Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email.

The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

I fell in love with their artistry and the way they captured each emotional moment with sincerity. I contacted the owner Dan via email and he responded in a timely manner and was professional throughout the entire process. We had multiple in person meetings with Dan and his wife Kendra to make sure we knew what to expect the day of. Kendra is an amazing photographer, she has a eye for different shots and made sure my hair and dress stayed in place. She helped me keep my composure while Dan was photographing the groomsmen and my husband getting ready. It's important to feel at ease with your photographers, we certainly did. Dan and Kendra are a wonderful team and made my husband and I feel so comfortable. I was a curvaceous bride and they found so many flattering shots and angles. I cried after seeing the images because I couldn't believe I could look so beautiful. Our wedding album is pure joy to look through. They put a lot of effort into making the best day of my life memorable. You are in great hands with Lightshed Photography. Lightshed has a studio in Salem and they do family portraits too! We look forward to having them capture the next chapter in our lives.

He and his co-photographer did a wonderful job at our wedding and I absolutely loved our pictures. They came up with some really fun ideas for poses and they didn't miss a moment of the day! They were very professional and imaginative! I am giving them four stars instead of five only because of the price point.

We got married last summer at the Beauport hotel in Gloucester and they were recommended by the…read morehotel so we didn't hesitate to book them as we saw an album they had at the hotel and we loved the photos. Fast forward to almost a year later and we still are so unhappy with our entire collection of wedding photos that we still have not been able to pick any we love to give to our families. We felt rushed throughout the entire wedding and as a bride I did not need the added stress. There were so many photos he took on the beach and like 89% of those was everyone squinting and sweating. He did not touch up or clean up any and we both felt like we looked awful. So many candid photos of the reception too that did not flatter my guests or everyone seemed awkward. I just would have expected more from this photographer. It bothers us that the photos he and his wife took highlighted unflattering facial expressions or body angles. I wish he would have spent more time making sure I was looking happier or smiling or at least not looking stiff and awkward in our poses. It is not easy to be photogenic and it is their job to ensure the pictures come out amazing. You can't take the time back and I am so regretful we didn't research this better or go with someone else who was more professional in their photo shoots. Now we are just left with a bunch of photos that every time we look at ourselves we are so unhappy.

I am so insanely amazed by the work of Shawn Black. I was lucky enough to participate in a "Body…read moreConfidence" campaign with five other amazing other women and could not have asked for a better experience. I am a bit of a sporty tomboy so I wasn't sure if I would match up to the feminine approach Mr. Black was suggesting. Not only did he help bring out my feminine side but he helped me feel proud of my femininity and to feel accomplished. The pictures he took were absolutely breath-taking. I couldn't believe that these pictures were me! I couldn't stop looking at them... every part was delightful in every way. I wound up giving these pictures to my now-husband for a wedding gift and he was VERY, very pleased. Additionally, Shawn Black is a very down-to-Earth and personable professional. He provides a comfortable, easy-going vibe when you meet with him and makes you feel insanely comfortable when he is taking photos. You feel like you are speaking with a friend rather than "just another wedding vendor". I have seen much of his wedding work as well; had I not chosen a photographer already, I would have begged him to do mine! He is absolutely fabulous and I truly can't say enough about his talents. He is truly the best!
