I cannot say enough great things about Heather and her photography!Most recently, I asked her to do…read moremy personal headshots, and she absolutely killed it!! I was a bit uncomfortable being the only person in the photos, but Heather made sure to make me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. And the end result came with a great photo! Flash back to a few years ago she did all of the photos for my fathers 60th birthday party, we are a family of 7(not including spouses), so its pretty hard to get a picture that captures everyone well, but somehow Heather managed to do it, and quite well I might add. We have hired Heather multiple times and are always impressed with the quality of her work!!

I was still early in my pregnancy but figured it was the perfect chance to do a maternity shoot, and I'm so glad I chose her. I had a lot of ideas and a specific vision for the shoot, and she was so encouraging and open to all of it. She also gave great input on locations and outfits, so it really felt like we were collaborating. I felt completely confident she understood the assignment. The actual shoot day was amazing. My husband and I had so much fun--even though we were a little shy at first, Olesya instantly made us feel comfortable and hyped us up the whole time. She really went above and beyond to capture the best moments, and when we got our photos back... omg, they were the BEST pictures I've ever seen. I was honestly blown away. Hiring her was hands down the best decision. Every time I look at the photos, I can't help but smile. They're priceless and totally worth the investment. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

I am very type-A so I really appreciated the level of responsiveness and accommodation that Alex provided. She was very prompt with her email, I was able to discuss ideas I had months in advance, outfit options, and even shared my Pinterest board with her so she was very aware of what I was looking for and delivered just that! She also accommodated an outfit change and multiple locations. She spent just over two hours with us and did not rush through the photos at all, even offering suggestions or taking extra time to put us in certain poses or locations that would allow her a good shot. Our photos - digital and film style! - were delivered to us within two weeks and we were really happy with the results. She is clearly a talent and very good at what she does. During the shoot, she was so easy to work with and encouraging - always offering her honest opinion and making us feel happy and relaxed throughout. And if you can believe...she did all of that and delivered this level of service while being nine-months pregnant! I wouldn't hesitate to hire Alex again for any of our family shoots in the future! High quality photography and equal level of service! Thanks again, Alex!

I could rave for hours about this girl. But just take my word for it. She will take care of you, and you will be thrilled about having her capture what's important to you.

In summary, Angela stated she felt she was harassed by me and would not respond to my bullying tactics. Again, I was dumbfounded. Ultimately, she refused to return our $100 deposit and went silent on us again. In hindsight, I should have noticed that most of the Yelp reviews are over a year old. I don't see any recent reviews which should have been a red flag. I hope Angela is able to improve her operations and customer experience as she is clearly talented at taking beautiful photos.
