My husband and I were totally comfortable in front of the camera because Alison was so easy going and personable.

From maternity sessions to newborn shoots and first birthdays for both of my children, she has beautifully documented every milestone. Each photo she delivers is stunning, and they only become more meaningful as my children grow. Looking back at them always brings me so much joy. Truly, once you experience Cathy's work, it's hard to imagine working with anyone else What sets Cathy apart is her incredible attention to detail and organization.

Lastly, she's very honest about what's recommended and what's not based on the baby's attention span. I really appreciated that as a first time parent. In conclusion, highly recommend!!

My instincts told me that a photographer with prior experience at our venue would show up in the pictures themselves. Lo and behold, they did! Sarah was an impeccable director throughout our Welcome Party & Wedding + Reception. She has the golden finger with her camera and was able to capture us (we're camera shy), our family and our friends perfectly. Everyone was so impressed with her rapid turnaround on our Sneak Peeks. The joy of reliving our Wedding and being able to share these moments with vendors and guests is priceless. She was worth every penny and is even featured on the front page of Lido's Events Pamphlet. We cannot thank her enough for providing us with the best keepsake from our special weekend. We'll be reliving these moments for decades to come!

She was incredibly easy to work with, communicated clearly, and really listened to what we wanted. She helped us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the photos reflect that. They are beautiful, joyful, and full of genuine candid moments between us, which is exactly what we hoped for. Sarah is an incredibly skilled photographer, and the composition of her shots was breathtaking! She also brought such a calm, grounding presence to each event, which made the whole process feel easy and fun. We absolutely love our photos and recommend her 10/10!!!

The photo studio is located inside AR Galleria (the main galleria entrance was locked on Sunday afternoon so I had to enter through the side door via Cafe Lowell). [Parking]: Easy and free parking in the large plaza. [Reservation]: I was able to call and book a same-day reservation on Sunday. Visitors can also make an online reservation via the studio's website. Upon arrival, I scanned a QR code and signed a waiver before the owner started my 5-minute photo session. [Price]: $27 for 4 physical copies and digital copies to download via email (must be downloaded within 7 days). I did not initially receive an email, but I emailed the owner the next day about the download link and he sent a follow-up email with the link within a few hours (the email was hidden in my spam folder). The email included all the pictures taken during the session. The shop also makes photo keychains ($4+ each). The studio also offers 15-minute and 30-minute self-portrait sessions. [Studio]: While I was here for a passport photo, the studio mainly operates as a self-portrait studio where customers take photos of themselves. This small studio has all the props and camera setup needed to make it happen. [Process]: The owner had me sit on a chair and took 7 pictures. Out of the 7 pictures taken, I was able to choose one for him to print while the rest of pictures can be downloaded via a link in an email. It was more important to receive a digital copy because the US passport renewal process requires applicants to upload a digital photo rather than submit a physical copy. I was able to use one of the digital copies and now that same picture will be on my passport for the next 10 years before the next renewal timeline. [Conclusion]: Overall it was an efficient process and I was able to walk in and out within 15 minutes. However, it would be helpful for the studio to provide additional entry instructions on the website when the main galleria entrance is locked.
