I recently worked with Jess when I needed a portrait style headshot for a business I was starting…read more From the moment I walked into her office, Jess was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and informative. Jess explained the process and pricing, and promptly sent forms and contracts that corresponded with our conversations to outline and finalize details. She spent a great deal of time discussing with me what were my needs and exploring possibilities for the overall look and feel of the photo I desired. The shoot itself was SO fun. Jess knows how to put you at ease and also gives direction and has an eye for detail. She'd move a hair that was out of place or tell me to lean forward or shift my weight if a pose I was going for didn't look quite right, etc. She also had a lovely assistant whose kind and easy-going demeanor was a bonus. Jess made this feel like a boutique experience: like I would imagine if going to a "big city" and working with the best in their field. If a photographer can have bedside manner- Jess is a 10! She is obviously technically skilled as well, so to have the full package was a find. She would offer her perspective but would also listen to my feedback and wants without condescension. The final product came out beautiful, and what struck me most about the whole experience was the time Jess spent with me to make sure she understood my needs and could provide photos that would be "on brand" and visually communicate the message I wanted to send to prospective clients. HIGHLY recommend this talented artist.

She was wonderful to work with, very thorough, always works with a contract, responsive via email and phone, and prepared in advance, setting expectations for the experience. She arrived on time and captured the event experience as we discussed beforehand. She was clear about pricing and was able to edit the contract to fit our needs for timing and payment along with a timeframe in which she'd send the photos, which she did through Google Drive. They turned out beautifully and she featured a few on her blog! Can't wait for the opportunity to work with her again!

My company is looking to change up our headshots from professional to more relaxed and we hired…read moreKelly for the job. She was such a pleasure to work with. If you're like me, getting pics completed in a photo shoot like session, I'm totally uncomfortable in front of the camera. Kelly did such a wonderful job in ensuring I felt comfortable and explored different poses. I even saw she does senior pics and my son will be a senior next year. I'm considering hiring her for the job. Located in the Village Gate area. Parking was easy and door 1 was easy to find. Navigating to the 4th floor (door pic attached) was easy as well. Loved the history of the building that Kelly told me about as well as the preserved historic look of the building. Highly recommend.

I hired Pauleen to help me with wedding design services. I had a vision of how I wanted my wedding…read moreto look but I really didn't know how to tie everything together. I really relied on her experience to turn my ideas into a beautiful finished event that my guests couldn't stop raving about. Her attention to detail is what really helped take my wedding to the next level. She thought of the little things that I never would have thought of, and those are the details that matter. Hiring an event designer isn't just for big budget affairs. In fact I would recommend her even more for people on tight budgets because she really helped me get the most out of my money. She is very handy, creating much of the decor herself which really helps control costs. It's easy to throw a great party with a 100k budget, for the rest of us, there are people like Pauleen. On the day of my wedding I knew everything was in good hands and I didn't worry about a thing. That piece of mind was worth every penny in hiring Pauleen.

There is no way we could have (calmly and sanely) made it through our wedding day without Pauleen!…read moreWith a park wedding venue without any staff, Pauleen was vital in coordinating and making the day go off without a hitch. She was always prompt, professional, and upbeat.It seems like she just got into my head and executed everything perfectly. I cannot speak highly enough of Pauleen!

Her shots and selection of baby poses captured our daughter perfectly. While we haven't seen the actual digital prints yet, watching her work in-person was almost magical. She was able soothe our baby when needed and at the same, able to put our little one in all sorts of cute baby poses. She made it seem effortless. The whole process was relaxed and when my wife had to change & nurse the baby in between shots, she gave us all the time we needed. I will update this review when we see the photos, but as it stands, I would highly recommend Kelly Elizabeth Studio for your newborn photo needs.
