We booked a special mini session with Alecia and I can't recommend her enough! I had a little…read moretrouble booking through her website, but she quickly responded and helped me troubleshoot. When the last spot was taken, she messaged me directly to let me know she opened up more times. We met her at a little park where she was set up and ready to go as she had back-to-back mini-sessions. Despite it being a mini session (just 15 minutes I think?); we never felt rushed. I'm not sure how she accomplished that! She must be a wizard! During the shoot, I felt confident she got some great shots. She had a blanket set up on the grass for our 6-month-old upon arrival. 6-month-olds are tricky since our baby couldn't sit on her own, and she also refused to lay on her back. Alecia was clever with her poses and had my baby girl and our 5-year-old son lay on their tummies. We moved to several locations in the park including a cute wooden footbridge. We got a very cute shot with her laying her head on his shoulder! Alecia was so sweet and had great energy during the shoot! We really enjoyed her personality and vibe! We felt so comfortable which is so important when you're doing a photoshoot. Although we didn't do a full family shoot, we just did our two children, she really made us feel at ease! I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! We loved the photos and I'm grateful we were able to catch our kiddos at this moment in time: my son's 5th birthday and our daughter at 6 months. Children grow so quickly and I truly treasure having these photos. If you're looking for a sweet photographer who can get your kiddos so smile, make you feel at ease, and capture bright, cheerful photos, look no further -- Gingerly Snapped checks all the boxes!

I'm excited to have her do future photo shoots as our girls grow.

We were blown away by the experience working with her from first contact through to delivery of the final photos. Our wedding was quite non-traditional which Cari approached with care, enthusiasm, and refined creativity. Before the event we connected and she grasped our style effortlessly and with attention to detail via her questionnaires and great communication. Her final photographs not only captured the spirit of our vintage-themed celebration but also elevated it! There's magic in how she captured our community and she approached everyone with true empathy. The real cherry on top was how much Cari's presence added to my and my husband's enjoyment of the wedding itself. I felt like we were old friends and she was completely engaged with us. She has a great sense of humor and guided us through the entire event with an excellent sense of timing, awareness, and relaxed demeanor. Cari went above and beyond to photograph everything we discussed and more, she helped keep us aware of the time as we were being pulled in a million directions. She aptly suggested we step away from the whirlwind a few times that allowed for us to take a breath. Those were my favorite moments of the evening. Cari, you contributed so much joy to our wedding and handed us a breathtaking photographic collection that we will treasure forever. Thank you for sharing your skill and the gift of your presence with us. It almost makes me wish we could have another wedding, hehe. But instead I'll just continue to wholeheartedly recommend you to my friends and family with their own nuptials on the horizon. I hope our paths cross again!

We rescheduled for weeks to get the perfect day, and that is a testament to how accommodating and considerate she is to make sure we loved our photos. And we sure did - she used a mix of film and digital and I was blown away at her attention to detail and her eye for creating the perfect shot. We are not the most photogenic and she made the process so easy, giving us poses/prompts and cracking jokes along the way. Truly a joy to work with and would do so again in a heartbeat!

The only reason 2 stars were given was because there's no denying Emmy's talent as a photographer…read more However, her lack of communication and integrity made my experience with her extremely frustrating. Because of this, I would not recommend her unless you take my experience and adjust the contract she makes you sign. jealous of those who have had a great experience, but for first time clients, If you don't want to read the whole review, I at least urge you to push for the change in contract terms where you don't pay a final % of the package until you receive the final gallery. Without this, Emmy has no incentive to return them to you on time. If she doesn't agree to this reasonable change in payment terms, you should probably ask yourself why that is... I reached out to schedule my sessions with Emmy when I was only 8 weeks pregnant since I had come across her IG page and loved her work so early on. Signing the contract and paying the deposit was no problem. The problems came later on, which is why I advise changing the wording of the contract to protect yourself as well. Issue #1: I was booked for a late January session, because of personal reasons I had to reschedule. Per our contract, I knew it was going to be a $50 rescheduling fee. However, I did not expect for Emmy to break the terms of the contract we had both signed "because of the amount of people that had been doing so". These are her words, not mine, screenshot of the email exchange. Why is it my responsibility to pay extra for what her other clients are doing to her? I left this conversation feeling frustrated since she had no issue breaking the terms of the contract on her end over $25, so I made the decision to cancel the newborn session and requested to move the $150 deposit I had paid over to the remaining amount left of the maternity session. At this point, Emmy called me and made it a huge point that we had signed a contract where it states that the deposit was non-refundable. I asked her then why it couldn't be amended if she had no problem breaking the contract on her end to charge me an additional $25 to reschedule. She decided that the $50 would be respected, but that I still would not receive my $150 deposit back. Issue #2: I booked the session with the makeup artist she frequently uses and I was comfortable with her work since I could see it on IG and it matched my style. The week of my maternity shoot she makes a post searching for a new MUA. I don't know if it's just me, but I personally did not want to be the one who gets experimented on with a new MUA since I had not seen her work. I reached out to Emmy to let her know that I was fine with removing the makeup portion of the package. Again, she made it a big deal about not being able to change the terms of the contract (which makes absolutely no sense if she is the one who wrote the contract...) and instead wanted me to downgrade my package. My package was $900, the package she wanted me to downgrade to was $700. This $200 difference meant the loss of the makeup, 2 dress options and 2 backdrops. Which makes no sense when at the time of booking, the makeup add-on had been a $150 add-on fee. She again, she was only interested in changing the contract terms when it meant that she would make more money. Email exchange on this is also attached. Issue #3: We went ahead and took the photos as scheduled. Per the contract, she was supposed to send me the final gallery no later than 6 weeks after the shoot date. Well, 6 weeks went by and there was no word from her at all. I finally reached out and heard no communication back from her except for the finished gallery a few days later. She charged an additional $200 for the changes I made to the contract, but there is no repercussion for her not upholding her end of the contract? How is it not taking advantage of your clients when you sign a contract and expected them to uphold the terms out of respect for your time, but you have zero lack of respect for our time and money and will gladly break the terms on your end when it is convenient to you?
