Michelle is so passionate about her art. I found her on Instagram & I was blown away by how her…read morephotos made me feel - I knew I wanted her to take photos of my family as well. Her work is a cut above in the emotional factor. The poses she chooses aren't typical and this results in real feeling coming out in the final product vs. stilted fake smiles. I did an email consult with her. I told her my most important thing was to get great shots of my 7 year old son & I. I missed out on newborn photos and I've always regretted that. I told Michelle this, and boy, did she deliver. I bought the premium package that came with a keepsake album. When I opened the lovely box it came in, I immediately was overcome with tears. She captured everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I needed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Michelle! I love my photos. I will treasure them for the rest of my life. ...She also offered styling advice for this style-challenged Mom. She suggested 3 websites to buy clothes from. I ended up ordering a dress online that she recommended & It was so lovely and perfect. I love the way I look in my pictures. That was a nice touch that I wasn't expecting. I've found my forever photographer!

This was our second photo shoot done with Michelle. My first ones was a maternity shoot and I…read moreloooved them! We only have some not so great photos of our family taken on our phones and just wish we had 1 good photo of us to put in a frame at home or send out to friends and family. So we decided to do another shoot again with Michelle, since our first shoot came out so lovely and I still love them to this day! My husband is always hesitant about photos as well and hates getting them done, but Michelle makes it really easy for everyone involved, including my toddler! I can't recommend Michelle enough, especially those with kids as she made it quick and easy and the photos came out even better than expected! They are so beautiful, yet again! Not only was the shoot quick and easy, but we didn't have to wait forever to actually get our photos. Honestly, I can't recommend her enough, she's so sweet, easy going, and professional and really has a great eye for photos!! You won't regret getting photos done with Michelle!

I knew I was getting proposed to when photographer told me to turn around so she can "get the…read morereaction"; ruined the surprise. The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

She would show me a pose and help give me tips on how to position my body and face to translate well on camera.

We had a phone consultation beforehand where she asked very important questions about any visions I had for the shoot, but she also brought forth her own creativity and artistic eye to it. I was nervous to get my pictures taken on the day of the shoot (I've never been professionally photographed before) and she was able to put me at ease right away. She is a creative, friendly, and professional photographer who I would recommend to anyone. I certainly will be reaching out to her in the future if I ever need a professional photo! Thank you so much Sammy :) -Jane M.

When my son got married last year Sammy took their pictures. The way she frames an image is artistic and personal. Her mastery of lighting creates stunning and intimate portraits. Sammy not only takes wedding and engagement photos, she also takes senior photos. We hired her to take informal senior photos of one of our daughters two years ago. She captured Sadie's personality instantly. We plan on hiring Sammy to take our youngest's senior photos and some college graduation photos for our son later this year. I cannot recommend Sammy enough.

I purchased the groupon for this photographer over a year ago. Another review said they were…read moreresponsive, but I have had a horrible time trying to get our session set up. When we tried to book our photo session, they didn't respond to my multiple emails. Only after going to the website contact board in November did I get a response -- that they wouldn't be able to do our photos until April of this year!When I responded to their email asking to book a date I got no response again. It has now been over a year since I purchased the groupon and still no photos! $60 totally wasted. This is probably my fault, because we have another set of photographers that we love for our family photos. I wont be buying any deals like this again via Groupon or any of those deal sites!
