Her pics are either really close up or very far away. Doesn't pose the kids, I'm all for non posed pics however when it's for dance that's completely different. The lighting is always bad. I take better pics. Her new thing is she puts these extremely heavy watermarks on her digital images so you can't print them out. While I understand that concept, these were so obnoxious me and my sister both said the same thing about our kids pics. We couldn't really tell what we were purchasing. So blurry. When I contacted her she said replied with, adorable, lots of smiles. Sure, because she can actually see them, I can't. What would she say, oh they look awful? When telling her I couldn't really tell due to the watermark, she ignored me and never emailed me back again. I think she just assumes if parents want a pic of their kid in their costumes that bad they will pay for it. And she would be correct. Here I am after going back and forth with frustration ended up giving in and purchasing the 3 I felt looked decent. When the watermark was removed after I paid of course, I wish I haven't done that. Should have went with my gut on this one and not purchased. Each digital download was $35 or you get 5 images for $100 as a package deal. I couldn't even pic out 5 good ones out a total of 34 images she took. Save your money. Hire someone else. If her studio has her come back, I definitely won't be sending my daughter in on pic day. Waste of good hair, costumes, and makeup.

With the birth of my second child approaching, I was searching for a photographer to capture…read morepictures of my family and newborn. I had seen Jessica's work on Facebook and was referred by a friend who had nothing but great things to say. I purchased a large photo package which included maternity photos and pictures of my baby right after she born, at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. I knew what I wanted my photo package to look like and Jessica was very accommodating. Good photos aren't cheap, but I found Jessica's prices to be comparable to other photographers. Our first photo shoot was done outside. My son didn't cooperate at all, but she still managed to get great pictures. Our second photo shoot was for my daughter's newborn photos and that was done in her studio. The studio was a clean professional space that was decorated very nicely. One thing that I love about Jessica is the number of photos she gives you. You definitely get your money's worth! Jessica also prides herself on getting you your photos on time!

I found Sarah though Instagram and saw her pictures were beautiful, natural and candid yet…read moreprofessional. She was advertising mini sessions for Christmas and her prices were affordable. I had always wanted to get some professional photos taken and decided this would be a good year. I had some questions and Sarah was very responsive and happy to help. I was lucky that she had some availability that matched with our schedule. She was able to get us in right away. She let us choose between Chestnut Ridge and a Christmas tree farm to take pictures, it was nice to have some input. She brought some props and welcomed bringing your own if you had something special. We brought our new puppy and were excited to incorporate her into our family pictures. My significant other and I aren't really into taking pictures. We never take any when we go out but felt motivated this year to have some nice ones for our home and a Christmas card. I think we weren't quite sure what to expect and were just hoping for the best. I am happy to share that Sarah made us very comfortable and made the session fun. Nothing felt forced or staged too hard which was a bonus. She got us our edited pictures back very quickly and we were thrilled with the results. The pictures are amazing and more beautiful than I'd have imagined. I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I went to Ascension Visionary Concepts for my maternity photo shoot and I was…read moretaken aback by the outstanding customer service and professionalism Timothy and Deanne (the photographers) exuded. I went to the shoot completely under prepared. I had no idea how to pose, what type of background I wanted, or what unique touch I wanted to add to make the photos my own. T&D had that completely handled for me (such a breath of fresh air :) They showed me a few different "maternity" poses and had 2 perfect locations already planned for me. Timothy is such a perfectionist in the perfect way. He really knew how to bring out the "Top Model" in my partner and me, who had no clue what to do with ourselves in pictures. The chemistry between Timothy and Deanne was amazing. It definitely rubbed off on us and made our pictures even more beautiful. They are so friendly and the quality of work they give you is just wonderful. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again!

Paul at Living in the Buff is one of the best people I have met in life. He is kind, friendly, and…read morewilling to help out whenever called upon. Those qualities and more shine through in his photography. His professionalism and ability to crack a joke to get a toddler to look at a camera and smile cannot be understated. We wanted a quick little session for some family photos when my son was around 1.5 years old. The weather was starting to warm up and we wanted to capture some actual photos of us all that weren't taken with an iPhone. Paul and I set up a quick session for a day/time that worked well with weather and found a nice spot to meet up for photos. I did say my son was 1.5 years old right? So he was not thrilled about sitting still for photos. Paul's ability to grab candid shots, entertain a toddler, and even make the impossible task of capturing a rambunctious toddler on camera happen almost seamlessly. My wife was so blown away with the photos Paul took, she immediately told me we will have to go back and have another session when our son is a bit older. (Plus we have to bring the dog in too) Paul will not only capture the perfect photo for you, but the work he will do to make you feel comfortable, camera ready, and deliver a great product is unmatched. I recommend checking out Living in the Buff for any of your video or photography needs.

I've seen him at many events over the years and been photographed by him on numerous occasions. His attention to detail speaks volumes. I also follow him on his social media- he is quick to get back to his clients and turn-around time for photos doesn't take long at all. I don't give out 5 stars often so I hope that speaks for itself. I'd recommend him, hands down, for any of your photography needs!

It also seems like every vendor is has their own agenda which further complicates the entire process. This is why I loved the work that Yuliya and Oleksiy did for our wedding, I just got a copy of the pictures and I couldn't be more pleased. All you have to do is a take a look at their web site to see they are great photographers and the work they did for us was phenomenal. I guess as some one who has just gone through the whole process I see value in this review if I can express or share something you can't get from a contract, email exchange the many things you can gleam from the long grueling and painful wedding planning process. This is the one moment of truth item, its the fact that they cared and did the things they had to do to make it a great experience, believe me when i tell you not every vendor cares. The Yuka team was extremely friendly to our guests, they stuck to the letter of the contract and if anything exceeded our expectations. They were so kind and it made the day easy. Yuliya and Oleksiy cared and it showed in the product from the actual day of the wedding up until i just got a copy of my pictures a few minutes ago. Yulia has a great eye, she was able to see locations, opportunities and venues and and take advantage of them and it resulted in great pictures. She has the patience of a saint listening to the various photo suggestions people in the wedding party, in addition to family members. They were devoted through out the whole process and if we have an opportunity we would use them again. Yuliya and Oleksiy also handled my sisters weddings and they both feel the same way I do. If you want to to check one thing out of your list of potential stressful items I would recommend going with Yuka

I like how his photographs really work to have you- the subject stand out but you're still able to see Buffalo in the background.

His photographs are really cool and prices are reasonable!!

Honestly, it doesn't matter what age you are, Natasha will make your photos look classy and beautiful especially with the help of an equally awesome stylist.
