As professionals, Jaqueline is detailed oriented, providing lots of pre-shoot planning advice and follow up with me to make sure that the photoshoot was what I was envisioning. Regardless of my crazy work/life schedule, Jaqueline made sure she was flexible. Jaqueline's work is clean, natural, but also timeless. Her composition is simple at first glance, but magically attractive. The focus will always be YOU and only the necessary elements needed at the time to create the perfect sentimental moment with intriguing elegance. I have awesome shots that Jaqueline curated, but there were also many shots of unexpected, yet priceless moments captured even without my awareness. Pick Jaqueline as your photographer. Stunning photos you will get is a sure thing, but the great shooting experience she will bring is truly incredible and wonderful. And lastly, photos of memories that will last a lifetime!

Audrey Tarris Photography was offering holiday portraits, and since we didn't have any photos of…read moreour entire family together, it felt like the perfect opportunity. From the very beginning, Audrey was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. She met with us ahead of the session to go over options, including photo ideas and clothing recommendations. She even followed up again before the shoot to make sure our outfit choices would work well with the holiday backgrounds. The entire experience was calm, welcoming, and completely stress-free. Audrey was especially wonderful with our child, who sometimes needs a little extra time to warm up. She made the session fun and enjoyable for all of us, which made a huge difference. After the shoot, we were invited back to select our photos. Audrey created a beautiful slideshow of all the images and then took the time to go through them with us one by one as we chose our favorites. She also helped us decide how we wanted to display them, offering options like ornaments, framed prints, metal prints, and more. When the finished pieces arrived, we were able to bring them home right away--and we absolutely love them. We're so happy with how everything turned out, and it means so much to finally have family photos that include everyone. Thank you, Audrey! We are truly grateful and will cherish these memories for years to come.

I cannot recommend Audrey enough! From the moment we first inquired about a photoshoot with the…read moredogs, she made me feel absolutely comfortable. When it came to taking photos, she made me feel stunning and so comfortable in front of the camera. What really blew us away, though, was her patience with our dogs. She treated them like her own and captured the most incredible shots of our 'furry family' without ever making us feel rushed. If you want a photographer who is talented, kind, and a total dog-whisperer, look no further!

I want to start off by saying that Annina is lovely and friendly. Her work is beautiful and this is…read morewhy we picked her for our maternity photoshoot. With a toddler, the studio setting would be better than being outdoors. She's also priced reasonably for what she offers. Here some reasons why I am knocking off one star and also if it helps others. The pros first: Pros: - She has a wardrobe you can select different style of dresses from. You can even go before your maternity session to try them on. - Good selection of dresses - Super friendly - When it comes to booking and locking in your date, she's very prompt at responding. - Priced well for services Cons: In the past I've worked with photographers (maternity and not) and I'm used to organized plans. Such as sending questionnaires ahead of time for looks/style/inspo boards of desired outcome. Annina doesn't offer that which I was a bit surprised about. Only found out about background colors day of shoot. Luckily, I came prepared with reference photos of poses I wanted since she asked during the photoshoot. The system of selecting photos was a bit difficult. It took us severe days to drill down 100 or so photos to 15. She takes about 14-20 business days after you select the photos to send you the edited photos. Ours came at exactly 20 business days after selection. There is an option to add comments on the photos you selected. Looks like these comments were ignored since the change wasn't done on the photo and I wasn't told why it wasn't. I had to text many times about the photo album we purchased. From the day I asked, it took ten days to get a final response on look of album. There was a lot of "I'll send something later today" but that turned into 5 days later, twice. I had to keep asking about it. May have gone longer. Production of album was 3 weeks. It's not sent to your house (other photographers I've bought albums from send it to you) I had my sister pick it up since her place is far from me. Also, by this time, it had been 9 weeks, more than 2 months since day of photoshoot. It was a long wait ... When I texted her I would come to pick up the album, she gave me times but when I told her I would go x day during the times she gave me, she responded later and gave me a new time window for pick up. It could have been that I was on my way with her original time and she wouldn't have been there. All in all, she does have good work and she is super friendly. But due to the long wait time to get photos, slower communication after photoshoot was complete, I'm not sure I was completely content with the work. That said, many people did love the photos. If you like to get your photos in a short amount of time, like organization, upfront communication, love mood board and options to talk about your vision beforehand, this might not be it.

We love our photos. Such ease scheduling and the efficient communication from start to finish was…read morejust incredible! Highly recommended!

I tried to reach out to multiple photographers but some didn't get back to me and some were only doing home shoots. I reached out to Essie and she was very responsive and was able to accommodate our photo shoot very quickly. On the day of the shoot, our baby had a period of wakefulness and Essie was so patient. She really is the baby whisperer. As for the photos, all I can say is Wow! they turned out amazing! I'm so glad I found her. I will definitely book her again for a milestone session.

For my first kids' first birthday shoot, I went to a private photographer in her home. My daughter…read morecriiiied and criiiied, we had to come two days in a row because it was so crazy. So when my second daughter turned 1, I wasn't exactly wanting to have that experience again. A friend told me about LaLa and I figured it couldn't hurt to try. Their prices were reasonable, and the experience was easy. I took both kids for the birthday package, since you get an extra shoot along with the cake smash. We brought our own cake. I looked through a few of the backgrounds at home prior to coming, but I didn't write down what I wanted so there was a bit of a scramble trying to pick something on the fly when we arrived. It would be nice if they told you to have the backdrops picked out prior to visiting. The shoot was easy and our photographer was nice. I wouldn't say she was over the top enthusiastic like what's described online. No "smile engineers" that I could tell. In fact, it was only us and the photographer in the room. The whole shoot took about an hour. The cake smash is very messy, so make sure to bring wipes and a change of clothes for after you're done. You have to come a few days later to pick out your photos. They put together a nice video that brought tears to my eyes. Then you get down to business and start eliminating photos like it's a game show. The staff member stays with you so there's a little pressure but it's fine. I get that they don't want you taking photos of the photos. This is where you gotta keep your head on straight and not overdo it with the extra photos. Stick to what you agreed to and it won't cost an arm and a leg. Honestly, you're never gonna print out 20-30 photos. Pick out the best ones with some variety and call it a day. I think they were a little disappointed when I didn't pick any extras, but that is the package we agreed to. Overall I thought it was smooth and successful, unlike my experience at a private photographer.

