Decided on in studio as my house does not have the best backdrop/lighting (good thing because the day I had the shoot it was super cloudy) plus she has props she uses in the studio which made for great newborn photos. She is very personable and takes many photos with different viewpoints so you'll definitely have photos that you will love. Make sure to read her tip guide for the best photos. She provides color palates of what photographs well and tips on a successful newborn shoot. She also does family portraits and I'm keen on using her again in the future. If you're unsure check out her gallery online and Instagram; her shots will convince you to go with her. She was also very prompt on editing and making the photos available (1 week turn around time)! Thanks Abbey!

She is very organized and easy to work with, and she really cares about her clients. She even met with us at our venue about a month before the wedding to check out the best places to take pictures! It rained the day of our wedding, but Mary Rose brought umbrellas so we could take some photos outside. We ended up with our "first look" outside, and the pictures turned out great, despite the rain! The umbrellas were a cute touch :) She is very artistic with the way she set up our rings, my shoes, and my dress for the getting ready pictures. During the ceremony and reception, she took a lot of shots that truly captured the emotion of the day. Scrolling through the pictures, I felt like I was re-living my wedding day. I'm so happy to have these pictures to treasure forever! Thank you, Mary Rose, for capturing these beautiful memories!

My wife and I recently hired Mila to be our wedding photographer. We had our small wedding…read moreceremony in Chicago in May. She went above and beyond anything we could've hoped for during such an important occasion. She was extremely professional during all steps of the process making sure to call us before our ceremony so she would have an idea of the look we were going for in poses and photo locations. On our wedding day, she arrived early and continued to ask us more questions about what we were looking for in our photos. She was more than happy to take our suggestions on which poses we wanted to do and camera angles we wanted to experiment with. Even though we had already told her which locations we wanted pictures taken in, she was also professional enough to take pictures in completely unexpected locations that we walked by as we were headed to other previously selected locations. When we received our photos, we couldn't be happier. They turned out great! Even better than what we were expecting. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, engagement pictures, family photos, etc. we can't recommend her enough.

Unprofessional is the nicest thing I have to say about Mila. The night before my family's scheduled…read morephoto shoot she e-mailed a contract stating it needed to be signed or she would cancel the session. The problem was that there were several conflicting statements. Most troubling is the "Privacy" and "Copyright" sections of her contract. Signing this contract meant signing away any privacy of my family's images or copying the images to make things like holiday cards (which pretty much defeated the point of a family picture). I highly recommend anyone seeking Mila's services read her contract carefully in advance. Some of the inconsistencies for my situation are listed below: 1. Half of the session fees needed to be paid 7 days prior to the photo shoot which was impossible since she sent the contract the day before the shoot. 2. She verbally said it was okay to have a picture as your desktop background but the contract stated no pictures could be on your desktop or phone. 3. In the "payment" section it was clear that she did not honor the Groupon $200 worth of services, she only applied the purchased amount of $58. The session was scheduled in the time frame in which the Groupon was valid. I spoke with Mila and asked for these items to be amended before signing the contract but she refused and canceled the photo shoot. I explained that my family members had arranged work schedules and had traveled for this photo shoot but it did not make a difference to her. Unprofessional is the nicest thing I have to say about Mila.

