Sarah is one of the best photographers I have ever had! My husband and I moved here about 9 months…read moreago, and we don't really know anyone. After searching through Yelp trying to find a great photographer, Sarah popped up. My husband and I were eloping, and I really wanted someone to catch the intimate moment between the two of us. We have been together since high school, and this was so important to me. He also hates getting pictures done, so it was nerve racking. But, after months of us talking, me making so many changes, it was perfect. She showed up early, and stayed way longer than expected, and we held some great conversations to make my husband feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond for us, and I will be externally grateful. She is also very well priced for the service she provides with all of the time she outs in the photos. Will be booking with her as long as I'm on the east coast.

If I could give Sarah ten stars, I would! Choosing her as our wedding photographer was easily the…read morebest decision we made for our big day. From the initial inquiry to the final gallery delivery, the entire experience was flawless. Sarah is the definition of a professional. Her contract was straightforward and easy to understand, and she was incredibly responsive and easy to get a hold of throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day itself, she was prompt and even arrived early, which immediately put my mind at ease during the morning rush. I'll be the first to admit that I am not "good" at having my picture taken... I usually feel awkward and stiff in front of a camera and my self esteem isn't the highest. However, Sarah made me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. She has such a gift for direction and used unique, creative poses that felt natural rather than forced. My guests and wedding party haven't stopped talking about how much they absolutely loved her energy; she truly felt like a part of the family while still staying incredibly focused on her craft. I specifically asked for a focus on candids, and Sarah delivered beyond my wildest dreams. She captured the raw emotion and "in-between" moments perfectly, and every single edit was breathtakingly beautiful. Her pricing is amazing for the high level of talent she provides, and to top it all off, she delivered our full gallery ahead of schedule! I had actually hired Sarah previously for a friend's maternity shoot, and after seeing her work there and now at my wedding, I am a customer for life. We are already in talks about my own maternity photos this coming spring! If you want amazing value, exceptional photo quality, and a photographer who makes the day stress free, hire Sarah. I had tears looking through my gallery and I cannot believe how beautiful I look and how well she captured my day. Especially the moments I wasn't able to see for myself. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Had a mediocre experience with Audra and 12th Street Portraits. She was 15 minutes late to our…read more1-hour photography session, didn't answer her phone during that time, and didn't seem overly apologetic that a huge group of people - including several young children - were left waiting on her. She did take some good pictures, but they could have been a lot better if she didn't suggest such specific poses for the adults (which felt and looked unnatural for some). My biggest complaint is that in the group pictures, she failed to notice that one person was staged much further away from the family than everyone else and that another person was in direct sunlight, washing them out entirely. This is something only the photographer can see from behind the camera lens and failing to do so had a real and negative effect on the quality of the photos. Lastly, it has been 2 months since my family's photos were taken and we are still waiting on her to edit out the other random people that were on the beach at the time and are in the background of the photos. Overall, this business has plenty of room for improvement.

She emailed right away and we were able to talk through email, texting and a quick phone call. What I loved about Erica was her fast communication through email/texting. At the time that I found Erica I was in California and I had my (now fiancé) speak to Erica a few times because of our time difference. Erica and Tony kept in touch with planning our session which made it super easy for me to just focus on outfits. Lol! I let her know I was looking for maternity & outdoor photoshoot. She exceeded my expectations. We confirmed date and time then she let me know the location few days closer to our photoshoot date. Erica certainly knows how to pose (Tony & I) since were not photogenic lol. We received our photos in a drop box pretty fast! She emailed me the link. Our pictures were edited as well. Edited to perfection. Overall - Erica is such an amazing photographer! Super friendly, super fun & social! My maternity shoot turned into an engagement shoot towards the end of our session. Erica has captured memories forever. I will continue to use Erica far as I am in Virginia but my fiancé and I highly recommend her!
