Kara did an amazing job with my professional headshot-style photo shoot…read more I wasn't even sure what I was looking for, so she took some time at the beginning to discus the traditional versus "new wave" style of business pictures. With LinkedIn and social media being such a big deal now a days, you better look profesh, and you better look good while you're doing it. She made everything stress free for me and guided me through the process. I'm not used to professional pictures, but she made me feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Tried on some different outfits with some different backgrounds at her studio (which is lovely and nicely decorated) The day was painless and casual, she had a quick turnaround process and gave me a stunning final result, including a great editing process for some general blemish removal, etc. Would highly recommend Kara not just for her professional photography skills, but her personality and her ability to make you feel at ease. She handles family portraits, weddings and adorable baby shoots, too!

Kara generously offered to schedule me in the next day after I had anxiously reached out because my…read morebaby was nearing 6 weeks old and I was having a difficult time scheduling newborn photos (typically taken within the first 2 weeks of life) with a different photographer. She cleared her schedule and was able to beautifully capture my increasingly huge and more active, less sleepy infant. The preparation that went into the shoot was top notch from the heat being turned up in the studio so my baby wasn't cold to the wide variety of outfits, props, sound machine, and she even had a camping/outdoorsy background that fit our nursery theme! We BOTH felt we were in the best of care; my baby is normally fussy in the hands of strangers but Kara had a way of calming him to get all the cutest poses effortlessly, and I as a new mom was able to finally relax for a few hours. She is also a mom to two littles and was incredibly easy to talk and relate to. It was apparent she truly loves her career and genuinely cares about her customers and their family.. which is increasingly hard to find these days! I recommend her services to anyone looking for family photos; you will treasure them for decades to come.

I recently had a boudoir/pinup session here! They are a relatively new business made up of husband…read moreand wife combo, Lance and Brenda Lee. I am so so happy with how everything turned out! My hair and makeup was done perfectly, and I felt so comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend this for any bride or woman looking for something a little different compared to a traditional boudoir photo shoot. The teamwork the duo showed made the day even better and I knew the results would show that! So happy I got out of my comfort zone and went for it! I would recommend this to anyone!

The minute I met Jen, I knew I wanted to work with her. She was on the upper end of my price point…read morefor photographers, but she is worth every penny. If there is one thing I appreciate in working with professionals, it's those that are detail oriented and prepared--Jen is both! I didn't have to worry one bit. Rain or shine, I knew my pictures were going to look amazing. It's not every day that you meet a photographer as prepared and professional enough to have galoshes and 10 black umbrellas in their car just in case of rain. She even brings her own lighting if need be. What I especially love is how organized she was about the wedding timeline. Snap snap snap, a few jokes to get great laughs and beautiful smiles, and then move on to the next set! There is no dilly-dally going on but it all felt very natural. She gets the shot and moves on to another beautiful pose. This made it especially wonderful for the family shots. We lined up, added and subtracted people--and snap snap snap--we were done! We were able to enjoy most of our cocktail hour and appetizers because of it! AMAZING. Okay, so lets talk about her personality. She is so cool! Easy going, makes you feel good behind the camera. You can tell that she enjoys everyone's unique personalities and she knows how to make that come out in her pictures. Jen even took extra pictures of us during our reception even though she wasn't being paid for that part of the wedding. She captured some great speech moments and tears. I am so grateful to have met such a cool artist--and advocate for people, creativity, uniqueness and just a good person! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful in their photos and not have to worry about a thing on their wedding day!

Jennifer shot our engagement and wedding photos over the course of three days. We literally CANNOT…read morebe happier with both the process of working with her as well as the ultimate outcome of the hundreds of photos that she took and edited. She was a joy all the way around, but also knew how to assert (our) needs during those fun moments of family-wrangling for portraits. UPDATE: Only in speaking to other recently-wed couples did we realize the truly exceptional level of service that we got from Jennifer: she had our proofs out to us in a matter of weeks (not months, like the experience of some of our friends), and we still could not be happier with all the memories she captured! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our experience with Jennifer, but the opinion is simple: she was amazing, fun, professional and took GREAT photos!

