Erin Nicole Brown Photography has worked with our growing family twice now, and each time has been…read morean absolute joy!! We first met with Erin for a mini family shoot for a neighborhood pool fundraiser. She worked hard to ensure we got some fantastic shots in the short time we had. She made the experience fun and enjoyable!! The shots she got were beautiful and really captured the joys of our crazy family. Erin also did our fall photos for our Christmas cards this year. Even though our 4 month old wasn't the most cooperative, Erin was able to capture the quick moments where he didn't look fussy and we appeared to be a happy and comfortable family. The pictures are perfection and flattering to all the members of the family.We will definitely be using Erin Nicole Brown Photography again for future shoots. We highly recommend!!

She is kind, easy to work with, and takes beautiful photos that look natural with gorgeous colors and the right amount of artistic expression. We have just had a sneak peak of our wedding photos, and we can't wait to see the rest! We have utmost confidence in Carrie and would highly recommend her to other engaged couples or to families wanting photos of their little ones. Her photos speak for themselves (they are gorgeous), but she is also very professional and was able to work with our winter wedding setting. Fabulous experience--thank you, Carrie!

Anna was a delight to work with and made it very easy to schedule our newborn photo shoot, which…read morecan be challenging given that nobody really knows when baby will come and most say photos are best before baby hits 10 days old--at which time they can be more fussy and less sleepy. :) Scheduling and filling out the release and contract was easy--I was able to sign everything on my phone in advance--very convenient when you are recovering and don't want to get on a computer. When we arrived, Anna was all set up, the space was warmed, outfits we discussed and props were ready to go, and she met us with hand sanitizer and was double masked. Anna asked that we wait to feed baby until we arrived so we would have a big sleepy window. We did and she was patient for this, and the needed diaper change! We also learned that she is a doula and extremely experienced with babies in all aspects of her life. Once baby drifted to sleep, Anna began getting her changed and into different scenes quickly. We had only planned for 1-2 hours (to get baby home and back in bed--but I was also still tired and recovering) and in just shy of two hours we did seven different outfits/backgrounds. Overall, this was an excellent experience and we were also allowed to take photos while she took some--which I appreciated because I could give family a preview...and I can't stop swiping through them! Looking forward to receiving the gallery from Anna and to our next session with her!

We hired Anna Isaiko and Olena Nykytovych as a photographers for our wedding that took place on…read moreOctober 22nd. Unfortunately, my husband and I are very disappointed with a quality of their job. We paid for 5 hours of their work: ceremony at the church, and reception afterwards. The pictures from the church turned out to be okay - there are nice pictures of two of us and a pastor during the ceremony, however there is no good group pictures with families and friends after the ceremony. When we were posing together with families, photographers did not make any comments regarding the postures and how everyone looked - we ended to have zero photos were all people are (at least) looking in one camera. We thought that if they don't make any comments, then everything looks good. However it turned out to be the opposite.. We'd think that professional photographers would want to take the best shot they could, but unfortunately, not in this case. The reception was in beautiful barn at Clyde's Willow Creek in Ashburn. The lighting in the barn is intimate and warm, also there was a fire place. Absolutely ALL pictures from the reception are low quality, grainy, and out of focus. We were posing in front of the fire place with the guests who wanted pictures with the couple, and were planning on printing out these pictures and sending them along with the 'thank you' cards. However, the quality of these pictures ruined our plans. We had only 35 guests on our wedding, everyone who was there is valuable and important person to us. As any couple at their wedding day we wanted to capture the priceless moments in pictures and share them with our friends and family. However, the poor job of photographers ruined this. Instead of apologizing and trying to resolve this situation the photographers said that the lighting on the reception was dull and tried to blame our guests that they were complaining about the flash that photographers used (they had only one small flash with them). Also, they were taking video and made a short (2-minutes) one for us as a present and tried to sell us longer video for $900. We did not hire them to take videos, and it seems that they put more efforts in taking the video than the pictures and now trying to upsell us the long video to get more profit (on top of the price that we paid for 5 hours of their work). The topping in this situation is that after I tried to talk to Anna and send her texts I was blocked without any response. When my husband and I called her from a different number she replied but then hung up on us while we were still talking. This disrespectful and rude behavior shocked us! I never leave bad reviews, but in this situation I do not have another choice. We paid 100% upfront, were easy to work with, and got bad pictures and unacceptable customer service as a result. Please don't work with this photographer if you don't want low-quality event pictures, poor customer service, and if you don't like to be treated in absolutely disgraceful, disrespectful manner.

