Our 19-year-old is graduating this year, and we decided to do a few family photos, as well. We chose a scenic local park for the backdrop for our pictures. Rueben was laid back and easy going. As candid shots work best for our family, we gave him free reign to utilize his artistic skills and click away as he saw creative opportunities. Our boys took to Rueben immediately and loved the camera. Talk about photo bombing! Rueben got some great shots of both boys, our whole family, and even a few of just my husband and me. His turn around time for the pictures was SPEEDY! The photos were phenomenal; Rueben has a good eye. Although a handful of our pictures were posed, he was able to capture moments of interaction, emotion, and personality. Thanks so much, Rueben! #highlyrecommend #value #cherishedmoments

Melanie is amazing. She saved the day for my small, elegant beach elopement…read more I had been speaking to photographers for months and couldn't find anyone that I liked their work enough to hire who was available with less than a year's notice. In comes Melanie, who I happened to find by accident through a Yelp promo email. She had another shoot earlier in the day, but bc we were doing a later beach elopement ceremony and reception, she could do it! Signing the contract and working out all the details online and via email was easy. She sent me some paperwork to give her details and then we had a phone conversation to discuss and get to know one another. On the day of - she texted me, showed up exactly on time, and was a dream to work with. So friendly, so kind, so helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my family and was so easygoing. She posed us wonderfully and rolled with the punches when a few things didn't go as planned (it's a wedding, it's going to happen!). Absolutely professional. The photos we've been given so far as a preview are stunning and I can't wait to see the others. Everyone raved about how kind she was and how much they liked our photographer afterwards, and when we've sent a few photos, they've all been blown away. I feel lucky to have found Melanie, and her husband Chris, to shoot my day and would recommend her to anyone who asked me for any photos. If we need family portraits or special pics taken in the future, she's our girl!

100/10 RECOMMEND!!…read more Melanie is the absolute SWEETEST person! I found her on Facebook when looking for someone to do my maternity pictures 7-8 months ago!! My maternity pictures are STUNNING and I've never felt more beautiful or loved my body as much as I did then and it was my third pregnancy! My kids absolutely ADORED her and my 3.5 year old son remembers her as the lady who loved his dinosaur toys. I booked our fall pictures with her on my birthday for our second photography session with her! Those pictures are soooo good and my kids were so uncooperative! Melanie also was absolutely amazing with my kids that day too! I booked my daughters first birthday pictures and cake smash with her in June! I'm so excited for those pictures because I just know how absolutely beautiful they are going to be!!! Definitely book a photography session with her! It's very worth your money And she's such an amazing photographer and a sweet person!

This experience was just as wonderful, if not more! Our session this year was on this past Sunday, a super cold winter day and we were her last session of the day. We were so excited for the beautiful boho setup and my toddler couldn't wait to see Ms. Anika's horses. When we rolled up, we were greeted by her same warm smile and it felt like it hadn't been a year since we saw her. Anika instantly makes you feel comfortable, which is so refreshing! I enjoy talking to her during the session and in all of our correspondence. She started off taking some photos of my husband and son. My toddler was super distracted by Anika's kitty, which was roaming around. It was so cute, and I don't know how she still managed to get incredibly beautiful photos of him while he was so distracted, but she did. The set for this year was so beautiful, with a boho style egg chair surrounded by sparkling, lit Christmas trees and other Christmas themed decor. She got great ones of all of us sitting in the chair, of myself and my son, and of just him. Once we finished with the set, she allowed my toddler to meet her beautiful horses - and he even got to pet them! 3 days later, he is still talking about the horses on the farm and how much he loved petting them. We then took some photos in a grassy area, with the setting sun behind us providing the most beautiful golden light. All of the photos are just indescribably beautiful. It was even more special that I am pregnant this year (and showing!) so we were able to get some wonderful maternity shots. Thank you, Anika, for giving us these memories two years in a row! We couldn't be more pleased and are looking forward for many more shoots with you!
