We initially hired Dream Life Photography for our Anniversary photos in Oct 2012. Not only was…read moreNicole flexible on location and scheduling, she took the time to get the best shot which we used for our Christmas Card. Another year later we reached out to Dream Life for our Maternity photos and Nicole just took pictures of our newborn son a week ago. Nicole really takes time to get the best shots, and works with her subjects - even a crying baby! She is a delight to work with and always delivers great pictures. Can't wait for her to take more photos of our son!

Amy captured so many special moments at our Wedding that I didn't even know I would want. She coordinated with our band and venue to ensure we were on time and able to sneak away for sunset pictures. Her fun attitude kept our wedding party ready for photos and enjoying the process! Amy's photos were beautiful from our Wedding Day and we could not be happier She sent them within 2 weeks and did an great job editing. I would recommend Amy to anyone! Thank you again :)

I can't say enough incredible things about Amy at Happy Gnome Photography. I've worked with her on…read morethree separate occasions. First, she shot our engagement photos. We wanted to do something a bit non-traditional. The whole idea started with wanting to include my Grandpa's 1932 Chevy... we knew it wouldn't make the trip out to our Boston wedding as I'd dreamed of as a little one, so instead it was the centerpiece of this shoot. Amy took this idea and ran with it... she provided balloons, brought great props, and even hooked us up with a really incredible mechanics shop for a backdrop. We had a blast, and the shoot turned out exactly how we'd hoped. I then went to Amy for a boudoir session. I told her I'd be in Milwaukee and was interested in a shoot, and within a few days she was setting up a whole shoot that would allow for a friend to do her own session, too. Amy made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire session. She had great shot ideas and backdrops, and even brought a few accessories to share. My now-husband got his little black book as a morning-of wedding gift... he was blown away! Exactly what I was going for. :) I saved the best for last: our wedding. The incredible emotion that is felt on your wedding day is something you wish you could feel forever; the next best thing is having photos that perfectly capture the day. I still get compliments on how fantastic our photos turned out...of course, we send all the credit to Amy... we just showed up for the pics! Amy was patient, professional, and so easy to work with. She knows how to communicate with a bride on her day, and she will do everything she can to make sure you get what you want. Amy thinks of the little things, like reminding us not to wear socks to our boudoir sessions (weird indents on our skin) or discreetly reminding me that if I'm putting on a strapless dress in a few hours, I should take my bra off to avoid the same marks. What a smart lady! Aside from the actual photos Amy provides, she also does a really great job with customer service post-shoot. She'll often share a "sneak peek" right after a shoot to give you a sense of what to expect, and we always got our photos much faster than I've heard others do from their photographers. She's very clear about what she'll provide and how you can use/print your photos: so important in making sure she gets credit where it's due and you get the photos you want. The payment process is easy peasy. My husband and I moved back to Milwaukee a few months after our wedding, and we plan to use Amy for every photo-worthy event that will come up (newborns, back to school, mini-sessions, anniversary parties, etc etc etc). She's that great. Book her now!

It was time to get senior photos taken for my daughter but I had no idea where to go. I asked for…read morerecommendations from friends but after reviewing their websites I knew they wouldn't be what my unique & artsy daughter would like. I found Gloss Photography Studio from a internet search and when I looked at the photos on their website, I knew I found the right fit. McKenna was my daughter's photographer. She made my daughter feel so comfortable and found some cool industrial backgrounds per my daughter's request. The finished product is beautiful!! My daughter LOVED the photos and can't decide which ones we'll have printed but we have a couple hundred amazing digital pics to choose from. I'm also very pleased with the photos. I have an enormous selection to choose from with different color filters and black & whites. I highly recommend this business.

We received a sneak peek of our photos within a few short weeks of our wedding! I had friends who got married weeks before us and are STILL waiting on their photos from different photographers. You also have the ability to download all of your photos without a watermark to do whatever you want with-which I loved! Jaci got us out of our comfort zone with poses and locations and created the most breath taking shots I have ever seen. We have gotten endless compliments on our photos and so many people have said they WISHED their wedding pictures looked as good as ours! The best thing we did on our wedding day was investing in quality and professional photos that will last a lifetime! We cannot thank Jaci and McKenna enough for playing such a big part in our special day. You will not be disappointed!

My headshots - one conventional and one 'dynamic' (to fit the mood of my freelance videography business) - showed the range that Stacy has as a headshot photographer and were exactly what I needed to promote my 'personal brand'. Beforehand, Stacy sat down with me to discuss what I wanted to convey in my photographs and also helped me choose the right outfit to match the vision we had of my headshots. She kept the whole experience calm & fun, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Stacy for anyone looking to have a high quality headshot done. On a side note, Stacy is also a great networker and a wealth of knowledge on small business planning and marketing. I learned a lot just chatting with her in between photos.

The best decision you could ever make!…read more Where do I start we met Caroline at a local wedding show called WedMke and chose to meet with her as her energy seemed to be everything we were looking for. She is extremely personable and took the time to get to know us where I would say we have grown into a friendship. After meeting with her we were sold as not only did her packages have the greatest value she was reassuring and excited to be able to capture our story through her lens. We did our engagement photo shoot and my wife and I were a little nervous but she walked us through poses and helped us capture the exact vibe we wanted and did I say she completely understood lighting with shooting people of color which was huge. She brought her brilliant Brazilian vibes to every shoot we had and helped to not only coordinate on day of wedding but to tame the crowds as we all know sometimes taking group photos can be a challenge. However she did that and so much more. She truly was the gift that kept adding as she even gathered up a special surprise for our wedding day making it even more special. She truly understands photography but you gain much more than just that with her. I think she easily has the best value in the city!

Kara did an amazing job with my professional headshot-style photo shoot…read more I wasn't even sure what I was looking for, so she took some time at the beginning to discus the traditional versus "new wave" style of business pictures. With LinkedIn and social media being such a big deal now a days, you better look profesh, and you better look good while you're doing it. She made everything stress free for me and guided me through the process. I'm not used to professional pictures, but she made me feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Tried on some different outfits with some different backgrounds at her studio (which is lovely and nicely decorated) The day was painless and casual, she had a quick turnaround process and gave me a stunning final result, including a great editing process for some general blemish removal, etc. Would highly recommend Kara not just for her professional photography skills, but her personality and her ability to make you feel at ease. She handles family portraits, weddings and adorable baby shoots, too!

She cleared her schedule and was able to beautifully capture my increasingly huge and more active, less sleepy infant. The preparation that went into the shoot was top notch from the heat being turned up in the studio so my baby wasn't cold to the wide variety of outfits, props, sound machine, and she even had a camping/outdoorsy background that fit our nursery theme! We BOTH felt we were in the best of care; my baby is normally fussy in the hands of strangers but Kara had a way of calming him to get all the cutest poses effortlessly, and I as a new mom was able to finally relax for a few hours. She is also a mom to two littles and was incredibly easy to talk and relate to. It was apparent she truly loves her career and genuinely cares about her customers and their family.. which is increasingly hard to find these days! I recommend her services to anyone looking for family photos; you will treasure them for decades to come.
