Peaks+Waves Portraits was the best photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I…read morebooked her for an engagement session on Shenandoah National Park in October 2021. She was incredibly friendly and responded quickly over email. During the session, she was great about making us feel comfortable, and she captured some wonderful candid moments. I loved that she didn't make every shot feel posed. She gave us a little guidance on how to situate ourselves for the shot, but then allowed us to interact with each other as we naturally would. The wait time for final photos was so short, and we loved how quickly we got to see the great work she did! These photos will last a lifetime. I'm so glad we chose Peaks+Waves Portraits to capture this special time in our lives.

My husband, family, and friends are so impressed! Caroline did an outstanding job shooting…read moreengagement and wedding photos for us in 2018. Everyone who sees our photos are blown away. There are quite a few qualities that make Caroline stand out from other photographers: 1. She is not afraid to work hard for the right shot. Wedding guests still make comments about the crazy positions she managed to get in to take the perfect pictures! She's not afraid to get her hands dirty, so to speak, and that's an important quality in a photographer who is taking pictures that you will look at for a lifetime. 2. She is flexible and willing to meet with you before your event. Caroline and I met for coffee months before she took our engagement photos. Her personality is the perfect combination of warm, animated, and creative, which shines through her gorgeous pictures! 3. Transparency and responsiveness. She is straightforward and honest about what to expect from her, and is always an email, phone call, or text away. 4. Caroline is reliable. I repeat: she is reliable. I never had any doubts that she would show up to our wedding. I can't stress how important that is. 5. No stiff or awkward photos for this photographer! Caroline engages with her clients and their guests, allowing them to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She knows how to make people laugh and goes the extra mile to capture the true personalities of those she's photographing. We can't say enough good things about Caroline. She comes highly recommended for a reason!

I'm so glad I found Donnie to do my wedding photos. I wanted a classy elegant wedding on a budget…read more When I was researching photographers, they were all above what I wanted to pay. Any photographers that I found that were reasonably priced had awful pictures on their website, or no pictures at all. When I came across Donnie's website I thought it had to be to good to be true. His prices were very affordable, and the pictures were beautiful. After our consultation I immediately booked him for my wedding. During the wedding he was extremely professional, took all the shots I wanted, and he even stayed a little pass his time to get pictures of the cake cutting at no additional charge. I would highly recommend Donnie to anyone getting married. He is an excellent photographer and his prices can't be beat.

Family photos , senior pictures , headshots , she can do them all and very well at that! Go with her you won't be disappointed! From the second our family walked through her studio door for our photo shoot , we felt welcomed and comfortable. She communicated well to us and had a delious batch of chocolate chip cookies and ice water waiting. (for the extremely warm newborn room) Her booklet for us to browse through was sitting there too. Very professional , yet warm and inviting. She got our baby boy ready and kept him comfortable as he dozed. She captured some really amazing shots of our little , yet 9lb baby. She suggested poses for all of us , yet I felt comfortable requesting my own thoughts to get her opinion on. She knew her lighting , what would work and turn out well , before putting her eye on the camera. Being a post partum mom , swollen and tired (and showing it too!!) she captured angles that were flattering for me, which I appreciated greatly. Overall, I was very happy with how each picture turned out, precious. We also did our family photo shoot (with Baby reveal to other kids) and maternity shoot. Despite dealing with multiple people , outfit changes, kids attitudes, etc she handled us very well! She was open to my ideas and willing to give hers. She paid attention to detail. Correcting hair, dresses , shoulder placement if anything was not to her standard. I appreciate this as well! I was thrilled with the beginning to end results in all three of our shoots with Jenny. Truly a blessing to have such a gift, as she does.

He had natural ease about him that put us equally at ease. He directed our movements with patience. He took us to many unique locations I would not have considered as an ideal photo spot, but every single one was incredible. My pictures came back incredibly fast. No matter what the occasion, next time I want professional pictures, I am absolutely calling on Eric again.

I had an idea that I wanted to come to life and he delivered just that! He helped me find a location to do my photoshoot. We were battling potential heavy rains, harsh light and high humidity on this day but he was extremely flexible with the environment and schedules. He delivers great quality photos unique to each person/ session. His turnaround time is great as well. So glad I found him as I am looking forward to including Eric and his work in more of my life's milestones.

My husband and I hired Brad as our photographer for our wedding in March 2019. From the very…read morebeginning it was clear that Brad understood and could articulate our vision better than we could. The conversation was always easy and felt like we were building our vision together - very organic. He was extremely personable and professional throughout the entire process. He added an element of fun to an otherwise stressful activity. Brad also went above and beyond in our engagement photoshoot. Being a gay couple our proposal was unorthodox. My husband had proposed about a year earlier but I wanted to propose to him as well. I told Brad that I wanted to use the engagement photoshoot to surprise my husband with my proposal. Not only was he onboard to take the action shots, but he was just as excited as I was and helped me pull it off without a hitch. He even came up with the code word we would use right before I took a knee! The photos from this shoot blew us away and shattered our expectations. Following the engagement shoot we had full confidence that he was going to get amazing shots, both staged and candid, throughout our wedding. He did not disappoint! Brad is a true artist. He got shots we would have never thought to take in locations we would have never thought to take them. He took one silhouette photo that is so well composed that it would be better to call it a work of art than a wedding photograph. Brad's talents go beyond photography. He even took control to help coordinate the event. He ensured we were where we needed to be when we needed to be there. He wrangled family members and friends to make sure there were where they needed to be so we would get the photos we wanted. There aren't enough words to say how much we enjoyed working with Brad, how impressed we were by him every step of the way, and how much we would recommend him to anyone. You would be a FOOL not to hire Brad.

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!
