The shoot went great, she was super receptive to what I was looking for and immediately knew how to get the affect. On top of that she's just a great human, making the whole process enjoyable.

I've worked with Isabel for my son's newborn, first, second, and third birthday photos. She is…read moreincredibly talented, and the pictures always turn out beautifully. The photo books are also amazing quality and are keepsakes I'll treasure forever. Isabel is very punctual, professional, and does a great job putting everyone at ease. I don't consider myself particularly photogenic, but she always knows how to suggest poses and capture everyone looking their best while still making the photos feel natural. She's really good with kids of all ages and does a great job capturing the feeling of each event. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful photographer to capture these special moments for my family!

We've used Isabel for all three of our children, and every experience has been truly amazing! And…read morehonestly she's become so much more than a photographer, she's like an old family friend. From our first newborn session almost 8 years ago to the most recent one, she has consistently provided us with beautiful, timeless photos. She takes the time to ensure every shot is perfect, all while making the session feel calm and enjoyable. The photos she captures will be treasured for the rest of our lives. we love how she manages to highlight the unique personality and tiny details of each of our kids so effortlessly and naturally. We've received so many compliments on her work, and we'll continue to trust her with our family's most precious moments. We looked forward to each session with Isabel like a visit from an old friend and we trust her completely to capture these fleeting moment of our kids's childhood. We can't recommend Isabel enough!

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

There are many things to consider when hiring a photographer. Do you feel comfortable with the…read moreperson you are hiring? Do you love their photography style? Do they come highly recommended? Are they quick to communication and precise on their policies and expectations from you as a client? I can say that from day one I felt extremely comfortable with Linda. She has this very natural way of making you feel like you have known her for your entire life. I spent hours looking at her online photos and realized she has invested in her education and spent a lot of time thinking about how to take her shots and what angles and lighting are best. I have personally hired Linda for my wedding reception, a photo shoot for the children I nanny, and for a mini session with my own family. She handled the family dynamic professionally each time. She is always quick to answer my questions, accommodating when I may not know exactly what I want, always sends a very detailed contract so both she and I know what to expect. She is so quick to edit photos and get the product to you. She always does a little blog post (her blog is excellent by the way so follow it). I can honestly say I will continue to hire Linda. I know that when it comes to maternity photos, family portraits or any other photography needs I may have Linda is my go to girl! I highly recommend her, in fact, I just did last week!!

Marina took beautiful pictures of my family and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I…read morefirst contacted Marina via Yelp to request a quote. She responded very quickly and was able to book soon, which is what we were hoping for. In getting ready for the photo shoot, I messaged back and forth with her about what we should wear, to include sending pictures of our outfits. She gave good feedback and recommendations. I was nervous about making sure we looked good together, but not matching TOO well and looking cheesy. I felt really good about the outfit decisions after working with her, which made me confident in the shoot. We booked an hour long shoot and decided to start in our home and then transition outside. Now my family consists of my husband and me, plus our dog and two cats. Though our pets were not the most cooperative during the shoot, Marina was very patient and happy to work with us to get decent photos with all the pets (yep, even the cats). We ended up spending about 45 min in our home and then drove to a nearby park to take photos outside. Marina found a great spot to start and after taking several shots there, we walked around and went to a spot my husband and I frequented. We spent about 45 min there too, so the total time we had with her was about 1.5 hrs. She did not even mention the extra time and before we were done, wanted to make very sure there weren't any other locations or shots we wanted. We really appreciate the fact that she cared and wanted to make sure we were satisfied. The pictures turned out beautifully. We are very happy with the final product and even the unedited photos are worth printing!

Laura Shachmut is an incredible photographer. She puts so much talent, energy, creativity, and…read moreintelligence into her shoots, the props she brings, the ideas she has. She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!
