A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

I have…read moreactually been following Jenny since she first started (when I was in high school...) and always hoped she would be my wedding photographer someday, so getting to finally work with her felt really special, and we truly have zero regrets. We absolutely loved taking our engagement photos with Jenny, and that was when we knew we had made the right choice. We clicked with her immediately and felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Jenny truly went above and beyond for our engagement session, she arrived early and even hiked around the location beforehand to scout photo spots. Because of that extra effort, we ended up with some really unique and beautiful shots we never would have thought to take ourselves. Beyond photography, Jenny was always willing to help however she could, even with things outside of photos, like helping draft timelines and offering guidance throughout the planning process. During such a stressful time, having someone so thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the day run smoothly made a huge difference. By the wedding day, my husband and I were definitely camera shy and running on very little energy, but Jenny and her team made us feel completely at ease. They were patient, encouraging, and made the photography process feel natural rather than stressful. We especially appreciated how intentional Jenny was about making sure she captured the shots we wanted, while also preserving so many candid moments of our guests and family. She and her team made us feel genuinely special throughout the day. We also have to give a special shoutout to how amazing Jenny was with kids during family portraits. She somehow managed to get their attention and keep things moving smoothly, which made family photos far less stressful than we expected! Beyond being incredibly talented, Jenny and her team brought so much warmth, enthusiasm, and kindness to the day. We cannot wait to see the photos and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who is thoughtful, talented, and truly goes above and beyond. No regrets whatsoever!

Her use of light is unparalleled as is her use of nature as the background. Her photographs are majestic, expansive, soft, golden, magical and real. She captures great candids. We have 2 kids and that is always hard but she had several tricks up her sleeve to get the kids to look and she got some amazing shots of the whole family. I just want to frame all the photos she took and cover my house wall to wall =) She's also patient, easy-going and just a overall pleasure to work with. I never share photos of my family on yelp. But I'll break my own rule so you can see how amazing she is.

As with many other engaged couples, the pandemic had thrown a small wrench in our plans of a…read moretraditional wedding with a reception. Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)

Her work is a cut above in the emotional factor. The poses she chooses aren't typical and this results in real feeling coming out in the final product vs. stilted fake smiles. I did an email consult with her. I told her my most important thing was to get great shots of my 7 year old son & I. I missed out on newborn photos and I've always regretted that. I told Michelle this, and boy, did she deliver. I bought the premium package that came with a keepsake album. When I opened the lovely box it came in, I immediately was overcome with tears. She captured everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I needed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Michelle! I love my photos. I will treasure them for the rest of my life. ...She also offered styling advice for this style-challenged Mom. She suggested 3 websites to buy clothes from.

My husband is always hesitant about photos as well and hates getting them done, but Michelle makes it really easy for everyone involved, including my toddler! I can't recommend Michelle enough, especially those with kids as she made it quick and easy and the photos came out even better than expected! They are so beautiful, yet again! Not only was the shoot quick and easy, but we didn't have to wait forever to actually get our photos. Honestly, I can't recommend her enough, she's so sweet, easy going, and professional and really has a great eye for photos!! You won't regret getting photos done with Michelle!
