We found Ivy Rose Photography online. I hired her for the first time to come out and take pictures of my daughter twirling fire for her high schools pep rally. She was prompt, asked what kind of pictures we were looking for, etc., very professional. Photographing Baton twirling and fire baton was a first for Melanie, and I have to say she did a WONDERFUL job capturing everything we had wanted! We could not have been more happy with her, that is why when it came to taking senior pictures for my daughter we hired Melanie a second time! She knows people who are willing to come to your house to do hair & make up! HUGE bonus! My daughter LOVED that! We loved her wonderful and unique ideas for our daughters, session place and poses for her senior pictures. And again the pictures were absolutely beautiful! So, when it came to taking our family pictures there was no doubt who to call! Melanie came up with not only one but several places to choose from to take our family pictures at. She also help us pick out our wardrobe, to coordinate with the place we where taking our pictures. And she gave great direction to all of us. (Two adults and 17, 7 & 2 yr. old children). It is horribly hard for me to get all 3 of my children to look in the general direction of my camera, yet Melanie had so many wonderful pictures of all of us I can honestly say choosing which ones for our walls was the hardest part! She truly has a wonderful talent! Her pictures are absolutely gorgeous. We will continue to use her as our photographer to capture all of our family events. We have already referred her to several family members and friends and will continue to do so! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ivy rose Photography! read more
