From beginning to end, Claire made this such a memorable experience. Our very first chat over the…read morephone, I was nervous but as I continued to talk with Claire, she explained the session and made me feel at ease. I like how she kept me updated with emails and texts, asking if I had questions regarding the shoot. And as my photo shoot was coming up, she would email reminders and do and don't on what to bring - outfits, accessories, - as well as how to prepare ourselves. Once I got to the shoot, I was so nervous, but Claire made me feel comfortable and showed/explained poses to me. I loved the outcome of the photos that I purchased more items / photos. I can't wait to see the end result. This whole experience has definitely boost my self-confidence and made me feel more beautiful in my own skin. I would definitely recommend her!

I decided to book a photoshoot with Claire because I had recently lost some weight and was feeling…read morereally good about myself. During our consultation, she made me feel super comfortable with her professional manner and fun attitude. I never felt pressured to book her for a photoshoot, but looking at the photos from her ad and talking to her, I knew I would be in good hands, so I decided to book her. Working with her was so easy from the very beginning. She's transparent on her process, and she walks you through it step by step. Her emails have so much useful information, so be sure to read them! She helps you pick outfits that are flattering for your body type, hair, nails, and makeup tips, places to shop, what to bring for your photoshoot, schedule for the day of, etc. There is no reason for someone not to have a great experience with Claire; just follow her instructions, she's been doing these shoots for a long time, and she knows what she's talking about! Upon arrival, Claire and my makeup artist (Ariel) went over my preferences, and I cannot praise Ariel enough; my hair and makeup were absolutely flawless! Claire will talk with you about the process, which made me feel more comfortable, then she'll go through the outfits to see what would work best for the shoot, and set up your wardrobe in a private room. Claire and Ariel will check your outfits and jewelry to make sure you look flawless, and your shoot begins. Don't worry about posing; Claire has a ton of poses for you and guides you on how to hit your marks. My time with them was so much fun, exciting, comfortable, and empowering. When the shoot is done, you'll have a break, so make sure to bring lunch! During this time, Claire is setting up your photos for the selection process. Again, there is no pressure to pick or discard photos from your gallery. The hardest part is declining photos because her photography is gorgeous! I couldn't believe how incredible these photos looked, and that takes a lot for me to say about myself; I have never felt so confident about my looks until seeing these photos. After the selection process, I always received an email when my prints or artwork were being shipped to me, again continuing her fantastic communication process. If you book a shoot with Claire, you're doing yourself a favor. Just be sure to read all the emails because the information is so valuable to enhance your photoshoot experience. She is great with communication, so if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask her!

I cannot adequately put into words how incredible my experience with Kate was. I felt called to…read morework with her after getting to know her personality on a branding workshop she led, and then I saw her photos and my gut told me I HAD to work with her! Kate worked with me for months to get clear on my brand, strategy, and planning for my photoshoot - and didn't bat an eye when my business plan completely changed only a month before the scheduled shoot! Her kindness, professionalism, visual eye, intelligence, and pure TALENT radiates out of her, and it was a true pleasure to work with her. With my whole heart, I trusted Kate with my vision - I felt completely seen, and she absolutely delivered. The day of the photoshoot itself was an absolute dream - I am no model, and I was SO nervous to get in front the camera. I had no reason to worry. Kate helped direct me and guide me into natural poses, and knew exactly how to work with the light and the environment to create the best photos and experience possible. She was prepared with a shot list and everything you could think of, and her high-energy and confidence made me feel so at ease and enthusiastic about the process. And last, but not least.... the PHOTOS. WOW. I still get goosebumps and chills when I look at them. I've never felt so beautiful and confident in my business and my brand, and I know that is all thanks to Kate and the gift she has given me through her branded photography. They are so much more than photos - they truly convey the message and spirit of my brand, and evoke feelings that I never would have been able to achieve if I had just taken shots of myself on a tripod. Kate's photos have changed my life. Kate, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Kate is such a talented photographer I don't know where to begin, but let me speak specifically to…read moremy experience at my recent maternity shoot. Her photography is excellent because you can see the connection she has with her subjects. I love the simplicity of Kate's photos - no need for the use of elaborate backdrops. Shooting with her is very natural and easy. She poses you to capture the best possible angles and shots. Her use of light during my maternity shoot took my breath away. Every moment I've seen that she's captured has been magical and tells a story. She has a natural eye for finding great shots and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful even whilst 30 weeks pregnant. I would recommend her for so many different types of photography - she has a knack for headshots and personal branding. She's fantastic at boudoir and maternity photos. I would trust her to capture any important moment or memory. It's worth mentioning that she took my photos while practicing safe social distancing - so rest assured you'll get incredible images even in these unusual times. Photographers are storytellers and for Kate to be able to use images to create her own stories from them is absolutely amazing. Thank you Kate!!

