We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

Ours was a…read moresame-sex marriage and Derek treated us with the same respect and service that he would have provided to any other "traditional" clients--with one exception: he knew exactly when, where and how to tailor our special day to fit our needs. He was responsive, reliable, flexible and professional through every step of the process. Derek truly has the gifts of imagination, creativity and passion all perfectly blended with charm, wit and most of all an incredible ability to listen to what you want and interpret and transform it into breathtaking memories. We couldn't be more pleased with the abundance of photos, at a very competitive price, all with the convenience of online viewing and ordering! We would put Skewed Patella at the top of our list for ANY future event...hands down.

Derek Parks (Skewed Patella) photographed our wedding last year. Our day was far from typical, as…read morewe experienced an unprecedented "derecho" storm which left us without power for our ceremony and reception. We had no AC, no lights, no music, no running water, no showers and no flushing toilets (well water!) Derek braved the 100+ degree heat and faced the day's many challenges with a positive "can-do" attitude. He went about his work in a quiet, unobtrusive manner and provided an honest and natural representation of the day's events. Derek must have encountered all sorts of obstacles with lighting (or lack thereof), excessive heat, etc. However, he was unflappable and completely professional, allowing the happy couple to remain blissfully unaware and to simply enjoy the day. We were so impressed and delighted when we saw our photos, because Derek managed to capture all the joy and wackiness of our unusual day and created something wonderful! Our wedding day was unforgettable, and we will treasure our photographs and the memories they inspire forever. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Skewed Patella!

FillmanFoto is the best of the best. You will most certainly get a deal when booking with Sarah,…read morebecause her rates are outrageously reasonable considering the amazing pictures she will take for you. Her pictures are always sharp and well-staged (while still looking natural), and every person and scene looks the best it possibly could. Sarah is a pro at catching a person, animal, or scene at just the right moment so that it looks magical, and her editing is such so that it doesn't look fake. Most important (to me, anyway), Sarah has a professional and friendly demeanor that makes you at ease right from the start, so that you don't feel uncomfortable being in front of a camera for hours at a time. I worked with Sarah when she shot boudoir shots of me - this could have been very awkward, but instead I forgot she was even taking pictures because she was so professional. The pictures turned out beyond beautifully, she was quick in editing them, and she brought all of her own equipment so that I felt comfortable shooting in my own home. I have recommended FillmanFoto to everyone I know, and she has taken stunning pictures for them as well (regardless of the event and the people in the shots). I can't wait to recruit her for my engagement and wedding shoots!

We are absolutely thrilled with the photos, and so is my family. From an organizational perspective, they are just as talented as their photography skills. Erin sent me contracts promptly and, when COVID changed our plans, she sent us the revised documentation quickly. We knew what to expect and the whole experience was straightforward. My brother referred me to Tetrad Opus after he and his wife had Krystle take their 2017 wedding photos. My family is very happy with Krystle's services and also the affordable price in an industry where it's difficult to find quality photography without blowing the budget.
