We had 2 dogs in tow as well and he captured so many great shots that will be meaningful memories for us in the years to come. It was so hard to choose photos since so many were excellent! Dirk & Jenny designed a photo book for us as a surprise option and it turned out so fantastic that we bought that too! It is a great way to share lots of photos with family & friends. We enjoy using the photo book to promote Wentling's to others too. Jenny did our son's senior photos which surpassed any senior photos we have seen anywhere else. Exceptional portraits, money well spent...no doubt Wentling's ROCKS!! Thanks Dirk & Jenny! The Graham Family

The photos of my daughter were highly unflattering and the photos were off centered.

I wanted to have our family portrait in colorful Fall foliage. He was willing to meet in person to discuss details and he spent time to look for a great location for us.

The final photos definitely met our expectations--each shot was beautifully composed and edited. Highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and creative photographer. Five stars without a doubt!

Informative- they took the time for a call to get to me and explain all details I needed to know ahead of time. Prepared- they had detailed emails and plenty of info so you feel prepared to come in! Professional- any questions I had prior to coming in they answered very quickly and felt like they knew what they were doing! The shoot itself- I was VERY nervous and they made me feel at ease right away- from the makeup, to hair, to outfits they made me feel like a queen and photographer was fantastic. She knew all the right poses and how to make me feel comfortable in all the poses. After the shoot while choosing photos they took as much time asI needed and overall just made me feel so good! Could not have asked for a better experience!

The whole shoot was constantly switching colors, lens and trying to crack lame, racist and sexist jokes. I somehow hoped I would have something to show for it all, considering he already got 1/2 of his non refundable fee long before the shoot. 2 weeks later no finished products, all stall tactics. The photos sent to me to choose from my clothes isn't straight, tummy showing, bra strap showing, red lipstick on my teeth! What photographer doesn't see and address those things??! I guess he ran out of tactics; here goes the last chain of msgs, threats and insults. I guess you'll be seeing me in court after all.....gasps.....how dare me not being scared. Regardless of the lies in response, time stamps do not lie. I haven't had a call with this man since the photo shoot, so ALL contact is via text; texts that is clearly visible, no thread missing. The bottom line is the only person I need to present FACTS to is the Judge I was threatened with and I'll have the text msgs to show as proof. The court will have access to all my call and text records. I'm here waiting to be sued as threatened because proof is what matters; not who can spin the best tale.

We booked a special mini session with Alecia and I can't recommend her enough! I had a little…read moretrouble booking through her website, but she quickly responded and helped me troubleshoot. When the last spot was taken, she messaged me directly to let me know she opened up more times. We met her at a little park where she was set up and ready to go as she had back-to-back mini-sessions. Despite it being a mini session (just 15 minutes I think?); we never felt rushed. I'm not sure how she accomplished that! She must be a wizard! During the shoot, I felt confident she got some great shots. She had a blanket set up on the grass for our 6-month-old upon arrival. 6-month-olds are tricky since our baby couldn't sit on her own, and she also refused to lay on her back. Alecia was clever with her poses and had my baby girl and our 5-year-old son lay on their tummies. We moved to several locations in the park including a cute wooden footbridge. We got a very cute shot with her laying her head on his shoulder! Alecia was so sweet and had great energy during the shoot! We really enjoyed her personality and vibe! We felt so comfortable which is so important when you're doing a photoshoot. Although we didn't do a full family shoot, we just did our two children, she really made us feel at ease! I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! We loved the photos and I'm grateful we were able to catch our kiddos at this moment in time: my son's 5th birthday and our daughter at 6 months. Children grow so quickly and I truly treasure having these photos. If you're looking for a sweet photographer who can get your kiddos so smile, make you feel at ease, and capture bright, cheerful photos, look no further -- Gingerly Snapped checks all the boxes!

I'm excited to have her do future photo shoots as our girls grow.

Our experience with JennyDee Photography was excellent from our initial emails all the way until we…read morereceived the final photos. Jenny and Geo (her husband and assistant photographer) are very responsive, professional, and committed to providing you all the shots you want. My husband and I hired JennyDee Photography for both our Engagement and Wedding photography and we could not be more pleased. We had multiple calls in the months leading up to the wedding to align on what we wanted, discussed the overall wedding timeline, and provided the list of shots we wanted. Their website also has example timelines for photography, which were very helpful as we planned our day and allowed us to not compress everything too much. Working with Jenny and Geo is also a great experience. They are organized, funny, kind, and encouraging -- they will help pose you as needed, but generally allow for a very genuine capture of the day. They are also very organized and will help keep things moving efficiently without being overbearing -- I could trust that they would get all the shots we needed without feeling like I needed to check in, and both posed and candid shots were phenomenal. Finally, all the photographs we received from JennyDee Photography (in less than a month!) are joy and whimsy personified. They managed to capture the color, vibrancy, and happiness of that day in the photographs -- I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I reviewed the gallery. The photography and editing style is so vibrant, genuine and fun in a sea of very muted photography nowadays-- I will lovingly look at the pictures for years to come. I could not recommend them more highly. Photo Credits: @JennyDeePhotography

We had an excellent experience with Jenny Dee Photography. Jenny and George (Jenny's husband and…read moreassistant photographer) were communicative and helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding reception. Their template for our "desired and must-get" photos list was very helpful for organizing, and our phone conversations with them were great for figuring out what we wanted and hammering out logistics. On the day of the wedding, we had morning activities and an evening reception. Jenny and George were on time and enthusiastic for everything. They were flexible as our schedule shifted slightly throughout the day, and they were very active in making sure we got all the photos from our list. Now that we have the final photos, we can also say that we are thrilled with the results. Great candids, great staged photos, and we really like the editing style. Overall: would highly recommend for your wedding or event.

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing.
