We felt at ease the entire time, mainly because of how personable both Kelsey and Kody are. Photo sessions can sometimes feel a little awkward and this one did not at all! We had a few specific shots that we wanted, and they listened to our requests and we LOVED all of our pictures. I was also very impressed with how quickly we were able to see our pictures, since I know it is a lot of hard work to go through and edit so many shots. Overall we were very happy with everything!

We had our photo session- and the pictures are not cheesy- they are actually very tasteful. We also had a lot of excellent portrait pictures done of the three of us, and other family members. She is very professional (she's been doing this 3 years!), extremely talented, and took away all my anxiety of getting these pictures done. I still have my man card. I am definitely going to be using her in the future to document my baby growing up. Look no further when looking for newborn/baby/child photography. I would have had my wife do her maternity pictures there too had I discovered her before!

I just had a baby and wanted to of course get great pictures as a newborn (and also for someone to…read moretake some maternity shots) and someone referred me to Oh Snap! Photography by Amy. She is one stop shopping for the above (and also for pictures of our baby as he gets older!). We just had our photo session and we could not be happier with the results. She has an amazing gift on working with newborns (who can sometimes be cooperative, cranky, moody etc) and older kids. She is extremely patient. She has a great variety of props- various materials to get pictures that will be memorable for years to come. She is extremely creative, and works well with you to create unique shots. Just check out her website to see her portfolio and you will be amazed! She is extremely reasonably priced (you are paying for her photo skills/editing of pictures)- and what's nice is that she gives you a CD with all the pictures on it- so you can print them whenever and wherever and however you want. She doesn't offer printing at this time. There are so many places online or locally- it's cheaper to print them on your own (I found that a lot of photographers come with a high price tag because you have to also buy THEIR prints and do not get to keep a digital copy of pictures without paying a hefty price). You also get full printing rights of your pictures (which is how it should be!) She is a Rockford native (support local!) I am definitely going to use her in the future to document this exciting journey (and if there are any more to come!) ;) http://www.ohsnapbyamy.com/

When looking for a photographer for our wedding, my criteria were that the photographer takes…read morebeautiful shots and that they are reliable. After looking through Brian's impressive portfolio and sitting down with him to talk, we decided to hire him for our wedding and engagement shoot. Brian completely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Brian is not only very reliable, but he is also extremely dedicated to his work. Brian drove over 90 miles to get to our engagement photo shoot and on the way he stopped at a gas station on the south side of Chicago where he stepped on two nails, which punctured his foot. Although we insisted that we reschedule so he could take care of himself, he still arrived (early, as his style) ready to shoot our session. He carried his equipment on his back on his injured foot for miles around Chicago, and took some of the most breathtaking photos I have ever seen. Brian helped us to feel completely comfortable the entire time. I remember being impressed with how he can walk backwards, get to know us better by carrying on a conversation, assess the lighting of the area around him, all while shooting pictures that made our families cry and that we will treasure forever. We are happier than ever that we chose Brian and his assistant Greg to shoot our wedding on July 13, 2013. On the day of my wedding, I didn't have time to notice all of the details that I previously spent so much time planning. Brian perfectly captured all of these details in his photographs. There were many shots that I would have never thought to ask him to take, but because of his professionalism and experience he provided these pictures for us. Most importantly, Brian captured the moments that happen so quickly.. but that I will remember forever. Because of his talent, I have photos of my mom trying not to cry as I step into my dress, my grandmother giggling with the woman who was doing her make up, my groom's first teary look at me, and so much more. You are a lucky couple if you get to book Brian for your wedding!

My brother used Mindy Joy Photography for his engagement and wedding photography. Mindy was very…read morenice and professional. She had a list of photographs that the bride and groom wanted to take and she was very efficient and got through them all very quickly. She went with the bridal party to a local park to take pictures before the wedding. Mindy and the other photographer were very nice and easy to get along with. The most amazing part was that she was done processing the photos and were available on her website within a week!!! The pictures turned out great and everyone was very happy with them. I highly recommend Mindy Joy Photography!

She always captures the perfect photo the one you felt and relive that feeling when you look at the image. She knows all of the best spots for any time of day or weather condition. From rockford to Iowa, Chicago, or wisconsin. She's done it all! 10/10 always would recommend.

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team than Matt Mason Photography for our wedding…read moreday! From the very beginning, communication with Matt was clear and easy. He was always quick to respond, professional, and genuinely excited to capture our day. The automated check ins really kept us on track and easy to follow during all of the planning chaos. On the wedding day itself, both Matt Mason and Ben Hanson made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do! They gave us just the right amount of guidance without making anything feel forced, so all of our photos look natural and full of joy. Both of them were calm, kind, and fun to be around, which helped us relax and actually enjoy the photo process. The results are stunning and we'll treasure these photos forever. We are so grateful for all the effort, attention to detail, and care they put into making sure everything was perfect. If you're looking for photographers who are talented, easy to work with, and truly go above and beyond, Matt Mason Photography is the one to book!

My husband and I hired Matt and his team for our Indian/American fusion wedding in Minneapolis, MN…read more I was familiar with his work through a friend and the quality/value of other photographers I was considering in the Twin Cities just didn't compare. It was definitely worth it to us to have Matt travel to MN - we got an 8 hour package, fusion film, and flush mount album. Matt and Matt put us, our families, and bridal party very much at ease throughout the day, and were very considerate of cultural and personality needs. They gave us latitude on certain photos/poses we wanted but also gave us great ideas. I would highly recommend Matt Mason Photography for any event!

I will tell you a little story. 17 years ago I was looking for a photographer to take my senior…read moreportriats, but I only wanted black and white. I spent an entire summer calling around to photographers, and going to check out their work. After 3 months and dozens of photographers, most who would only do a portion in black and white, I found Kane Photography. Marie Kane had no problem with my request and the quality of her work was superior to any other photographer I had previously gone to. Since that time I have used Kane Photography for any of my photography needs. They did my senior pictures, my wedding, baby pictures for my oldest, and countless family portraits. In the last 17 years I have lived all over the world, and currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona. However, when it's time for pictures my family and I travel to Rockford, Illinois and go to Kane Photography. Matt, Marie, and Doreen have become like family to us, and no other photographer captures the beauty of life quite like they do. If your looking for a photographer who will truly capture your precious life moments, look no further than Kane. I promise you will not be disappointed.
