Ginger made the session not only stress-free, but fun. She was very professional and took charge, making sure we got photos of all of us together as well as each family combo we could possibly want. We are thrilled with the photos and may have to add a new wing to the house to make room for all of them that I just have to have framed. I know we will continue to use Ginger as our family grows.

We figured this would be a great time to get family photos done - especially since a year prior our father had passed. I emailed 10-15 people, but Julie was the only one to call to talk through the details. As a new mom with a young one, this went along way (because yeah, I probably would have missed the email). The pricing was also competitive. Definitely worth more :) We worked directly with Eric, and he was AMAZING. We had two infants and a special needs child in our group (again, it was an occasion memorializing your father's passing so tension was high...OH and a lot of family in one place which is always fun). Eric managed it all flawlessly! Anyway our entire group was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of photos and we all found many photos we absolutely love. Getting pictures done is usually not a "fun" thing to do but with Eric and Julie Dreelin' getting photos turned into the highlight of our trip and will be a lastly wonderful memory!

While we were here we thought we should get family photos on the beach to commemorate the occasion and our time together. Elizabeth was incredible with the littles in our family, and we were incredibly pleased with how our photos turned out. She was so easy to communicate with. She watched the weather and had us move our day so we would have beautiful backgrounds. I can't say enough about our experience. Don't second guess booking her!

She was very skilled and the photos we got were absolutely what I was hoping for (I wanted a lot of bright photos- taking advantage of the beautiful sunset lighting- plenty of portraits and candids that captured my little guy who tends to get "serious face" in pictures) Took about 3-4 weeks to turn around, and once they did we were able to download instantly (we pre-paid for the digitals and got a free canvas). She also mailed us a Thumbdrive of the photos to keep. Looking forward to using her for future trips- we highly recommend!

Our photographer, Greg, was funny & moved us through different subsets of our group efficiently.

In fact, as we all were departing our 3-1/2 year old grandson asked if Greg could go to dinner with us! Definitely highly recommend booking with OBX Family Photography!!

Instead of taking responsibility for the delay, he immediately rushed through the session, repeatedly emphasizing that he had another appointment to get to, which made the interaction feel hurried and dismissive. During the session, he stepped away for a phone call that lasted about 10 minutes. While he didn't realize it, I overheard him speaking about my fiancée and me in a disrespectful and derogatory way. What made it even more uncomfortable was that when he returned, he acted as if nothing had happened--switching into a friendly demeanor, smiling, and continuing the session as though the call had been entirely routine. That contrast between what I overheard and how he presented himself afterward was particularly unsettling and left me with serious concerns about his professionalism and conduct.I had a very upsetting experience with Dallas.
