On the evening of our session, she made us all feel comfortable like we were hanging out with a friend. She was amazing with our 4 year old son and Shiba Inu. My son was so comfortable that he started doing his own poses and giving suggestions on how we should pose next. Amy also has an eye for all the small details that matter - where to place hands, positioning each individual, making sure clothing and hair is right, etc. I was so impressed! The turnaround time for the pics was fast and we are so happy with how they turned out. Amy is an EXPERT in capturing natural lighting. The lighting in our photos is stunning!! We would highly recommend Amy and will turn to her for our future photo sessions!

We had such a great experience with Amy for our maternity shoot!

Having a baby has completely changed my perspective and given me a new appreciation for photography…read moreand the amazing skills some photographers have. Getting even a good iPhone picture can be difficult! That said, after being a little disappointed with my daughter's six-month photo shoot results, I went in search of a new photographer for her nine-month/family session. Luckily for us, we found Tony. He impressed me from the beginning with his responsiveness and the instant willingness to do an outside photo shoot in December. Tony has an amazing eye for detail and carefully explained how he wanted to set up the various shots. He has a way of making you feel at ease and like you're not posing. My husband enjoys photography as a hobby, and Tony was generous with his tips and tricks. The results were amazing! He was able to capture her little personality beautifully. The pictures really are pieces of art-his skill just shines through. His way of capturing the light and the colors is pretty incredible. We were both happy and thankful to have found such a great photographer who happens to also be a really nice person. Looking forward to working with him in the future.

From our very first contact with Tony about our newborn photoshoot my husband and I were so…read moreimpressed by his professionalism. He answered all our calls, emails and questions promptly throughout the whole process, from booking to receiving our final photos! During our session we discovered how very warm and clearly passionate he is about what he does. We would even go so far as to call him the "baby whisperer". We were so impressed with how gentle and patient he was in handling our 14 day old newborn girl and his ability to swaddle and calm her so adeptly. We were so grateful to have the professional detailed handout on what to expect during the session and how to prepare. It just made it so much easier for us to know how the morning would go and what we could do to make it as pleasant of an experience for our baby and ourselves. On the morning of the shoot he was exactly on time. For us new parents trying to balance preparing with everything from nursing, eating breakfast, getting ready, and twelve other things, it was so appreciated that he was neither early nor late, the timing was just perfect. Tony is nothing if not prepared, he came with his bag of goodies and brought a good variety of baskets, outfits, wraps, backdrops, and even professional lighting equipment for our shoot so that we would receive a variety of unique photos and poses. He even brought a custom travel themed backdrop and setup after we had mentioned how much how much we love to travel! He was very flexible and patient during our shoot and even extended the session since we lost some extra time due to changing, feeding and general fussiness from our newborn. The final images we received are gorgeous! You can see a few of our favorites here, but there are so many beautiful ones... it's hard to pick faves! Tony's pricing, the shoot experience, the photographer, the final images and overall experience is just what we were looking for! We are definitely going to be using him for our future family photography needs.

10/10!!!! My experience with Afsoon was absolutely amazing from the first moment I walked in her…read morestudio to the moment I walked out. This was my first ever maternity photoshoot and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is extremely professional and very prepared in working with pregnant mothers. She makes sure you have enough breaks, you are at ease and you feel comfortable before anything else. That day was very warm outside and I needed to take breaks to sit down or to drink water, I also asked her if she had a fan and that made the biggest difference for me. She was suggesting poses and supporting my ideas as well. She's kind, gentle and again extremely professional. I will recommend her a thousand percent, and I will work with her again in the future. The studio is a beautiful space with all of the material needed for stunning pictures and memories. I am 100% happy with her work and the pictures makes me emotional every time I look at them. THANK YOU AFSOON!

If I could give Afsoon 10 stars, I would--without hesitation. From start to finish, working with…read moreher was an absolute dream. She is the perfect blend of professional, warm, loving, and wildly talented. From the moment we started, I felt completely at ease knowing my baby's safety was her top priority. She was incredibly cautious, clean, and intentional with every single detail, which meant everything to me as a parent. And somehow--on top of all that--she made the entire experience SO fun. Truly joyful, light, and effortless. Afsoon doesn't just take photos... she creates literal magic. The kind you feel in the moment and then relive every time you look at the images. Her attention to detail is next-level, and she is hands down one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. Every pose, every angle, every tiny adjustment was done with care and artistry. And as if she wasn't already amazing enough, her daughter being there to help was the sweetest bonus--such a beautiful, heartwarming addition to an already incredible experience. I cannot recommend Afsoon highly enough. If you're considering working with her, do it. You will walk away with stunning photos, full hearts, and the feeling that you were part of something really special.

