Rebecca photographed me a year ago and I was so happy with the portraits she took. She is a true…read moreartist when it comes to her craft. The way she captures color is like nothing I have ever seen. Also I am not the most comfortable person in front of a camera but Rebecca made me feel comfortable which for me is very hard. Once I received my photographs I couldn't believe that she captured me in all my silliness and made me look really great. People still comment on her photos that she took and always comment about how amazing they are and they can't believe it's me. Just recently I wanted to have pictures of my Godson taken and there was no question in my mind who I wanted to photography him. The pictures came out beautiful. She captured all the innocence, beauty and tenderness between him and his glowing mom. She even captured a few moments with my Godson and me. The difficult part is narrowing it down because they are all amazing. Thank you Rebecca!

I recently had an engagement photo shoot with Rebecca and it was probably one of the most fun and…read morerewarding experiences I've had in a long while. When I first met my partner, I frequently thought about how nice it would have been if someone was around to capture the sweet, tender and loving moments between the two of us. After years of being together, that has finally happened! We were both a bit nervous about this at first because neither of us have really been part of a photoshoot before. We were wondering if it would feel natural or forced, if we would find the photographer intrusive. But after a few short minutes of talking with Rebecca, we felt that we could be ourselves and navigate the shoot with comfort, ease and excitement which is not only a testament to her talent, but also to her amiability and her ability to connect with people on various levels. Rebecca is an incredibly creative person which is evidenced by the composition of the photos. She took photos of my partner and me in Red Hook, Brooklyn, which hosts an amazing contrast between natural beauty, industrial grittiness and interesting colors. In two hours we took photos in a variety of backgrounds, including the pier by the water, cobblestone roads, old and abandoned subway cars, industrial warehouses and street corners. The result? Amazing. When Rebecca, my partner and I first met, we talked a lot about what kind of feeling and aesthetic we were looking for in our photographs. We talked about an ambiguous combination of candid shots, pastoral elements, an urbanscape and a good amount of grit. She understood perfectly what we were looking for and enhanced its greatness with her talent. My partner and I are incredibly happy!!

The photos turned out phenomenal. Despite the cold, the unexpected change of locations and my inexperience in front of the camera, I am so pleased with how they turned out. Not to mention, Chris and Sarah were delightful to spend the day with while they photographed away! I highly recommend these two for any event. They are energetic, fun, creative and driven individuals who really CARE about the end product that YOU want. Their patience and expertise make them stand outs, and the final results speak for themselves (and they say, "awesome. A+. would hire again.").

We could not have been more thrilled with Sarah and Chris from beginning to end. We were initially…read moreexcited to speak with, and then book, Sarah and Chris caught our attention for their positive, informative, inclusive, and quirky approach. After one meeting, we knew we didn't need to meet with anyone else. Our excitement was validated with our engagement photos, which came out amazingly and felt completely natural to us. Sarah has a way of putting you at ease and helping you concentrate on your partner and the moment rather than her camera. In an era where taking pictures is so ubiquitous as to seem a throwaway, these pictures were something special. The wedding day itself was an amazing experience for us, and the photography was just fantastic. Sarah and Chris were amazing at capturing all the little moments throughout the wedding day, even ones we never knew about or saw, all while remaining so unobtrusive that one guest referred to them as "ninjas." To top it off, we got three great surprises from them: one at the wedding that we'll keep to ourselves, a sneak peek barely more than 12 hours after our time with them ended, and then when the pictures were all ready for us less than 3 weeks out from the wedding. We understand that your mileage may vary, and their contract says 4-6 weeks, but even that would be perfectly reasonable given the quantity and quality of what we received. Overall, Sarah and Chris were amazing partners in our wedding celebration, and we felt extra good that part of their fee was donated to charity. We can't recommend Smitten Chickens enough!

Amy beautifully captured some our last days as a family of four when I was 8 months pregnant with…read moreour third baby. We will treasure these photos forever. She was so professional and easy to work with from start to finish and I highly recommend her for any maternity or family photo shoot. From scheduling to outfit/color coordination to scouting the perfect location, her pre-shoot communications were so helpful. The day of the shoot felt like a fun family activity. As a Mom to young kids herself, Amy's playful nature and fun personality meant my kids were giggling and having so much fun. She captured our kiddos sweet smiles and the love our family has for each other so sweetly. We are so grateful to have these photos.

