I researched so many newborn photographers because they are all such a big investment, and I can honestly say Karen is worth every single penny. What impressed me the most was how incredible she is with newborn babies. You can immediately tell she truly knows what she's doing. She has even gone through specialized training to safely handle newborns and understand their needs, and it absolutely shows. She was so gentle, patient, calm, and confident with our baby the entire session. As a new mom, that gave me so much peace of mind. She wasn't just amazing with our baby she was amazing with me too. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time, made sure I had a private area to feed my baby whenever I needed, and created such a relaxing, welcoming environment. Her energy is unmatched! She is so upbeat, kind, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She is truly the perfect person for this job. I honestly wasn't even sure if I wanted to do newborn photos, but I am SO incredibly glad that I did. These are memories we'll cherish forever, and Karen made the entire experience so special. I will absolutely be coming back to Karen for family photos over the years. If you're on the fence, DON'T hesitate book with her. I promise you will not regret it. Out of all the photographers I looked into, she was hands down the best choice. Karen, thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our family and for capturing these precious moments so beautifully. We are beyond grateful!

She was wonderful during our session with the adults and especially the kids. She was able to make everyone feel comfortable and did a great job capturing (and coaxing ) real smiles from our grandchildren! Our pictures turned out beautifully!

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing. I would absolutely recommend Lily Dong Photography to anyone who needs quality photos, especially if you're a little camera-shy like me.

I did a headshot as well as one of her "I AM" sessions and I couldn't believe the results. Not only did I LOVE the photos (which I never do) I had a hard time selecting the ones I wanted. In addition to having images that I felt represent me beautifully, the experience was transformational. I left the session feeling more confident and empowered. If you are looking for someone to capture the REAL you, hire Lily. Like me, you will be so grateful that you did!

I trusted his vision from the start - I met Joseph through corporate lifestyle product shoots I was a part of with Oru Kayak. When my partner and I got engaged, I knew he was the person for the big day. He catches the magic light, never misses a sweet moment and has a cinematic way to capture the feeling. He and his team are organized, calm and flexible - so you can get through all of the group shots quickly. He's especially great with little kids. We would definitely recommend him!

Great communication every step of the way - from booking to day of, and with delivery of photos. Joseph was very thoughtful in recommending photoshoot locations, and also accommodating when I had to reschedule because of last-minute travel. The session itself was even more fun than the first time! Working with Joseph is like hanging out with a friend. He's so easygoing and we had a blast with him! Even in a location you've been to before, Joseph can find hidden spots for photos. We're planning to make family photoshoots with Joseph a tradition and have also recommended FATE Factory to several of our friends.

We had an excellent experience with Jenny Dee Photography. Jenny and George (Jenny's husband and…read moreassistant photographer) were communicative and helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding reception. Their template for our "desired and must-get" photos list was very helpful for organizing, and our phone conversations with them were great for figuring out what we wanted and hammering out logistics. On the day of the wedding, we had morning activities and an evening reception. Jenny and George were on time and enthusiastic for everything. They were flexible as our schedule shifted slightly throughout the day, and they were very active in making sure we got all the photos from our list. Now that we have the final photos, we can also say that we are thrilled with the results. Great candids, great staged photos, and we really like the editing style. Overall: would highly recommend for your wedding or event.

Jenny and Geo (her husband and assistant photographer) are very responsive, professional, and committed to providing you all the shots you want. My husband and I hired JennyDee Photography for both our Engagement and Wedding photography and we could not be more pleased. We had multiple calls in the months leading up to the wedding to align on what we wanted, discussed the overall wedding timeline, and provided the list of shots we wanted. Their website also has example timelines for photography, which were very helpful as we planned our day and allowed us to not compress everything too much. Working with Jenny and Geo is also a great experience. They are organized, funny, kind, and encouraging -- they will help pose you as needed, but generally allow for a very genuine capture of the day. They are also very organized and will help keep things moving efficiently without being overbearing -- I could trust that they would get all the shots we needed without feeling like I needed to check in, and both posed and candid shots were phenomenal. Finally, all the photographs we received from JennyDee Photography (in less than a month!) are joy and whimsy personified. They managed to capture the color, vibrancy, and happiness of that day in the photographs -- I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I reviewed the gallery. The photography and editing style is so vibrant, genuine and fun in a sea of very muted photography nowadays-- I will lovingly look at the pictures for years to come. I could not recommend them more highly. Photo Credits: @JennyDeePhotography
