She's patient and loving with kids and families and you can truly tell she does her job with joy and happiness. I'm giving her a 3 star review due to the fact that her communication isn't the best. She takes a long time to return a simple text message. Other than that her work is excellent.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Anthony was…read moreprofessional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is saying a lot since my husband hates being photographed. On the wedding day, he captured everything--big moments and small details--without ever feeling intrusive. The photos came out absolutely stunning. The lighting, angles, and candid shots were beyond what we imagined. Looking through our gallery truly felt like reliving the entire day. Turnaround time was quick, and the final images were beautifully edited without looking overdone. We've received so many compliments from family and friends. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and easy to work with, I highly recommend them. Worth every penny.

Anthony at Create Culture is a really great photographer. I've known him for a while and he's…read morealways had a knack for photography. He took some family pictures for us earlier on in his career and did a beautiful job. He also took pictures for our son's graduation and did a fun video session for him at the gym. We've had pictures taken by a few companies /individuals and have been let down. I recently moved to Nebraska, had family pictures taken at a studio and was very disappointed. Anthony has really set the bar high for us and is our definitely favorite photographer. He will guide you if you don't know what to do and he will travel to any location to get the shot you want. Don't hesitate to book your next event, photo, video or even a casual night out. You won't regret it. Looks like we will have to fly him out to Nebraska for another family photo at our new house.

Misti was very nice and professional when it came to the planning and showing up for the wedding…read more She took pictures with nice views and distances. Problem was that we discussed prior to the signing of the contract that we would like to have our pictures edited a certain way. More dark and cool, not so shaded and tan/warms. We wanted this cause it would look beautiful with the dark trees of the forest as well as my dark hair against my pale skin. I also didn't want my skin blending into my ivory dress. We gave her 3 example pictures of how we would like it as well. She agreed on many occasions that it would be okay. We also verified with her on the DAY OF our wedding that it would be done that way and she assured us. When we received our pictures 3 weeks later, NONE of them were as discussed and when we told her what we discussed she then deleted ALL of our pictures (about 150-200) from the link and only re-edited about 15 of them to the picture editing we discussed. Not to mention they were done very quickly and just looked really bad. My face looked dark. I was able to download most of them before she deleted them from the link but it's more so a disappointment because it was not what we disused and we can't get this day back. This was suppose to be a really BIG SPECIAL time in our lives. I live with this sadness now. So disappointed. Edit: I have attached our email correspondence and the 3 pictures we asked for the editing to look like and she agreed she could do BEFORE we signed the contract. I also attached the photos she took and edited. Her editing style is pretty, yes but it's the fact that it's not what we all discussed and agreed upon. We were under the impression of at least receiving 50-50 her style and the style we discussed but that's not what happened. At the end of the day my husband and I decided to just take what we got and move forward because it's not like anything will change and there are 2 sides to every story. This review is written because we are hurt and disappointed but it is what it is.

I was in search of a photographer to do our fall family photos in a unique setting. I chose Misti…read morethrough yelp search. She has so much experience and knows what people want. Misti is a lifestyle photographer. Our posed pictures are great, but the photos of us just being silly and enjoying the lake/forest together are so beautiful. She really captured my families love and happiness. It wasn't easy getting our 8 month old to look and smile at the camera, but she was very patient and worked around us. She got tons of great shots. Although she's busy, she still gets your photos to you quickly. For me personally, she does the right amount of editing and filtering. All the photos were cropped perfectly as well (I'm very particular). She truly is an amazing photographer/artist. Our photo shoot with Misti was worth the drive up to the mountains. She's super affordable and worth every penny. She really made my vision come to life and I will cherish our first family photos forever! I would definitely book her in the future for all my family's photos.

Carly was everything my fiancé and I were looking for and more!…read more She was quick to respond to my inquiry over Instagram, answered all my questions and made sure we planned for exactly what style I was looking for. I asked for a warm/golden hour feel for our engagement shoot and she captured it perfectly! This was my fiancé's and my first time getting professionally photographed and we wanted candid, fun, and romantic shots and she knew exactly how to prompt us in all kinds of fun different poses. She made our experience so much fun and even gave us a sneak peel of 10+ photos same day within a few hours!! Although we scheduled a 30 minutes session, Carly kept snapping pictures until she felt confident she got as much as she could which ended up being about 15 minutes longer than planned. She never looked at the clock or rushed us, just had fun and we were so lucky to work with her. All our photos were beautifully edited to our liking and were sent to us only 6 days after our photoshoot!!! Just in time for us to use to send out our save the dates before Christmas! I highly recommend Carly to capture your precious memories!
