After our initial meeting with Ben, we knew he was the photographer for us. He was warm, honest,…read morefunny, knowledgeable, and helped me consider wedding questions I didn't know to ask! He was very supportive and flexible during multiple COVID-19 postponing and flexible with our micro wedding. During the day, Ben was patient and fun! Our guests couldn't believe how many moments and details he managed to stealthily capture-it seemed like he was in multiple places at once! Most importantly, our pictures were absolutely beautiful. Although our portraits were lovely, Ben really excels at candid photos that capture the joy of the wedding. One thing that really struct me about our wedding photos is how many real smiles Ben captured out of all of us. I can't believe both how many silly and sentimental moments he managed to catch and his style is so cool. I would strongly recommend.

Like every couple planning a wedding, my now-husband and I searched for a photographer that would…read moreprovide us with perfect wedding pictures that we'll proudly display for the rest of our lives. In our search, we came across a number of wedding photographs that were banal, sometimes bordering on cheesy, and we knew we didn't want that. Ben Schaefer's artistic sensibility struck us from the beginning. He describes himself as a photo journalist, and we think that's spot-on. Rather than projecting his personality into poses and ideas, Ben thought carefully about how we'd planned our day and which aspects were most important. And from the early photos we've seen so far, we are pleased with his careful eye and aesthetic sensibility. And to top it off, Ben is a joy to work with. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than perhaps any other person (aside from your new spouse), so it's important that you get along. Ben is fun, sensitive, and funny. We could not be happier with our experience and highly recommend Ben for your wedding or any occasion.

I can't believe how great it was to have Kristin do our wedding pictures! (And that I was this late…read morewith our review). I met her at LoveSick Expo and immediately liked her. She's very personable and it was soo easy to have her take pictures. We eloped and did our pictures separately and I was worried there'd be no emotion and it'd look fake. Instead, it was the most comfy I've ever been with a virtual stranger. Kristin is warm, engaging, and so enthusiastic. We were just racking our brains to figure out what other photo shoots she could do for us! The pictures looked incredible and it took less than 3 hours to get them back. Even my husband's mother was shocked at how wonderful they turned out, even without being photoshopped. We were outside, but somehow the lighting was fantastic. This is probably the best choice I could have made.

From our engagement session to the very last wedding dance, Kristin made our entire experience…read morewonderful. Kristin's creative vision and adaptability is unmatched. We could not be happier with our wedding photos even with the last-minute switch from outdoor to indoor formals (thanks, weather). She loosened us up and captured intimate details without making us feeling like we were under a microscope. Kristin's confidence, spunk, and and seamless planning allowed us to relax and enjoy our time rather than stressing that each shot was captured or that the right family members were included. Without a doubt, our best vendor decision of the wedding was going with her.

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. 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!

I booked a shoot with Nicole for my college graduation, and I could not be happier with the…read moreresults! To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. 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!

Mel and co were amazing from start to finish - organized, reliable, and professional. I felt so…read morecomfortable during my shoot and Mel gave me fabulous direction. The hair and makeup was also beautiful and exactly what I asked for. The pictures are perfect and Mel took into account the tone and vision I described to her. I would recommend this experience (with Mel, obviously!) to any woman who is even slightly interested - you will NOT be disappointed!!!!! I am so, so happy I did this and I will cherish these images forever.

I was nervous at first (having never done this before), but as we chatted and Marlo worked on my hair and makeup (both excellent ) I began to feel at ease.

I've never felt more confident and sexy.

I met Sharona as part of a workshop on Phototherapy and had the pleasure to be photographed by her…read more Phototherapy aims to help women with body image issues by capturing their body in an artful way in hopes of showing them that beneath their emotional troubles lies both an inner and outer beauty. I cannot lie and say that I have not at one point in my life suffered with low self-esteem and the desire to lose just five more pounds, but when I signed up for the workshop that was definitely no longer the case. Yet, as Sharona and I chatted about different things, and she eventually took my picture I was immediately at ease with her. She brought out things in myself I didn't realize I needed to feel, and when I viewed the finished work the following day I was amazed that she had helped turn myself into true art. It was not an ego boost, but a self-realization that I went through, and one I didn't even think I needed to go through. After my experience with Sharona, I am a firm believer in Phototherapy. And considering she is a kind, caring, and creative person, any clients who choose to work with her in this way will benefit greatly.

Simply the very best. Sharona (and Tim) made what would usually be a harrowing experience (having…read moremy author photo taken) into a fun morning. She took the time to get to know me, ensure we had a comfort level, laugh, and truly tap into the sort of image I hoped to project. The only problem was making the decision which of the many photos I liked (what a rarity!) to choose

We absolutely LOVE Ceilidh and hope she can take many more pictures of our family in the future! I…read morecould not recommend her more highly. We signed up for her first year baby package (which includes newborn, 6 month and one year family photos) and it was one of the smartest things we did- you know how hard it is to plan anything after having an infant. Ceilidh took Uh-mazing pictures, which honestly bring tears to my eyes because they are so beautiful. She has an uncanny ability to make your family look the way YOU see them through love tinted eyes! Not to mention she is one of the MOST professional, hardworking and passionate people I have ever worked with,, she goes ABOVE and BEYOND in every interaction. She threw in so many freebies and made us feel like we were friends rather than just clients. She's a keeper for sure!

What a GREAT way to differentiate yourself as a family photographer! Ceilidh worked with our…read moredifficult schedule to make time. We were difficult as we had to establish a good location first, as we were beginning a move to a not-yet finished house. She helped coordinate with us and our friends to make a time suitable for everyone. She worked with my wife beforehand on what types of photos she was "into," in case she did not only want the traditional ones. We told her we liked more candid, and amusing photos, and she totally went all in with us and assisted with poses, and jumping in with her own ideas. She also was not afraid to try new things, as we had a pose my wife saw online she wanted to do. A GREAT demeanor for our new baby, she timed everything where we got all the photos we wanted - a bunch of fun ones while awake, the traditional asleep ones, and some creative "fun" ones in between. Overall, obviously being a knowledgeable and professional photographer, we loved her creative way of adding to our style, her flexibility on meeting with us, even under a tight deadline, and her "anything is possible" attitude. GREAT experience, highly recommend, two thumbs up!!! ~ Nick & Jen

We originally hired Kate to do our newborn photos last year (April 2020), and unbeknownst to us...or anyone, they ended up being canceled because of the pandemic. It was a really hard time for us to be in a pandemic, with a newborn, as new parents, while isolated. Missing out on our newborn photos was a small but nonetheless heartbreaking loss for me. Kate was so graceful and kind, she offered alternatives and came to shoot us (from afar) outside at our home...those photos will be forever memorable. It's clear she loves her work, but its also clear she is a compassionate and caring human. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kate.

With Bella behind the camera, I was able to relax and be in the moment with my guests, and she really knoinccked it out of the park with the gallery she delivered. I could not possibly have asked for better photos -- they will help our family remember this day for generations in a beautiful, emotive way. Since we booked one of her "wedding" packages, there was also an "engagement" session included -- it was a great way to celebrate our family in a more casual way, and for my son to get comfortable in front of Bella's camera (he's at a stage where he HATES having his photo taken, but Bella made him very comfortable). Bella is amazing, and we will definitely be booking again.
