The ease in set-up, communication, and the photographs were top notch and very professional. Her keen eye for the setting, time of day, and artistic impressions were spot on and I am thrilled with my photographs. I plan to return for a full website package with her in a few months. Totally worth my time and money.

Carolyn has an absolute pleasure. Let me start by saying she is one of the kindest people I have…read moreworked with. She's extremely flexible and understanding, which is crucial during the newborn phase as a new mom. As far as the photoshoot itself... when we got started, my husband and I were extremely anxious. Our daughter and two pups are not the easiest to work with and the house was still chaos by the time she came to our house. Her calm demeanor immediately made the experience more enjoyable and relax. She never rushed anything and allowed us to do whatever we needed to calm our nerves down. She is so professional and is wonderful with giving instructions by making you feel good in front of the camera(especially someone with self confidence issues as myself). I'm so thankful and will certainly hope to do a photoshoot with her annually!

JCP Portraits has pros and cons- it really depends on the picture you need. I would not recommend…read morethis for any young children/big families due to the short 15 minute session length where it is very hard for any child to warm up and give a good photo. Be prepared to stay for an extended period after the session where they edit the photos in front of you, you sort and pick sizes and package etc. It is not enough time to make an educated decision. The session fee was $15 so not bad but we only got 5 good pics. There was no offer to get these 5 digitally at a fair price. The biggest critique is that the prices and sales were not listed anywhere near checkout, the sweet photographer hand wrote the prices for me. They only had a sheet with $400+ "specials"listed but it did not show every option or sale prices. It's designed to be confusing. The way they rush you to make a decision and don't let you see the packages is how you know it's a trap. Especially when you likely aren't getting great bang for buck depending on the type of session. The majority of the photos in my package were so blurry they are useless. I wouldn't be so upset if they hadn't cost so much and there wasn't a rush to buy a package. For JCP to be considered a budget option is not accurate

So thankful for the experience of taking pro- photos with my new family my 7 month old had a great…read moretime with the photographer who helped us with poses and getting comfortable taking pictures together! We had a huge selection of backgrounds to pick from and I already knew what I wanted from looking at the gallery online! We felt it was the best value for our first time taking professional photos together as a family, we got a cute package of coasters and mugs which I value so much to have as a keepsake! ( I'm huge on collecting mugs) now I have a cute collection of mugs with my adorable little one and husband on them thank you so much for the lovely time and kindness towards us!

Great for people who do not expect much! Got there on time for our 1pm appt. Photographer finally…read moregot to us at 1:45, which honestly was not the problem. The major problem was that when we did get to the back to take the photos, the first thing she said was "we have to hurry. We have 15minutes because I have other families I have to do." I smiled because I knew from getting photos done elsewhere in the previous years that there was no way to take photos for a family of 8 in 15minutes and get great photos. And I was correct, she rushed us through, got finished in 30min and my photos showed it. The guy doing the review of the photos rushed us thru as well. Did not get a good view of the photos but the guy was persistent on the cost being over $250. I was really disappointed but tried to make the most out of it. Finally found coupons that got my price down to $160ish. Really could have taken better photos from my phone. And to put the icing on the cake, they cannot print the photos. They tell you anywhere for 3 -48hrs, you will receive an email with your photos. And I did receive them in 24hrs and wanted to cry. Did some of my own cropping and editing and out of the 6 full family photos taken, only 2 were frame worthy. SMH!! Before booking with them, please consider a professional photographer or just a tripod for your phone!

Highly recommend!! Tammy is the best!! We had her take newborn photos and she did an amazing job…read more She took beautiful photos and has no problem standing on chairs to get the perfect photo. She also allowed our session to go longer than we booked so that I could breastfeed when the baby needed breaks. Also she edited every single photo for those little baby acne bumps or cradle cap. Tammy is such a terrific photographer and person. She also has a little one and knew some tricks on calming baby etc.

As good as it gets! Tammy was recommended to us by a friend who also had her engagement shoot and…read moreeverything conveyed was realized. Tammy is professional, prompt, and personable. She immediately made us feel comfortable, was flexible with our schedules and was willing to go the extra mile every step of the way. We were able to have both an indoor and outdoor portion and she was even able to recomm nend a makeup artist. As far as the work, her portfolio speaks for itself. She has a true eye for capturing joy and frames her shots in a way to really immerse you in the experience- a strong mixture of tight close ups itermixed with grander full frame shots. She also just made the experience extraordinarily fun and memorable which after all isn't what we're all really looking for? I recommend her whole heartedly and hope you enjoy your experience as well!

What sets Carrie apart from other photographers that I've worked with is her ability to put you at…read moreease. Her magic is in her kind, warm, bubbly personality...it makes you feel like you can truly be yourself, which can be tricky when someone is staring at you with a camera. Carrie truly loves what she does when she's behind the camera, so it makes the time you spend with her fun. Her energy and warmth are infectious! Carrie captured the most precious moments for my husband and I for our engagement photos, she also took our wedding photos at the Seattle courthouse last spring which turned out beautifully, and this fall she will be taking our wedding reception photos in my home town, and I can't wait. My husband and I have done the whole engagement-wedding thing in a very non-traditional way, so hiring Carrie was the perfect choice because she won't give you cookie cutter pictures. Carrie is imaginative, playful, and spirited...her images reflect her creative flair. Our pictures were romantic yet very personal, she captured the best moments! I think it's safe to say, we love Carrie! And all of our most special moments have a theme that is unique to Carrie's eye.

Carrie is personable, amazingly talented and will for sure capture real, meaningful moments that…read moreyou will treasure for a long time to come. She is bar none the best photographer we've worked with! We've now had several sessions with her, and I can't truly express in words how much we appreciate the work she's done in capturing these events/moments for us. For example, we booked a newborn session with her, however after giving birth to my son and having a difficult postpartum experience, I was not exactly in a place where I felt awesome about myself, and definitely did not feel up to being in front of a camera! I really only wanted pictures of our newborn son and some with my husband and son. She gently convinced me otherwise, and I have to say I'm so SO happy she did. I was amazed that although I didn't feel particularly stunning or camera ready, she captured beautifully simple and authentic interactions between a mother and her newborn son. It didn't matter how I looked/felt, the pictures turned out beautifully and those happen to be my most treasured of us. She is a mother of two herself, so she was so very patient with working with our little one! She takes pride in her work, and it shows in the final product. You will be elated!
