Our…read moreengagement pictures were truly amazing, and Shannon even made us a great post card for our save the dates! Harthen Studios really captured our personalities! I can't even begin to tell you all the compliments we got on the pictures!! While we had SOME posed pictures, most of them were "in the moment" - this was important for us because my husband isn't a great "posed picture" kinda guy....and you would have NEVER known otherwise when we got them back. ...and the WEDDING! I can't even begin to tell you how amazing those pictures turned out! (not to mention knowing there was NOTHING to worry about the day of!!) I felt completely at ease knowing how those were going to turn out (I am sure you have heard horror stories from other brides about how the pictures weren't what they had hoped/expected/wanted). I learned about Harthen Studios 3 years ago...they shot my best friends wedding (I LOVED the work!)....and while this sounds completely cliche, I met my husband at that wedding...then when it came time to chose my photographer, there was no question. I would recommend this photographer in a heartbeat, and I know I will use them in the future for family pictures!

Photography by Trudi Lynn has been one of the best experiences ever! The nurturing spirit she had…read morewhile handling my daughter's newborn son was amazing. She was welcoming, caring and very open to our ideas and any concerns we may have had during our session. Not only did Trudi move quickly, she was very professional and patient.

We have had the great pleasure of working with Marla two times for family portraits and I cannot…read moresay enough great things about her and her artwork. My oldest child is 16 and I dragged her to every portrait studio under the sun and was always disappointed with the photos: they looked like school pictures each and every time. Then we met Marla through one of her children. We met her at a park for photos of our three children and I have never witnessed someone so at ease with her clients, surroundings, and camera. When we met her in her studio to review the photos she had taken, we had such a hard time choosing which pictures to order: they were all beautiful and captured our children's personalities perfectly. We ordered more photos than we expected going in, but it was just so difficult to decide. She is always so gracious with sending us a few extra prints too, which says something about her customer service. I get the feeling that she looks at all of her clients as family members and gives her best every time. We had her take photos of the entire family a few years later and she continues to capture our children perfectly in photos. She is very flexible and accomodating with her time and camera. I have photos from both sessions hanging in a few rooms in our home and countless friends and acquaintances have remarked on the beautiful photos on our walls. These are all the work of Marla. Yes, you will pay for high quality photos, but you get what you pay for, and working with Marla from start to finish, each time, is worth every single penny. You won't be sorry.

Marla is amazing! We could not have been happier with the experience for our son's senior pictures…read more Her work is incredible and the results are absolutely stunning. From start to finish, the process was seamless -- professional, fun, and creative.

Derek is an incredible photographer and a fantastic guy. He helped photograph my wedding in October…read moreand it was great to work with him. On the day of he was professional, friendly, helpful, and made me feel such at ease and confident in his work. I was so incredibly excited to see his photos from the day and they did not disappoint. He clearly has an eye for angles and shots. His editing is fantastic and he was happy to make any other edits or changes I wanted. His communication was fantastic and he got me the photos in a very timely manner. I can't say enough good things about both him and his photography. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and will keep him in mind for any photography needs down the road.

So I popped by here for a mocha and a scone for me and a pup cup of whipped cream for my gal. First off, the barista was SO nice. We chatted a bit about our dogs, shared photos (I always welcome those!), and was generally just such a pleasant, welcoming person. My mocha was delicious as was the cherry and walnut scone I ordered. And Lilly LOVED her pupcup. Overall very nice visit to a very lovely shop!

The staff was so so friendly and were very patient while we took our time reading the menu lol. We ended up getting a chai latte, espresso latte, and bagel sandwiches with sausage and egg. The chai latte was really nice, so was the coffee. The sandwiches were pretty good - I felt like they were missing something like a sauce. They do come with cheese, but I'm not a huge fan of melted cheese on my sandwiches so that might have been what they were missing. Overall, this spot was really cute and there's plenty of seating if you want to enjoy the space with friends or family. (Oh! There were also free coffee grounds for garden use in the corner - had to grab a bag for our gardener friend :)