From start to finish, Carter and the team had us covered. They took the anxiety out of the day and…read morekept our event on schedule. They are an energetic team that has our interest as their top priority. Adam, our DJ, did an awesome job keeping our guests engaged and entertained through the night. We highly recommend Carter Events an Entertainment for any event and look forward to seeing them again in the future. - Bill & Kari Gardner

I took away some stars for some complaints I have. I'm unsure if it was the venue's fault or the…read moresound system that was brought in, but I was told by multiple people throughout the night that they couldn't hear anything, from the speeches, to the shoe game, to the actual music, so that was a bit disappointing considering the speeches were my favorite part of the night. Another thing is I was asked to make a list of songs I really wanted played... and only some of the songs were played, which was disappointing once again. Besides that, Steven Carter and his team are very easy to work with and the meetings we had were very helpful in the planning process, very nice people! Our DJ and officiant were right on schedule.

I decided to do this as a Christmas/Birthday gift for my husband. I told him it was a gift for…read moreboth of us and that is exactly what it turned out to be. When he opened it, tears sprang into his eyes and he said something like these pictures are so beautiful and I hope you can now see how I see you. Wow. As everyone else has said, this was an extremely empowering experience. I recently gained some weight and have been feeling bit down about my body. Melissa makes you feel so special and SEXY! Natalie did my hair, which was perfect. My make-up was beautiful and I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name! I opted to do a massage afterwards and that was also amazing--I don't remember her name either and I feel terrible about that! If you are thinking about doing a boudoir shoot and are on the fence, just do it! I felt so sexy and the pictures were so beautiful (I seriously didn't know my butt could look like that!). And the response from my husband just sealed the deal ("I'm going to need some time alone with these").

He is very personable, engaging and fun! We both enjoyed our photo experiences with him because not only did we get wonderful photos but we also had a lot of good laughs. A lot of friends and family have commented on the quality of our photos and how much they liked their interactions with him during our wedding. If you're looking for a photographer, hire Dennis! He's awesome!

My husband and I hired Dennis for our wedding and we are so happy with the results! Dennis is super…read moreeasygoing and flexible to your needs as a couple. He was so much fun to work with and put everyone at ease. On our wedding day, he was very adventurous and we tried all kinds of photos (in a waterfall, in a meadow, out on the dock at night). These are some of our absolute favorite photos!! The value of his services is excellent and he is so quick to answer questions and adapt to your needs. His work is magnificent and we got rave reviews from guest and family about the quality of our photos. A great thing about Dennis is that on the day of, he does a great job of blending into the crowd. You don't even notice he's there and yet he gets all these incredible shots. I remember looking at our album and being delightfully surprised he captured so many meaningful candid moments.

I would recommend this husband/wife team-colorfuldreams4u to anyone. The day we met them, we knew…read moreit was a good match and they would depict my vision of how I wanted our wedding day pictures/video to look! We had our engagement photos done by them around the urban ecology center in Milwaukee. It was the perfect setting, rustic with flowers and trails . I loved every single picture they took. They made it so easy and comfortable as my husband isn't a huge fan of pictures but we laughed and laughed with them and it was an awesome day getting to hang with Gloria and Ron. Fast forward to 7/7/23. I couldn't have asked for better photographer/videographer, every single picture I wanted whether it be with the bridesmaids or family or my husband, they were there. We even added on an hour so we had them for a total of 8 hours. It was worth every penny and every minute to have them. We are more than grateful to have found them and chose them as our photographers. They were patient with everyone and they made everyone laugh. They captured pictures of guests mingling, dancing and just enjoying themselves. If anyone knows me, they know I'm obsessed with pictures and I plan to develop every single one from our wedding day and put them in an album. I also wanted to mention how efficient they are, on the wedding day and completing our video and pictures all within two weeks. It was nice we got our video on our honeymoon so we were able to enjoy watching it together. Gloria and Ron , you do incredible work. We loved having you and we would refer you to anyone. Hope to cross paths again down the road. Thanks so much!
