    Highly recommend, hands down! From the start we were made to feel Welcome and comfortable. Communicated with what we wanted or what we were looking for, outfits, ideas etc. Then from there the magic happened! Brooke, had every color, fabric texture, basket type, you name it. She created perfect sets and coordinating colors in a matter of seconds! She was kind and patient with us and our baby the whole time. There is no photo she sent me that I did not love. Every single one was a winner in my book. I cannot wait to go back for the big ONE shoot! Thank you, Gabi

    Absolutely loved my photoshoot with Brooke!! She knew all the great spots in the park to shoot at and had a great vision for all her shots. I was blown away when I saw the photos and how magical they all were!! She is very kind and professional too to work with. I am so very grateful for this special moment captured in her work. Thank you, Brooke!!

    My absolute favorite picture!

    This woman is amazing! This was my second year with her doing our family photos. I thought last year was great, but this year she out did herself. She's creative. She's open to ideas. Very convenient. Very easy to work with. And best of all, her work is amazing. I am very happy with my family photos!

    I cannot be more please and thrilled about having newborn pictures be taken here with Brooke. From start to finish she was professional, patient, reasonable on price, tentative, communicated well and well her pictures were amazing. Her studio is at her home but which made it a comfy setting and when you walk in she had a sign that welcome my LO. Super sweet! No need to bring props as she has it all for newborns. Many options to choose from headband, decor, clothes baskets, fluff you name it. Session took about 2-3 hours and there was plenty of time for feeding and ssshing your LO to sleep for that perfect pose. Brooke does an amazing job handling your newborn while taking pictures. Keeping them cozy and warm and whatever it takes to clam them. You can call her the baby whisper for pictures. Also if you are worried about COVID she wears a mask and told me that she washes all of her stuff and only books one session a day. Trust me on this it's well worth it! Looking forward to working with her again!

    AMAZING!! Undeniably the best family pictures we've ever had. Easy to work with. Understanding. Flexible. Kind. Everything you could ask for in a photographer, Brooke not only had, she EXCEEDED our wants, needs and expectations!!! I was referred to Brooke from another photographer that came highly recommended! We were planning family pictures while all of the out of town family, was together. I had worked with Brooke for a few months, planning this as a surprise for my grandparents! She helped us choose the location, gave recommendations on outfit coordination colors, what to expect, the time of day that would be best based on lighting, etc! Every recommendation she gave, I loved! The day came and we had 11 of us! It was a beautiful sunny day, the location was shaded some which was great for the pictures! We had 3 kids under the age of 10, and the rest adults, she was AMAZING with the kids! She had some props helping to make them laugh and the pictures turned out amazing! She had us walking towards her all holding hands, laughing and at first we weren't sure how it would turn out.. ended up being the picture my grandparents framed in their living room. Brooke was amazing from start to finish and I truly can't say it enough! I would highly highly highly recommend looking no further and calling her!!! It's worth your time and she is worth every penny! She was competitively priced, which we were also happy about!

    I had the most WONDERFUL experience with Brooke! She responded quickly to all of my messages and she was AMAZING with my baby! She made me feel super comfortable and had a ton of adorable props to choose from. The pictures came out fantastic! I could not be happier!

    See all

    I searched high and low for someone who could take heirloom portraits for my little one. I…read morecontacted 3 photographers and Cristal was the only one that contacted me immediately through text. Heirloom portraits are more of a southern thing so I sent her inspiration pictures for reference. She said she could do it so I ended up booking her for a session. She had tons of props and outfits to choose from. We decided to go the simpler route and opted for no props with a simple white background. The session ended up being 15 minutes (she said she got THE shot). After about a week, Cristal sent me a soft proof gallery with about 75 photos to choose from. I picked my 12 and texted her feedback on the ones I wanted more/less cropped. She also nailed the vignette on the heirloom portraits; it was exactly what I was looking for! She sent me a second gallery with my 12 picks, also including them in B&W and different editing styles (34 total). Cristal had great communication, and will go above and beyond to make sure you love your pictures! I would highly recommend her if you live in the IE area. One tiny note, 4 photos have a faint line at the top. It looks like the editing filter wasn't taken all the way up. With that being said, not the end of the world and would gladly book her again.

Summer is kind, patient, professional, and extremely talented. From the minute I submitted an inquiry to the very last step of selecting the desired photos, she was helpful and organized. The photos themselves are absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to receive them. She made the entire shoot so fun and comfortable. It can always be nerve wracking especially if this is not something you're used to but I genuinely always felt relaxed with her. I'm eager to book other shoots with her in the future. Thank you Summer. You made me feel so beautiful. These are truly the best photos anyone has ever taken of me.

    I honestly feel so disappointed after my experience today. Summer was very inconsiderate, rude to…read moreme and honestly very cash grabbing. I will explain. As a first-time mom, I was really excited to get my 11-month-old baby's first Easter photos taken, she advertised on Instagram that her photos would be a better alternative to mall photos. More thoughtful, higher quality, and a better overall experience for a similar price. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. When we arrived, I was holding my son and trying to ease him into the situation so he would feel comfortable sitting with the Easter Bunny. Without warning, Summer suddenly grabbed him out of my arms and said, "Here, let me just grab him," and immediately placed him on the bunny's lap. This clearly startled him, and he began crying. While I understand that some children may be scared in situations like this, abruptly taking him from me made it much worse. I believe children should be given time to warm up, especially at this age. She then quickly took only two photos while he was crying and said, "Okay, that's it. No more. He's just going to keep crying." The session was essentially over within 20 seconds, and I was left feeling uncomfortable, rushed and dismissed. I paid $45 for this, and the entire experience felt very unprofessional and transactional. As a parent, you want someone who respects boundaries, especially not grabbing your child without permission!! and who actually cares about creating a meaningful experience for a milestone like a first holiday photo. We drove 45 minutes for this session, and it was incredibly disappointing. I would not recommend booking, especially for walk-in photo sessions. Parents deserve a more patient, respectful, and thoughtful approach especially when it comes to their children. I only wish I had told her I wasn't going to pay for the horrible service. Unfortunately, I do respect a business owners time. Even though she did not put in any time or effort and it is not like there was a need to rush it too. There was no one in the lobby waiting after us.

    Found Pose Palace on TikTok and decided to check it out for a family photoshoot with our…read morenewborn--and I'm so glad we did! We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and ended up with so many great family photos. definitely considering coming back for another shoot

The parking lot is consistently busy, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: The studio is located inside the AR Gallery. Once you enter the AR Gallery, you'll see the studio on your right. They have an extremely small space with two rooms. One room features white walls, and the other room features colored backgrounds. There's many props from headbands and hats to chairs and stools and more! Some props can use a cleaning, but you can't really see it in the photos. Service: I decided to do a walk-in, so I didn't book an appointment or prepay online. They only take walk-ins starting at 11:30. They're not busy on weekdays but busier during the weekends. I completely forgot his name, but the worker that checked me in was nice, efficient, and knowledgable about the offerings. They provide a large screen with gridlines, lighting, and a small remote. They'll give you a timer, so you'll know exactly how much time you have left during your session. Studio Session & Photos: I chose the 5 minute session with the colored background. You'd choose two colors out of five options. Since I chose the colored walls, let the worker know when you're ready to switch colors. They'll pause the timer, switch the background, and continue the timer. The small remote is easy to hide in the photos. The lighting is perfect, and the photos came out amazing! Pricing: All details and prices are on their website. It's easy to book an appointment online. Since my birthday was three days away, the worker gave me a 10% discount. They also offer other discounts. All details are listed on their website. Highly recommend this studio!
