    Oh my - if you need a solid newborn photographer, book a session with April! Her online portfolio…read morewas impressive of course, but given there is literally a small window of time to get the "perfect" newborn photos, I was very nervous. I got burned with my wedding photographer (so many many years ago, but I was so unhappy with finished product that I feel like it was yesterday), so I did not want the same to happen again with another of life's important milestones. But it was so unnecessary - April is so patient, so professional, and so kind! She bonded with my newborn immediately and took her time to get the best shots. I mean she REALLY took her time. You can tell she understands and realizes that every shot is a reflection of her work and the pride in her work, and she takes no shortcuts. Her studio is ?in flux - she is supposedly trying to find a new studio, but in all honesty, her current one seemed fine to me (ignorance is bliss?). Her prices (session+photos) are not cheap, however they are indeed reasonable given her level of expertise. Remember you get what you pay for, and what you pay for is an experienced professional and excellent photography. I am in the process of ordering announcements and print photos from her now (so difficult as so many of the proofs are simply gorgeous), and I am sure I will not be disappointed. I will update my review when they are delivered. I highly recommend April (she is also seemingly the "newborn whisperer" in my opinion, LOL...I wanted to take her home with me for those 3am crying spells!) UPDATE: Got my announcements and photos! Love, love, love! Fantastic quality as expected, and presented in a lovely neutral-toned rugged keepsake box and ribbon: the proverbial icing on the cake!

Her approach to infant photography and use of natural light with an organic, simplicity feel is what keeps your baby the center piece in each and every image.

    Shay and Jason shot our wedding, and I could not have been happier. After listening to everyone…read moretelling me that her prices were too high and then showing them her work, compared to people in the price range they were telling me was reasonable, I won everyone over, and I am so glad that I did. She captured all the photos I wanted, as well as some I didn't know I would. Her personality was everything my wedding party needed to stay on time. She is just a joy to work with, and we plan to keep working with her in the future, as our family hopefully expands.

    I cannot say enough great things about working with Shay and Jason. From the moment we met Shay she…read morehas been so helpful and personable with us. Through the planning process, she had great communication and worked with me to make sure no details were missed. The day of, Shay was amazing. She captured every moment beautifully. Her and Jason were so flexible with the ever changing plans with the weather that day. The thing I will remember most though was her not just being someone behind the camera. You can tell Shay truly cares. From coming to me and allowing me to take some breaths through the day to helping fix my bustle, she didn't just feel like a vendor, she felt like a trusted friend. I am so thankful we chose Shay to capture our day and have these memories to cherish forever. If you need a photographer, you will not be disappointed booking Shay and her team!

    You should be aware that the owner (Mary) is not the photographer. She has no knowledge of, or…read morecontrol over, the photographer's work. I cannot recommend this photographer. I paid $450 for professional photography for my daughter's first birthday, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that cost over $7,000. I trusted this photographer to capture such a special occasion, but the final gallery was extremely disappointing. Many of the photos were taken from low, unflattering angles, had poor composition, or were unnecessarily repetitive. Several important moments were either missed or not captured well. What was even more disappointing was the response afterward. When I raised my concerns, the photographer claimed that the angles had been "edited to eye level." That explanation made little sense. While editing can adjust exposure, color, and cropping, it generally cannot change the original camera angle or perspective. A photo taken from a low angle cannot realistically be transformed into an eye-level shot through editing alone. The photographer also failed to avoid obvious reflections in people's eyeglasses. Can you imagine paying $450 for professional photos, only to receive images in which bright white glare obscures people's eyes and faces? Instead of acknowledging the problems or offering a reasonable solution, Mary, the owner, refused to take responsibility or provide a refund. This was my daughter's once-in-a-lifetime first birthday, and after spending over $7,000 on the celebration, I expected professional-quality photographs that would preserve those memories. Unfortunately, both the quality of the photographs and the customer service fell far below my expectations.

    My experience working with Tetrad Opus was 5+ stars - absolutely fantastic, professional service…read more Krystle did our engagement and wedding photos during the fall seasons and captured the beautiful light and the natural look of my family's farm. 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. A true gem of a company -Caitlin

    Once again, Tetrad Opus Photography & Make-up Artist (Krystle) has worked her magic!!…read more Make-up Artist: Krystle is a phenomenal makeup artist and photographer!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is seeking a professional for any occasion. She offered some great makeup tips/advice that were very helpful for my complexion, and I can't wait to try them myself. I was very pleased with my results, and would definitely "continue" to use her services. Krystle loves her job! She will take all the time needed to make you look perfect! She explains how she is applying the make-up and the products she is using. She is very professional and knowledgeable with cosmetics. She can recommend brands and colors that are right for you. She excels in professional application skills and also provides tips and tricks to clients. I highly recommend her services! Photographer: Krystle, the photos of our Vow Renewal are so natural and you have captured our overwhelming feelings from the day. The photos brought back many intense emotions - from tears to laughter - we cannot thank you enough! Such amazing captures by you- a spectacular end result. I particularly like what you did with my wedding dress, shoes, perfume, rings, etc., so creative. Much love and appreciation! Phillip & TeResa Byers
