I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

She captured my wedding in June of…read morethis year and I was so grateful to have found her through my venue's list of preferred vendors. She was shocked that I hired her having only looked at her portfolio, but I knew from the photos she had of another wedding at my venue that she would do a great job. And after our initial conversation I knew she would be perfect! She's a professional through and through. I appreciate her working with my husband who is camera shy and managing to document beautiful moments with our chaotic (but sweet) families. I know we made her nervous because we were pretty laid back and I am so appreciative she kindly made us take certain photos even though we said they were not important. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

She was also fantastic with our toddler and made the photoshoot fun for her even when she wasn't always cooperative. We love all of the pictures and can't recommend Lori enough!

After our baby boy was born, my wife and I realized that amidst the chaos, we never scheduled a newborn photoshoot as we planned. Therefore, we had to find a photographer that had an opening within a week's timeframe, was located within our area, and had fair pricing. Among the photographers we reached out to, Laura satisfied all 3 and was highly communicative and accommodating and made for an easy choice. Ahead of the photoshoot, Laura helped us preplan different poses, accessories, and backgrounds. We had an idea to pose our baby as part of an Asian Dim Sum set with no expectation that Laura could execute it but she encouraged it and got us excited about it. During the shoot, Laura's studio was perfectly set up for our baby and she took precautions as well (facemask, gloves, etc). She was also super adept at swaddling and calming our baby to sleep, so much so that as new parents, we learned some new techniques from her! Laura even accommodated our dog and we were able to incorporate him into a few photos. The photoshoot went very smooth and we felt grateful to have one of the first milestone experiences with our baby. After the photoshoot, we were able to select our favorite ones and Laura made all the necessary edits with a quick turnaround time. We're more than satisfied with our photos and have been very proud to use them in baby announcements and registry thank you cards to our friends and family.

This is my second review for an Image Light class. I just took the Composition for Photography…read moreclass and loved it. Terry presents the elements of composition not only from the more predictable attention to depth of field and such but, from a more technical, scientific side of what makes a image more appealing. He presents how old master artists used mathematics Golden Ratio to construct their paintings and then shows you how you can apply these same principles to improve your photographs. Although it is a different class, you still get the same Terry. He is engaged, patient, attentive and makes the class light and fun. He encourages questions and does not bog you down with photography jargon that you might not even know. You can't go wrong with Terry!

Great instructor! I…read morefound Terry via Groupon and am glad I got a chance to attend his Advance Basics course. I was slightly skeptical when Terry mentioned he would be going through some of the more fundamental topics of how to use your DSLR but was pleasantly surprised when I found that I had a lot to take away from the course. The class itself was a smaller setting which was really nice. It took place at Terry's Image Light Photography Studio. It ended up being one other person and myself making the class more engaging and interactive. Terry went through the class at a comfortable pace, made it interactive by having us use our cameras during specific topics to reinforce learnings and happily answered the numerous questions I threw at him. Overall, it was a great foundational course for those just getting into photography or for those needing a refresher (like myself). I plan to take his Exposure class in the near future.

When…read morewe spoke about scheduling the appointment I explained that my son wanted some of the photos with his 69' Mustang and wow did she deliver. She scouted out the perfect location on a dead end road that allowed for photos of to be taken safely in the street and around the car as if he was driving. Her attention to details made our time really special. She started the session by asking Jacob what his favorite music was, which she played throughout the shoot. She had also suggested that if he had a pair of favorite sunglasses to bring them - something I wouldn't have thought of and it really helped capture the vibe of what he was looking for. Our time allowed for multiple outfit changes and locations. The light that Nina was able to capture in the photos was stunning. Within hours of our session Nina had even texted me a handful of 'teaser' shots, something I expected to be waiting weeks for. Even my reserved son couldn't hide his huge smile when I showed him the photos. The final beautifully edited collection of photos I received didn't have ONE bad shot.
