I prefer a photographer to give direction, so she did a fantastic job with that. (She is open to your ideas if you would like as well). I received my edited photos within just two days! I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process and it was a fun experience as well! I'd 100% recommend Hayley to anyone needing professional photos.

She captures so much more than just nice family photos. She was able to see special personalities of each one of my kids and our family relationship was captured just perfectly. That is raw talent! She directed us just enough to make the posing not uncomfortable but then made us feel so comfortable and snapped away getting those great candids. Heather is so talented & special & if you hire her you will walk away with treasured documentary images that will last a life time. I'm so lucky heather documented our family. She is amazing! I'm so so so happy with our family photos

My husband and I didn't want engagement photos since we're a bit awkward in front of the camera. So she took photos at our pre-wedding tea party instead. And then our wedding the next day. She had a second photographer with her. And they were just everywhere, catching every moment. I love her style... very candid and romantic. I know she can do a lot more, but we chose a more romantic feeling. She's great to work with, and she and I have kept in contact. I plan to hire her again to do family photos. She's sweet and very responsive. She even gave me a present months after my wedding.

It is easy to coordinate with Vicki and she responds to texts quickly. We have a toddler and she makes it so easy to get my daughter to smile in photos (which is typically difficult for us). We always receive our photos back super fast as well, usually within a few days. I highly recommend using Victoria Rogers for great, high quality photos.

I am so happy I chose Raquel for my maternity pictures. I am on my 3rd baby and have never done a…read morematernity shoot. To be honest I don't much like to take pictures because I come out incredibly awkward every time. But seeing that this baby completes our family I really wanted to make sure I do all the things most first moms do lol. So this journey is well documented. Back on point* meeting Raquel was as if I was meeting a girlfriend I just hadn't seen in a while. The entire experience was comfortable and relaxed. She made the environment inviting and without trying to hard made me feel pretty and Natural. And JAM, the photos are beautiful l. I've looked at them a thousand times haha I'm so taken back by how beautiful they are. I may be checking back on them so often just to make sure it's me haha. On a normal day I'm awkward in my body. And awkward in my smile. So being pregnant ‍ geez it's next level. But if I'd known sooner that I could look this good I'd of saved all the monies to have Raquel take pictures of me throughout my pregnancy. #feelinMySelf My next goal is to get her to do a family photo shoot for us once this little guy arrives. Whole heartedly thank you Raquel for the timeless memories

I spoke to a number of different photographers who specialize in maternity photoshoots and ultimately went with Raquel because I was so impressed by her aesthetic and portfolio of work. In November 2021, I went to my maternity photo session with zero expectations and preparations 37 weeks pregnant. Thanks to Raquel (and her fantastic client wardrobe) I have gorgeous pictures from this magical time which I will cherish forever. Raquel is so warm, fun, and easy to work with! Despite my insecurities about being a plus-size, "old" (35-years-old), first-time preggo mom, Raquel honestly made me feel like an It Girl celebrity. Her feedback and direction during the shoot were so helpful and they instantly boosted my confidence. I felt gorgeous and felt she clearly knew what she is doing. Raquel was generous with her time and didn't stop until I felt confident we got all the shots I wanted. She even took a few of me and my partner. Today, I feel honored to have my photos be featured on her website, Instagram, and in this BabyCenter article!!! https://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy/hear-from-moms/15-powerful-photos-celebrating-plus-size-pregnancy_40009222?fbclid=IwAR0BC9c7q26Xe95KQvip7irJWkmtwXvey1IZJ88TCna4exqFXQKqiOoHU40 Like I alluded to earlier, if you go with Raquel and you will get the celebrity treatment!

