I can't even begin to express our never ending gratitude towards Ryan and his company Ideal…read moreImpressions! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding six years ago, and Ideal Impressions were the photographers at that wedding. I instantly fell in love with their work, and I knew when it was my time to get married they had to be my photographers! I contacted Ryan right when we got engaged, and Ryan has been phenomenal to work with! He took our engagement photos, and then when COVID-19 cancelled our wedding, he did a Coronavirus photo session for us! With both these sessions, Ryan's creativity was abundant! He has such a fantastic eye for photos and creative opportunities with lighting and backgrounds. Before our rescheduled wedding day even came, we felt like Ryan was already a lifelong friend of ours! He is always prompt to respond to questions, he is flexible with scheduling, and most importantly he truly got to know us as a couple! Ryan's work on our wedding day did not disappoint! THE PHOTOS ARE BREATHTAKING! There is not a single bad photo that he took! Ryan and his team captured every moment from all angles. If you are in search of a photographer for your wedding, you must got with Ryan and his team! I promise you won't be disappointed! Lastly, the photofusion video that Ryan made for our wedding is a video that I will cherish for the rest of my life! In three and a half minutes, he captured the love and happiness of the day! I'm sorry for the long review, but Ryan and Ideal Impressions deserve the best review possible! They will forever be our photographers, and I can't ever thank them enough for the blessing they are to us! We LOVE our photos from Ideal Impressions!

We hired Ideal Impressions for our wedding 9/17/16 and our rehearsal dinner boat cruise…read more The team was absolutely fabulous and made our event even that much more special. We were thrilled at the speed, detail and command that they accomplished on our wedding day. We so very much appreciated them capturing the moments that will be forever treasured. They were helpful in providing me with direction and reassurance during the whir of the day. They accommodated to changes and went over and beyond to make it wonderful. Everyone was amazed at the speed and highly professional quality they provided at our wedding when screening our montage video. I was astonished at how they were able to capture the best moments and make everything look won We would happily point our friends and family their way any day for meeting photography needs but their reputation far exceeds my capacity to direct traffic as it's a no brainer that this team is the best in the biz already. Again, we so much appreciated the magic touch the team provided to us on our day.

I hired Liz as a 40th anniversary present for my parents. By far the best present I've given my…read moreparents to date (and a gift I will most likely never be able to match again...until the next time we have family pictures taken by Liz). Liz was a dream to work with from the first moment I contacted her...responding to my email sent via her website contact form within 15 minutes. Not only was her response quick, but she was very upfront will all the important details regarding her event coverage (hours, rate, deposit, final payment, image disk, online gallery information, etc.). From the moment the contract was signed, Liz started the planning process. Having never covered an event at our party location, she proactively reached out to the venue and scheduled a walkthrough of the grounds. It was evident in all our pictures that she had thoroughly walked the grounds and knew exactly where and when to get the best shots. Liz kept in constant contact throughout the planning process - asking important questions to give her a better feel for the day's events...was flash photography allowed at mass, was there going to be a cake, favors, etc. Liz did all the planning up front to ensure she didn't miss any pictures the night of the event and I can assure you she captured it all. Even though I was at the event, I didn't capture nearly all the beauty with my eyes that she did through the lens. I can guarantee, I will never let anyone else behind the lens to capture our family's memories. I only wish I had known Liz when we got married. To all future brides and grooms lucky enough to hire her for your event....you will not be disappointed. In addition to event photography, Liz provides family, child, and pet photography. We will definitely be using her for all our photography needs from here on out (and I'm sure if you use her once, you will feel the same).

Liz is outstanding! First of all, prior to even hiring her, I was impressed by her timely reply to…read moremy inquiry. During the session, she was personable, easy-going and both flexible in listening to my suggestions as well as offering her own. She was also very generous in trying to get as many usable and workable shots as possible, as opposed to merely just cutting us off right at the 30 minute mark (particularly since she was working with my 2 unruly toddlers and infant). Lastly, to cap off an already positive experience, she had our teasers up the next day (amazingly fast!) as well as our full album within a week. Impressive! Her prices area also more reasonable in comparison to some of the others I researched, particularly the mini-portrait session. Given all this, we will definitely use her again. Plus knowing how well our pics turned out, I'd happily pay her for extra services. Thanks, Liz!

