I just had my first baby (yay!) Of course my wife wants to…read moreget newborn pictures (I am worried about cheesy pictures). But- we found Oh Snap! Photography by Amy (yay!) We had our photo session- and the pictures are not cheesy- they are actually very tasteful. We also had a lot of excellent portrait pictures done of the three of us, and other family members. She is very professional (she's been doing this 3 years!), extremely talented, and took away all my anxiety of getting these pictures done. I still have my man card. I am definitely going to be using her in the future to document my baby growing up. Look no further when looking for newborn/baby/child photography. I would have had my wife do her maternity pictures there too had I discovered her before!

I just had a baby and wanted to of course get great pictures as a newborn (and also for someone to…read moretake some maternity shots) and someone referred me to Oh Snap! Photography by Amy. She is one stop shopping for the above (and also for pictures of our baby as he gets older!). We just had our photo session and we could not be happier with the results. She has an amazing gift on working with newborns (who can sometimes be cooperative, cranky, moody etc) and older kids. She is extremely patient. She has a great variety of props- various materials to get pictures that will be memorable for years to come. She is extremely creative, and works well with you to create unique shots. Just check out her website to see her portfolio and you will be amazed! She is extremely reasonably priced (you are paying for her photo skills/editing of pictures)- and what's nice is that she gives you a CD with all the pictures on it- so you can print them whenever and wherever and however you want. She doesn't offer printing at this time. There are so many places online or locally- it's cheaper to print them on your own (I found that a lot of photographers come with a high price tag because you have to also buy THEIR prints and do not get to keep a digital copy of pictures without paying a hefty price). You also get full printing rights of your pictures (which is how it should be!) She is a Rockford native (support local!) I am definitely going to use her in the future to document this exciting journey (and if there are any more to come!) ;) http://www.ohsnapbyamy.com/

Wonderful experience with Cassandra West Photography. Had a mini session-30 minutes one background…read moreone outfit photo shoot.

Kim is such an amazing photographer! She has taken pictures of my daughter in dance for years and…read moreloved her work. When looking for a photographer for our son's senior pictures there was no doubt she was the one to use! She spent time to get to know our son and find out what HE liked. Doing this she was able to capture him perfectly. We had a great time at different locations capturing him. When we got our pictures back we were even more impressed at the work she did. We highly recommend Kim and will be using her again when our daughter gets her senior pictures done.

I started searching for a senior photographer about a year before hiring KJay photography to take…read moremy sons pictures. I followed every photographer I could find in the area on Facebook. As I saw pictures being posted there was one photographer who's work always impressed me, KJay Photography. After working with Kim it became apparent why her photos are so amazing. She gets to know her subjects, she provides great suggestions to get the shots you want. She has wonderful locations understands the importance of lighting and works seamlessly and creatively to get hundreds of fabulous shots. My son who wasn't really looking forward to having his picture taken, actually had fun and couldn't believe it went so fast. I am grateful to KJay Photography for capturing this milestone in my sons life. I absolutely treasure the photos and my daughter can not wait until her turn this summer!

Or pay more for them than the hospital bill. Too much to ask? For once, it was not. Stephanie promptly responded to my email requesting a session (email so much easier than phone with a sleeping baby), flexible with the scheduling of said session, arrived at my home promptly with her little basket of cute photo props, and snapped away... And all the while being very personable and pleasant and open to my suggestions and desire for props and cute baby positions. I was left with a ton of images, the next one somehow cuter than the last and a fantastic one that we used for the baby party invite. We received so many compliments - people seriously amazed at how our little one was captured at only 2 weeks of age with a huge smile. I've given her info out to a ton of people and look to schedule her again in the coming months. Stephanie said that our daughter was the cutest ever. But I'm sure she says that to all the babes! And she would then, of course, be wrong.

She is incredibly priced without jeopardizing the quality of the photos you'll receive. When your event is over, she quickly puts your pictures on disc and mails them to you. You then have complete rights to the photos to do with what you will. No, she's not a part of some huge wedding photography company that will put together a book for you, but I appreciate this. Not only would I rather put together my own books, frames, etc...I'd rather not be charged an arm and a leg to collect all the pictures to do so. I plan to work with Stephanie in the future, as she's a great person and a quality photographer.
