She sees the pictures in her head before you can and knows just the shots to make the lifestyle pictures work. They don't look like boring posed photos. The smiles she catch are genuine and so special to have captured. We love working with Modern Image and can't wait for each session we book!

Actually, I'm pretty sure she also travels, so definitely contact her for details. I really can't say enough positive things about the business owner / photographer, Lisa. She is super sweet! Her friendliness, professionalism, and expertise set the tone for a relaxed vibe during the shoot. Her confidence leaves no doubt in her ability to deliver. She allowed baby to be himself, just playing & laughing while her goal was to capture those cherished moments. The entire process was so perfect for what we wanted as well as our timeframe (due to my lovely procrastination, hah). Our images were delivered in a timely manner, and there's no dealing with all the silly restrictions like using only certain print shops, or purchasing digital images separately, blah blah, etc etc. Love having the freedom to do whatever we want with our baby's pictures!! We would definitely book with Modern Image Photography again, and encourage others to trust in Lisa to produce quality images to treasure for a lifetime.

An image that you can see over and over without it blurring away. Memories are being made one click at a time. Me being the person that I am, will always put you first.

This is what it's made of. This is who I am.

Wow Wow Wow. Heather is truly a master at her craft and such a warm and kindhearted person. It was…read moretruly such an honor to work with her from our engagement photoshoot to the day of our wedding. Background: On August 10, 2019 at Mount Shasta Resort, Heather and her team captured every essence of the best day of our lives. We had a lot of moving parts from the bipolar weather shifting from rainy to clear blue skies to densely packed program of our reception to managing photos with 230 guests. Yet, through it all, she managed to maintain her composure and had fun with us through it all. Style: Heather did a phenomenal job of capturing us and our goofiness as well as our gushy love and affection for each other. In addition, she was able to capture the traditional photos with family members and such. Process: She's great at communicating throughout the entire process. I never once felt like I wasn't in the loop. I HIGHLY recommend having Heather serve as the photographer for any event. She's got an impeccable eye for capturing all the right shots! We're absolutely ecstatic about our photos!

I have never in my life been so pleased with any service as I was with Heather Armstrong's…read morephotography at my wedding. Heather is the best sort of artist--the artist who creates for love of both the act of creating and the subject. Though I dabble in photography myself, I am admittedly not photogenic. Heather took the best photographs I have ever seen of myself, and made me feel profoundly comfortable all the while. Though Heather is based out of Redding, California, she was willing to travel to our wedding in Southern California. I have many friends who have spent far more on wedding photography than my wife and I did and in my opinion, our photographs are the best I have seen. You will not regret choosing Heather for your wedding, or for family or senior portraits. Check out her website, and particularly her constantly updated blog to get a taste of what an excellent photographer she is.

We had interesting conversation, he made me feel relaxed, and--dang--his photographs came out amazing. I get constant compliments: They're very real, authentic, and look like me. But cooler. He listened to me, was very open to any suggestions, and he has this way of getting to the exact right facial expression (which with me is hard). I feel I have the perfect professional photos showing me relaxed and as I am, authentically. It's a huge, huge help.

They're so enthusiastic, creative, and open to all your photo op ideas. Even members of my family and wedding party kept complimenting how cool they both were and how well they worked together!! There was so much emotion captured in their photos--we could literally feel the happiness coming out of the photos or relive the struggle not to cry. It's also so valuable to have a photographer who makes you both feel comfortable being in LOVE in front of them. During the photoshoot of just my husband and me, Crist and Hannah made us feel like it was just the two of us, completely in the moment, while at the same time hyping up all of the amazing shots they were getting and making us feel like we were the best couple they've ever worked with. They added so much to our wedding team. We can't thank them enough for being so flexible and for sticking with us through the craziness of Covid-wedding planning.

We sent them inspo pics ahead of time for the aesthetic we were going for and they knocked it out of the park.

I highly recommend reaching out to We The Blackwells for your photography and videography needs!

We couldn't have been happier to have Betsy and Justin capture our engagement and wedding photos…read more I had really high standards (thanks to Pinterest), and Essence Photography far exceeded them. After experiencing engagement/wedding photography, I would actually have to say that the pictures are NOT the most important part. The most important part is how well the photographers and the subjects (us as a couple) work together. We totally dug Betsy and Justin. They are both so low key and relaxed, but at the same time, they get stuff done. They pose you and also take your suggestions for what you'd like to see. They are open to suggestions, but are also professionals, so they know what works and what doesn't work. They have such great personalities and are so good at what they do that my whole family was so appreciative of them on our wedding day. Having photographers with a good personality and disposition is so important, because they help you feel at ease, and therefore, take more beautiful pictures! I also have to say that Betsy is so kind for working with me. I have a pretty direct personality, and sometimes that doesn't always go over well. She was very patient in working with me and always listened to what I was looking for and did her best to accommodate me. I was very appreciative of that! The pictures they took for us will last us a lifetime. They are so beautiful and are also backed by good memories of working with Betsy and Justin. Thank you, Essence Photography!!