I came across Nicole's photography page and decided to follow her. A few times, she posted on…read moreInstagram asking for models, and I volunteered to participate - about three times, to be exact. This could be a great opportunity to see if she'd be a good fit for us. Eventually, she responded, asking if I'd be available for a Wednesday morning sunrise session. I agreed without hesitation. The next day, she contacted me again, asking if we could do the session that evening instead. I said yes, but I needed to know the time. She replied with something vague like, "Ooo, I don't know... maybe 5 p.m.?" Her response felt wishy-washy, but I confirmed that 5 p.m. worked for me. By 3:00 p.m., I still hadn't heard back, so I followed up to check if we were still meeting at 5:00 p.m. and where the shoot would be. I began getting ready, as it took me a while to prepare myself and my family. Keep in mind that I'd also canceled my prior engagements and evening plans - it was a big commitment on our end. When 5:00 p.m. came and went without a word from her, I decided to give it another hour, hoping I'd hear from her while there was still daylight. But nothing. Regardless of being a model, I felt frustrated that she lacked the communication to tell me that she ended up choosing someone else for the session and gave the excuse that her "phone had died." After such a disappointing experience, I realized I wouldn't want to actually book with her, nor would I recommend her to anyone.

Grandparents, parents, and grandkids, the gambit of family members descending upon Occoquan, VA at Christmas. Although Jillian was at our wedding I never saw her in action with the kids. Wow! My niece is really camera shy (and like 3 years old), we all make fun of her school photo (not in front of her of course) because she looks about ready to kill the photographer. Needless to say, that photograph isn't one that can be sent to family members, unless it is to give them a chuckle. Jillian was like magic, instantly setting the little one at ease. Jillian even got her to sing 'Let it snow' at one point, Jillian singing along (which of course made Jillian one of the cool big people) although our favorites were of her Dad tossing her into the air in front of a particularly beautiful Christmas window display, fir garland draping the outside. Of course each couple had their own photos, and I with my Dad, my brother-in-law with his mom. Jillian even managed to get my step-mom involved despite a true hatred of her picture being taken, which means now she and my dad have some truly lovely photos of eachother. It was a fantastic day, fun, and as always relaxed because Jillian is the best. And now we have family photos and some wonderful Christmas time memories.

I would not recommend trusting Laura to be your wedding day photographer. She is a pleasant person…read moreand her work in a controlled, one-on-one environment such as an engagement shoot is good. On our wedding day, I was disappointed beyond words with Laura. I will start with the fact that she LOST more than an hour of photos. This included pictures of my husband going table to table during the reception taking individual pictures with our guests, our cake cutting, and our sparkler exit. How she compensated for losing our wedding photos... Six weeks to the day Laura delivered the photos as stated in the contract. At this time she was forthcoming about the loss of photos and offered an offensively low refund. Which I explained to her that we could not accept this for the following reasons--we spent more time taking pictures with our guests, going table to table, than enjoying the latter part our reception because we had many guests travel from distant places. And we wanted to send those pictures to them with thank you notes. The cake photos, sparklers exit, and group photos outside the venue are disappointing to be lost but all those photos of us and numerous guests at the reception was an irreplaceable loss. Her final offer was to refund 9.89% of our invoiced amount, not good enough. My other huge gripe with her wedding day performance was she had no command or direction over the photos with large parties at all. I would suggest that you would need to have a wedding planner to work with her because she is unable to take charge and work towards achieving the photos you list as the "must-have" shots. Laura excels in outdoor photos with natural light and no need for a flash, which look natural, and candids. On the final photos that were delivered, many of our indoor photos had no consistency in hues, warmth, and brightness. I was washed out in many of the "directed" indoor photos at our church, because of the flash. We brought this to her attention and she was very responsive in being willing to do the edits, but the edits were horrific, thoughtless, unusable changes.

There are many photographers to choose from in the DMV but the Team here is top-notch.

Laura is very kind, professional and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are well taken care of... even down to providing flexibility in the scheduling the headshot marathon. Her calm demeanor and sweet spirit made it a stress-free and positive experience for everyone especially those who did not enjoy being photographed.
