His warm and welcoming demeanor makes it effortless for clients to feel comfortable in front of his camera. Our 2 year old son was smiling the entire time reacting to Dan's fun personality and the natural, playful scenes he caught us in. An absolute professional and it's been impressive watching his work & team grow since we initially connected in 2014. Well deserved for someone whose passion and love for his work comes out instantly when you meet him. Don't miss any opportunity you get to work with Dan Stewart Photography!

We began a strong work relationship and it didn't take long to develop into a genuine friendship. Micheal makes a great teammate; I had a tendency to shoot with no end in site and Michael was great at managing time and also conceptualizing idea's on the fly. Bringing the whole package to the table, Michael is one of the few creatives I have met who is equally talented in art direction and photography, possessing a diverse knowledge in all of the various photographic genres. Extremely easy to be around, smart and efficient with creative endeavors, I always look forward to working with Michael.

She somehow managed to get us some wonderful portraits of the 11 of us, each individual family, and captured some gorgeous candid shots as well. This was quite a feat with 5 children (4 of which were toddlers!) She's a miracle worker! Love the quality of the images she sent us! Highly recommend! We will be using her again.

She had a special going on that if you booked a shoot the book was free, and she honored that instead of charging me. The photos turned out so gorgeous and it was truly very easy to work with Melissa. That being said, I usually am not photogenic. The only thing I wished I did differently was to work out before the shoot! The poses weren't the easiest, and I felt totally beat up the next day, but it was well worth it because my photos turned out awesome!

What a great guy to be around!…read more Paul is calm, funny, easy to talk to, and...(obviously by these reviews), a great photographer. We called only a day in advance, yet he squeezed us in after a day of THREE different photo shoots. Long day for him! Even after having so many photography jobs (and us telling him not to rush), he had our photos to us in just two days. The photos are BEAUTIFUL and most importantly, real-looking. Instead of doing a lot of editing, he used the natural light during the photo shoot to our advantage and I was wowed when I ended up liking every photo he'd taken. Would definitely recommend!

I have had Diane do the senior pictures for both of my children. She photographed my son three years ago. He is a bit shy and really did not want to get his picture taken, but in a matter of moments, Diane had him relaxed and really enjoying the experience. I couldn't have been happier with the end results. She photographed my daughter just last fall. Again, she had a way of getting her to relax and really enjoy the session. Diane had us smiling and laughing, while she efficiently went about her work. She encouraged us to pick some locations and then was able to be creative in using the backgrounds in a most interesting way. Once again, the results were beautiful. I am happy to recommend Diane to photograph your special occasion. She is professional, personable, creative and affordable. I think that you will enjoy the experience and the end results as much as I have.
