Chelsey is great! I'd never hired a photographer before. Chelsey was referred to me and I'm so…read moreglad she was. This was a photo session for my daughter's Senior year. Chelsey recommended locations and even brought a pop-up changing tent so that my daughter could have an outfit change during COVID, as the photos were taken outside and public restrooms and restaurants were closed. Chelsey kept me apprised of everything before and after the photo shoot. She is very thorough and took great shots. I highly recommend her.

Chelsey was wonderful to work with. From the get-go she was very responsive and anxious to help us…read more We did a large family photoshoot and the toddlers weren't exactly the easiest to work with. Chelsey was very patient and did everything to keep the kids happy. The photos turned out amazing and we were very pleased with her work.

After almost 6 weeks I called and was given the runaround about it not having arrived back to them! The finished product was not what I had hoped for---colors that were to gaudy and off. The cost was in excess of $100.00!! Travel to Nashville and find a REAL photography studio.

Some of the most important life events require a special and talented person to help capture those…read moremoments for you..... I discovered that such person when I met Heather at the Baptist Baby Fair a few years ago. I was blown away by the sample photographs she brought to display. Not only did Heather have her work to show off, but she has a relate-able personality and a calm presence about her. I had no idea how much that would matter until I was a crazed new mom with a one week old infant who fretted over EVERYTHING. Okay, so about 20 months later, I am still the nervous wreck of a mother, slightly relaxed...just a touch. But now, 20 months later, I have a beautiful collection of photographic art proudly displayed on just about every wall within my house. Heather is super easy to work with and you can tell that she loves being a photographer. She does it with such ease. When you have an 8 month old or more recently the 19 month old who absolutely doesn't want to have their picture taken, Heather doesn't bat an eye. She is so good with children, and the mommies too. She changes things up rather quickly in order to get the most out of the session. Her sessions are a combination of your home, her studio and outdoor locations, but she'll pretty much go anywhere you would like her to if you have something in mind. She has a wonderful selection of packages to choose from whether you are doing pregnancy photos, baby's first year photos or mommy and me sessions. In addition to infant/child photography she also does sessions for engagement, weddings and other special events in life.

Where do I even begin? We have known Dallas for years and when she decided to move to TN and pursue…read moreher photography career, we were thrilled! We came to her for our pregnancy announcement photos and then maternity photos. She DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I have never received so many compliments on what an amazing job she did. She makes you feel totally comfortable the entire time and points you in the right direction as far as where to look and put your hands (which is sooo nice). We have already booked her for newborn photos and will forever use her for our family photos. You will not regret using her, I promise!

My husband gave me a gift of a photography class from Taylor Alexander Photography this past…read moreChristmas. I was finally able to schedule it and take the class from Taylor herself this past March. Not only did she teach me how to use the equipment I already owned more efficiently, but she opened my eyes to so much more as far as the type and style of photos I like to take. Yes, this was a beginner's class, but now I have more of an overall understanding. I had been doing so many wrong things for so long. She is so down-to-earth and easy to talk to. I loved the way she explained everything in layman's terms in addition to having a great guide book she provided. She even offered help on choosing other equipment and gave me an example of what a photography release should look like. My only regret is that I didn't take the time to learn from her sooner. I hope to take her full mentorship class soon to learn more about editing and business. I would highly recommend taking a class from her as well as booking for photography needs.

We contacted Ken on very short notice to inquire about a unique family shoot. Much to my surprise,…read morehe said he had a date/time open which worked perfectly. He and his wife were beautifully professional and we truly enjoyed them both during the process. The pictures turned out beautifully and the one thing that we worried most about, Ken blended out giving us priceless family photos without a stinging memory. The only thing I'd have changed is some of the very fine details like power lines or random limbs that could be cropped out, but in the end, they're definitely authentic. Looking through his portfolio, we found his wedding photos are phenomenal, and our family photos turned out so well, we'd recommend him for almost any occasion. Thank you!

I really wanted to give them a good review because on the day if they were very easy to work…read morewith...I didn't feel awkward or rushed. So let me preface by saying that I completely understood that no shot is the same because no venue or scene is the same. But I was very disappointed in the final images with what was advertised in his portfolio. I hired Andrew not just for the pictures he took but for his editing style. It made me feel like he knew how to make things look good in this world of social media but still clear in detail for prints. Below are a few comparisons. As I said, I know the scenes are completely different but the attention to detail is still drastically different. The majority of the photos I received didn't seem to be edited to have a focal point, things like trash bags and sandals that could have been easily cropped were not and even at most the exposure, brightness and contrast from the raw images (even if that were done) were the only things that were retouched. I did add a picture that seems to have been retouched up to par with what was advertised on the portfolio but there are maybe 10/400. Now I know that there are some crazy bridezillas who leave illegitimate reviews. So before I even contacted Andrew about my concerns, I asked my day of coordinator (who is amazing by the way- if you're looking, check out Team Wedding) to review them to have get insight from a "wedding professional" as she used to be a wedding photographer. She agreed that the shooting and editing style that a majority of the pictures we received, were not reflected in what was in his public portfolio. When I contacted Andrew, I asked him if we could have access to the RAW images and a partial refund for the time to edit them myself (through photoshop and Lightroom, not just slapping an Instagram filter). He stated that he does not see how the images compared because the settings were different. I replied again stating that it was not the venue or the setting but the things left in the shot that anyone who isn't even a professional photographer could notice again referring to the photo where I am putting my shoes. We tried to even forego a refund for the raw images just to salvage something. He replied back still insisting that because the venues were different and that's why the photos were different. As I said, I wanted to leave a great review. But, unfortunately, this is a case of expectation versus reality.
