I could not be happier with the selection I made with Studio 45. From booking the day/time, to getting my pictures, Heather and Jeff were extremely helpful, accommodating, professional, and friendly. If we ever needed a photo session in the Ocala area, I would definitely seek out their services.

My husband and I worked with Jeff and Heather from the time we were freshly engaged up until the…read morebig wedding day! Words cannot describe how incredible they are, not just as photographers (they did our engagement session and judging from that, I seriously cannot wait to see the wedding pictures) but as people. We instantly clicked and I knew it was going to be awesome. They not only were there to capture every special moment from arriving, getting ready, the ceremony, reception, all the way up until the send off (that was about a 12+ hour day) but they were a message or a phone call away with any questions I had pertaining to the wedding (even in areas that weren't photography, like working with the DJ for a timeline, assisting if we needed anything picked up or done around town before hand among many other things). When the day was said and done, I knew that it wouldn't be good bye for good because I 100% plan to have them continue to be our go to photographers for major life events and family photos. We didn't just hire photographers, we hired friends and I cannot say enough good about them! Thank you Jeff and Heather for making the beginning to our newest chapter so perfect!

In violation of my contract, Erin Mac cancelled my session…read more Before visiting FL, and flying my daughter in, I reached out and hired Erin Mac Photography. I signed a contract, paid a deposit and agreed to the early evening time slot that was suggested. Erin decided to cancel my session because I had not emailed her despite not being a requirement in the contract. We both agreed the weather has been an issue and I was waiting to reach out with a location after looking at the weather. She also had my phone number if she was truly concerned about my not keeping to the terms of the contract. Less than 24 hours before the agreed upon date and time, she cancelled the session and refunded me the deposit. I did share with her this was the most hateful thing that could be done as I do not live near my daughter and was so looking forward to a family photo session. There was no name calling or unkind behavior on anyone's part till she cancelled, then I sent one email. I have shared the emails and email thread to show I was not contacted **edit ** Once she shared I called her a monster, I did respond that it was not me. If someone else did, I did not want it confused with me. I am hurt as a mother, but I would not want to hurt anyone else with ugly names.

She got back to me very quickly - I was able to arrange the whole thing from across the country via emails, then texts with her. She made some suggestions for time of day and kept an eye on the weather. She was on time, and patient. She was fast! (It was so hot out!) But most importantly the pictures turned out so amazing. She even captured a beautiful moment of my parents laughing together which ended up being my favorite. I am so happy I found her. However my dad just could not understand who the old guy was in the photos. But that is his problem not Erin's. I recommend her 100%

Upon the pre consultation, Linda showed us her studio and the numerous props, headbands, hats, blankets, etc. I was impressed with the numerous options of colors, props, and headbands!! Once our little one was born and we set a date, Linda was extremely patient with our little girl. She took her time, used numerous different headpieces and didn't even flinch when our girl pooped on her.....twice. Pretty sure she is a baby whisperer! Watching our precious girl brought tears to my eyes! I knew the pictures would turn out perfect and boy was I right. The pictures are stunning and her work speaks for itself. I would absolutely recommend Linda with lovin the light without hesitation.

This December I decided to propose to my girlfriend at the night of light's event in St Augustine. FL. Little did i know , I picked the busiest night of the year for the area! Crowds were everywhere and there was even a parade of boats covered in Christmas lights. Despite the challenges, Stephen stayed in constant contact, gave helpful suggestions and brought an assistant to help manage the crowd. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking to plan their special moment (or for any moment where a photographer is needed really!)

Jerry was just getting started in the photography business and I was scared of how my pictures were going to turn out. But I could not have been more happier, the photos were just beyond anything we could have imagined. He and his wife make a wonderful team. He captures the natural spontaneous moments and she captures the more posed pictures. You get the best of both worlds. They offer way more then what their packages advertise. We have used them every step of the way from maternity, newborn delivery and now family photos. I would not go anywhere else. You get a lot for your money. God works in mysterious ways to bring people in our lives. And this was just one of his many blessings. We would highly recommend Jerry Padgett Photography for capturing all your special moments in your life.
