She is a pro with kids, as they run circles during photoshoots and older adults who are disgruntled about having to be in a larger group photo. Her imagery is classic and captures everyone at their best. I'd highly recommend Mary Kate if you're considering her for your fall family shoot.

She has a great eye and creative with her offers. The most recent thing we did was a mini session and it was more than enough time to capture great photos! She even got some shots with the grandparents and there is always so many good ones that it's hard to pick which ones to frame. Thanks MK!

Thank goodness for Dennis, whose competency and charm are pretty much unparalleled, if my headshot…read moreproofs are any indication. He has ensured that I will be taken seriously as a professional thanks to these headshots. For someone who doesn't love taking photos (case in point: my soon-to-be former LinkedIn profile picture is a selfie from, oh, almost a decade ago), I am looking at a batch of 'em that make me re-think my aversion to the camera lens. It almost looks like I am a natural! That's because Dennis was able to make me feel comfortable and relaxed, which definitely shows up on film. When you're laughing and talking about things you like and are important to you (e.g., rescuing a Corgi pup, eating super fiery spicy foods, traveling the world), your face shows it, and your smile changes. What an expert Dennis is for knowing that, and knowing exactly how to capture those micro-moments when your eyes capture that grin, and your smile catches that light. When I got to his home studio, Dennis explained how the shooting process would work, what options I'd have in terms of background and lighting, and even showed me a few sneak peeks that put my mind at ease. He's also extremely communicative via email, and is just the utmost professional on all levels. I had marked Dennis in my Yelp bookmarks for years, and now I'm kicking myself for not having gone to him earlier... so don't make the same mistake I did: book him NOW! You won't be disappointed.

As the owner of a real estate staging company, I have used Steve, owner and operator of Whysall…read morePhotography, for several years now to photograph special, niche listings. His talent is that special blend of science and art that not only makes a listing highly marketable, but also captures the essence of the property. Recently, I hired Steve to photograph an impromptu wedding of a dear friend that was being held at my house. Keenly aware that my experience as a professional home stager in no way qualifies me to act as a wedding planner, I was very worried that the event would fall short of the bride's expectations. In addition, I was concerned that my modest house would not provide an adequate backdrop for Steve to capture the special moments of the day. I have always been a huge fan of Steve's work, but now my appreciation of his expertise and artistic talents is even greater! Upon arriving, he performed his usual "walk-through" to determine the positive attributes and challenges of the venue. Very quickly he established a strategy for shooting the wedding (no rehearsal...totally "off-the-cuff"), and within the first hour was in his "artistic groove" as I like to call it! The resulting wedding photos are nothing less than magical; it looks as if the wedding took place at a five star hotel! Thanks to Steve's artistry, my friend has a wedding album filled with beautiful memories.

As a family of 5 with a 7 year old an 4 year old twins we didn't quite know what to expect when we…read morewent in to do our family portrait. We had every expectation that it could go poorly with one or more of the kids. We were blown away by Steve and his wife. They were able to get the kids to smile if we couldn't, or to sit if we couldn't, all while setting up great shots. Steve was great at moving to different spaces as determined by one of our youngest who was having a hard time sitting still. We didn't feel rushed at all to get the shots that we needed, and Steve made sure that we happy with each shot. We are so pleased with the pictures we have that we can't wait to go back for more.

