She has done my maternity photos, newborn photos, 1st Christmas with Santa and today his 1 year photos, complete with a cake smash that she made specifically for the shoot.

Stephen Grant is a GEM of a photographer! I hired him for my and my partner's engagement…read morephotoshoot, and he went above and beyond! We've received a sneak peek of the images from the shoot, and we're over the moon already! As a photographer and photo editor, Stephen is extremely talented. The samples on his website show his range of experience across different dimensions (weather conditions, different times of day, indoor vs outdoor locations). We found that his experience certainly translated to the images we've received back so far. His framing is thoughtful, and he makes fantastic use of lighting and the location in the moment! Before the session, I got to see Stephen go above and beyond with his thoughtfulness, flexibility, and professionalism. From the moment we agreed on the date and time, Stephen patiently corresponded with me over the weeks prior. He would always reply in a timely manner and was willing to share his wealth of experience. He was able to advise about locations I was considering, even sharing helpful sample photographs to help me make a more informed decision. As the weather forecast fluctuated in the week prior, he even helped me prepare for adverse weather scenarios and even helped iron out back up locations/plans. During the session, my partner and I found Stephen's collaborative nature extremely impressive. He helped set up for the shoot before hand, and he made my partner feel extremely comfortable throughout the session. He struck an excellent balance between giving us recommendations for things to try and allowing us to be ourselves. We were a bit nervous for our first photoshoot together, but there was absolutely no reason to be! We can't wait to receive our full set of images, and we'd love to work with him again for photos in the future! Anyone looking for a photographer will be in INCREDIBLE hands with Stephen!

This was our first family photoshoot since the birth of my two-year-old son and to say that we are impressed is an understatement. In fact, we have already decided to use Mat for future sessions. This was the first photographer we have worked with who not only responded quickly, but provided our proofs within 48 hours. Highly recommend Mat for your photography needs!

Mat gave me exemptory service…read more I needed to get some photos done for my Linkedin profile and wanted a natural setting that was professional, but showed my love for the outdoors. He brought me to a park near Burlington and took pictures where he could meld the background greenery. After I received the photos he melded the background greenery to what it looked like a green mosaic painting. I was very stunned and astonished how he worked the background. What I enjoyed the most was the the corporation and the time he took to find out about me so he could get me into the right mindset and angles so I can come across looking great!!! Thank you.

Working with Kris Ventresco of Starlight Photography was one of the best decisions we made during…read moreour wedding planning process. From our engagement session to the big day itself, Kris was a total professional--talented, patient, and incredibly easy to work with. He has a remarkable ability to put people at ease, which made our sessions feel natural and relaxed, even when we were feeling nervous (and awkward) in front of the camera. Kris has an incredible eye for detail and composition, capturing not only beautiful portraits but also the candid, in-between moments that truly tell the story of the day. Our engagement photos felt authentic and personal. Every image was full of emotion, light, and artistry and he managed to capture all of the joy, laughter, and love. We cannot wait to see our wedding photos, but we already know that they are going to be amazing! Kris was an absolute joy to have around on our wedding day. He was calm, organized, and blended in effortlessly with our guests, all while capturing everything perfectly. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. We are so grateful to have had Kris document such an important moment in our lives. If you're looking for a photographer who is both gifted and genuinely kind, we can't recommend Kris Ventresco of Starlight Photography highly enough.