This review is long over due ! I had my son in March & throughout my pregnancy I had everything…read morethought out from our gender reveal to his going home outfit, to a maternity photoshoot to everything else in between... EXCEPT a newborn session !! IDK why that never crossed my mind, but apparently those are scheduled MONTHS in advance to ensure there is a spot reserved when the time comes ! I had no idea the window for a newborn is so small (it's like a 12 day window or something like that) so they must be done right away. Timing is critical ! After a few tries of reaching out to photographers, I was referred by Holly Heine to Julie Irene ! & I am SO glad she pointed me in her direction !! Right off the bat I was amazed at her work (I am a photographer myself, so I am very picky !!!!). Julie's work does not scream tacky JCPenny photo session. You can tell right away that every session is unique & catered to ones individual style ~ I just LOVE that !!! I felt very confident upon booking the session with her & was excited. We ended up doing a family session & I added the make up artist onto the package (worth it in my opinion, when you're a new mom getting ready is an impossible task sleep deprived !). The clothing she provides from her prop room for your little one are all hand made by herself & so adorable & timeless. When it was time to go take a look at the photos (a couple weeks later), I was amazed. She had so many options, it was a bit overwhelming but she made it easy to help narrow it down. Our package included a folio box which is an awesome investment ! It is sitting in our living room today. She also sends high res jpegs so you can get those printed on your own at a lab which is awesome. Photos are so important to me, they solidify the memories making them eternal. So yes Julie Irene I'd 10000% recommend. The fact she took me in last minute is amazing !!! She was so patient with scheduling us, the first day we couldn't make it & she could of charged some sort of fee but didn't. She is very patient, & understanding ! She is very gentle & is a baby whisperer with your newborn ! If you are looking for a newborn photographer, book your session here. The next round I will be booking her again !

While pregnant with my 2nd son I was in search of a photographer to do a newborn session since I…read morehad done one for my 1st son. For my 1st son we went through a different company as it was during the peak Covid-19 pandemic so I had opted for an in home session. I found Julie after a lot of researching online. Immediately fell in love with her work. Reached out to her to see if I could get more info regarding the newborn session. Her assistant called, left me a voicemail along with a follow up email. Unfortunately, I was unable to get back to her for about 2 months because I was still working full time and had a toddler to take care of so time got the best of me. When I did reach back out to her assistant I did not get a response after leaving a voicemail and email. I was still very interested in working with Julie so tried one last time to get in contact via her website. Julie herself immediately responded to me and apologized. Was so glad to hear from her. We were able to get a date/time for us to go to her studio for a quick meeting so she could go over the process, available packages and give us a tour of her studio. Love her studio and loved meeting her as well! She is super sweet and her studio is so spacious. One of the rooms also has bins of toys to keep toddlers preoccupied while she works with the newborn(s). After the meeting I knew I wanted her to do the newborn session for my 2nd son so I signed the contract. After my son was born I let her know our expected go home date and we scheduled for the session about 10 days out. Everything went smoothly day of the session. I had paid a small extra fee to have her hair & makeup girl doll me up as well. She made me look pretty as I was already sleep deprived with a newborn lol. Julie also has boppy and breastfeeding pillows so you can comfortably nurse your newborn to sleep for the photo session. Julie and her assistant were great with both our newborn and toddler. The photos came out amazing and the album we purchased is absolutely beautiful. We are so happy to have had Julie do our 2nd son's newborn session.

Charla totally rose to the challenge, and survived the trial by fire..uh, I mean trial by toddler. I swear my kid screamed and tantrummed the entire time, but judging by the pictures, he's a happy, adorable, well adjusted, and well behaved kid. Hooray for the magic (read: talent) of photography. I could not possibly be happier with the session results. I'm looking forward to the next one in December with the new baby, we'll see how toddler + newborn + tired parents goes.

So confident that I've already got us signed up for a full session this summer. Megan really is gifted. I'm thankful she's close enough that we get to have her capturing our children. 20 years from now, I don't want to rely on my iphone pics for posterity ;)

In just 20…read moreminutes from drive up to leave, Megan came up with ideas, props and encouragement that resulted in six absolutely beautiful images! She was prompt, professional, and her use of cropping and light is just amazing. The only thing I would have liked was better information on the site location. We probably would have worn closed-toed shoes and pants for the location we were in had we known better. Nonetheless, Megan came equipped with a blanket and two step seats to keep us off the prickly ground. We would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.
