I came across Meliza Orellana Photography over a Facebook group and I instantly felt excited when I saw one of her recent photoshoot posts. I followed up on her website and felt even more connected. The informational pieces she touches on coupled with her talented photographs made me feel at ease with this investment. (It really is an investment). We were thrilled with the outcome. She is professional, easy going and made the whole process very comfortable.

We got both our engagement and wedding photos done with Jordan. We could not be happier with the…read morejob he did and will definitely recommend him to others. He made us feel comfortable the whole time, telling us what to do but also responding to our requests and allowing for a natural feel to the photoshoot. He is funny and not too serious - getting the photos was fun and stress-free :) Jordan's background in Graphic Design also turned out to be a huge asset. He didn't just colour correct our photos; he went the extra mile and got night shots and added some breathtaking effects. He's also there months down the road to make small edits to photos you want to have blown up. Out of ~330,000 photos submitted to the Shoot & Share photography contest, Jordan placed in the Top 100 with one of the photos he took at our wedding! We are honoured and so glad to have gone with him.

Jordan was great to work with right from the very beginning. As soon as I regulated a quote from…read morehim he was quick to respond and eager to answer any questions. I found other photographers took weeks to get back to me but Jordan would respond on a matter of minutes. Jordan arranged to come do a site inspection of our wedding location. I didn't need to ask for it - he offered it! He drove approx 2 hours in each direction to come meet me and check out the farm... and he brought his 2nd photographer! ! Jordan not only showed up early on the day of the wedding but had great ideas for staging photos. The wedding was on Saturday and I had my photos on Thursday afternoon!! My hubby, who hates posing for photos, relaxed with Jordan and was able to let loose a bit. He keeps telling everyone how awesome our photographers were and how funny they were. I truly believe one of best choices in the planning of our wedding was choosing Jordan! Thanks Jordan for a job well done!!

I had my maternity and newborn shoot done by Charlotte. She was recommended to me by my sister. I…read morebooked Charlotte at the end of my first trimester as she books up fairly quickly. For the maternity shoot, my first location pick was not available so we settled on a different location. The photos turned out amazing. Charlotte knew all the poses and angles for the perfect shots. For the newborn shoot, Charlotte and her assistant were very efficient. The setup was done according to the colour schemes we requested. Our newborn was fussy during part of the shoot, but Charlotte and her assistant did their best to work around our newborn's sometimes uncooperative behaviour as newborns do best when all you want them to do is sleep (ie crying, peeing on props, parents or photographer). The studio is located in Maple Ridge. There is parking in front of the studio. Some tips to help new parents: We made it a point to show up on time for the newborn photoshoot as it can be very difficult to leave on time with a newborn. I suggest to get ready early. We packed Charlotte's list of items she requested the night before so that we can focus on getting baby ready to leave our home on time on the day of the photoshoot. We gave baby a bath before leaving to keep baby awake before the shoot and then fed baby just before leaving our home so that the baby would sleep during the ride and during the first part of the shoot. I recommend Charlotte if you are looking for an experienced photographer for your maternity and newborn photoshoot needs. You can check out her website, Facebook or Instagram for samples of her amazing work.

I also sent her some gentle feedback after our session and she never responded.

Tanya is an exemplary photographer, whose experienced eye, impressive talent - and sensitive heart…read more- grant her clients beautiful, memorable portraits and photographs. My favourite portrait of my Pittie, Brando, was taken by Tanya, and she truly captured his wonderful, soulful self. He absolutely loved her! For several years, Tanya photographed the adoptable dogs at the Vancouver Animal Control Shelter, pro bono, at her studio in her former pet supply shop, The Dog & Hydrant, in Yaletown, Vancouver. As you can imagine, shelter dogs are often highly stressed, yet Tanya could always make them feel comfortable, and loved. These stunning photos were instrumental in garnering a lot of interest in the dogs, and led to many happy adoption "tails". She was also the sole photographer for a calendar of adoptable shelter dogs that raised several thousand dollars to benefit the shelter animals. Whether it's pets, people or products, Tanya's well-established photographic flair, and expertise, will give you tangible, gorgeous memories to cherish.

Tanya was so patient and all the dogs loved her. I now have a beautiful picture of my girl and I couldn't be happier. Soon I hope to do an actual full session with her. :)
