I have hired Allison Manzella Photography three times and each session has resulted in more perfect…read moredog photos than I could have imagined. Allison is skilled at getting to the heart and spirit of her subjects in as little as 20-30 minutes with no drama. (And she is primarily a people photographer!) Her calm, steady manner and engaging presence works magic on Toliver, Embrey & Hartley. My most recent session produced the most breathtakingly beautiful shots of my twelve-year-old pup with a joyful gleam in her eyes and a bright smile on her face. Stunning! Exactly what my heart desired and once again, Allison came through. I treasure these pictures now and will forever. Sure, I take plenty of photos with my iPhone. But they don't compare to the quality that a professional photographer can offer, and one great picture is worth well over 1,000 average ones. And you will get lots of great ones! Priceless. I highly recommend Allison for your people and pet photo needs.

I've gone to Portrait Simple both in Burlington Mall and more recently in Natick Mall to get…read morespecial non-US passport photos done for little ones. Derek is the manager in Natick (who I met in Burlington awhile back when he was there for a rare occasion). He was quick and to the point, very professional but also nice. We were able to get the digital file too for our needs. We called ahead and everything was prepared for us when we arrived. Highly recommend.

They treat their bunnies horribly--don't even give them hay which is 80% of a rabbits diet. Look at the tiny 2x2 cages they keep their bunnies in, with wire bottoms. Honestly, after this experience with them I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Angela was great to work with. I selected Dog Proof photography because I wanted someone who works…read moremainly with dogs (instead of photographers who take pet pictures on the side), and she did not dissapoint. She was very open about the process, answered all my questions patiently. She gave me a a list of locations that is within driving distance but was open if I wanted a place of my own choosing. I'm glad I chose one of the places she shared, she knew hwere to go, and good places to take the pics. At our appointment, she came on time and was very well-prepared. My dog had such a good time during our session, and I did too. when the photos came, the result was amazing, and selecting them and getting the digital copies was a breeze.

I cannot praise Dog Proof Photography enough- they are AMAZING. At first, I was just playing with…read morethe idea of getting my dog, Ruth, photographed. Deciding whether or not it was worth the money, time, effort, etc. Clearly I decided to do it and let me tell you- IT WAS 100% WORTH IT ALL. I didn't have any idea where to go to take photos- so Dog Proof set up an absolute perfect array of places to take her. We went to wide open fields, beautiful lakes, graffiti walls, bridges- it was quiet the adventure. Ruth had a blast! Unlike most photo studios, Dog Proof let Ruth be a dog. They captured her jumping for her tennis ball, digging in the sand, exploring the woods. Every single photo showcased Ruth having the time of her life, enjoying being a dog. Not to mention, Ang is not afraid to get muddy! She got in the dirt to take half of our photos- getting the best of Ruth's angles! It was incredible to see her work!! When the photos came back, we were stunned. These photos will last a lifetime, moments that I could never have captured on my own, that are hanging on our walls forever. I can't thank Dog Proof enough for giving my family such a beautiful gift. If you're on the fence about getting your pups photographed- I suggest you do it! You won't regret it at all if you use Dog Proof. (AND your dog will be happy you chose them too- Ruth left the shoot exhausted with lots of cheese & meat in her belly!)

From the beginning, she asked thoughtful questions to understand what we were hoping for, gave suggestions on potential locations, and explained how everything would work while checking in along the way to make sure how we'd work together worked for us. On the morning of the shoot (we picked a sunrise option down by the water in the city) she took a wide variety of shots and she is amazing with dogs- she was patient with our new puppy, knew how to capture his attention, and we walked around to different spots that allowed for greater variety of backdrops and lighting as the sun came up. Once the photos were ready she did a fantastic job walking us through the options and came prepared with real materials (frames, photo album covers, samples) that really helped us envision what the final products might look like. When our selections were ready, she brought them beautifully packaged- it was like opening a series of gifts! Blue herself is an absolute pleasure to work with- she knows her stuff, is super responsive, and has fantastic ideas. The way she runs her business makes it easy to understand each step of the process, and she uses tech in a way that is easy to engage (e.g. upfront intake form, selection tool for photos, etc.) paired with high-touch service. We really enjoyed working with Blue and hope to do future shoots as our pup grows up. Thank you Blue- we love the photos and working with you!

I didn't feel rushed, and she had lots of snacks for a pregnant mama like me! She even let me rest when I needed to. I would recommend her to anyone, and I would definitely return. My photos were breath taking! I couldn't even believe it was me ! She made me look so beautiful and captured moments that I didn't know I could give. Thank you Adriana, you deserve every award you've received, and there plenty more to come. You are a MASTER at what you do! It was such a pleasure working with you!

I generally don't like having photos taken and I was also apprehensive about having my hair and make-up done - I was nervous that I would look nothing like myself. As it turned out, I had absolutely nothing to be worried about - Rick has the uncanny ability to make you feel 100% comfortable and at ease the second you walk in the door. He has a great eye for bringing out the best in a subject and making sure you are truly happy with the results. He clearly knows his craft exceptionally well and is great at what he does. He provides just the right amount of direction to get you looking at your best - he also has a great sense of humor (and great music taste!) that made for a great headshot experience. Thanks so much, Rick!

I started Wagnificent in December of 2017, after several fun years of on-leash dogwalking. Many dogs I walked had good recall skills and were eager for more exercise, including Kernel. This inspired me to start a physically and mentally stimulating program for dogs, where they are rewarded in numerous ways for exhibiting good behavior. Hiking off-leash with the pack gives each dog a sense of confidence, friendship and EXHAUSTION! I build trusting relationships with every pack member by routinely practicing basic commands and using positive reinforcement, including but not limited to cheese.
