Amy's talent is second to none. The photographs we received are classic and their composition will make them stand the test of time. Amy's work is heirloom quality. She can magically capture the emotion of the moment, whether it be tender, joyful, triumphant, pensive. Her ability to be in tune with her subjects makes her work so very human and relatable. Amy tells your story through pictures. I am not sure how, but she does. Amy is beyond professional. She is a joy to be around and her lighthearted spirit puts everyone at ease. Hard working is an inadequate term. She arrives early, stays late, and absolutely refuses to deliver a product that is less than perfect. Topsail Photography will be my family's lifelong photographer, and should be yours as well.

If you're on the fence about hiring Erin as your photographer, this is your sign to leap OVER the…read morefence and call her up immediately and book her ASAP. She is PHENOMENAL. Clearly, she is beyond talented and her photographs are the REAL DEAL. I mean heck, just look at her portfolio on her website as well as her IG. Erin's photos for you - no matter what you hire her for and no matter how big the project - will be just as high quality as the shots you see on her website. Absolutely first class. Erin is also an excellent communicator and really works closely with you. She digs into things to figure out EXACTLY what you want and need. I've used Erin a few times for business pictures (nutrition and fitness) and she made me extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. I'm not exactly a natural when it comes to standing in front of the camera, but she was able to pull SO many amazing shots out of me! She also thinks really outside of the box. She's creative. She's NOT going to give you some generic photos that you see everyone else use or have. You're going to get something UNIQUE. I swear, at the end of your photoshoot, not only will you have some awesome photos and memories, but you'll probably want to take Erin out for coffee every single week just to hang out. It helps to work with someone who is engaging, friendly, and encouraging.

I reached out to Karen on Monday and we had a session on Friday. One hour, fantastic setting, and great experience. I've only seen a handful of the photos she took and I can already tell they are mindblowingly great! Honestly, the best idea ever! Go to her website and look at what she can do. Get your family photos taken by Karen. You will not believe your eyes. Amazing work! Totally amazing!

The day/night of our shoot on the beach it was expected to rain and the weather couldn't make up it's mind. We kept in touch all the way up to the minute she arrived. I was seriously worried about the pictures and wanted them to be perfect. I do not know why I even bothered being worried. These pictures are AWESOME! We could not have asked for anything better to capture our amazing vacation memories we have on that beach. Don't hesitate when trying to choose a photographer. Do it!

LOVED our maternity photo shoot! Michelle is very professional, personal & sweet!…read more She responded soon after I first contacted her. Since I was in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy, I was happy to see she made the whole photo shoot process so smooth. She had an awesome makeup & hair artist available that you could use & we had a consultation to go over the location, what I expected, & I got to try on various outfits to wear. That saved me time & money from finding an outfit(s) to wear. I asked to have a photo shoot in a location she had never shot before nor was it the type of place she usually shoots. It was awesome to hear she had went to the location before our photo shoot to find good spots. Photo shoots can feel awkward sometimes, but she really directed the shoot. She was efficient with our time & had poses for my husband & I to do. After the photo shoot, you meet with her again to choose your photo package & to see your photos for the 1st time. I honestly loved the entire shoot! She always adds a nice personal touch with how she presents her photos. I could tell she really cares about her clients & enjoys what she does. Will definitely use Michelle Popp Photography again for future photo shoots!
