Esmaralda is the best!! We have had her take photos of our family (large group of about 15 people,…read moreour immediate family) and every time she gets MULTIPLE options that we can use for holiday cards, invitations, and scrap books. We have used one of her photos for our holiday cards for the past 3 years and I wouldn't think to call anyone else! Esmaralda has a great eye, a steady hand and excels with retouching (extra bonus for for me!) Thank you Esmaralda for making our photo sessions so carefree and painless, we look forward to seeing you again this fall for another photoshoot - this year we'll do it with the fall foliage, can't wait!!! - Jenny and the boys

We were looking for a professional shoot to celebrate our daughter's 6 month birthday. Belle was…read moreall about the in-the-moment memories. She reminded us we were trying to capture our daughter as she was and where she was "today" and those specific memories and gave us her thoughts as both a photographer and a mom. From the initial contact to the very end, Belle was amazing! She was extremely quick to respond, very thoughtful, answered every question we had, and was very detailed. Throughout all the email communication, she was very professional yet laidback! She has a great personality and it really shows through her responses. The site she uses for her services is very straightforward and simple. The entire process was super smooth. All email messages are saved on one page for easy access. Any photos are also saved. Contracts and payments was super easy. Belle provides lots of details which helps answers so many questions quickly. She provided us a welcome guide that gave tips on how to prepare and what to expect, which was very helpful. During the actual shoot, Belle came to our house and of course had safe Covid practices. She would ask us to adjust our baby as needed and she was very sweet and patient. She took tons of pictures and let our daughter do her own thing without forcing poses and made it all natural. She would sing to get her attention and made everyone feel comfortable. Whenever our daughter started fussing, Belle would tell us to take a break and let the baby calm down and even waited for her to be fed. She went an extra mile and took pictures of the nursery for us as well since we never got professional newborn pics done. And of course, the pictures came out super cute and beautiful! She gave us estimated timelines for first set of preview photos and then the full set. She delivered way earlier than expected on both! And we were getting the shoot done for our daughter's half birthday and Belle made sure to provide a few photos by the birthday date which was only a few days after the shoot. Everything was great, Belle is super great to work with and we highly recommend.

For my 30th birthday I wanted to celebrate my milestone birthday with a photo-shoot. Goodness me,…read moreBelle was so helpful! I would consider myself a tomboy so shopping makes me want to pull my hair out. Belle recommended what I could wear making my shopping experience a breeze. I let Belle know that I wanted to do the shoot outside on a trail. She literally did the research and found the perfect location! Without a doubt Belle was committed to providing a smooth and easy experience for me. For someone who's personal schedule can get a little chaotic, she made the process easy by being so hands on and helpful. She goes the extra mile in every area! Her turn-around time in getting my pictures back to me edited was super speedy! For someone who really values customer service, you will not be disappointed working with Belle. Thanks so much for everything Belle!

We worked with Heather for newborn photos of our son. We were thrilled with the results, we have…read moresome fantastic photos to share with grandparents, and some cherished memories of how tiny he was (at 2 months, he's already changed so much). During the shoot, we didn't feel rushed at all, and Heather took the time to get multiple shots in multiple poses, and allowed time for feeding. She had everything we might possibly need from props and backgrounds to even the simple things you might not think of, like a heating pad to put under where our son was lying. However, perhaps even more important than the end results was the way she handled our son. He was only 5 days old when we had the photo shoot, and I was particularly impressed with the gentleness, patience and grace with which Heather handled and positioned him and worked with him. As first time parents, it was stressful letting someone else handle our newborn child - especially someone we hadn't met before - but Heather was very gentle and reassuring and put us at ease quickly: our son slept through the whole thing!

We LOVE Heather! Heather has done four photo shoots for my family. The first one was with my…read morehusband and I for our four year anniversary. The next was a maternity shoot and then newborn shoot after our daughter was born. She was also present during my labor and birth of our daughter. Heather has such a grace and presence about her that makes you so comfortable to be who you are when she's shooting pictures. She has captured some truly special moments for our family over the last two years and we're so grateful for them. My parents and in-laws live out of state and out of the country, the pictures that Heather took during my labor allowed our parents to feel like they were right there with us and were able to share the moment from afar. Oh and details - Heather notices them all! From how your shirt lays, to whether the clasp on your necklace is showing - she lays on the ground, climbs up things - whatever she needs to do to get the perfect shot! You WON'T be disappointed with Heather - her personality and the quality of pictures, all while have a blast during the shoot!

She really knows the DMV area and offers great sites for shooting. When I floated the idea of cherry blossoms, winter themed and then Fall foliage (for each of the respective above shoots), she picked out stunning sites that were absolutely perfect. During the photoshoots, Saoussen is really great at capturing beautiful moments without feeling overwhelming or staged at all. It's always a pleasurable one hour and she sends a portfolio of numerous wonderful photos that we instantly love!

She is easy to work with, and made the (my first time) experience of being professionally photographed fun and comfortable. I went to Tara for outdoor portraits and professional headshots in several locations around Alexandria - she was very flexible and was not rushed at all.

Now I noticed that Yelp only has so many reviews of her business showing and the same thing happens to other businesses on Yelp so make sure you scroll down to not recommended reviews or something like that as you get more of the back story on a business. I'm glad I did and am glad I also chose her for my family portraits. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your family portraits as she's a true professional. I've also sent friends her way to get theirs done. Thank you Nicole, great pics!!

We met at the Glenview Mansion and Nicole was quick to establish a great rapport with the teenagers and they truly enjoyed every moment of the experience. We highly recommend her for any professional photography needs and could not have been happier with the photo session or the amazing images that she took. Nicole is totally AWESOME - professional, knowledgeable, personal ... and just plan COOL!
