She is so personable and with us throughout the whole session. She even made my very shy daughter so comfortable in front of her lens. We loved our photos and our friends and family did too! Definitely book her private session as it is worth every dollar spent. Memories like this last a lifetime! Thank you again for the wonderful photos and I can't wait for our next session!

"Above and beyond" and "beyond my wildest dreams" is how I would describe Melissa Arlena and the…read morebrand photoshoot she did for me. I reached out to Melissa for new website photos. Melissa made time to meet with my website designer to hear her needs and also went above and beyond to find the PERFECT location for the shoot, especially during the winter and during a global pandemic. Melissa got to know me and the brand I was trying to create. She did her research and came prepared with a shot list. During the shoot, she made sure we checked the box on all of the shots I wanted, and there were a lot. I have a complex business with lots of services, and she nailed it. Melissa made me feel comfortable and at home. Getting photos taken can be very vulnerable; her patient and soothing guidance made me feel like I could be myself, and that showed up in the photos. The photos came out amazing. As a former performing artist, I have done many shoots and this is by far the best shots of me I have ever seen. I received the photos back within two weeks, as promised. Melissa took time to retouch everything and remove any "uglies," so the experience of viewing my photos was just as joyful as taking them. She has a great eye and chose her top favorites to help direct my choices. I can't recommend Melissa enough - I will surely never hire another photographer again. I have found my person! - Lauren Green, Owner and Executive Director, Dancing with Markers®.

Celeste went to both the Rotunda and my school with me and got all of the shots I wanted (and more!!). She was so good about coaching me through poses and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was so happy with how the pictures ended up. They're beautiful, light and airy--exactly what I wanted and an awesome way to wrap up my school career.

She was totally down with that! So, of course, we did the same for the wedding itself! She braved ladders, broken down buildings, river crossings, and tunnels for us to get the perfect pictures.

Teresa Vice is as great a photographer as they come. Relaxed, thoughtful, and intuitive, she has a…read moreway of capturing moments, rather than merely taking pictures. Her style and technique prove a great deal of experience, and she is very helpful to those of us that might not necessarily feel "comfortable in front of the camera". It's also clear how much she enjoys what she does when you view/receive the results. Not only must she spend a large amount of time and effort on editing, but she does all that she can to make sure that your photos are exactly as you hoped. Additionally, she's flexible on what type of photos (or session) you envision. She likes trying new styles and methods, but she also makes sure to take classic styles and poses as well. Very creative. Very professional. Very talented.

She sees the world with an artist's eye and it shows in her photographs. I have received many compliments on the unconventional and striking maternity pictures. I wish I could take credit for them! Several months later, she followed up with the sweetest, natural and beautiful baby photos of my twins and their big sister. Even when my 2 yr old was being less than cooperative, Teresa was patient and never made us feel rushed. Teresa just rolled with it and managed to even make a cranky toddler seem adorable in photos. Teresa has an incredible gift for catching the precious candid photos that make me want to relive the moment over and over. Additionally, she always gets the photos to us very quickly so we can enjoy them!

Aaron Watson did a family photo session for us last summer and did an amazing job, especially…read moreconsidering our sometime stubborn 18 month old and 4 year old dog wanted to explore more than pose for pictures. But that was the beauty of Aaron's work. He not only got our son to smile, but he took pictures that captured our son's curiosity and spirit. To be able to work with home like that and capture the mood was beyond perfect. We had a great time roaming a peach orchard and chomping down on strawberries with a beautiful mountain back drop. After our amazing session Aaron had us back to his home/studio to share the photographs. It was so touching viewing it a comfortable setting as he does. I would (and have!) recommend AW photography to anyone looking for family/children photography in a heart beat.

He has a unique talent for making everything he photographs look colorful and full of life. He's done photo shoots for some musician friends of mine, and he has a wonderful professional style. He pays close attention to the personalities of the people he's photographing so that he can focus on bringing those personalities out in the photographs. The end result doesn't have that manufactured feeling you get looking at other photo shoot pictures. He's not going to tell you where to stand, how to tilt your head, or what you should be doing with your hands. He just encourages you to forget he's even there so that he can take classy, crisp photos of you enjoying the moment. On top of his amazing ability to create art out of even the most ordinary moments, he's just a super nice guy. He's really easy going, and is a real joy to have around. I highly recommend Tom Daly to anyone thinking of tying the knot, and to musicians that want to get some really unique and fun professional press shots.
