I'm used to having to tell professionals I hire exactly what to do, but Rita had so many great ideas that she was the expert in charge, as it always ought to be! I am now spoiled by her excellent service. Her business branding session we did before the first shoot was incredibly valuable. I did not expect to get so many new ideas about how to advertise my business. This service set her apart in my search for a Kansas City area photographer and did not disappoint. She was also wonderful throughout both of the photoshoots. She thinks quickly and is great at keeping you smiling with humor, even at the end of a five-hour session. In addition, she goes the extra mile--she even helped me clean up and chop in the kitchen for the food photos! Best of all, the photographs all turned out wonderfully, and she got them to me promptly. Rita helped me to take my business to the next level! I'll consider using her even after I leave the Kansas City area. She gets my highest recommendation.

RITA IS THE BEST energy to be around when you are feeling vulnerable in front of the camera and nothing ever felt artificial or forced. When I see these pictures it's the way I see my life with my son. I never thought someone could ever capture that, but SHE DID. Rita's has captured my timeline and our story over the years and it's one of the most cherished things I have!

Their services were ok (average), but the rub is that I thought they were arrogant and disorganized. Also, they are over the top with their religion. Yes, many people go to church, but not everyone is fanatical. Just too much. Also, they don't have a business phone number or address on their website. You have to submit a form just to inquire about them. They give out their number IF you hire them, but you're out of luck if you don't have it when you need to call because you can't look it up on their website. It's hard to reach them. I would not recommend them.

She was very knowledgable about the entire wedding planning process and it felt like having another wedding coordinator on my team! We didn't have to worry about anything along the way, she always had all of the details figured out and taken care of. Our wedding package with Nicole included an engagement session on location at Berkley Riverfront Park. Working with Nicole is so fun and she is so natural when it comes to giving direction, our engagement session was exactly my dream vision. We had a blast on the shoot and as a result, we had tons of beautiful photos to use for our announcements and invitations! On our wedding day, Nicole was taking photos from dusk until dawn; she was there for the first and last moments of our special day, we never had to worry about a moment being missed. Nicole was an incredibly fun and positive energy force throughout the busy day. I appreciated how she took charge and did the organizing for our formal posed family photos, I can't thank her enough for that hard work! Our wedding album was presented in a beautiful photo-box with a USB of our hundreds of photos and a personal touch with a special Polaroid of us on our wedding day, it was so neat. We loved having Nicole be a part of our biggest day as our photographer, we will always praise and promote her talent and service.
