We first engaged Tina to take headshots that our daughter needed for school applications. Despite a VERY short turnaround time, Tina was able to bring her into the studio and get the perfect shot. Tina talked to her about what she was looking for, got her comfortable with being photographed, and -- literally the same day -- produced several dozen proofs for us to review and select from. The end result was a series of absolutely dazzling photos that were exactly what my daughter needed (and came at an extremely reasonable price). Thank you again, Tina for so quickly producing such spectacular results!

When booking my wedding photographer, I talked to a few different photographers and within the…read morefirst two minutes of talking to Pamela, I knew she was the one. She took the time to ask what I wanted and really wanted to know what I wanted to get from my photos. She asked about my details and what style I wanted. She was extremely sweet and from that phone conversation alone I could tell she had a true passion for wedding photography. Pamela wasn't just my wedding photographer, she was a friend. I booked her about a year in advance and she checked in periodically throughout that year. We had several interactions leading up to the day (phone, email, in person) where she spent time helping me plan the ends and odds of my wedding, she even helped me come up with my wedding timeline. She also visited my venue to brainstorm ideas before the big day and even sent me an itinerary. She really thinks of everything! On my wedding day, Pamela & her assistant Sergey (I hope the spelling is right) were phenomenal. They got a ton of great pictures and came up with a lot of amazing ideas for photos. They both are extremely detail oriented. They made sure my train was perfect at all times, that Matt's tie was straight, you name it, they saw it. At the end of the night, they even offered to stay later to get additional photos. I am extremely grateful for those two. I then received my wedding photos within 2 weeks, not just your standard preview or sneak peak but ALL of them and on top of that they look AMAZING. Thank you Pamela! I can't wait to get another excuse to use you in the future!

We went with Pamela because she was consistently rated the #1 wedding photographer in the DC area…read moreby weddingwire, theknot, etc and because she was referred to us by a friend. We are so glad that we did! The pictures came out amazing and we hardly knew she was there. I would have paid twice as much for the album and digitals that we ordered. Pamela is very professional and will make sure you get every picture that you want. She also captured hundreds of other amazing artistic shots that I would have never dreamed of. Bottomline- if you are having a wedding in the DC area, or want photos for another occassion or corporate event, go with Pamela!

I would not recommend trusting Laura to be your wedding day photographer. She is a pleasant person…read moreand her work in a controlled, one-on-one environment such as an engagement shoot is good. On our wedding day, I was disappointed beyond words with Laura. I will start with the fact that she LOST more than an hour of photos. This included pictures of my husband going table to table during the reception taking individual pictures with our guests, our cake cutting, and our sparkler exit. How she compensated for losing our wedding photos... Six weeks to the day Laura delivered the photos as stated in the contract. At this time she was forthcoming about the loss of photos and offered an offensively low refund. Which I explained to her that we could not accept this for the following reasons--we spent more time taking pictures with our guests, going table to table, than enjoying the latter part our reception because we had many guests travel from distant places. And we wanted to send those pictures to them with thank you notes. The cake photos, sparklers exit, and group photos outside the venue are disappointing to be lost but all those photos of us and numerous guests at the reception was an irreplaceable loss. Her final offer was to refund 9.89% of our invoiced amount, not good enough. My other huge gripe with her wedding day performance was she had no command or direction over the photos with large parties at all. I would suggest that you would need to have a wedding planner to work with her because she is unable to take charge and work towards achieving the photos you list as the "must-have" shots. Laura excels in outdoor photos with natural light and no need for a flash, which look natural, and candids. On the final photos that were delivered, many of our indoor photos had no consistency in hues, warmth, and brightness. I was washed out in many of the "directed" indoor photos at our church, because of the flash. We brought this to her attention and she was very responsive in being willing to do the edits, but the edits were horrific, thoughtless, unusable changes.

There are many photographers to choose from in the DMV but the Team here is top-notch. We had a long list of VIPs that needed posed photos and Laura organized and produced beautiful photos of them all. Laura is very kind, professional and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are well taken care of... even down to providing flexibility in the scheduling the headshot marathon. Her calm demeanor and sweet spirit made it a stress-free and positive experience for everyone especially those who did not enjoy being photographed.

To judge Jennifer based solely on the pictures we received and how she did at my daughter's bat…read moremitzvah, she may have earned 5 stars. But, outside of the day of the event, this was a miserable experience. A couple of months prior to the event, I began to email Jennifer to arrange the separate portrait session. She never replied to an email, and finally answered her phone, stating that the emails must have gone to her spam folder (even though we'd communicated primarily through email as we were going through the contracting process). She arrived half an hour late to the portrait session, for which we only had one hour since it was the day of the event. Our contract stated that we'd have the pictures 4-6 weeks after the event. We hadn't heard from her at all at 6 weeks, so began emailing, calling, and texting, and got no response at all. Finally, on February 3 (more than 3 months after the event), she texted back that she was "almost done." We didn't hear back again until March. At that point, we were told that some of the files were "corrupted" and she was sending them to a lab to see if they could be recovered. What she had was finally posted in mid-March. After another couple of months of desperately trying to get Jennifer to respond to inquiries about the status of the corrupted files, she finally replied that she had "good news" on May 5 and the recovered pictures would be posted that weekend. It wasn't until June 12 that she finally posted the pictures. There were only a few, though, and they were not of the people and parts of the event that she knew we were hoping for. By way of apology, all we ever received was a $200 credit towards prints and a promise to connect us with someone who does albums so that we could buy an album at cost. (We never got an actual apology for anything, just excuses.) Of course, she never did connect us with the album person. But now, 10 months after the event and with prints and files in hand, we are simply glad to be done with the whole thing.

After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!
