brought out our comfort with each other. For the B&W photos, the poses were more serious, and she adapted to lighting - all to mimic the old photos. When we came in to review the photos, we were nervous. What if we didn't like how we looked?? Well, no worry. She had made us look terrific!! She had a good process of helping us cull down all the options and we came down to 5. We ordered prints and she has a mobile app where we could share all 5 with friends and family ("look kids, we actually look pretty darn good!") Cost: Denyce had outlined this to us at the beginning. There is a sitting fee and then the total cost depends on what you order. With the sitting fee you get a credit towards your prints. It was an investment and we found it reasonable and well (!) worth it. We were thrilled. We highly recommend Denyce and Something Blue Photography.

It's easy to schedule and pay, the pricing is clearcut so you know exactly what you are paying for, and she is great with communication throughout the process.

She responded promptly to all communication, explained her process and fees clearly, and was flexible with our schedule. The photo session itself was also managed very well. She came over to our house so we were able to be in comfortable surroundings. Jeanette is also very understanding of a newborn's schedule and quirks and never tied us down to a time block for the session. The whole session took about two hours and included multiple mood swings from our baby. She even helped us brainstorm ideas on the fly and the results were amazing! We now have beautiful memories of those first few days after birth.

First…read moreof all, I came down with mastitis the day of our family photos and had to call Lelia to let her know. She was beyond understanding and rescheduled it for us no problem. Then she reached out to us to reschedule it TWICE because the weather was looking gray and she wanted us to have clear sunny skies for our photoshoot. Seriously, who is that caring?? She even lent me a dress to wear, brought us water bottles, and provided props for our baby. We are in love with our sunset family pictures! We also took our baby's sitting up milestone session in her home studio. Again, she provided beautiful clothes, accessories, and props for our photoshoot. I thought I was going to have to stand behind the camera to get my baby to smile but Lelia took charge! She has so many tricks to get your baby to look up and smile. My baby even belly laughed! We were so comfortable in her studio and it really shines through in our pictures. We received prints in the mail and were shocked at how beautifully everything was wrapped and packaged. Lelia has such a great artistic eye and attention to detail. Cadeau photography is 100% worth your investment!

We were suppose to get cake smash photos done close to 1 year but we ended up moving out of state before that.

I've had other photographers do our photos in the past and I've found that there are only a couple good ones to choose from but with Brad's photos it was the exact opposite; so many amazing photos to choose from! Something that separates Brad from others is his ability to take action photos. It's hard for a 2 year old to stay still for long periods at a time but that didn't matter, I received so many action photos of her that had perfect lighting, a great background and her huge smile to choose from while she in the midst of sprinting from one area to another. Brad is so personable, friendly and professional which makes it so easy to be comfortable around him. I can't wait to work with Brad for our future photos!