Brittany is amazing! She is truly a talented photographer. We bought a family mini session that…read moreincluded 7 pictures, but we couldn't pick which ones we loved more so we ended purchasing the entire gallery! She is great with communication and was super easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer.

We hired Brittany Qualls-Molleda photography for my daughter's wedding, and I cannot fully express…read morehow disappointed I am with what has happened. About 10 weeks after the wedding, we emailed Brittany to see when we'd receive the final photos, and after some unnecessarily heated back and forth, Brittany "complied" with her contract by literally picking the most meaningless and most unflattering photos for our final set, including multiple duplicates of the cake and other insignificant shots, and left out the most important pictures of our family, the wedding party and the bride and groom. We have been trying to work through this with her for weeks but she has been combative and spiteful (and now is unresponsive), claiming that we've caused her distress. She clearly decided to ruin our memories of the wedding by refusing to provide the photos we posed for, asked for, and have even expressed a willingness to pay extra for - all while hiding behind her contract and claiming she technically met her obligations to us. As the mother of the bride, I will never be able to recoup the memories of one of the most important days of my life, and that pales in comparison to my daughter who will never be able to share her full wedding photo set with her family and friends. Brittany refuses to cooperate with us in any way, shape or form, and has stopped responding to our messages. At this point, we've made it extremely clear that all we want is our full picture set and we're willing to work with her to get to that resolution. I take no pleasure in writing this or any other negative reviews but I feel I've been left with no other choice - if nothing else, I hope my sharing this experience can prevent someone else from making the mistake of trusting Brittany with their most important events and memories.

I was searching for a professional photographer to take new head shots for my business card and…read moreLinkedIn. The problem was that cameras really don't like me, so I needed part photographer and part magician. Or so I thought. Netasha took on the challenge, and I could not be happier with the results. She captured some terrific shots, and I was able to select from several options. No magician needed--Netasha is so talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great finished product. If you are looking for a consummate professional and terrific results, search no further.

Netasha was absolutely professional and personable at the same time. She made my husband, son and I…read morefeel totally at home while at the shoot. She calmed my baby boy so well due to her experience and made me feel so relieved to have chosen an amazing photographer/mother to do the shoot. I couldn't recommend a better photographer in the area bc she was an absolute pleasure to be around and my pictures came out AMAZING!! You will not regret hiring her to do newborn pictures!

My Husband and I were lucky enough to book Shannon Z Photography for our wedding in December 2021…read more She was amazing. She communicated well with me prior to the day. She has great communication day of with getting everyone into positions for family photos. She knows how to pose you and pick the perfect lights for the shots. Our wedding was on a friday and she got all our photos to us by the following Tuesday. Every shot was perfect and captured the guest as well as our emotions. What was even better is that she is discrete and didn't interrupt any of the ceremony or reception while photographing. Overall we were very pleased and grateful with how she captured our wedding day. We will definitely be using Shannon Z Photography again.

I can't say a enough about Shannon!!! She captured our wedding day to the fullest extent. Every…read moregoofy dance move, every precious moment, she documented it all. Her organization and time management at the venue was also IMMACULATE. She photographed each bride (same sex wedding) and gave each of us the same amount of detail and care! She also helped with our engagement pictures where she loved on our dog and helped us both feel comfortable in front of the camera- so comfortable that I ended up booking a boudoir shoot with her as a gift to my wife on our wedding day-and wow, those pictures turned out SPICY. Thank you so much, again, Shannon!!!!!

It doesn't hurt that the pictures turned out fantastic! One of our friends surprised us with the Blackhawks mascot, Tommy Hawk, showing up at the reception. Michelle, my wife and I were probably the only three people who weren't in on it, and she nailed the surprised look on our faces perfectly. We actually booked her for puppy portraits after the honeymoon, and she managed the action shots with a running pooch just as deftly as she captured a flying bouquet. I know who we will be contacting for baby announcement photos and newborn portraits when the time comes!