The quality of her photos is truly amazing and we couldn't be happier. It so happens that both the day of our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day were very hot and humid.

He has a very laid back personality and was great at capturing candids during the reception.

I was supposed to propose to my long-time girlfriend this morning in Central Park, but the photographer we were originally going with cancelled last minute, so I was in a scramble to find someone for today. I reached out to Erica, and although she wasn't able to do the actual photography since she's away, she nonetheless managed to save the day. In my panic of trying to find someone, she calmed my nerves and said we'll find a great photographer to capture these very special moments. She asked her photographer friends, and low and behold, we found one. Truly, a heartfelt thank you to Erica for helping out someone on a very special day!

We LOVED her. She's shot our wedding at the Metropolitan Building in Long Island City…read more She was very responsive from the beginning & met with me in person a year out from our date. We discussed the type of wedding we were having and what kinds of photos we'd like. We had to change the times for our photos and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She was a delight to have at the wedding in general -- when our planner was busy, she answered planner-like questions and helped direct us. She was sweet and creative -- best of all, the pictures came out fabulous! The caterer fell short in a lot of ways & I was a little worried it would show in the photos but she did a wonderful job capturing a variety of creative shots which made use of everything that went right that night. I would recommend Erica to anyone.

We are so grateful to have had Hannah as our wedding photographer. She photographed our friend's…read morewedding, and they raved about how fantastic she was. And we can now confirm: Hannah and her second shooter more than lived up to the hype! Hannah is kind, generous, and sincere. My fiancé and I were both so nervous about engagement photos, and she made us feel so at ease. Her directions are always optional and gentle. On our wedding day, Hannah and her second shooter Brae were punctual, creative, and thoughtful. They gave wonderful suggestions of where to shoot and how to pose (especially wonderful given how chaotic the day can be). They also knew when to melt into the background to get candids. When we took family photos after the ceremony, she was sweet yet firm as we wrangled folks together. I'd also like to give her kudos for how well she handled one of my relatives with special needs who needed some additional assistance during picture time. She's simply wonderful. I can't recommend her highly enough!

10 Things We Loved About Hannah 1. She is professional, but…read morestill a real person (kind, funny, perceptive, and NOT stiff or bossy). Our whole family felt she and her second shooter were very organized and felt completely comfortable with them. And she was of course punctual, stayed the whole time, was always taking photos) 2. She's creative and gives good direction. We were so nervous to have our photos taken for our engagement shoot, but she gave us things to do that weren't "pose like this" more like natural actions we could work with and she got some AMAZING shots of us just being us. Side note: You HAVE to do an engagement shoot, there is no question we would have had the same bond with Hannah for our wedding. She makes fantastic use of light. 3. Turnaround for photos was TOP NOTCH. We got our photos before all of our friends did that got married around the same time. We were the only couple on our honeymoon that had a sneak preview. 4. Candids! If you love a stealth photographer that somehow is there for any awesome moment during your wedding. Hire Hannah. Every time I thought, "oh i wish i had a picture of this" either Hannah or Lindsay (2nd shooter) were right there. 5. Payment was easy, her gallery platform is very user friendly, and signing the contract was a snap. 6.Her pricing is incredibly reasonable for the product you get. Don't try to expect the same quality and pay less from anyone, trust me we looked. 7. Her style is timeless. No super foggy cheesy photos. Crisp, clear, elegance in every shot. 8. Pricing for prints is very reasonable. 9. She loves what she does and even though she has a bunch of clients (because I follow her IG) you feel like you are the only one. 10. HANNAH IS A BOSS. Hire her. Now.

Posing for photos doesn't always come naturally to everyone, but she made the process so relaxed, fun, and gave perfect direction for creating photos we will truly treasure forever! After this photo shoot we knew we'd be using her to capture all of our big life events going forward! She took precious and joyful photos when my daughter turned one. And probably most meaningfully she took poignant and meaningful photos of my entire family after my mom was diagnosed with cancer, several months before she passed away. Elke captured my mom's beauty, love and resilience, and I will forever be so deeply grateful to her for this. 12/10 recommend Elke for all of your photography needs. She is truly an undiscovered gem!!
