She guided us through the whole process and has a very professional website and technology program for the whole process. During the photo shoot, she was awesome!!!

She captured the most beautiful pictures and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! She edited and gave us our final images way faster than we were expecting. We would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future!

I was looking for a maternity photographer in Virginia - and I found Rare Rose Imagery on yelp!…read more I went on Erica's website & inquired. She emailed right away and we were able to talk through email, texting and a quick phone call. What I loved about Erica was her fast communication through email/texting. At the time that I found Erica I was in California and I had my (now fiancé) speak to Erica a few times because of our time difference. Erica and Tony kept in touch with planning our session which made it super easy for me to just focus on outfits. Lol! I let her know I was looking for maternity & outdoor photoshoot. She exceeded my expectations. We confirmed date and time then she let me know the location few days closer to our photoshoot date. Erica certainly knows how to pose (Tony & I) since were not photogenic lol. We received our photos in a drop box pretty fast! She emailed me the link. Our pictures were edited as well. Edited to perfection. Overall - Erica is such an amazing photographer! Super friendly, super fun & social! My maternity shoot turned into an engagement shoot towards the end of our session. Erica has captured memories forever. I will continue to use Erica far as I am in Virginia but my fiancé and I highly recommend her!

If I could give Sarah ten stars, I would! Choosing her as our wedding photographer was easily the…read morebest decision we made for our big day. From the initial inquiry to the final gallery delivery, the entire experience was flawless. Sarah is the definition of a professional. Her contract was straightforward and easy to understand, and she was incredibly responsive and easy to get a hold of throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day itself, she was prompt and even arrived early, which immediately put my mind at ease during the morning rush. I'll be the first to admit that I am not "good" at having my picture taken... I usually feel awkward and stiff in front of a camera and my self esteem isn't the highest. However, Sarah made me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. She has such a gift for direction and used unique, creative poses that felt natural rather than forced. My guests and wedding party haven't stopped talking about how much they absolutely loved her energy; she truly felt like a part of the family while still staying incredibly focused on her craft. I specifically asked for a focus on candids, and Sarah delivered beyond my wildest dreams. She captured the raw emotion and "in-between" moments perfectly, and every single edit was breathtakingly beautiful. Her pricing is amazing for the high level of talent she provides, and to top it all off, she delivered our full gallery ahead of schedule! I had actually hired Sarah previously for a friend's maternity shoot, and after seeing her work there and now at my wedding, I am a customer for life. We are already in talks about my own maternity photos this coming spring! If you want amazing value, exceptional photo quality, and a photographer who makes the day stress free, hire Sarah. I had tears looking through my gallery and I cannot believe how beautiful I look and how well she captured my day. Especially the moments I wasn't able to see for myself. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

After searching through Yelp trying to find a great photographer, Sarah popped up. My husband and I were eloping, and I really wanted someone to catch the intimate moment between the two of us. We have been together since high school, and this was so important to me. He also hates getting pictures done, so it was nerve racking. But, after months of us talking, me making so many changes, it was perfect. She showed up early, and stayed way longer than expected, and we held some great conversations to make my husband feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond for us, and I will be externally grateful. She is also very well priced for the service she provides with all of the time she outs in the photos. Will be booking with her as long as I'm on the east coast.

I emailed her on March 29th it is now May 7th, I have not received a had a response. I guess this is just another example of portrait innovation terribly horrendous costumer Service. I have since been in contact with a representative from portrait from portrait innovations. I was advised that the policy of a set number of shots in order to see your photos has been changed, which was wonderful to hear. The representative also offered me a $15 gift card in hopes that I would give portrait innovations a second chance. I have decided to pass on the offer. Unfortunately do to the overall experience I had with this company I am not willing to go back. I wish this company all the best in the future.

We have toddlers who…read morewere fed and ready to take pictures and there was no notice that they were running behind at all. No call, nothing. I literally paid a good amount of money for a professional make up artist to do my make up or else I would've walked away. To add insult to this terrible beginning, our photographer was a 19 year old who simply wanted to meet her number of 60 pictures taken & made no effort in coordinating a good family photo. We hated every picture & settled for one which we confirmed we hated. We were very disappointed in the service & overall experience. Poor customer service, poor time management, straight disaster. Definitely would not recommend! Straight wasted time!

How to even start... Summer is ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED FOR…read moreYOUR BABY'S PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! You couldn't find a better Newborn Photographer if you tried. Go ahead and try. That's right, you couldn't find one. It's cuz she's the BEST. EVERY. SINGLE. IMAGE is perfect. I've been amazed at how she is able to take totally crazy, newborn skin (bumpy, red, splotchy, acne, jaundice, you name it) and make it smooth and creamy- and it looks beautiful and natural. Soooo many photographers don't do this well. I see (too often) images of babies looking red/splotchy and uncomfortable, or the opposite happens and they look waaay over-photoshopped and plastic. Summer is an expert in every way. I look at a baby's face and take a photo with my iphone thinking "they are SO cute!!!!" then I see the photo and I think, "what happened???!!!" lol. She is able to bring out the beautiful serenity of the babies she photographs and also keeps the real and natural "feel" of it all. Her use of color and props is out of this world. You won't find a better planner, as she plans every detail. She makes every hair stay in place (sooo important to my OCD-ness) and is conscious of each little, tiny finger's placement of your baby. She'll take family photos if you beg her, and she makes the new Mommies look sooooo amazing and natural! It's seriously incredible. Here's the reason you are going to believe every word I say. I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER TOO!!! I would bring my own babies to her every. single. time. I trust her THAT MUCH. Do you know how picky a photographer is when choosing her own photographer??? Summer surpasses my expectations every time she photographs! So glad I found this woman!!!

(As a tired mommy it was kinda therapeutic to be in such a peaceful environment while another loving mom took care of my baby for a little while ) I would recommend Bella Rose to everyone--go for it, you'll be so glad you did!

From the beginning, Victoria made me feel as a valued as I'm sure her brides feel. :) She took the time to prepare a custom pre-call survey to make sure my goals and questions were aligned with her guidance during our mentoring sessions, to share with me to absolute most pertinent information, and provided me with tons of feedback prior to our call, as well as reviewing all her notes during our call! What I really loved about our mentoring is that Victoria reviewed all my social media pages, website and marketing efforts for my photography business and she provided feedback on both the areas which I can improve on, also what I am doing correctly thus far. :) With insights she shared with me on client conversions and following up with brides for wedding inquiries - only a week into our mentoring - I've ALREADY booked a wedding!!! If you want to QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY build your wedding photography business, don't wait to contact Victoria! I can tell you from experience you will gain so much insight from the experiences she shares with you, and will provide you with an insane amount of value for your investment. I HIGHLY recommend Victoria as a mentor - she has a true passion for serving and that truly shined through during our sessions. I'm so thankful for you, Victoria!!
