I can get really awkward and not know what to do when taking pics but he really guides you through the whole process and makes you feel you're in good hands. I've gotten my headshot photos done with him but most notably my fiancé and I got our engagement photos taken by Nathan too. Love how they all came out. Will always be my go-to photographer for future events. Highly recommend!

I apologize to Nathan for taking so damn long in reviewing his business!…read more First, I was an anxious bride with a lot of drama between my family and my maid of honor. I've also never been part of a wedding or have been a bride before - everything was brand new to me. But Nathan was a key teammate who helped break down what the day of would look like from his perspective as a photographer. He gave me times and talked me through what to expect. This alleviated a lot of the stress I was feeling leading up to the big day. On the day of, Nathan and his assistant were prompt and timely. They really stuck by the schedule. When a bridesmaid wasn't posing the way he wanted, he kindly directed them. I was very much at ease with Nathan taking shots of me and my husband. It took about two weeks or so before we got our pictures back and we were blown away! We absolutely loved the shots he presented to us. We especially loved the ones he took on the boat - of us, our guests, our reception. I highly recommend Nathan as your wedding photographer!

I love Joanna! She is an amazing and friendly photographer. I have used Jo multiple times…read morenow--for maternity, newborn, infant, and family pictures--and I plan on using her as my kids get older! She's really that good! and her prices are affordable and she's so professional and easy to work with. So worth every penny to hire a good photographer to take family pictures because I am often the one holding the smartphone so I'm hardly in any pictures and it's rare we get the entire family in the photo (plus they're not as good). So having Jo take pictures was great because she makes it fun and relaxing during the photo shoot...which makes it easier to convince the husband to participate. :) One main reason I keep going back to Jo is because of her impressive patience and her willingness to take time to do a good job. My daughter was a fussy baby so I was nervous about her first photo shoot. But all that crying didn't phase Jo. While I was getting flustered and even suggested we end the shoot early, Jo took extra care and time to calm my daughter to get the shots I wanted. She really wants the customer to be happy and does everything and beyond to make sure of that. Knowing that I will be taken care of is the reason I am a repeat customer. Also, Jo was quick to respond to questions I had pre-shoot and heard me out before suggesting location and outfits to match what I wanted. Jo's pictures always turn out great, have a wide variety of shots, and are so fun to share with others on holiday cards, online, and framed. My friends who have also booked with her thank me for recommending Jo. It was hard to narrow it down to a few, but here are some of my favorite pictures Jo has taken to show you her range. Book with her and you won't regret it.

I am so so appreciative! The photos looked wonderful and better than what I had envisioned. So grateful to have worked with Heather!!

The mini session was 15 minutes - she was happy, gentle, and warm with the kids and we felt so comfortable despite never having met before. I went to the session hoping to get 2-3 good photos - instead, we now have a photo gallery full of photos that bring so much joy. It's hard to get good family photos with 2 young toddlers, so I'm especially thankful for these treasured memories. And lastly, her communication is clear and prompt - I appreciate this so much as I'm trying to get holiday cards made in time for Christmas! Trish has a wonderful gift, and I'm so glad to have found her!

From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease. Working with a baby can be unpredictable, but Sarah was so patient, playful, and attentive--managing to capture every sweet expression and little detail that makes this stage so special. My son adored her & responded so well to her. The photos are absolutely stunning--beautifully lit, thoughtfully composed, and full of personality. Each image feels like a work of art that we'll treasure forever. It's rare to find someone who is not only talented behind the camera, but also has such a warm presence that brings out the best in their subjects. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting timeless, heartfelt photos. We're so grateful for these memories and can't wait to book future sessions!

Extremely unprofessional and disappointing experience!…read more I had a terrible experience with Clivabeth Photography. The owner, Liz, was unfriendly, unhelpful, and unprofessional--especially when I reached out about my child's photos. During my daughter senior session, she was given no guidance on posing, resulting in poorly composed photos where important props blended into her white gown. Her hair and head placement weren't adjusted, and overall she received fewer and lower-quality shots compared to other students. What concerned me most was the clear difference in treatment. Another senior present received detailed pose instructions, got to review photos on the camera, and their parent was allowed to stay in the room. Meanwhile, I was asked to wait in the hallway and my daughter was rushed through her session, leaving us feeling disrespected and discriminated against. We also paid sitting fees but weren't allowed to view or help with photos. Regular school pictures had to be self-edited before ordering, and they arrived bent in the mail. Other parents I spoke with also disliked their photos and plan to retake them elsewhere. Overall, very poor service, inconsistent treatment, and low-quality results. I do not recommend this vendor at all.

Elizabeth was our photographer for our engagement session in January 2020, and then again for our small, outdoor, COVID-compliant wedding on 11/14/2020. During the engagement session, she was fun, professional, and knowledgable about dog-friendly sites! We were blown away at how beautiful these shots came out, and she designed our Save the Dates with them, which everyone loved! However, during our wedding day come November, Elizabeth surpassed all previous expectations!! She was on-site a few hours prior to ceremony start to capture those fun "getting ready" moments for both myself and the groom and the ceremony space before and as guests arrived. During both the first-look and the ceremony, Elizabeth closely captured all the emotions PERFECTLY...and yet the camera's presence didn't feel intrusive at all! The rest of the night was photographed seamlessly, from family portraits to guests at their individual tables, to a socially-distanced group picture, our first dance, dinner menu options, the cake-cutting, and the bouquet toss...every little detail was captured!! By the time Elizabeth told us it was time for her to leave, we were honestly a little bummed..she absolutely felt like a friend leaving the wedding early! We received a few sneak peek shots a few days later...and they LITERALLY BROUGHT TEARS TO OUR EYES! They we're STUNNING. Once we got access to our entire wedding gallery about 3 weeks later...we were amazed to see our little (pandemic) fairy tale captured so beautifully on film. As we shared different shots on social media and with family, everyone commented on how gorgeous they were and how stellar our photographer was! We had just enough time to use some of these photos for a Christmas card, which Elizabeth quickly designed, and our friends/family loved! We're now in the process of choosing photos for different wall art pieces, which we can't wait to have in our home as forever keepsakes. As other opportunities for photoshoots or portrait sessions arise in years to come, we know EXACTLY who we will be hiring- and we'll be recommending only Clivabeth Photography to anyone in need! Thank you again, Elizabeth! You are simply AMAZING!
