Megan Yates recently photographed my family in a documentary style photo shoot. The shoot took…read moreplace in my home over a 3 hour period. The final product feels like a moving love poem to our crazy, beautiful life. The photos capture our reality in a way that posed photos never can or will. And to be clear -- these aren't "let's dress pretty and pretend to be candid" photos. She somehow was able to blend into the surroundings and just capture my kids being kids. She reassured me that we didn't have to look or act a certain way -- the beauty is in the imperfect tiny moments. Even when my kids starting fighting over a knocked down tower of magnatiles, she found a way to create art: you see a little brother crying, yearning to be just like his big brother; a big brother deeply saddened that he has to deal with his kid brother knocking down his masterpiece, but controlling his frustration and not hitting back; and a mom consoling both children in different but equal ways. I love the images now. But I think that some day, maybe 10 or 20 or even 30 years from now, it will be these images that I'll treasure more than any.

We highly recommend Megan for in the moment, candid, documentary style photos of your family.

I loved the representation of their work on their website and felt like they would be able to capture the types of images my husband and I were interested in. I put in a request online for information and heard back within 24 hours from Trina. She called me to answer questions and explain their packages. This phone call immediately set her apart from the other photographers I had reached out and I appreciated the phone call as opposed to a form email or the reiteration of website language into an email. Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, we weren't able to work with her for the maternity shoot but as my due date approached I made sure to contact Trina and schedule our newborn session. This is where she won me over all over again. In our conversation, Trina explained to me in detail how the shoot would work and what to expect. I felt immediately at ease when she explained that sometimes the shoots are challenging and if we faced any challenges with the baby, not to panic, she would reschedule to come back on another day. I thought this was amazing and showed her understanding of how to work with her subjects as well as how to manage new parents. She booked two dates with me in accordance to my due date and we planned to be in touch when I delivered. For the shoot, Trina came to our apartment (her suggestion and no extra cost) which helped us tremendously since the baby was only 6 days old! She was just as lovely in person as over the phone - very professional, careful, respectful and so gentle with the baby. She brought with her some props and a backdrop so once we decided on our set ups, we were able to start the shoot. I can't express enough what a pleasure she was to work with. My husband and I both felt totally comfortable with her energy - her skill set was obvious in her handling of the baby and when we needed breaks, she almost seemed to disappear to give us privacy and time to soothe the baby. I knew as the shoot was happening that the photos would be phenomenal because of how relaxed we all felt. Our proofs came exactly 2 weeks after the shoot (as promised) and they did not disappoint. Trina captured some of the most amazing images of our family. I truly loved them all. We are beyond thrilled with our experience as well as the results. I'm so happy that we decided to work with her and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do this type of shoot or other family shoots. I am sure we will work with her again soon.

WOW! Wow! Wow!…read more There are a LOT of maternity and baby photographers out there, but so much of what is offered is pretty cookie cutter. Monkey's and Peas really stood out! And boy are we glad we went with them. What they managed to capture of our family and our daughter was a really intimate view into our lives and her tiny magical world. All of the photos are just drenched in lovely ambient light and have a really dreamy cast to them that qualifies this time of our lives and our baby's. I've never seen my baby laugh so much for so long, Monkeys and Peas knew all the tricks! Both super professional and efficient with the time we had, which are two hard descriptives to apply when photographing babies, M & P guided us towards the right outfit choices, the right places in our home and a variety of lighting situations. Monkeys and Peas has gifted us with the most amazing photos of our daughter and our family!

Her fun, upbeat personality to keeping the pace lively as she made sure we and our son were comfortable throughout the whole process made the four hours we spent in her apartment fly by as we chatted like old friends. She never broke her rhythm of keeping our son cozy and us entertained with coffee and her large screen TV in her living room where she works out of. The end product? Breathtaking! Everyone is biased with seeing pictures of their own kids, but I have never heard so many compliments over photos--and rightfully so--they are amazing! I'd also highly recommend getting the metal portraits that hang on the wall; they are everything she said they'd be--light, easy to clean and no worries about tearing the canvas when you have to move them. My husband and our extended family are so happy with what Emily did, I'd recommend her to anyone with a 1000% guarantee. I'm so glad we will have these pictures to treasure for the rest of our lives! .

I was recommended to Jandae by a close friend of mine after she had done her newborn photo shoot as well. And might I say, these photos surely exceeded our expectations! Jandae is such a warm, professional and friendly person to work with. She loves what she does and her passion surely translated in the quality of the photos we received. Crying baby, no problem. Sleeping baby, no issues--she positioned my niece for the perfect shots without waking her up. I called her the baby whisperer because I was highly impressed with how she was able to work with whatever baby hiccup we ran into. Can't wait to work with her again on my brother's baby shoot in August! Thanks again for the wonderful memories our family will forever cherish! Best baby photographer in the trust TriState!

Natasha Singh ROCKS. When my husband and I met Natasha for the first time, we felt as if we had met…read morea long lost friend. I can't stress how important it is to like more than just the quality of the product that your wedding vendors provide, but also like the wedding vendor herself/himself - especially your wedding photographer who will be with you through all the excitement, inevitable stress, and happiness of the day. Natasha is the kind of person who puts the mind at ease - she doesn't add to the stress of a wedding, but instead actually diffused it for me. Her bubbly and genuinely caring personality is a rare find, if you asked me. Couple that with the quality of Natasha's photos and I would say she'd go unmatched in the industry. During our engagement photo shoot (which Natasha does to get a couple comfortable with being photographed by her in advance of the wedding), there were so many laughs which made for heartwarming shots, and there were also photographs which only someone with vision could capture. Natasha turned a small pond into what appeared to be a great lake with the angles and lenses that she used. She also wasn't afraid to do anything to get the perfect shot. We were out at Jamaica Bay in a swampy area and a giant centipede nearly crawled up Natasha's face. There were some screams and giggles, but Natasha carried on doing what she loves. Natasha and I met in advance right before our wedding to discuss all the details and review a questionnaire she distributes to all her clients so they can indicate what's important, what family sensitivities might exist, etc. She really goes the extra mile and it totally shows once you receive the final product! For our Hindu wedding, every single detail was captured in the most natural element, every step in the rituals so poetically documented through Natasha's photos - including my tearful eyes. For our reception, the photos were romantic but also so much fun and spontaneous-looking! Natasha stayed even as most of the guests had left - ensuring that she captured the most hilarious and action-packed shots on the dance floor. I cannot thank Natasha enough for being our wedding photographer and for her continued friendship even after our big week had come to a close. If you want top quality, creative, candid, funny, romantic, evocative, emotional, visionary wedding photos, consider Natasha. You will not regret it. Nidji Photography is worth the investment and then some!
