Mel is so warm and instantly makes you feel like you've been friends forever. I've never done a photo-shoot so I had no idea what to do, but she walks you through everything and tells you what poses to do to make you look amazing. Boudoir isn't all about looking as sexy as possible (that's a nice benefit tho!), it's a celebration of you and how beautiful you are...Mel captures that in her incredible images. I'm obsessed with the photos and am so happy I decided to do this. The hardest part was whittling down the photos for my album b/c they were all sooooo good! Also have to shout out Marlo for the beautiful hair & make-up, I felt so glam and pampered! The whole experience felt like a fun girls day :-)

Mel and co were amazing from start to finish - organized, reliable, and professional. I felt so…read morecomfortable during my shoot and Mel gave me fabulous direction. The hair and makeup was also beautiful and exactly what I asked for. The pictures are perfect and Mel took into account the tone and vision I described to her. I would recommend this experience (with Mel, obviously!) to any woman who is even slightly interested - you will NOT be disappointed!!!!! I am so, so happy I did this and I will cherish these images forever.

We've used Isabel for all three of our children, and every experience has been truly amazing! And…read morehonestly she's become so much more than a photographer, she's like an old family friend. From our first newborn session almost 8 years ago to the most recent one, she has consistently provided us with beautiful, timeless photos. She takes the time to ensure every shot is perfect, all while making the session feel calm and enjoyable. The photos she captures will be treasured for the rest of our lives. we love how she manages to highlight the unique personality and tiny details of each of our kids so effortlessly and naturally. We've received so many compliments on her work, and we'll continue to trust her with our family's most precious moments. We looked forward to each session with Isabel like a visit from an old friend and we trust her completely to capture these fleeting moment of our kids's childhood. We can't recommend Isabel enough!

We have been working with Isabel since 2017 and we LOVE her! I consider myself so lucky that we've…read morehad her as our everything photographer (maternity, new born, first birthday, etc.). Not only that every single session turns out amazing, but she also has a magical personality with kids and makes the session feel so easy! My kids literally love her and feel so comfortable around her. My 5 year old said "Isabel is actually fun with pictures" after our last session! Also believe it or not, our latest family shoot was requested by my husband!!!! Also, as a procrastinator who never finds time to print photos or create memory albums, I truly appreciate how Isabel offers the gorgeous albums and beautiful frames. Every piece is carefully curated with so much love and thought. If you want someone sweet, fun, talented and amazing with kids, then look nowhere else. You'll never regret having Isabel as your photographer!

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

Bruce did the engagement/save the date photos for my summer wedding. It was a rainy, dreary, cold…read moreday instead of the sunny, cheery weather I had wanted. Despite conditions that would put a damper on most people's moods and creativity, Bruce was such a great sport - he came up with imaginative photographs that captured the quirky, fun-loving theme we discussed. He has a knack for finding just the right angle, background, pose or spontaneous shot. Bruce made my fiancé and I comfortable in front of the camera (a big challenge) and had us laughing and smiling the whole time. The end result was a collection of hilarious, touching, and beautiful photographs that capture our personalities to a T. I could not recommend Bruce Spero Photography more highly.

He's also passionate about photography and it shows. The end result was a great collection of high quality photos - more traditional shots as well as funny, sweet candid shots, which ended up being my favorites from the day. I highly recommend Bruce - you'll get a fun, low key, no-stress experience, and the photos won't come out looking like every other staged shoot you see these days.

She was great with our daughter, and was able to get her to open up and be herself. We had an hour long photo session in a nearby park and Amara got some fantastic pictures of our daughter as well as us as a family. After the photo session, Amara got us preview pictures within a couple days. She was very responsive and helped us make some minor photo edits where necessary. I would definitely work with her again, and would recommend her to any families looking for toddler and family pictures.

With Bella behind the camera, I was able to relax and be in the moment with my guests, and she really knoinccked it out of the park with the gallery she delivered. I could not possibly have asked for better photos -- they will help our family remember this day for generations in a beautiful, emotive way. Since we booked one of her "wedding" packages, there was also an "engagement" session included -- it was a great way to celebrate our family in a more casual way, and for my son to get comfortable in front of Bella's camera (he's at a stage where he HATES having his photo taken, but Bella made him very comfortable). Bella is amazing, and we will definitely be booking again.

She is very familiar with Boston City Hall and the surrounding areas; our pictures are perfectly composed. She also puts everyone at ease when photographing. During the ceremony itself she got great pics but was also not intrusive to the moment in any way. Would hire her again next time I need a photographer.

She answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable about moving forward with the next steps to make a down payment and schedule my appointment. I did appreciate that Ash offers payment plans for those who can't pay the entire amount upfront. I love that during shooting she was able to assist me with each and every single pose, which was extremely helpful because I usually feel awkward with how I pose. This made me feel good about how the photos were going to come out. My photos came out beautiful. I have done 3 separate shoots already (maternity, mommy & me milk bath, halloween mini) I enjoyed every single one of them . Sometimes things do not go as planned especially when you are shooting with a 3 month old baby that is crying . Ash went above and beyond to do her best to make sure I would be happy with my photos of my daughter and I. She offered and did drive to an entirely new location to try and make the best of an uncontrollable situation . I would recommend having a photo shoot done with Ash to any of my friends and family and I do plan on having another shoot with her in the future. With Love

I posted the above review after Ashley ruined my daughters first birthday. Since that point, she…read morehas repeatedly harassed me to take down her negative review, offering "seriously buy ALL of the decorations, get a baker to bake the cake, and I can even buy her a cute outfit! I'll even gift you a canvas print or an album." despite me telling her no, over and over again. I literally had to tell her "no means no." When that didn't work, she minimized the importance of my daughter's birthday - "A wedding and a first birthday don't really compare..." I told her no they didn't, given that some people marry multiple times, but my only child will only turn one, once. So then she threatened me with legal action- "I will be talking to a lawyer and sending a Cease and Desist Letter for Slander." I told her to go ahead and consult a lawyer. Apparently, Ashley also doesn't know how to use Google to find the definition of slander. It's absolutely not slander if it is true. I have all of this documented, including how she admitted that she was scheduled to nanny on the day of my daughter's birthday, and her plan was just to call out sick. Is this the work ethic of someone you want to hire and trust with your important day? I am happy to send anyone screenshots. She then proceeded to post pictures of my child, as well as my personal address and phone number on social media. She says it was a mistake, but it's just another incident of carelessness and thoughtlessness by this woman. She states is was a one time double booking mistake. But she admitted to me that her original plan was just call out sick to her employers so that she could do the photography gig. That's not a mistake, that is a purposeful attempt to let down her employers. Does that sound like the work ethic of someone you want to hire? Whatever she chooses to call herself, you should look up her reviews, yourself, on yelp and other platforms . She has rebranded herself, so you can find her services both under her name, and also under Sea You Smile Photography. I am not the only person she canceled on. I think it is important that anyone considering hiring Ashley know this information.