Yuliya is hands down, my favorite photographer. From our initial meeting, Yuliya was very warm and…read morewelcoming and instantly made me feel comfortable. I have never been professional photographed before, so I felt incredible awkward at first, but she made me feel like the most gorgeous girl around with endless words of encouragement, adjustment of lighting and by picking the perfect scenery. When I received the pictures, I was was absolutely blown away by the quality and even squealed with excitement. Yuliya picked amazing angles that captured the surroundings perfectly and I was in love with every picture. In addition to being her client, I am also a wedding planner so I have had the chance to work with hundreds of photographers over the years. Yulia's work is completely unique and stands out in the most romantic, soft and stunning way. Her attention to extreme detail is noted in her art and creates a masterpiece-style capture, which is hard to find in most photographers. I HIGHLY reccomend Yuliya to every potential bride, professional or anyone needed a "go-to" photographer. You will NOT be disappointed by her work.

She even happened to be in the area prior to our wedding day and swung by the venue to check it out and to see what the lighting would be like!! On our wedding day, it was wonderful to have her by my side. She stayed calm through all the madness of a very hectic day and stayed much longer than she needed to in order to get all the shots we wanted. We got our gallery of photos in time for our one month wedding anniversary and they were BEAUTIFUL. Yuliya goes above and beyond the call of duty as a wedding vendor and I can't think of anyone who worked as hard as she did to help us make our day perfect!!!

I've seen her other portfolios and just WOW is all I can say. I will definitely be hiring her in the future for all of my photography needs. Could not recommend more!!

We had a fantastic experience with Anne and she made our family look *good*! :-)…read more Anne was very easy to work with. She suggested several locations for our shoot for us to choose from and she was flexible on timing. What was really amazing, though, is that she was able to get some beautiful shots of our young kids, one of whom was being atypically challenging that day. Anne worked him (she is great with the kids), posed us well, and did her best to capture some of the family personality. Nevertheless, my wife and I left the photoshoot frustrated that one son had behaved so badly and we basically wrote off the photoshoot in our minds. However, when we saw Anne's pictures the next week, we were amazed--the pictures were fantastic! Were we even at the same photoshoot?? I highly recommend using Lily Anne Photography. I'm sure that we will again.

In 2020 I reached out to retrieve my photos again since the Google Drive folder in which my photos were uploaded to was taken down. She let me know she'd send me the new folder from a new platform after a couple days & never followed through. Reached back out in 2021 twice, no response. It's 2025 & still no follow through. After reaching out this past Sunday from my other number & not disclosing who I was right away, I got an instant reply. And a very quick call after requesting one, still hadn't jogged her memory on who I was. We spoke & she gave a weak "sorry" & again she told me she'd send them to me the next day. That was Sunday....nothing came Monday. Sent a follow-up text Tuesday, no response. After sending a text sharing my honest thoughts on her horrible conduct, I get a reply saying she no longer has my WEDDING photos. Absolute horrible conduct. Honesty, professionalism, & basic human respect is completely lacking. Cannot believe this type of treatment is being given from someone who was a paying client. There should've been quick accommodations! What a shame. And my husband & I only have about 10 photos from our wedding. Smh.

I have had the pleasure of working with Richard on a number of occasions over the past year. I have…read moreattended three group classes and three one-on-one classes. He doesn't know this but I consider him my favorite photography mentor. I started my own photography business about a year ago and having someone of Richard's caliber, with his immense amount of experience and talent, has been a huge help and, at times, a big relief. He's a great teacher and his love for photography and helping people learn is palpable. I have told him many times that I will take any class he offers, regardless of the subject, because I learn something every single time I talk to him. If you're looking to improve your photography, regardless of your skill level, I highly recommend calling Richard. He is really that good.

He enjoys spending time with each individual, helping them out as much as he can. I have enjoyed working with him.