After my then-fiancé setup an appointment with Sherry for us to sit down and discuss our wedding…read moreday, I admit, I was relieved. Our first several encounters with a variety of photographers and left me, more or less, ripe with frustration. The prospective cost, the costs on top of that costs and the feeling of being nickel and dime'd into oblivion were starting to pile on. So, when the discussion started pertaining to what exactly was offered by Allusion with Sherry, my apprehension quickly melted away. She knows what she's doing. After looking over the amazing pictures her and the photographers in her employ had taken in the past in conjunction with the packages they offered, I quietly nodded to my fiancé and smiled. Everything was shaping up perfectly to the point that when she offered us the bridal expo discount on her top tier package, all of which is comprehensive with a ton rolled in, we accepted and put down our deposit. The exact details of the package are staggering, we just got so much for the money we put down, but even the lower tier packages struck me as significantly better than what any other photographers had offered us in the process of searching for someone to capture the special moments on our wedding day. On our wedding day, we had two photographers to capture both the bridal party as well as my groomsmen and I. Sherry herself was one of the photographers that day, given her familiarity with our venue, Stan Mansion. They followed us both throughout the day and into the evening capturing such an incredibly amount of pictures, that I couldn't help but be further impressed when we started going through them all on the website about a week after returning from our honeymoon. Besides the posed pictures, they never once became obtrusive or got in the way of myself, my bride, the fellow vendors or really anyone. They were the photographer equivalents of Batman, visible when they needed to be, but otherwise unnoticeable unless absolutely necessary. It was positively perfect. Speaking of perfect, the pictures they took were leagues beyond what my now-wife and I had hoped for. We've poured over them since receiving our proofs to finalize our wedding album and can't help but laugh and smile over the incredible skill displayed in the photographs. Well beyond putting disposable cameras on the table and well worth the quality any amateurs could have hoped to deliver upon. When my wife and I look back on our wedding pictures and the album therein ten, twenty or fifty years from now, we'll be thankful that we opted to go with Allusion Photography. On a personal level, Sherry could not have been more warm and professional to work with to capture our wedding and thereafter. She brings an outstanding class to her profession that easily trounces the casually maverick attitudes of many other photographers we'd discussed wedding details with. As I said, she knows what she's doing. Even during the meeting after the wedding to pick up proofs and discuss any outstanding details, she was more than receptive to deliver exactly what we wanted and to do so remarkably well, continuously ensuring that we were ultimately satisfied. Looking back, after everything we went through trying to find a photographer, I'm grateful to my wife for having stumbled upon Allusion. Every interaction we had with Sherry was pleasant and every dollar we spent was well worth it, and when planning a wedding, there's nothing quite like piece of mind knowing the people who will be working with you on that big day are friendly professionals. Sherry was both and we can't say thank you enough.

I had a hard time selecting just one photo to use for our Save the Dates... they were all so good! She is very familiar with lots of lovely locations in the area and gave us a great variety of fun, sweet, romantic and serious pictures. We have seen a few teasers of our wedding photos so far and they are AMAZING! Missy is very creative and set up the most beautiful shots. She has an eye for just the right background. She is also open to fun ideas and making sure we captured certain photos as well. We had a few special photos we wanted to take (Thank You & Christmas Card ideas) and she scouted out the best spots for each. She kept us on schedule and feeling stress-free all day. Words cannot describe how happy I am with our entire experience. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, family photos or graduation pictures... Don't look any further than Missy and Elite Photo.

From the laughter of my wife and i to the guests as well. Just looking at the pictures gives you the captured in time vibe compared to old westerns where everyone just poses and looks miserable as if they're there as a favor. Missy knew the dealiolio when it came down to taking the pictures after the "i do" she was like a teacher who gets control over her wild class " family of the groom you go nowhere, family of the bride you have 5 minutes then i want you all here. put your beer down, put your beer up, you out! you in, the faster we get through this the faster you all can drink!" (never knew my family can be organized and follow instructions so well) All the pictures we requested were taken great and in a short amount of time due to her organized style. She was very friendly when we first had our meeting rather than " this is the price range this is what you get blah blah blah" she got to know my wife and i and knew the kind of pictures we wanted other than the ones requested. The biggest advice we recieved was do not settle for just any photographer because the pictures will last you a life time and you don't want regrets" - brides brother Pat. We just got our wedding book and her talent made us feel like it was yesterday, from the small details to the happiest moments. We didn't settle for just any photographer we settled for Thee Photographer. Good luck selecting your favorites.

From the start, working with her was extremely professional. She was very timely with her email responses and was even able to fit us in on short notice.
