I was looking to get a headshot done quickly for a new job. I found Evelyn Images and sent a…read morerequest. Gerry Evelyn responded immediately via email. I told him what I needed and he agreed to first thing the next morning. The shoot took under an hour (very Covid safe too) including selection and editing. I am very happy with the quality and speed of his work and it turns out he is nice person too! I learned that he also does commercial photography and he showed me some pretty cool things he was working on. Go see Gerry for all your photo needs.

Marina took beautiful pictures of my family and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I…read morefirst contacted Marina via Yelp to request a quote. She responded very quickly and was able to book soon, which is what we were hoping for. In getting ready for the photo shoot, I messaged back and forth with her about what we should wear, to include sending pictures of our outfits. She gave good feedback and recommendations. I was nervous about making sure we looked good together, but not matching TOO well and looking cheesy. I felt really good about the outfit decisions after working with her, which made me confident in the shoot. We booked an hour long shoot and decided to start in our home and then transition outside. Now my family consists of my husband and me, plus our dog and two cats. Though our pets were not the most cooperative during the shoot, Marina was very patient and happy to work with us to get decent photos with all the pets (yep, even the cats). We ended up spending about 45 min in our home and then drove to a nearby park to take photos outside. Marina found a great spot to start and after taking several shots there, we walked around and went to a spot my husband and I frequented. We spent about 45 min there too, so the total time we had with her was about 1.5 hrs. She did not even mention the extra time and before we were done, wanted to make very sure there weren't any other locations or shots we wanted. We really appreciate the fact that she cared and wanted to make sure we were satisfied. The pictures turned out beautifully. We are very happy with the final product and even the unedited photos are worth printing!

Laura Shachmut is an incredible photographer. She puts so much talent, energy, creativity, and…read moreintelligence into her shoots, the props she brings, the ideas she has. She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

Laura takes absolutely gorgeous photos - she came to our home for a combined newborn and family…read morephoto shoot, and captured our older children's personalities so perfectly, and got the most beautiful photos of our newborn as well. We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!

Kate recently did a One Year Cake Smash photoshoot for our daughter. I wasn't sure how our baby…read morewould do, as she is in a "busy" phase. But, Kate made it so fun. She was kind and patient with our baby and the hour flew by! Our baby had a great time! We originally hired Kate to do our newborn photos last year (April 2020), and unbeknownst to us...or anyone, they ended up being canceled because of the pandemic. It was a really hard time for us to be in a pandemic, with a newborn, as new parents, while isolated. Missing out on our newborn photos was a small but nonetheless heartbreaking loss for me. Kate was so graceful and kind, she offered alternatives and came to shoot us (from afar) outside at our home...those photos will be forever memorable. It's clear she loves her work, but its also clear she is a compassionate and caring human. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kate.

Kate has taken photos of our family for the past 4 years now and she and her team have the magical…read moretouch of capturing both of our kids smiling in the same photo. Whether it's in the studio or an outdoor session, we have loved every session we have done with Kate and the results are worth every penny. She's always responsive and so easy to work with. Will happily recommend her for anyone looking for either newborn or family photos.

I generally don't like having photos taken and I was also apprehensive about having my hair and make-up done - I was nervous that I would look nothing like myself. As it turned out, I had absolutely nothing to be worried about - Rick has the uncanny ability to make you feel 100% comfortable and at ease the second you walk in the door. He has a great eye for bringing out the best in a subject and making sure you are truly happy with the results. He clearly knows his craft exceptionally well and is great at what he does. He provides just the right amount of direction to get you looking at your best - he also has a great sense of humor (and great music taste!) that made for a great headshot experience. Thanks so much, Rick!

Kari knew exactly what my requirements were and she took very professional photos. She has an office up front and a nice cozy studio setup at the back. She's a very talented photographer and I'm tempted to go back for some professional headshots soon. On a personal note, she's a lovely person, full of energy and it was fun chatting with her. She only takes cash or cheques so be prepared ( but there are plenty of ATMs around so that shouldn't be a problem). Definitely recommend! Support local Waltham businesses and go to Albert's studio.

The 2 newborn sessions couldn't have gone more differently if they tried and both times, Ann was great and the photos turned out beautiful. I trust her wholeheartedly with my newborns as she swaddles them and puts them in various positions. The 1 year cake smash session was so fun and Ann made everything so easy. She accommodated my color requests and decorated beautifully. I'm looking forward to the next cake smash session and I'm hoping to get Christmas pictures sometime in the next couple of years, too. The sessions are expensive but generally on par with photographers in the area. I don't mind paying for quality, though, and Ann is truly wonderful.

But because of the holidays (even though I contacted them months in advance) couldn't take me in right away until after the new year and by then, they aren't a newborn. My friend referred me to Ann Lyle and I am SOOO GLAD SHE DID. Despite being so close to Christmas, I contacted her anyway just to see and once she told me she had availability, I took it! She has a quick response time and pictures may take up to two weeks. She was able to get it to us sooner. The experience was awesome. She has a new studio in Framingham. There is plenty of parking spaces. The suite is on the L floor. The studio is so pretty! There are so many lovely props and backgrounds and it is so comfortable to not have to worry about anything. Ann is super down to earth and very relatable. From my experience of having many professional photographers from my engagement to wedding to family and to another newborn, Ann is the best! Her photos are so amazing and she made my newborn look like a beautiful princess. You will not regret it! She also offers a mini session which was perfect for us because all we needed were a few great pictures for our wall.
