Im not sure how the first reviewers experience was SEVEN years ago - and maybe Megan wasn't all…read morethat and a bag of chips back then, but let me tell you she is now! She is an amazing photographer (and human being in general). She always keeps the photo shoot upbeat and happy - her enthusiasm and humor are contagious. She has all of the gadgets and gizmos and tricks to make your photos amazing. She has captured some of the most intimate and precious moments of our family in the past three years and I am so happy that we found her! She is amazing with kids and I joke that she is some kind of baby whisperer because they do whatever she wants. Seriously if you are within 90 minutes of her new studio (13885 Hedgewood Drive, Woodbridge, VA - Unit 237) then you need to make an appointment ASAP. You can even book her in advance. When we found out we were having another baby I emailed her before even telling family members we were expecting. She's just -that- good.

I will recommend Megan to everyone! We found Megan through a local group facebook page and were…read moreamazed by her newborn pictures. We had a newborn session, with our 5-year old son as well. She made us feel very comfortable (very accommodating, coffee too) from the second we got there. Her studio is amazing, the process was easy, and her pictures are the best. My wife and I are beyond pleased and will definitely be back for another photo session! Thank you Megan.

We hired Krysten for an engagement shoot and were very happy with our choice. She is sweet,…read morefriendly, creative, and professional, and my fiance and I both felt comfortable with her even though we'd both anticipated that the process of getting engagement pics taken would be awkward (glad we were wrong!). Krysten not only had some good ideas for poses, but loaded examples on her phone (which we especially appreciated since it was hard for us to figure out what to do with our arms, hands, etc.). She was receptive to our ideas, too. Afterward, we were surprised and delighted by her responsiveness and quick turnaround (we had some preview shots that night, and our DVD with pics from the entire shoot arrived just a week later!). Overall a good experience and a great value - I would definitely recommend Krysten for local photography services.

Round 2.... Yeah, I said it because I'm worth it . I stand…read more10 toes on everything I said in my first review. Doing a boudoir session with Kelly and her team gives you this feeling of accomplishment, power, control and of course sexiness. Wild for just some photos, but man after your complete and I mean complete workout with her you come back after lunch and get that moment: The moment in Bridgeton when Penelope makes a grand entrance at Lady Danbury's ball debuting her new look. The BRIEF moment in Ever After when Danielle enters the Ball with the wings Da Vinci made for her. The moment in New Girl when Nick and Jess first kiss. The moment in the Notebook when Allie visits Noah's home after several years to see if he's okay. That's the feeling you get when Kelly shows you your photos. That catch your breath, don't cry, WOW, I can't believe this is really real beautiful moment. But I mean if you don't want to feel that way go on to your bargain-basement Boudoir .

Just the process alone is so fun and worth the money. Having your hair and make up done by someone who has worked with celebrities! (I had James) and then a photographer who recognizes that you're not a model and will guide you through poses, sees you as beautiful and is so encouraging through the whole process. It is such a glamorous process that leaves you excited about you and planning your next trip. maybe my 40th?? but first I want one with the hubby :-)

I used Monumental Arts for my headshots, and I am so happy I did! If you're looking for a…read morephotographer who will take your headshot seriously and ensure it reflects who YOU are, you need K Michael at Monumental Arts! What really stood out to me about Monumental Arts is that his portfolio captures the personality of the person. It's not just another head in a frame--it's telling you something about them. He was prompt, responsive, and accommodating. I felt at ease immediately when working with K Michael. First, he provided guidelines for preparing for the photo shoot day (which were very helpful). Before the shoot, he walked me through the process and gave great instructions--he wanted it to be as comfortable as possible for me! And let me tell you, the results were terrific. He gave me plenty of options and a ton of flexibility with the backgrounds and poses. It was much better than the standard one or two corporate poses. He was even accommodating with specialty edits. When I got my photos back, I could tell he had taken his time to make sure they were perfect--and they absolutely were. Monumental Arts is truly a master at his craft, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants their pictures taken by someone who knows what they're doing!

They made the entire process so simple and stress-free. There's a lingerie boutique right next door, which made outfit planning incredibly easy, and hair and makeup are included--so all I had to do was show up and let them take care of everything. I had absolutely no idea how to pose, but Danielle guided me through every pose and made me feel confident the entire time. She and the rest of the staff were so kind, professional, and genuinely empowering. This experience is about so much more than just photos. This was a real confidence boost. I would 10 out of 10 recommend Evoke Boudoir to anyone considering booking a session.

We have used one of her photos for our holiday cards for the past 3 years and I wouldn't think to call anyone else!

Thank you Esmaralda for making our photo sessions so carefree and painless, we look forward to seeing you again this fall for another photoshoot - this year we'll do it with the fall foliage, can't wait!!! - Jenny and the boys
