Penny is a dedicated and hard working individual. She has years and years of experience doing what…read moreshe does and she is very straight forward and makes sure she gets the job done. You never have to feel lost or confused on your busy, sometimes stressful day. She will make sure you get the results you want. We met with her twice before our June 2018 wedding and she met us halfway between her home in RI and our home in CT, armed with plenty of her work to show us ad help us customize the perfect package for our wants, needs and budget. Her packages are really good deals as far as what they include and what they cost. I was amazed by the price compared to many other highly priced photographers. Her work is quality and she gets it done quick. We had previews the next morning, and the full album in less than 2 weeks. You get full access to all the photos online, a flashdrive with all the pictures, and the ability for your family and friends to logon and get download pictures too, among any other idea you may come up with that you want to include in your package. I had taken ideas from other photographers packages that were more expensive, and Penny was able to include those ideas in ours for the better price. You can't go wrong with using Penny for your photography needs.

I can honestly say that Faith and her husband were the reason that our…read more wedding went so perfectly, was so organized, and made my wedding FAR better than I ever expected!! She is 110% organized, professional, and the kindest person you will ever meet. She is extremely talented, creative, and passionate about every single thing that she does. She makes the process much more than just taking photos for your wedding, from the initial stages of planning, to spending many sessions reviewing what was important to my husband and I, and Faith getting to know both of us, I felt that she should have been a guest at the wedding by the end of it! She had so many creative, realistic, and beautiful ideas, and I had my complete trust in her in everything that she did. She created a timeline that helped our day run smoothly, without rushing, and making sure that we got every single shot that I had asked for. She was extremely responsive, and sent many encouraging texts and check-ins during the planning process. She goes above and beyond in the presentation of her work, and in everything that she does. We got our photos back within 6 weeks, and got waaayyy more than we expected. Each photo is magazine worthy, beautiful in both its color and dynamic. She was able to truly capture the full emotion, feeling, sentiment of the day, and captured many special moments that I would never have seen otherwise. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and organization is one of a kind and I am truly honored to work with her. I am beyond pleased with HOW much she truly went above and beyond to make this day so perfect, to truly listen to what was important to us, and in getting to know my husband and I SO well. I do not have enough kind words to say about her, except she will absolutely make your wedding the best day ever! :)

I have hired Faith twice--once for my wedding, and another time to do professional headshots for my…read morehusband and me. I am obsessed with her photos; she is just beyond talented. At our wedding, she was SO good with all of our guests--but was an expert at making herself invisible when she needed to--and always knew where to find the perfect shot. For the headshots, my husband and I are not natural-born models and had no idea how to pose or anything, but she was ready to go and helped us out with that too. On top of being talented, though, she's just an awesome person. She has a great sense of humor, a ton of patience, and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable.

We went to Hilary for my daughter's senior pictures and we could not have been happier with the…read morefinished product! From beginning to end, Hilary was so professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic with my daughter, who isn't always body positive. The scenery she chose and the variety of photos to select from made it so hard to choose. I loved the pictures so much I hired Hilary to take my professional headshots. I highly recommend Hilary to anyone looking for a great experience and photos.

Extremely professional, he had a range of locations available to go shoot at and brought props and ideas to really bring the shoot to life. My fiancé and I were just lost in the moments laughing and kissing while he worked. He is a natural at guiding your poses to get the best lighting but honestly in the moment it all just felt so natural and organic. We were delighted at how the pictures came out and I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for my next shoot once its time to grow the family.

From months before the shoot, Sara was incredibly responsive and helpful in planning the perfect timing and location for our family, which included two energetic three-year-olds. During the session, she was professional, fun, and put everyone at ease. The final photos turned out beautifully, and Sara was a huge help in guiding us through the process of selecting the best images for a canvas cluster and a storybook album. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!

Ages ranging from 22 months to 80, we were NOT an easy group to work with I assure you. Yet, with Sara's skillful direction, artistic eye, professional expertise, positive attitude, and calm manner, over 100 shots were taken in an hour. Sara created a natural and as stress-free as possible experience for our family. She directed us quickly on posing with her expert eye and overcame the short attention spans of the children. She made us feel comfortable with her good direction and patience to get the best results. Thank you, Sara! We highly recommend Sara Zarrella Photography, an award-winning, nationally published studio. I am grateful that my daughter did the research to find her.

Allan was fantastic! I accidentally ended up interviewing over a dozen photographers. Didn't mean…read moreto, just kind of got carried away. We chose him hands-down over all the others. Why did we pick Allan? First, we loved his blended photographic style of 'lifestyle' and 'documentary'. It gave our pictures a candid and spontaneous "in the moment" perspective with an approachable and relaxed feel. Allan was responsive to all of our communications, very easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable of the geographic area and actually recommended the spot we used for the wedding as well as for subsequent picture locations. He was friendly, prompt, flexible and affordable compared to others who wanted 2-3 times as much and whose pictures were not as good as Allan's. He wasn't the least expensive or the most, he was right on the money (pun kind of intended). He provided us with hundreds of final pictures (this was fantastic!), posted them on a web gallery and made the whole event very easy for us. And, captured it beautifully. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone wanting to capture an important event in a natural, lifestyle type format - he definitely has the eye and is a great person to work with!

My headshot photo shot was waaay more transformative for me than I could ever have imagined! My…read morehair and makeup was the best I've ever seen in my life and it looked totally natural and not overdone at all. That alone shot up my confidence 100%. I was so anxious about the shoot as I hate getting pictures taken of me...I always have hated seeing myself in pictures. Olga made me feel relaxed and I just 'trusted the process'. I had no idea how important proper lighting was and a quality camera for good pictures!!! The results blew my mind. I could not believe the head shots were me!!! I have been viewing myself distorted all these years. Using my new headshots, my dating life on online dating skyrocketed and I was overwhelmed even with all the dates I started to go on. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone doing online dating. Also my professional life has advanced with my new photos for my websites, business cards, and LinkedIn profile. But the best outcome from the photo shoot was a sense of confidence in my looks that I never had before. I started styling my hair from time to time, started buying well fitting clothes that I liked, wearing a little makeup here and there, and enjoying this newfound sense of self that was there all along and I just didn't know it. All the decades of therapy and self affirmation crap I worked on doesnt hold a candle to the radical positive transformation I had from my shoot at Studio Newport. If you are someone that doesn't like photos of yourself, I guarantee you'll find photos you'll love after working with Olga. Thank you Studio Newport

She's also very very affordable and is very aware of what angles and looks make people look the best. She is very friendly and approachable. I have referred her services to 2 other people and they are just as impressed. Last year my son was terrified of Santa and she was able to make it a comfortable and fun experience for him and he didn't cry at all. Our pictures were fantastic and everyone asked me where we got them done. We even got a cute family picture too that I still have on my living room end table. Not to be outdone from the previous year Lisa managed to capture the best photos for our session. I don't know how she does it. What's so great is that all photos she takes she puts on a CD along with a release allowing you to print the photos however you wish. If you are considering getting professional pictures done just go here. Seriously, go now, you won't be sorry. It's the best quality at the best price. Plain and simple.
