She was the very first vendor booked for our wedding, meaning we had a photographer before we even had a venue. I can't begin to express how thrilled I am with the results of her wedding photography. It's impossible to understand what people mean when they tell you that your wedding day will fly by in a blur, but it is the truest statement I've ever heard. Everything flies by in a completely inexplicable way, so I can't thank Li enough for capturing every little detail of the entire day. She specializes in authentic photos that capture the true emotion in every moment. Her photos aren't staged or corny. They're real. And on a day when everything is planned down to the minute, you need someone like Li to capture authenticity, and even a bit of spontaneity. Li has a sixth sense and picks up on special moments when you don't even know they're happening. On top of her incredible skill as a photographer, she's just an awesome down-to-earth person to have around. There's something very comfortable and calming about her presence, which again, is quite necessary to have around on an incredibly hectic day. A thousand times, thank you Li! You're truly an incredible photographer.

Wedding Calligraphy…read more Li addressed the inner and outer envelopes for our wedding invitations. She has several styles of calligraphy to choose from, and we chose a modern, whimsical style. Not only was the result amazing, but she finished the project in less than a week (over 300 total envelopes!), which is extremely fast and accommodating for this kind of project. She is very talented, easy to work with and did an excellent job.

I was told about SaltyDog Pet Photography and Lisa was sensitive to the timing and scheduled us right away. We picked a spot outdoors at a local park and Lisa was absolutely amazing. She understood our pain and knew what we needed. The pictures captured his spirit and his soul. I have them now forever and will always be grateful to Lisa for her professionalism, her patience and her compassion. She did a beautiful job and I would not hesitate to send anyone to her.

From the beginning, she asked thoughtful questions to understand what we were hoping for, gave suggestions on potential locations, and explained how everything would work while checking in along the way to make sure how we'd work together worked for us. On the morning of the shoot (we picked a sunrise option down by the water in the city) she took a wide variety of shots and she is amazing with dogs- she was patient with our new puppy, knew how to capture his attention, and we walked around to different spots that allowed for greater variety of backdrops and lighting as the sun came up. Once the photos were ready she did a fantastic job walking us through the options and came prepared with real materials (frames, photo album covers, samples) that really helped us envision what the final products might look like. When our selections were ready, she brought them beautifully packaged- it was like opening a series of gifts! Blue herself is an absolute pleasure to work with- she knows her stuff, is super responsive, and has fantastic ideas. The way she runs her business makes it easy to understand each step of the process, and she uses tech in a way that is easy to engage (e.g. upfront intake form, selection tool for photos, etc.) paired with high-touch service. We really enjoyed working with Blue and hope to do future shoots as our pup grows up. Thank you Blue- we love the photos and working with you!

She was very open about the process, answered all my questions patiently. She gave me a a list of locations that is within driving distance but was open if I wanted a place of my own choosing. I'm glad I chose one of the places she shared, she knew hwere to go, and good places to take the pics. At our appointment, she came on time and was very well-prepared.

I cannot praise Dog Proof Photography enough- they are AMAZING. At first, I was just playing with…read morethe idea of getting my dog, Ruth, photographed. Deciding whether or not it was worth the money, time, effort, etc. Clearly I decided to do it and let me tell you- IT WAS 100% WORTH IT ALL. I didn't have any idea where to go to take photos- so Dog Proof set up an absolute perfect array of places to take her. We went to wide open fields, beautiful lakes, graffiti walls, bridges- it was quiet the adventure. Ruth had a blast! Unlike most photo studios, Dog Proof let Ruth be a dog. They captured her jumping for her tennis ball, digging in the sand, exploring the woods. Every single photo showcased Ruth having the time of her life, enjoying being a dog. Not to mention, Ang is not afraid to get muddy! She got in the dirt to take half of our photos- getting the best of Ruth's angles! It was incredible to see her work!! When the photos came back, we were stunned. These photos will last a lifetime, moments that I could never have captured on my own, that are hanging on our walls forever. I can't thank Dog Proof enough for giving my family such a beautiful gift. If you're on the fence about getting your pups photographed- I suggest you do it! You won't regret it at all if you use Dog Proof. (AND your dog will be happy you chose them too- Ruth left the shoot exhausted with lots of cheese & meat in her belly!)

He was patient and friendly with both me and the pooch, giving us both time to get used to the studio and equipment. His reflexes were fast, allowing him to catch nuances of expression and posture for me to choose from. He used his artist's eye to show me how changing the orientation and spacing of each portrait helped produce a balanced finished product.

I started Wagnificent in December of 2017, after several fun years of on-leash dogwalking. Many dogs I walked had good recall skills and were eager for more exercise, including Kernel. This inspired me to start a physically and mentally stimulating program for dogs, where they are rewarded in numerous ways for exhibiting good behavior. Hiking off-leash with the pack gives each dog a sense of confidence, friendship and EXHAUSTION! I build trusting relationships with every pack member by routinely practicing basic commands and using positive reinforcement, including but not limited to cheese.

He has a great eye for bringing out the best in a subject and making sure you are truly happy with the results. He clearly knows his craft exceptionally well and is great at what he does. He provides just the right amount of direction to get you looking at your best - he also has a great sense of humor (and great music taste!) that made for a great headshot experience. Thanks so much, Rick!

Lauren is simply spectacular at what she does and her confidence shows through in her work. I loved…read moreseeing the photo examples she put up on her website of past clients which gives a great overview of what to expect. While I'm not sure if Lauren focuses on just animals or life events like weddings also, this review is just about her pet photography. We began emailing each other to set up a shoot with our six month old puppy before he gets older and can no longer capture his youthfulness. My wife and I talked about locations we were interested in, one of us wanted water shots and the other in the grass. It was Lauren who suggested we go to the beach where we could get both types so that is what we did. After a little back and forth with some scheduling conflicts on both ends, we decided on a weekend which likely works well for most clients. We received a list of do's and don'ts before the shoot that was super helpful. Items I had never thought of like bringing his favorite toy as a distraction to getting to the site early and running off a bit of energy so it'll be easier for the dog to settle down and take photos of. Upon arrival, we met in the parking lot of our agreed upon location and headed out on a cold evening around sunset. We had been there for about a half hour beforehand to do what she suggested and it worked wonders on settling our pup down. While it was tough to get him to look at Lauren at times, she had along her own bag of tricks including toys and a whistle so he would pay attention to her and not his owners. We tried all sorts of different locations and poses of him and it worked like a charm, even if I had to jump in and entice the dog with a treat. I've seen some previews and I'm very happy with the session, we are moving to a planning phase of buying some canvases and prints to put all around our home with an in-person meeting scheduled to review the proofs. Lauren uses another local studio to get the prints from. I highly recommend her for a very particular type of photography and if you need any excuse to look at some adorable animals to picture what your dog (or cat? or hedgehog? or billy goat?) may look like in high quality shots, simply check out what she has up on her website.
