Since I'm pregnant, she knew exactly which props and angles would work best for me, and her guidance was so reassuring. Her studio is spotless and fully equipped with top-of-the-line props--it truly felt like a home away from home. My final photos were delivered sooner than expected, and the quality exceeded my expectations. Jenni is a true professional, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Looked at so many different photographers for our first child's first birthday smash. The prices…read moreyou will find are very scattered but you get what you pay for. We chose Jenni based off many things which included her pic examples online, reviews, professionalism and the look we were going for. She did not disappoint. She has a dedicated studio with multiple rooms set up and wardrobes that really set her apart from the average photographer. She also goes over and beyond to ensure a successful shoot. Hands down hire her. You will not regret it (pics came from fb post on her page)

To begin, I want to recognize the positives. The studio setup was impressive, modern,…read morewell-organized, and clearly designed to make students feel confident and special. The added services like professional hair and makeup, as well as the option for both in-studio and off-site destination shoots, are definite strengths of their offerings in higher package options. The overall production quality was excellent, and the photographers were professional and engaging. That said, I ultimately chose not to purchase additional photos from CADY because I feel their pricing is excessive and not family friendly. It was disappointing to learn that the video reel put together for parents and highlight during their sales presentation can't be purchased on its own, its only available if you commit to an expensive photo package. This lack of flexibility in pricing feels more like a high pressure sales strategy than a service built around the needs of families. What concerns me most is how heavily CADY's model plays on the emotions of parents. By marketing their services around once in a lifetime milestones like graduations and then offering payment plans, they create an environment that encourages overspending. In many cases, this may exploit lower-income families who feel compelled to make financial sacrifices just to preserve memories of their child. I believe memories should be affordable and accessible to all families, not treated as luxury purchases. While the quality of CADY's work is strong, the business approach was more focused on maximizing revenue than supporting families during meaningful moments. Because of this, I truly encourage our school district and others to consider more affordable and transparent photography options in the future. They wait until you spend a day getting photos taken, scene after scene to spring the high cost of the photos on you. I hope CADY Studios reflect on this feedback and consider adjusting their pricing structure to be more inclusive in the future. The cost doesn't have to be as high if the volume of the pictures you sale in return increases. Making getting a child's once in a lifetime pictures taken professionally a more affordable option to all parents, not just some.

Karah took our timeless portion and we are so pleased…read more Thanks Cady!! Nothing like a reschedule and retake! Recommendation: bring inspiration examples for your scenes and share with the photographer. You have an expectation - don't make them guess what you want. You will get what they give and wonder "what happened...these don't look like the same experience..?" Save yourself time. Be prepared!

It's not the photographer, we are just gorgeous people.... not, lololol. Jamie was absolutely…read moreamazing. He did our engagement shoot as well as our ALL DAY WEDDING. He never lost momentum, stayed energetic throughout the entire event. He's very creative. Through our multiple photoshoots, I felt that he likes more natural pictures. He will occasionally tell you how to pose if you get stuck, but he likes the organic energy to flow between the couples, and captures the mood/vibe of that moment. I will say, he is a very punctual and type A. He likes to stay organized and on schedule. At times I felt rushed, but I can't blame him for wanting to do an excellent job. I guess if he didn't stick to the schedule, we wouldn't have gotten some of the great pictures that we have. He is very quick to respond and answers all questions. I have researched quite a few photographers when wedding planning, and I feel like his prices are mid range. Overall, I would definitely recommend him for your upcoming events. He's quite a busy man, so if you have any events in the near future, would reach out quickly. You can see a lot more of his work on Instagram if curious. Enjoy!!

Jamie captured our wedding day exceptionally. He is a professional through and through and we were…read moregrateful to have his calm presence as we moved through wedding activities. Jamie has had the challenge of photographing not only my wedding, but also both my older brother's weddings in 2014 and 2018. We are all really different people with varying expectations and Jamie has more than delivered for all of us! We joke that he is now stuck with being the family photographer. Jamie's photography style is striking and captures so much. Couldn't imagine anyone else being in charge of capturing the day for us! He is versatile, knowledgeable and excellent to work with. He was accommodating of specific photo requests, and knew when something wouldn't look right or could be improved. He moved through post-ceremony family portraits quickly and with ease which was a huge blessing given we were on a tight schedule. I highly recommend utilizing Jamie Howell Photography for you wedding/engagement/family portraits/events - any photography needs! We will cherish our pictures forever. Edit- I forgot to mention that Jamie encouraged us into having a "first look." We weren't planning to originally and I'm so glad he changed our minds! The pictures are INCREDIBLE but the quiet, intimate moments before the ceremony were even better.

She is beyond professional, extremely talented, and just overall a wonderful person. Our family and wedding pictures turned out perfect - I can barely even believe it's us! What I liked most about her is that she caught all those 'moments' - those moments you forget or don't even know are happening - so beautifully. She was also able to somehow blend into the crowd so it did not feel like you were having pictures taken of you the entire evening. We have a great combination of posed (not cheesy) photos and candids that we'll cherish forever. I would recommend her and her team to anyone in the world. Thank you so much Leslie!

Working with Melissa and her team was an absolute dream. From the very beginning, they made me feel…read morecomfortable and at ease throughout the entire experience. Melissa took the time to ask thoughtful questions and truly get to know me, which helped us create a vision that we both loved. Her artistic eye and creativity are phenomenal, and the final results exceeded my expectations. The entire process was so much fun, and it was a pleasure to have Melissa as my photographer. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and professional photographer.

Melissa is simply great! She not only switched around her schedule to accommodate me, she also checked in with me while I was in the hospital to make sure we were still on track with the picture time( newborn pics are usually taken within 2 weeks of the baby's birth). On the creative end she listened to my ideas and did her hardest to recreate my vision. I wanted lots of colors and a picture created with Diwali(festival of lights) theme in mind. Melissa did not the necessary research and even went to purchase several items to make things happen perfectly. During the day of the shoot she as quick,efficient and truly a baby whisperer. My baby slept through the entire shoot! Her studio is also perfect with the temperature adjust for the baby's comfort. She has diapers, breast pump, baby wipes, hand sanitizers, in short all essentials needed for new moms and babies. She also has a nook for snacks for the parents and outfit options for moms to wear at the shoot. I also got my pictures within 2 weeks which was amazing. Additionally, even after getting the pictures I was not happy with one particular picture and Melissa did her damnest to make it better including offering to retake the pic. Overall: I loved working with Melissa and will definitely keep going back to her for more professional pictures.
