Five years ago, I booked my first session with Tim because I needed a headshot for the jacket of my…read moreforthcoming book. I usually hate how I look in photos so I was a little nervous. Tim and his makeup artist immediately put me at ease and I had a blast at the photoshoot. When I received the link to view the photos a few hours after the session, I was completely blown away. The headshots were fabulous! I've used those headshots for the past five years and have received many compliments on them so when I needed a new headshot for the second edition of my book, I booked another session with Tim. The second session was as much fun as the first one, and the resulting photos were equally as fabulous. I highly recommend Tim -- he's the best of the best when it comes to headshots. And when you book your shoot, ask to book a makeup artist do your makeup....you won't regret it! :)

Tim is amazing. He's so fun to work with, hang out with, and he took (what I consider to be) the…read morebest picture of me in the past 20 years.

I went to Melody Yazdani for their Unfiltered project. On Instagram they made it seem like you…read morewould be "chosen" for the project after submitting an application. But it's clear to me, they just take whoever submits an application. The project was advertised as a free mini session (15 mins) with a 5x7 portrait included. I signed up and had to put a $200 deposit down. I was annoyed by this - since it was advertised as "free." I got to the studio and from the outside it looked a bit sketchy. I almost didn't go in. But, it was fine inside. I worked with Jake to do my session. He was nice, but he talked to me the whole time and wanted me to talk back. It shows in the pictures. I'm talking, my eyes are closed, and they are awkward. He wanted me to spin around and close my eyes at times. Very strange prompts. There wasn't much direction in terms of body position. I felt awkward. You can tell in the photos. He wanted me to lay in the ground which felt really strange to me. I felt like a little girl and I'm 40. Def not the right pose for someone my age! I went through the photos the next day with Elena. She was helpful. But, I have to say, I HATED most of them. They used a really low angle when shooting most of the photos and it made me look like I had a huge double chin. I also felt the extra "10 lbs" the camera added. We narrowed 150 photos down to 2 or 3 that I kinda liked, but didn't love. Then she started talking to me about pricing. I couldn't believe the costs!! They charge $599 for 1 digital print. ONE! Unreal. No way I was going to pay that for a mediocre photo of me. So, I just got the freebie. Then they said it takes up to 6 weeks and I haven't heard back yet. Not a good experience!!! It felt like a bait and switch. Here's this free session - oh JK - that'll be $600! I don't recommend.

The positive is pictures came out well. I do think overall it was extremely expensive. I also went…read morein under the unfiltered project.

When booking my wedding photographer, I talked to a few different photographers and within the…read morefirst two minutes of talking to Pamela, I knew she was the one. She took the time to ask what I wanted and really wanted to know what I wanted to get from my photos. She asked about my details and what style I wanted. She was extremely sweet and from that phone conversation alone I could tell she had a true passion for wedding photography. Pamela wasn't just my wedding photographer, she was a friend. I booked her about a year in advance and she checked in periodically throughout that year. We had several interactions leading up to the day (phone, email, in person) where she spent time helping me plan the ends and odds of my wedding, she even helped me come up with my wedding timeline. She also visited my venue to brainstorm ideas before the big day and even sent me an itinerary. She really thinks of everything! On my wedding day, Pamela & her assistant Sergey (I hope the spelling is right) were phenomenal. They got a ton of great pictures and came up with a lot of amazing ideas for photos. They both are extremely detail oriented. They made sure my train was perfect at all times, that Matt's tie was straight, you name it, they saw it. At the end of the night, they even offered to stay later to get additional photos. I am extremely grateful for those two. I then received my wedding photos within 2 weeks, not just your standard preview or sneak peak but ALL of them and on top of that they look AMAZING. Thank you Pamela! I can't wait to get another excuse to use you in the future!

We went with Pamela because she was consistently rated the #1 wedding photographer in the DC area…read moreby weddingwire, theknot, etc and because she was referred to us by a friend. We are so glad that we did! The pictures came out amazing and we hardly knew she was there. I would have paid twice as much for the album and digitals that we ordered. Pamela is very professional and will make sure you get every picture that you want. She also captured hundreds of other amazing artistic shots that I would have never dreamed of. Bottomline- if you are having a wedding in the DC area, or want photos for another occassion or corporate event, go with Pamela!

After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!