I am OVERALL satisfied with the photos and service I received for my daughters 1 year cake smash…read more-but will provide info for anyone using them in the future as it wasn't perfect and few things I wish I'd known 1. Payment - when you book there really isn't a clear info on pricing or what's included with the session. You get a payment link after submitting an inquiry and it's for $99 but then says it's a deposit and pay full amount $449. I assumed the whole session was $449 but I paid the deposit and emailed direct about inclusions. They are very quick to respond which was good. The $99 includes the session plus 5 downloads and one backdrop change or family photo. That's great so I opted for that. Of course, when I was on site and saw all the cuteness, I opted to buy the whole package which is the additional $350 to equal $449. I received my photos in 2 business days. Loved that. I was told by the photographer it included a print and other perks like future discounts but then told it didn't include a print. 2. Onsite. - Studio is cute but you are literally put in a room. They do warn when you arrive is when they build the set, but I'd add for them to warn that you're in a small room, so you're ready to entertain the toddler in a small space with any one you brought while this is happening. Small room, toddler, set pieces - yeah gets tight and hectic quick - I assumed (like other session's I've done that are for littles) that the photographer would have props to make her laugh. She did say she had them but was pretty adamant my mom do the job behind her while I stood to the left to be sure she didn't fall etc. I think warning people to bring a companion for this would also be beneficial as some don't want that, but this photographer did - I asked if she had a more sun props to add to my theme and she said no and suggested AI - I found that odd - When she was setting up the floor she told us not to worry about the scuffs on the ground that they wouldn't show in photos, but they did - not huge deal but still - Besides poses I would have wanted guidance more from the photographer that we probably should do the alternative backdrop or family pic BEFORE getting messy with cake. She didn't mention the other inclusions until I remembered after cake, so it was rushed and messy -The backdrop was put together fast. I thought I'd get to pick out props as the email made me think that. Most photos the You are my sunshine and flowers I wanted were cut off so theme was just lemons which isn't what I went for but again, still cute photos I would just need to speak up next time to say what I'd want to be sure to include or to say I want more floral or sun props etc. 3. Cake - Pretty quickly after booking The Purple Cake Lady reached out to get the cake ordered for the smash. I described what I wanted, and she used AI to generate 3 options - all similar with a light pink color. I told which one I wanted and that I wanted to add a cake topper and a number 1 added in hot pink. She said she would send me a picture of the cake before the shoot. Total was $40 for the cake plus $5 for topper. - She didn't send the photo. -Cake was all one color so you hardly saw the #1 -No cake topper *the sun included was in the photo and not the topper discussed - Cake was super hard to get into even when we had it sitting out since we arrived - It had small hard sugar pieces I assume which are not good for a 1-year-old to potentially choke on so was not easy to let her go at it - Super sugary (I guess I should have asked for non-sugar and no fondant and not assumed they would know what's best for a 1-year-old) - I didn't say anything to the cake lady as in the end is what it is and all's well that ends well but I'd suggest asking for non-AI versions, sugar free butter cream cakes and not frozen. Also, a photo of the topper

A Photographer Who Has Become Part of Our Family For the…read morepast 10 years, we have had the absolute pleasure of having our family photographed by someone who has become so much more than just our photographer. She has captured some of the most important and beautiful moments of our lives--from newborn sessions and "Watch Me Grow" milestones to birthdays, Easter, Christmas, school pictures, and so much more. All six of my babies have grown up in front of her camera, and looking back at all the memories she has captured is truly priceless. She is incredibly dedicated to what she does and takes so much pride in her work. I can come to her with an idea in my head, even if it seems impossible to explain, and somehow she brings it to life better than I could have imagined. She has such a creative eye and puts so much time, effort, and heart into every session. Yes, photography can be pricey, but with her, the process, the experience, and the memories are worth every penny. You aren't just paying for pictures--you are investing in memories that your family will have forever. After 10 years, six babies, countless milestones, and so many sessions, I couldn't imagine anyone else capturing our family. We are so grateful for her talent, dedication, patience, creativity, and the love she puts into her work. Thank you for capturing our family through every season and milestone. We truly appreciate you more than you know!

Madeline was our photographer and she did great…read more I came here with my family, including my three month old baby and honestly, the photos turned out perfect. The only suggestion I would make is to bring your own props if you need to get a babies or animals attention, bring your own squeakers or whatever is best. Also be prepared. My son is seven and we practice him holding the baby weeks prior to taking photos. We scheduled the appointment during the time I knew my baby would be happy. Know that is the best to work on your posture as well. Sit up straight, chin down and be mindful of leg position. They will not point all of this out as they are not actual professional photographers. We've had our picture taken by professional photographers, and it's much more expensive so the price that you're paying is still worth it here. in terms of buying photos here it is very expensive so what I would suggest is getting the digital download and printing them somewhere else. Also for the digital download, I bought it online after the fact and was able to use two coupons which took $100 off so for my whole session, membership and photos it was $118. I got the session on Groupon for $13. My husband bought the membership for $40 and the digital photos were only $65 online. My husband got the membership because we are most likely going to come back and use them. It's all about being prepared at this place
