Book your time with Lori, it is worth it. :)

She came very prepared and organized, and had a wide variety of props and techniques to relax the dogs and get their natural, beautiful expressions and poses. For the family photo, our dogs were very high energy and we also felt nervous. Lori gave us tips to relax us, which calmed our dogs down just enough for the perfect photos. She captured very poignant moments of us interacting with the dogs. Her website and preview system are a breeze to use, and she's a perfectionist with the printed photos. We couldn't be happier with our gorgeous prints displayed in our home.

Angelique was a pleasure to work with. We hired her to take pictures of our puppy, Zuko. She came…read moreto our apartment and stayed for about an hour.

She was willing to meet me and my dog at a local park where she had scouted out a few locations that worked wonderfully for our session.

FillmanFoto is the best of the best. You will most certainly get a deal when booking with Sarah,…read morebecause her rates are outrageously reasonable considering the amazing pictures she will take for you. Her pictures are always sharp and well-staged (while still looking natural), and every person and scene looks the best it possibly could. Sarah is a pro at catching a person, animal, or scene at just the right moment so that it looks magical, and her editing is such so that it doesn't look fake. Most important (to me, anyway), Sarah has a professional and friendly demeanor that makes you at ease right from the start, so that you don't feel uncomfortable being in front of a camera for hours at a time. I worked with Sarah when she shot boudoir shots of me - this could have been very awkward, but instead I forgot she was even taking pictures because she was so professional. The pictures turned out beyond beautifully, she was quick in editing them, and she brought all of her own equipment so that I felt comfortable shooting in my own home. I have recommended FillmanFoto to everyone I know, and she has taken stunning pictures for them as well (regardless of the event and the people in the shots). I can't wait to recruit her for my engagement and wedding shoots!

Michelle shot my wedding and did an incredible job of capturing moments throughout the day. We knew…read morewe didn't want cookie-cutter, off the shelf photography and we were amazed by the range of emotion and interactions between ourselves, our friends and family that Michelle was able to document. Everyone who's seen the photographs has commented at how artistically composed they are. The work is truly impressive and none of it is staged. We were actually able to enjoy our wedding day because Michelle works so quietly and unobtrusively, we forgot she was even there. We later hired Michelle to take pictures of our daughter when she turned two. We absolutely love the photos!

Michelle met us at our apartment, which is very convenient for our little family with a 4-month old baby, and she was patient, kind and professional throughout the shoot. Of course, all that means nothing if the pictures aren't good, but the pictures were fantastic. The photos were in the naturalistic style that we love, and the resolution was amazing. We've got several instant classics out of the shoot, and Michelle allowed us to keep all the digital files. We can't wait to use her again!
