Beware!!!!!!DISAPPOINTING SERVICE This review has been long…read moredue. I hired Kristen to help us build memories of our 1st newborn child. All I have to say is that we were CHEATED. Kristen had us pay her in full ($400) after the photo session which took place on September 1st 2014 and to date after 9 months, we have not received the prints despite several reminders. First few times she responded in delayed fashion promising she would deliver(and this was now December already). The prints never got delivered, neither were my emails or phone calls returned. As a photographer, I believe she is just average. I do not think I could rate someone's work high if she makes my beautiful child look less than what she is in reality. I am hoping that this review saves someone else from losing the BIG BUCKS for the service she will not provide. If I had a way I would give her no stars in this review. Dipti Agarwal

From the owner: Basically we are family photographers, but that doesn't mean we only create family portraits. There…read moreare actually two types of photography we kind of specialize in, Family Portraits and Senior Portraits. Family portraits are kind of a broad brush stroke at our studio. Of course we photograph families, often in or at their home. We have a really cool studio, big enough to handle nearly any size group, but we just love to work on location. And of course families also include photographing everything from maternity to babies, toddlers to teenagers. I love seeing and working with a family over and over again! Senior Portraits are unique unto themselves. I've been doing senior portraits since I was just barely older than a high school senior myself. Sometimes I forget how old I am because every year I get to hang out with seniors. I love doing senior portraits, we have the greatest time just being silly and having fun. And the portraits are always so cool too.

When I think back to our wedding day, I remember the most beautiful, seamless, STRESS FREE day and Erin played a huge, huge part in all of that. From engagement photos, to timeline, to props, posing ideas, and everything else in between, she was on. the. ball. She gave such great ideas and listened to ours and truly made our entire wedding (not just photos) vision come to life! Her communication with me leading up to the wedding made me feel more than comfortable going into our big day! No stress! I had a pretty rowdy crew of a bridal party and her and her hubby (HEY GABE) brought their A game along with a lot of patience, which I know they needed after our party bus! Fun fact: we forgot the rings at our hotel on our way to our ceremony and Gabe went back and got them for us so if you're lucky enough to have Gabe at your wedding, IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. We literally wouldn't have been able to get married without him. Just don't do what we did.....lol We received our photos in more than a timely manner, especially since October was such a busy month for Erin! I've been waiting and waiting to print off our favorites for when we move into our house in June and I cannot wait to do so! Print your photos, people! Not only is she an amazing engagement and wedding photographer, also does beautiful family sessions as well! I recommend her to everyone who needs a photographer and my brother and his family have had multiple family sessions done with her! Family, fresh 48 and 1st birthday! My husband and I are due in August and we can't wait get our family photos done! I know who I'm calling! Basically, if you're looking for a photographer, no matter what your needs are, stop looking and book Erin. I promise you will not be disappointed!

I highly recommend her work to anyone looking for baby, family, couple/engagement and wedding photography as her talent will not cease to amaze you for capturing life's most precious moments.