Family photos , senior pictures , headshots , she can do them all and very well at that! Go with her you won't be disappointed! From the second our family walked through her studio door for our photo shoot , we felt welcomed and comfortable. She communicated well to us and had a delious batch of chocolate chip cookies and ice water waiting. (for the extremely warm newborn room) Her booklet for us to browse through was sitting there too. Very professional , yet warm and inviting. She got our baby boy ready and kept him comfortable as he dozed. She captured some really amazing shots of our little , yet 9lb baby. She suggested poses for all of us , yet I felt comfortable requesting my own thoughts to get her opinion on. She knew her lighting , what would work and turn out well , before putting her eye on the camera. Being a post partum mom , swollen and tired (and showing it too!!) she captured angles that were flattering for me, which I appreciated greatly. Overall, I was very happy with how each picture turned out, precious. We also did our family photo shoot (with Baby reveal to other kids) and maternity shoot. Despite dealing with multiple people , outfit changes, kids attitudes, etc she handled us very well! She was open to my ideas and willing to give hers. She paid attention to detail. Correcting hair, dresses , shoulder placement if anything was not to her standard. I appreciate this as well! I was thrilled with the beginning to end results in all three of our shoots with Jenny. Truly a blessing to have such a gift, as she does.

During our last shoot, Mary sarah had a bug in her eye and she didn't let that stop her. I don't know about you, but anyone who is willing to continue working with a bug in their eye is alright with me! In a nutshell, Mary Sarah has a great personality and does spectacular work. Her passion for her craft captured those special moments and I can now look at them forever!

As a recently fired fed, I needed to hit reset on my 20+ year career. First step - getting…read moreprofessional headshots. I'd had some done before, but they turned out terrible and I never used them - I looked awkward and uncomfortable, and they just weren't that flattering. This experience was 1000% different. John took the time to chat with me ahead of the photos, making me feel comfortable, and then proceeded to capture dozens of poses, all the while providing helpful commentary to make me feel relaxed to give natural looks to reflect me, but professional. I cannot recommend him enough!

TLDR: If you're looking for a corporate headshot, Armato Photography is 10000% the way to go…read more Yelp's review of "great" is an absolute understatement here --- Armato photography is nothing short of exemplary. I recently transitioned to a new company which required me to update my headshots. It had been a while since I have had headshots done and all I told John was that I needed to look corporate and executive. I notified him of the color scheme my company needed in advance. He made recommendations regarding the colors I should wear and bring and he allowed me to bring multiple outfits to test out which looked best. I am generally a stiff and tense individual and "relaxing" for pictures does not come naturally to me. Not only was John incredibly flexible and understanding of everything, he had this great way of coaching me through the entire experience in a lighthearted, fun and extremely enjoyable way...so much so that nothing about me screamed "tense" or "stiff" in the final headshot. John has a way of connecting to you as a human being, leveraging the few things he knows about you to bring out joy and confidence in your eyes and basically create a masterpiece out of a rock (me, I am the rock). Aside from being so incredibly talented, John is also incredibly patient. I am pretty picky when it comes to my headshots (I always hyperfocus on the smallest details about my appearance which deter me from pictures that may be amazing but from my perspective are lacking or off). I wasn't sure what I would be picky about as it had been a while since I had obtained headshots, so after every few pictures, John would pause and review them with me. He would allow me to express what I liked and didn't like, while also supplying his professional input. We would then take more photos, pause, and repeat. While I was more focused on how random folds in my outfit looked or how certain features of my face looked (my nose has a little curve that is very normal, but throws me off so I am particular RE the angles in which photos are taken of me), John was focused on ensuring he was capturing small details to fit into the big picture. He was not only focusing on the details I was telling him I was picky on, he was also incorporating additional details to make sure every aspect of the picture was ideal. What I appreciated most is the educational component that went into the process - he would guide me through his thoughts and supply recommendations...but would take it one step further and show me the results once I would incorporate a recommendation (instant gratification = fulfilled). Another bonus is that during no part of the process did I feel that John was in a rush or annoyed by my pickiness. I can confidently say this is the first time I have encountered such a photographer when it comes to headshots. Hands down the best way to end 2021 was having John complete my headshots. I will definitely be heading in 2022 with a confident, but approachable, picture to display to the corporate world. Oh, and I will also be recommending John to every family member, friend, colleague, etc that I have who may need headshots updated...he was THAT good. Thank you, Armato Photography, for the incredible experience and amazing photos.
