Vanessa and her husband are the best! My fiance and I were…read moredog tired from moving and extremely stressed out with our work lives, so we were not looking forward to having our pictures taken while we looked so worn down and stressed. Let me tell you, Konzelmann Photography worked some MAGIC! I'm obsessed with our engagement pictures and she made us look so good! Her and her husband are so down to earth and hilarious! Those are not fake laughs in those pictures. She is also going to be our wedding photographer and we couldn't be more thrilled! She even has helped send us information on caterers, hair & makeup stylists, bridal studios, etc. You can tell she really enjoys her job and cares about her clients! I wish her Facebook page/website weren't down so I could've tagged her in our pictures!

Spectacular photos and awesome experience! I loved it all. Summer made sure the photos worked well…read morewith our decor and were exactly what we wanted according to our color/style preferences. She nailed it! Even more amazing than I could have imagined. She's so creative. Def also an expert w making your baby comfy and cozy in her professional studio. All the props, backgrounds and outfits were impressive. I got to sit back, sip coffee or tea, and enjoy watching while she worked her magic. (As a tired mommy it was kinda therapeutic to be in such a peaceful environment while another loving mom took care of my baby for a little while ) I would recommend Bella Rose to everyone--go for it, you'll be so glad you did!

If you are on the fence about which newborn photographer to select...look no further. There are a…read morecouple of options in the Hampton Roads area but Summer is truly gifted when it comes to newborn photography. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Summer is extremely attentive and responsive. She knew EXACTLY what I was looking for with little/no guidance/help from me. Her studio is amazing and equipped with clothing and props to meet your needs. A mom herself, she knew exactly what to do to calm the baby when he got fussy. When it came time to review our photos, I was in tears. I couldn't believe what she was able to accomplish with our little one. She made the decision of selecting a photo extremely difficult. So much variety and every photo is flawless! If you're on the fence about whether or not newborn photos are worth it - I'll tell you that I'll cherish these photos forever. The newborn phase is a blur to begin with with the lack of sleep, constant feeds, and crying - I can't wait to look back on these photos and fondly remember the good things - newborn snuggles, tiny toes, and peaceful naps.

Very good with my kiddo. She works with the little kids to get the best pictures. She's great.read more

From the owner: Why choose me? This Photog is a giant, energetic bundle of crazy goofiness and I fully believe that…read moreenergy is infectious, thus, invoking those n-a-t-u-r-a-l, (and sometimes elusive) smiles! I will dance like a monkey for those babies giggling and the adults can't help but laugh at me, too! Not only that, but I have been cementing moments for 15+ years and have the experience and knowledge you need for those gorgeous, canvas worthy images! My eyes will make sure that shirt's tucked in, your collar's down and your lipstick is on your lips and not on your teeth (yikes!) - no fake 'cheeeeese-y' sayings allowed here we are going for the gold!

My husband and I had Julie take engagement photos AND wedding photos for us and OMG!! They came out…read morebetter than we could've ever imagined! Julie was thoroughly prepared for absolutely anything we threw her way! She was very helpful with poses and she was so nice and very easy to work with! She always checked with my husband and I for our must have pictures and anything we particularly wanted photographed. She was early to all of our shoots and even came to our house and took photos of myself and my ladies while we got ready for the wedding. She went above and beyond on every shoot to make sure everything was absolutely perfect! She was very quick with the editing process and we were able to get a few photos right away.. like seriously the same day!! We were very impressed as we know it usually takes weeks to months to receive our pictures after a shoot. She was so helpful, reliable and very easy to work with. She made sure we had pictures of everything we wanted plus many, many more! She never got frustrated with us and took her time with everything! She was such a sweetheart and an absolute breeze to work with. She went above and beyond on each shoot and you could tell she was having just as much fun as we were! If you need a photographer for any occasion, Julie is definitely your girl. She was the most incredible photographer we've ever worked with and we can't wait to do another shoot with her!

I was in awe watching her work with our bundle of joy! What she does is definitely an art!! We had a wonderful experience with Purple Owl Photography. I would recommend this location if you don't have a budget. I explained in further detail below. Cons: Extremely overpriced! We received approximately 20 photos on a USB flash drive and a few printed pictures for over 950.00 dollars.Looking back I still can't believe I paid that much for the photos but I wanted each of them because they turned out so beautiful! With that being said to get all of the pictures on a disk drive , the owner makes your purchase a package with printed photos. All the packages with the USB flash drives are over 900+ so be prepared in the financial department !

Kept happening. Then after a session in 2019 they tacked on an extra $1K in bad charges. Never agreed to. No change order. Got tired of the bad billings. So we stopped using them. Now each year they generate fake invoices and mail and email them to us in a typical fishing scam. They know that all of our contracts were for buyouts. We've since reported them to the FTC, BBB, and States Attorneys office for fraud. I would steer clear of these guys. If you have an account with them I would audit them. Even their collection agency admitted they had nothing to go on.

Great place, great service. Dedicated to getting it right and making the client happy.read more
