How to even start... Summer is ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED FOR…read moreYOUR BABY'S PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! You couldn't find a better Newborn Photographer if you tried. Go ahead and try. That's right, you couldn't find one. It's cuz she's the BEST. EVERY. SINGLE. IMAGE is perfect. I've been amazed at how she is able to take totally crazy, newborn skin (bumpy, red, splotchy, acne, jaundice, you name it) and make it smooth and creamy- and it looks beautiful and natural. Soooo many photographers don't do this well. I see (too often) images of babies looking red/splotchy and uncomfortable, or the opposite happens and they look waaay over-photoshopped and plastic. Summer is an expert in every way. I look at a baby's face and take a photo with my iphone thinking "they are SO cute!!!!" then I see the photo and I think, "what happened???!!!" lol. She is able to bring out the beautiful serenity of the babies she photographs and also keeps the real and natural "feel" of it all. Her use of color and props is out of this world. You won't find a better planner, as she plans every detail. She makes every hair stay in place (sooo important to my OCD-ness) and is conscious of each little, tiny finger's placement of your baby. She'll take family photos if you beg her, and she makes the new Mommies look sooooo amazing and natural! It's seriously incredible. Here's the reason you are going to believe every word I say. I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER TOO!!! I would bring my own babies to her every. single. time. I trust her THAT MUCH. Do you know how picky a photographer is when choosing her own photographer??? Summer surpasses my expectations every time she photographs! So glad I found this woman!!!

Spectacular photos and awesome experience! I loved it all. Summer made sure the photos worked well…read morewith our decor and were exactly what we wanted according to our color/style preferences. She nailed it! Even more amazing than I could have imagined. She's so creative. Def also an expert w making your baby comfy and cozy in her professional studio. All the props, backgrounds and outfits were impressive. I got to sit back, sip coffee or tea, and enjoy watching while she worked her magic. (As a tired mommy it was kinda therapeutic to be in such a peaceful environment while another loving mom took care of my baby for a little while ) I would recommend Bella Rose to everyone--go for it, you'll be so glad you did!

I was looking for a maternity photographer in Virginia - and I found Rare Rose Imagery on yelp!…read more I went on Erica's website & inquired. She emailed right away and we were able to talk through email, texting and a quick phone call. What I loved about Erica was her fast communication through email/texting. At the time that I found Erica I was in California and I had my (now fiancé) speak to Erica a few times because of our time difference. Erica and Tony kept in touch with planning our session which made it super easy for me to just focus on outfits. Lol! I let her know I was looking for maternity & outdoor photoshoot. She exceeded my expectations. We confirmed date and time then she let me know the location few days closer to our photoshoot date. Erica certainly knows how to pose (Tony & I) since were not photogenic lol. We received our photos in a drop box pretty fast! She emailed me the link. Our pictures were edited as well. Edited to perfection. Overall - Erica is such an amazing photographer! Super friendly, super fun & social! My maternity shoot turned into an engagement shoot towards the end of our session. Erica has captured memories forever. I will continue to use Erica far as I am in Virginia but my fiancé and I highly recommend her!

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!

A friend recommended her to me for boudoir photos and I contacted her and was able to book within a few weeks (though I believe she typically books further out). She answered all of my questions beforehand, gave me her cell phone number, reassured me, and gave me tips for the day of. Her studio is absolutely beautiful and very private. She and her makeup artist Destiny were there to greet me and they immediately made me feel extremely comfortable. Destiny did my makeup while LeZandra and I chatted about what types of images I liked and what I wanted out of my photo shoot. I brought some of my own outfits but she has a whole closet of beautiful lingerie and shoes to choose from as well. LeZandra guided me through poses and made me feel super comfortable but like an absolute supermodel at the same time. She was very encouraging and showed me images along the way to make sure I liked the direction she was going in. We ended up taking a little longer than her usual sessions because she was so easy to talk to and felt like an old friend by the end of our session. The whole experience was a blast and I can't wait to see the images. If you are interested in boudoir photography I can not recommend her enough!
