I am OVERALL satisfied with the photos and service I received for my daughters 1 year cake smash…read more-but will provide info for anyone using them in the future as it wasn't perfect and few things I wish I'd known 1. Payment - when you book there really isn't a clear info on pricing or what's included with the session. You get a payment link after submitting an inquiry and it's for $99 but then says it's a deposit and pay full amount $449. I assumed the whole session was $449 but I paid the deposit and emailed direct about inclusions. They are very quick to respond which was good. The $99 includes the session plus 5 downloads and one backdrop change or family photo. That's great so I opted for that. Of course, when I was on site and saw all the cuteness, I opted to buy the whole package which is the additional $350 to equal $449. I received my photos in 2 business days. Loved that. I was told by the photographer it included a print and other perks like future discounts but then told it didn't include a print. 2. Onsite. - Studio is cute but you are literally put in a room. They do warn when you arrive is when they build the set, but I'd add for them to warn that you're in a small room, so you're ready to entertain the toddler in a small space with any one you brought while this is happening. Small room, toddler, set pieces - yeah gets tight and hectic quick - I assumed (like other session's I've done that are for littles) that the photographer would have props to make her laugh. She did say she had them but was pretty adamant my mom do the job behind her while I stood to the left to be sure she didn't fall etc. I think warning people to bring a companion for this would also be beneficial as some don't want that, but this photographer did - I asked if she had a more sun props to add to my theme and she said no and suggested AI - I found that odd - When she was setting up the floor she told us not to worry about the scuffs on the ground that they wouldn't show in photos, but they did - not huge deal but still - Besides poses I would have wanted guidance more from the photographer that we probably should do the alternative backdrop or family pic BEFORE getting messy with cake. She didn't mention the other inclusions until I remembered after cake, so it was rushed and messy -The backdrop was put together fast. I thought I'd get to pick out props as the email made me think that. Most photos the You are my sunshine and flowers I wanted were cut off so theme was just lemons which isn't what I went for but again, still cute photos I would just need to speak up next time to say what I'd want to be sure to include or to say I want more floral or sun props etc. 3. Cake - Pretty quickly after booking The Purple Cake Lady reached out to get the cake ordered for the smash. I described what I wanted, and she used AI to generate 3 options - all similar with a light pink color. I told which one I wanted and that I wanted to add a cake topper and a number 1 added in hot pink. She said she would send me a picture of the cake before the shoot. Total was $40 for the cake plus $5 for topper. - She didn't send the photo. -Cake was all one color so you hardly saw the #1 -No cake topper *the sun included was in the photo and not the topper discussed - Cake was super hard to get into even when we had it sitting out since we arrived - It had small hard sugar pieces I assume which are not good for a 1-year-old to potentially choke on so was not easy to let her go at it - Super sugary (I guess I should have asked for non-sugar and no fondant and not assumed they would know what's best for a 1-year-old) - I didn't say anything to the cake lady as in the end is what it is and all's well that ends well but I'd suggest asking for non-AI versions, sugar free butter cream cakes and not frozen. Also, a photo of the topper

For my first kids' first birthday shoot, I went to a private photographer in her home. My daughter…read morecriiiied and criiiied, we had to come two days in a row because it was so crazy. So when my second daughter turned 1, I wasn't exactly wanting to have that experience again. A friend told me about LaLa and I figured it couldn't hurt to try. Their prices were reasonable, and the experience was easy. I took both kids for the birthday package, since you get an extra shoot along with the cake smash. We brought our own cake. I looked through a few of the backgrounds at home prior to coming, but I didn't write down what I wanted so there was a bit of a scramble trying to pick something on the fly when we arrived. It would be nice if they told you to have the backdrops picked out prior to visiting. The shoot was easy and our photographer was nice. I wouldn't say she was over the top enthusiastic like what's described online. No "smile engineers" that I could tell. In fact, it was only us and the photographer in the room. The whole shoot took about an hour. The cake smash is very messy, so make sure to bring wipes and a change of clothes for after you're done. You have to come a few days later to pick out your photos. They put together a nice video that brought tears to my eyes. Then you get down to business and start eliminating photos like it's a game show. The staff member stays with you so there's a little pressure but it's fine. I get that they don't want you taking photos of the photos. This is where you gotta keep your head on straight and not overdo it with the extra photos. Stick to what you agreed to and it won't cost an arm and a leg. Honestly, you're never gonna print out 20-30 photos. Pick out the best ones with some variety and call it a day. I think they were a little disappointed when I didn't pick any extras, but that is the package we agreed to. Overall I thought it was smooth and successful, unlike my experience at a private photographer.

We especially enjoyed their use of black-and-white photography. It gives the portraits a distinctive, timeless quality and made the experience feel different from a typical photo session. We also really appreciated that there was never any pressure throughout the process. Everything felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. We're very happy we chose Townsley Portraits and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for something a little more unique than a traditional portrait experience.

From the very first interaction, Photographers of Las Vegas set a standard that never once wavered…read more Their communication leading up to the booking was clear, timely, and genuinely thoughtful and every question answered with care, every detail handled with precision. There was an immediate sense that this was a team that took their craft seriously, not just as photographers, but as professionals committed to delivering something meaningful. On the day of the event, that professionalism translated seamlessly into action. They arrived prepared, composed, and fully in sync with the flow of the day. What stood out most was their ability to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive, capturing moments as they naturally unfolded, rather than forcing them. Behind the lens, they demonstrated not only technical skill, but an artistic instinct that elevated every shot. Lighting, angles, timing ... it all came together effortlessly, resulting in images that feel both authentic and cinematic. But what truly sets them apart is the emotional weight of their work. These aren't just photographs, they are memories preserved with intention. Every smile, every quiet glance, every fleeting moment that might have otherwise been missed was captured and transformed into something lasting. When I received the final gallery, it wasn't just a collection of images, it was a complete story, told beautifully from beginning to end. The care and effort they invested didn't stop when the event ended. That same level of dedication carried through to the final delivery, where each photograph felt thoughtfully selected and expertly refined. These are images I know I'll return to for years, decades even, and still feel the same emotions as if it all just happened. Photographers of Las Vegas didn't just document an event, they preserved a lifetime of memories. And for that, I'm deeply grateful.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Chez and Veronica!! The experience was better…read morethan I could have imagined! Veronica was so helpful, from our initial conversation to the day of the shoot. I arrived to a warm welcome with a private studio for changing with the perfect lighting and complementary snacks and drinks. (Having a glass of wine definitely helped with my nerves LOL). Her attention to detail was immpecable and ensured my posing, hair, clothes were picture perfect. I didn't have to worry about making sure my hair was laying right, fly aways, or my dress sitting right. Chez has a great eye and was so friendly and great to work with! He took his time and paid attention to every detail to make sure the lighting, angles and my facial expressions were perfect and it showed in my final photos! Thank you Chez and Veronica!! I will definitely be coming back whenever I need professional photos done.

Dale emailed me and called me promptly to chat and get familiar so we'd know what to expect. He arrived early and just started snapping away! He remembered everyone's names and was so friendly, we were immediately comfortable around him. He had great ideas and was creative with his shots, I didn't feel super posed or awkward. He happily accommodated all of the requested shots I had in mind. He followed us to the chapel and kept up in the crazy vegas traffic. He had the pics uploaded by Tuesday for us to view, we were so happy with the results, he was taking pics the entire time, there were a ton of candid shots that I had no idea he got, it was a wonderful surprise to see them all. Ten stars for dale!! You will not be disappointed.
