He told us after we got there once the young ladies in front of us were done we could connect with Bluetooth to play our own tunes while we took pictures! He gave us a flash fob for our phone so we could easily take pictures and a tripod selfie stand to help us take good photos! The couple areas we were sad about is: AC was either off or not working which made it really hot in the building because, it's a brick building it radiated heat inside. Also it was obvious a few rooms were in transition changes... which made us sad cause one room I was looking forward to was a purple room with a bike and we got there no bike. Also they had transitioned their swing room from yellow to pink which I wasn't necessarily sad about but my besties favorite color is yellow so I had hyped up this room only to not have it for our photos. So all in all I would definitely go back so I could see what new things they do with some of the rooms! And the customer service spot on! I think it would be wise if they put on their gallery photos rooms subject to change! Just so people know they may not get a certain room everytime. BUT GO HAVE FUN CHECK THEM OUT!! It was lovely and clearly the people who own and run it have fun with it!!!

Caroline was amazing. My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Caroline as our wedding…read morephotographer. When we got married I would have loved to have had a tiny country wedding, but family obligations on my husband's side had us locked into a very large affair. Caroline helped us create and capture the intimate moments I was longing for. She worked with us every step of the way to create a photography package that fit our budget and included exactly what we were looking for and none of the extras a lot of the other companies we spoke with tried to slide in. A wedding day is full of adventures and unknowns, but there was never a moment where I had a single second of anxiety about Caroline and I'm proud to have her work in my home (and would be even if it wasn't our wedding photos). In fact - our venue was so impressed by her they asked if they could display the pictures she took of our wedding in their advertising for their wedding packages. She is simply a joy on all levels. A true professional who is looking to give you the once in a lifetime experience you deserve.

I also "won a Facebook giveaway - $2000 credit." Seems like these are common. I was not skeptical…read moreuntil I looked at the reviews. My husband did NOT want to go, but we decided to since I already had given the $100 security deposit. We had to schedule way out because they don't photograph babies younger than 9 months and mine was 5 at the time. The most stressful part to me was the outfit choices lol! They have strict guidelines. We got there and took photos, it went great. I really wish we had taken them on the dark background (idk why they choose the background that matches your clothing). Anyway, when we were done we went to the sales room where they show us all the pictures and sell us a package. Right up front I told her we were not interested in buying anything, as this was a Facebook giveaway I won -- I wasn't seeking it out. She understood. I told her we weren't going to spend any money aside from security deposit. Then of course, she informed us that the $2000 credit was only useable when you spend $6000+ or something like that. So we ended up getting an 8x10 (with the security deposit) and the lady actually threw in another one for free. They were all very nice and we had a good experience overall.

I would consider them crooks...and again I don't say that lightly. My husband and I, like the majority of everyone else in these reviews, won a "complimentary" pet portrait, I've attached an example of the verbiage to this review. We show up, have a blast taking the pics, then we get sit down to choose them...I thought something was off when they started the presentation with payment plan options....turns out the little "$500" means nothing when these portraits minimum start at 2.2k. We felt backed against the corner, threw it on a credit card, and walked out like did that just happen??? Then fast forward 3 months to pick it up, it comes with NO FRAME! No one told us that we paid for a picture on cardboard for 2.2k. Genuinely mind blowing. Putting people in uncomfortable positions and misleading them is NOT a way to do business.

Melanie is amazing. She saved the day for my small, elegant beach elopement…read more I had been speaking to photographers for months and couldn't find anyone that I liked their work enough to hire who was available with less than a year's notice. In comes Melanie, who I happened to find by accident through a Yelp promo email. She had another shoot earlier in the day, but bc we were doing a later beach elopement ceremony and reception, she could do it! Signing the contract and working out all the details online and via email was easy. She sent me some paperwork to give her details and then we had a phone conversation to discuss and get to know one another. On the day of - she texted me, showed up exactly on time, and was a dream to work with. So friendly, so kind, so helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my family and was so easygoing. She posed us wonderfully and rolled with the punches when a few things didn't go as planned (it's a wedding, it's going to happen!). Absolutely professional. The photos we've been given so far as a preview are stunning and I can't wait to see the others. Everyone raved about how kind she was and how much they liked our photographer afterwards, and when we've sent a few photos, they've all been blown away. I feel lucky to have found Melanie, and her husband Chris, to shoot my day and would recommend her to anyone who asked me for any photos. If we need family portraits or special pics taken in the future, she's our girl!

100/10 RECOMMEND!!…read more Melanie is the absolute SWEETEST person! I found her on Facebook when looking for someone to do my maternity pictures 7-8 months ago!! My maternity pictures are STUNNING and I've never felt more beautiful or loved my body as much as I did then and it was my third pregnancy! My kids absolutely ADORED her and my 3.5 year old son remembers her as the lady who loved his dinosaur toys. I booked our fall pictures with her on my birthday for our second photography session with her! Those pictures are soooo good and my kids were so uncooperative! Melanie also was absolutely amazing with my kids that day too! I booked my daughters first birthday pictures and cake smash with her in June! I'm so excited for those pictures because I just know how absolutely beautiful they are going to be!!! Definitely book a photography session with her! It's very worth your money And she's such an amazing photographer and a sweet person!

Our 19-year-old is graduating this year, and we decided to do a few family photos, as well. We chose a scenic local park for the backdrop for our pictures. Rueben was laid back and easy going. As candid shots work best for our family, we gave him free reign to utilize his artistic skills and click away as he saw creative opportunities. Our boys took to Rueben immediately and loved the camera. Talk about photo bombing! Rueben got some great shots of both boys, our whole family, and even a few of just my husband and me. His turn around time for the pictures was SPEEDY! The photos were phenomenal; Rueben has a good eye. Although a handful of our pictures were posed, he was able to capture moments of interaction, emotion, and personality. Thanks so much, Rueben! #highlyrecommend #value #cherishedmoments
