I simply adore the photos that Jen Paranzino Photography took for us. We have hired her three…read moreseparate times to shoot a newborn session, a one year old session and a three year old session. Each time she excelled in choosing the perfect location as well as making my needs and desires the #1 priority in how she guided the session. My kids are are a bit shy in these situations but that gave her the opportunity to create some fun shots while she helped them come out of their shell.

I cannot recommend Jen enough! She has a terrific eye for light in her photographs and knows how to…read morecapture authentic moments in a variety of settings (outdoor, indoor, formal, informal, etc.) Not only is she extremely talented behind the camera, but equally as important, she is a calming presence in her photo-shoots and she has a joyous disposition when things can seem stressful (think newborn shots!). She was so patient with our family and went to great lengths to put as at ease with anything that we needed to take time to do. She even helped rock the baby to sleep and position the baby- think baby-whisperer! She is amazing, and you and your family would be blessed to have her capture your special moments.

I remarked on my cousins post and pictures on social media. I never use your services and after…read moreyour reaction to the remarks never will. Your unprofessionalism will be reason enough. You private messaged all my cousin's family and friends her business with you. It was unethical and something that should be confidential between you and the customer. This is unacceptable and it showed the unprofessionalism of your company. We all agreed the quality of work is horrendous, charging her to re-do the book and using those pictures as advertisement without her permission is poor customer service since your company did not meet the standards of the quality you profess.

I genuinely don't even know where to start because Miriam exceeded every expectation I had. From…read morethe moment we started working together, she was so kind, warm, and easy to be around. On the wedding day especially, she brought such a calm energy that made everything feel effortless and not stressful at all. What meant the most to me is that she truly got my vision. I had saved so many ideas on Pinterest, and somehow she brought them to life even better than I imagined. Every photo feels like it came straight out of that dream board, but more real and emotional :) Her turnaround time was also amazing. And when we got the photos back, I was honestly blown away. They are stunning. The lighting, the softness, the little moments she captured... it all feels like a fairy tale. If you're even thinking about booking Miriam, just do it. She's talented, she cares, and she will make your wedding feel as magical in photos as it does in real life.

You don't have to know how to pose your body or face, she will direct you to make sure she captures you in the most flattering way.
