I purchased a Groupon for a portrait session with Tania Stafford Photography. Setting up the…read moreappointment was easy, just took a quick email and we were all set. The photos were of myself, my husband and my dog; some all together and some of the dog and then just us. I just got the photos back, very week turn around time (less than 5 days) and they are lovely, however my one complaint is that Tania gave no direction on posing which for some people that might not be a bad thing. However, I was looking for her to use her photo expertise and pose us in interesting, cute, exciting poses but that didn't happen. It was more less us walking through a very beautiful wooded area and just stopping to stand, sit or whatever. I guess I would have like to know her style before going so I could have been prepared for some poses. Or maybe she was just having an off day and didn't want to work hard, I don't know. Looking back, maybe I should have been more straightforward and asked if she would recommend some poses and/or pose us. Moral of the story, communication!

Even though we live far apart, we always seem to make it work when it comes to taking pictures. I never have any stress or anxiety thinking about our session with Kelly, and we are very excited to work with her every single time. The pictures always, always come out perfect, and they are memories that we are will treasure forever. Her style is so light and airy, and her ability to capture candid photos is just perfection; those always turn out to be the best shots! She is always able to keep a smile on our kids faces during their sessions, and they always enjoy seeing her because it's always such a fun time for them. We also have tons of beautiful, professional prints from all of our sessions that make for beautiful artwork in our home; That is one of the things that I love about her new life collection! The newest addition to our collection is a beautiful photo book that contains pictures from each session of the new life collection with our second son. It came beautifully boxed and tied with a ribbon, and the book itself has a fabric cover, and the pages are super thick and sturdy. It is definitely made to stand the test of time. It's probably our favorite piece of artwork from Kelly that we've gotten so far, And I can't wait to pass it down to my children one day. Thank you Kelly for all of the wonderful memories!

Her magic is in her kind, warm, bubbly personality...it makes you feel like you can truly be yourself, which can be tricky when someone is staring at you with a camera. Carrie truly loves what she does when she's behind the camera, so it makes the time you spend with her fun. Her energy and warmth are infectious! Carrie captured the most precious moments for my husband and I for our engagement photos, she also took our wedding photos at the Seattle courthouse last spring which turned out beautifully, and this fall she will be taking our wedding reception photos in my home town, and I can't wait. My husband and I have done the whole engagement-wedding thing in a very non-traditional way, so hiring Carrie was the perfect choice because she won't give you cookie cutter pictures. Carrie is imaginative, playful, and spirited...her images reflect her creative flair. Our pictures were romantic yet very personal, she captured the best moments! I think it's safe to say, we love Carrie! And all of our most special moments have a theme that is unique to Carrie's eye.

She is bar none the best photographer we've worked with! We've now had several sessions with her, and I can't truly express in words how much we appreciate the work she's done in capturing these events/moments for us. For example, we booked a newborn session with her, however after giving birth to my son and having a difficult postpartum experience, I was not exactly in a place where I felt awesome about myself, and definitely did not feel up to being in front of a camera! I really only wanted pictures of our newborn son and some with my husband and son. She gently convinced me otherwise, and I have to say I'm so SO happy she did. I was amazed that although I didn't feel particularly stunning or camera ready, she captured beautifully simple and authentic interactions between a mother and her newborn son. It didn't matter how I looked/felt, the pictures turned out beautifully and those happen to be my most treasured of us. She is a mother of two herself, so she was so very patient with working with our little one! She takes pride in her work, and it shows in the final product. You will be elated!

I have looked at over 15 photographers in the Brooklyn area and they will advertise $175-350 for the session, and then still charge $100 on top for the CD, plus 10-12 dollars or more for each print. None of these photographers had any impressive credentials, and most didn't even have their own studio. Neil was super prompt to answer my messages I wrote to him through the company Facebook page. I had tons of ridiculous questions he was happy to answer. I was truly the client from hell, and even arrived late to my appointment, and Neil was still super friendly, calm and accommodating. My little son is 9 months old and very weary of strangers and their homes, but Neil had him engaged and laughing. We have wonderful pictures. Even my husband admitted it was a great idea to have a portrait session and he loved the results. We had our session the night before thanksgiving, and the prints were ready the following Monday. Had it not been for the Holiday they probably would have been ready even sooner believe it or not. Neil even offered to hand deliver to CD to us! You will get the most bang for your buck with Neil. He is just as, if not more professional than anyone I've had a consultation with.
