Stephanie is a true testament to this. We are SO lucky to have found her. We LOVE her work and she is a true gem of a human to work with. She has been nothing but accommodating, responsive, and timely, (both with the shoot and sending proofs, sharing information, etc.). She was also understanding when she arrived as scheduled for our shoot, but my newborn was still feeding. I felt terrible, but she just gets it. And of course, while I could rave about her kind-heartedness, passion, and professionalism, her talent speaks for itself. Her newborn photography style is sophisticated, natural, and comfortable. It is not articulated or contrived. She has a true eye for lighting and the right angles. Additionally, she guided us through the whole process, from styling to sending us a pre-shoot guide, on how to declutter your space, prepare for photo day, ease your newborn into it, and what to expect. She was transparent with pricing (definitely on the high end, but worth the splurge) and offers various packages based on your budget. If you haven't guessed it by now... I would highly recommend her. Note: We did this (after much deliberation and concern) during Covid-19. Our baby was only 2.5 weeks old. We did an in-home shoot. She came to us. Prior to the shoot, she explained how cautious she is and how she sanitizes everything and prioritizes the baby's safety first. Having completed the shoot, she definitely did. She was respectful of our concerns and did not take anything personally at all. Of course, we all wore masks and she confirmed that she asks her clients about their exposure and any symptoms they could be experiencing. It was comforting to know she checked in with other clients and was open and transparent with us. She brought her own props that were cleaned but we mostly used our own. If she had not taken these precautions, or another vendor had done less, I can say that we definitely would not have gone ahead with the shoot, but she made us comfortable during a difficult time. Thank you, Stephanie, for these precious memories! We look forward to booking again.

We are so happy to have found Stephanie and plan to work with her for our family photos for years to come.

I wanted to memorialize the sweetness of my newborn so I looked into infant photography and randomly came across Courtney's website and I'm so glad it did! She had already planned a family trip but generously squeezed me in the morning of her travel. Unbelievably considerate for someone I've never met. The morning of our shoot, she came prepared with all the props we could ever need to make my little baby as cute as possible! Courtney was prompt, patient and soooo professional! She was so gentle wit my baby and knew tricks to keep her calm that I didn't know. She promised to have a certain number of shots and stayed over her time until she kept her promise. I truly appreciate her dedication. Any other photographer would have said that they time is up and that that had to leave. I recommend Courtney 1000 times over! She will take the most amazing and memorable pics of your little ones!

She even managed to get some photos of all of my bigger kids smiling and looking at the camera. That's no small achievement! I would absolutely recommend Courtney for your next family or newborn photo session.

I've worked with several photographers in NYC and DC in the past, and usually, they will rush you, take a few shots, and deliver ho-hum photos.

I came back for the branding package for my website(s), and I'm thoroughly excited by the results. I just got them the photos today, and I could not wait to write a review. The professionalism, the quality, and artistry are impeccable. John is a specialist with lighting and gives you slight direction to get the right pose needed for your photo. The result is a photograph that stands the tests of time and stands out from the crowd. He is an artistic genius, funny, and pleasant to work with. A true superstar if you ask me.