I…read morewas skeptical at first, uncomfortable in my own skin, but I felt totally comfortable from start to finish. The hair and makeup gal Miranda was amazing. Such good conversation and made me feel so comfortable from the start. Not to mention she did an amazing job. My hair has never looked better! I was totally new to doing a boudoir shoot walking into this and didn't know what to expect at all. However, Michael sent emails leading up to the shoot, had me fill out a survey and really noticed and remembered what I'd filled in. I went into the shoot very uncomfortable with myself and my body and I didn't know what to expect. Michael not only has a great eye but has such good advice on what looks good and what doesn't, how to Pose, how to look in your face. I felt totally comfortable from start to finish. I did the shoot not expecting to like the photos because I "wasn't where I wanted to be" body wise. Do not let this stop you from booking!!! After seeing the photos I'm amazed. All my insecurities were out the window and I couldn't believe the person in the album was me. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth every penny? Yes.

I just love how real he is, how thorough and detail oriented his courses are, and how they can easy be implemented and followed! I'm a huge fan.

Tammy really was amazing. I have read the other reviews on this page and would second everything…read moreeveryone else said. The only reason I hesitate on giving 5 stars is the combination of the price of the prints/books combined with no access to digital versions of the photos. I understand a photographer not being willing to part with their digital photos, though if that's the case I would hope that there would be a few more budget-friendly print or book options for the patrons not interested in or capable of spending hundreds of dollars. In this modern day, I am seeing more and more "green packages" offered with photographers, where the customer pays for a digital book or cd or something along those lines. They are still paying for the photographs, but perhaps not paying the steep price that these books were. Additionally, I have made a number of books through websites (apple, flickr, etc), and while they may not be quite the same quality of the books Tammy offers, they certainly satisfied the need. Ultimately, I would just suggest that some less financially-alienating options be available for the people without a full bank account.

She specializes in plus size boudoir photos but also does every other type of beautiful picture taking as well! She knows all the perfect angles to make you look your best! She makes you feel so comfortable and makes the whole experience so enjoyable. Honestly I think every single woman should take pictures like this whether they have a man to give them to or not, just for your own self confidence. Ali did my hair and make up this last session and she was amazing. She asked me what I would like and she did exactly what I was thinking. She is so fun to talk to! Please call Tammy and get set up with a session, you will NOT regret it! :-)

I wanted it to capture my soul not my persona.... does that make sense? I wanted to do this as a goal to work towards. When I turned 40 my goal was to be in a Mrs. Fitness competition but throw in some twins and a bad back and well that goal is on hold. I felt like I've put many things on hold but this photoshoot was a reminder of who I am deep down inside and how far I've come in life. These photos were for me.

Marisa Leigh is an extraordinary photographer who is more than a visual storyteller, she has a gift…read moreof looking beyond what is visible to free that who I truly am. She created images that tell the story of me that I didn't even know existed. Through inquiry, she helped me find the "why" of starting my new journey of publishing a children's book so I can meet the challenges that will follow. Marisa chose just the right questions and interpreted my answers with clarity to allow me to see who I really am, not just who I thought the world should see. She encouraged me to take the mask off that experiences had put on me and gave me the opportunity to be who I was created to be. She is the embodiment of a quote in my story, she saw me "with eyes of love" so I could see my publishing journey the same way. Marisa did not "market" me or my book, she supported me in defining the way I choose to enter the world and change it. There is no greater success than that. In gratitude to you Marisa, you simply pointed the way.
