But I am sooo glad that I did trenton and avey made the trip worth it alone. Their attention to detail and great and patient personalities made this an experience that I want to repeat. Im going to bring my daughter in for family photos. They really went out of their way to make sure my business photos were spectacular. Even when I said thats good enough, avey would step in to make some very great pointers and helped make the process so easy that I didnt even realize that I was rhere for 30 minutes. Ive had to take professional pictures alot for promotions and business but this is by far the best experience I have had. I was there with about 3 families and Aveys child presence is just amazing they were relaxed and warmed up to her very easily. If you need and want the best pictures your family is going to get in the coastal carolina area stop in and ask for Avey and Trenton you will absolutely be grateful you did.

We highly recommend Kimberly Ogden Photography! We initially hired Kim for a maternity and newborn…read moresession and we loved her work so much that we had her photograph our daughter at 3,6,9 & 12 months as well! Kim has captured our daughter's life from belly to one year old and we're so sad that we'll be moving away and won't be close enough to have her take pictures of our youngest daughter. She is a true professional and her work and the time she spends with you in her studio or on location is worth every penny!

The couples boudoir shoot was a wonderful experience, and I can definitively say that it was one of…read morethe most fun "dates" I've ever been on in my life. We had a blast during our session, and it was an opportunity for closeness and bonding. Our images turned out gorgeous and classy, and it was a challenge to narrow down the selection. In fact, some of the pictures turned out so fantastic I couldn't believe they were really me! It's definitely a confidence booster and I love being able to appreciate the still frames of my partner. We wanted our images to be 'electric' like our connection, and James absolutely nailed it. I think everyone deserves to feel sexy and confident, so a boudoir shoot is a fun and creative way to do just that.

If you're on the fence about hiring Erin as your photographer, this is your sign to leap OVER the…read morefence and call her up immediately and book her ASAP. She is PHENOMENAL. Clearly, she is beyond talented and her photographs are the REAL DEAL. I mean heck, just look at her portfolio on her website as well as her IG. Erin's photos for you - no matter what you hire her for and no matter how big the project - will be just as high quality as the shots you see on her website. Absolutely first class. Erin is also an excellent communicator and really works closely with you. She digs into things to figure out EXACTLY what you want and need. I've used Erin a few times for business pictures (nutrition and fitness) and she made me extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. I'm not exactly a natural when it comes to standing in front of the camera, but she was able to pull SO many amazing shots out of me! She also thinks really outside of the box. She's creative. She's NOT going to give you some generic photos that you see everyone else use or have. You're going to get something UNIQUE. I swear, at the end of your photoshoot, not only will you have some awesome photos and memories, but you'll probably want to take Erin out for coffee every single week just to hang out. It helps to work with someone who is engaging, friendly, and encouraging.
