We had an amazing experience with Sister City Photography for our annual Christmas card photos…read more Daniela went above and beyond from start to finish. We chose to shoot in the South End to capture the beautiful brownstones and fall foliage, and the photos turned out even better than I imagined. Our situation was a bit tricky because we were working around a sleepy 6-month-old. Daniela kindly adjusted her schedule at the last minute so our baby could take a full nap beforehand, something any parent will appreciate! During the shoot, she gave us so much direction on how to stand, pose, and find the best lighting, which made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. People walking by even stopped to say how great the photos were going to look -- and they were right. The images came out stunning. I've received so many compliments on our Christmas card this year, and it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful of photos because everything she captured was perfect. Daniela truly brought my vision to life and beautifully documented our memories in Boston. I can't recommend Sister City Photography enough for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality family photos.

We could feel in every single picture that her style was full of love, candor, and artistry. From the beginning to the end, she was an amazing photographer, very professional and communicative. We were worried about being awkward and self-conscious around the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and helped us bring forth our true selves. She was also so great at directing us for different and creative poses and where to get the best shots. We received so many compliments on both our engagement and wedding pictures. We highly recommend her for any photography! We feel so fortunate to have found her and honestly couldn't ask for a better experience and more beautiful pictures. We would definitely work with her again!

I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

Marina took beautiful pictures of my family and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I…read morefirst contacted Marina via Yelp to request a quote. She responded very quickly and was able to book soon, which is what we were hoping for. In getting ready for the photo shoot, I messaged back and forth with her about what we should wear, to include sending pictures of our outfits. She gave good feedback and recommendations. I was nervous about making sure we looked good together, but not matching TOO well and looking cheesy. I felt really good about the outfit decisions after working with her, which made me confident in the shoot. We booked an hour long shoot and decided to start in our home and then transition outside. Now my family consists of my husband and me, plus our dog and two cats. Though our pets were not the most cooperative during the shoot, Marina was very patient and happy to work with us to get decent photos with all the pets (yep, even the cats). We ended up spending about 45 min in our home and then drove to a nearby park to take photos outside. Marina found a great spot to start and after taking several shots there, we walked around and went to a spot my husband and I frequented. We spent about 45 min there too, so the total time we had with her was about 1.5 hrs. She did not even mention the extra time and before we were done, wanted to make very sure there weren't any other locations or shots we wanted. We really appreciate the fact that she cared and wanted to make sure we were satisfied. The pictures turned out beautifully. We are very happy with the final product and even the unedited photos are worth printing!

IIn the immediate after-glow of wedded bliss, I gave Ashley a 5 star review. Now, almost 4 years…read morelater, I can see things more clearly and I was way too generous. To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed in my wedding photos. They're artistic and there are a lot of candids of wedding guests (like we wanted) but there are pretty much no good pictures of my husband and I where you can actually see both of our faces clearly, with no heads cut off (she cut his head off in 90% of the photos and he's not abnormally tall or anything). We decided recently to maybe frame a few of our wedding photos since we spent all that $ and when we were looking for options, we realized we had none. If I looked great in one, his head was cut off. If he looked great in one, I was sort of blurred out and fuzzy (intentionally I guess). Like I said, they're creative. But there are basically NONE that captured us looking terrific on our wedding day. Terrific scenery, terrific flowers, pretty cupcakes, nice shots of my dress or me having makeup applied, cute flower girl shots, some distant full length shots of us, a nice picture of me dancing with my dad etc. But not one good , close-up picture of me and my husband together. it makes me sad.

Are you looking for a funny, fabulous, feisty, and professional photographer to capture your…read moreperfect portrait? If so, I recommend Tara Jones to you with my highest confidence. If you're looking for hum-drum, definitely don't pick her. Tara did a portrait shoot with me and my wife which I needed for my professional profile. She picked the location, gave us some tips on what to wear, and put us at ease about the process before we even showed up. But Tara in person was even better. She made us laugh and relax and forget, in the best way, that we were having our photos taken. We had a great time, laughed a lot, and all the while she was capturing all sorts of hidden gems. And that's probably what sets Tara apart. Granted, I haven't ever had a professional portrait shot before, but what she captured from our time together was something I couldn't have anticipated. I feel like she captured my "best self" on the camera. I was thrilled with the results and I use the photos she took of me on all my most important profession online profiles. And I feel proud of it. I know that might sound a little weird. Since I rarely feel really great about photos of myself. But she really delivered the goods. And the best part was that I had many options to choose from. She gives you a whole gallery of photos from which you can choose the ones you like best. Then she does subtle touching up to bring it all to another level. I couldn't be happier with the end product. In fact, the whole process, which I imagined would be kind of awkward and painful, turned out to be fun and enjoyable. Personally, I think It's natural to be on the fence about something like a portrait. You're not sure if it's really worth the money, time, and effort. So maybe like you, I was on the fence with it for a while. But let me say now, if you are on the fence like I was, jump off. Tara will deliver the goods. Why, because every time I look online and see the picture of myself that she took, I feel great about it. I don't feel ambivalent at all. In my opinion, that's the kind of confidence and satisfaction that's worth the money. Because think about it, we all judge each other on first appearances. It's human nature. And now, I feel like whenever I make an important connection online, I've already put my best foot forward. In my opinion, that's priceless.
