I often leave convinced it's not even possible to have gotten a picture of my 2 year old where she is not hiding her face or just running around like a typical toddler. My daughters love Kim, and I am always proven wrong with some of the most gorgeous pictures that I am so happy to have of my girls.

Went to JCPenney Portraits the Saturday before Easter for toddler photos. The staff and bunny were…read morevery nice, and the pictures seemed great but unfortunately, they were never saved. Instead of being honest, they had me wait around trying to "fix it," and I spent the next week getting the runaround with no clear answers. I was eventually told the photos were likely gone and nothing could be done. Mistakes happen, but the lack of transparency and communication was frustrating. I'd recommend going to a professional photo studio instead.

I did not plan ahead for newborn photos and I so appreciated that Kat was willing to take my baby being a bit older ( but still newborn).

After thoroughly looking for photographers for over a month, we're glad that we discovered Melissa…read more She was extremely responsive and made herself quickly available to connect via video chat to discuss our options. We were hoping to get photos done before our son's 1st birthday and she was able to provide us with a great date/time option. We really lucked out. On the day of our shoot we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The drive to the studio was beautiful and worth it - we drove from over 30 minutes away. The studio was immaculate and ready to go for our time together. Her prep email was extremely detail oriented and let us know exactly what to expect. Once there we could easily see the setups and there was a perfect place for us to finish getting ready. Even though we brought most of our outfits she also offered an additional one for us to use and it photographed so lovely. Lastly, the cake smash session was literally the icing on the cake. She has a wonderful referral that made the most beautiful cake for us. Our custom banner was EXACTLY what we were looking for in terms of colors and vibe. She got our son to warm up, have fun, and capture his personality. Melissa's patience, professionalism, strong communication via email/text, and warmth was much appreciated as first time parents for our first shoot. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

We couldn't be more thankful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for maternity photos!

Set in the sweetest studio in Meriden, the class taught and clarified everything I've been fumbling around with for four years on one of my photog boyfriend's Nikon SLRs. From lighting techniques to playing with ISO/aperture/shutter speed and photo composition, this class finally drew me away from the go-to camera auto settings and deeper into the previously dreaded manual setting. With the basics course as a prerequisite, Marisa also teaches a series of more advanced classes from portraits to product photography and one-on-one business mentoring. I paid $350 for 3 hours and walked away knowing more about photography technique than in the past four years of guesswork. Thank you, my sassy friend!

She even is so thoughtful and has snacks and beverages available just in case we were hungry or thirsty. Of course we were! Lol We look forward to going back to her for family photos and milestone photos of our girls growing up.
