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. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. 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 admit, I had an ulterior motive for asking Zahar from Raskin Studio to do my professional photo…read moreshoot. I get lots of pictures taken of me, and in almost all of them, I feel awkward, and it shows. This is especially painful when taking 'out and about' pictures with really attractive women, who are used to showcasing their pics on the internet - you definitely don't want them to feel that they're doing a favor by posting it - make your friends look good. In any case, Zahar spent over an hour and a half with me, taking around 100 photos to help me get comfortable and teach me how to pose and take good pictures. This resulted in a few fantastic, professional photos that I have since posted on many social networks, including personal and business ones, and have been lauded several times for. I know feel much more confident in getting my picture taken, and have a professional portfolio for future career development. What else can you ask for.

Lauren was the lead photographer for both our engagement and wedding photographs. She is incredibly…read moretalented and hard-working, and just so so kind! We absolutely love her and are so glad we were able to meet her. She has a special eye for beauty. Our engagement photos were on a super chilly, grey day in Boston. Lauren took us to Faneuil Hall, where she had never shot before, and spent time scouting it ahead of time in the cold before we even showed up. During the subsequent shoot, it felt so leisurely, she made us so comfortable even when posing with hundreds of tourists in the background. I think she inherently can pick up on the personalities of couples and really try to cater her shooting style to them to make them feel comfortable. When our engagement photos came back, we were absolutely stunned and couldn't wait to have her again for Wedding Day. The wedding itself was a blur, but I remember every moment with Lauren and Wayne, our second shooter. They were a dream to work with, blending into the background and capturing moments that I didn't even know existed! Some of our favorite photos were close-ups of guests' expressions during the wedding; she really knows how to capture the warmth, personality, and small moments. It's incredible that Lauren is still relatively new to the business given the quality of her skills. I just know she's going to a big name in wedding photography someday. We are so happy to have met her and hope that we can continue to have her be our photographer for many years to come.

I stumbled upon Lauren after seeing photos she shot of a styled shoot that my hairdresser had…read moreparticipated in. When I reached out to her to see if she would be willing to take on a multi-family photo shoot (the families of me and my three siblings) in the hopes to getting a great group shot to surprise our mom with for the holidays, Lauren did not hesitate to respond with enthusiasm and great ideas for how to structure such a shoot. From the get-go she responded to every email quickly and I felt confident with moving forward with her and this somewhat complicated project. As part of her process, she also scheduled a phone call with me to learn about what types of photos we hoped to capture and to learn about each of my siblings and our children so that she would know the names and priorities of this massive group of clients! The day of the shoot, at Piers Park in East Boston, Lauren arrived early and was already set up and ready to shoot when our session time started. She immediately addressed each of my siblings, their significant others and their children by name- her memory for all the information I gave her on the planning call was amazing! It made the shoot feel so personal from the beginning. The shoot involved five children (a 9 month old, 12 month old, 15 month old and two 3 year olds) which had the potential to be a real circus. The kids all took turns melting down, but Lauren never lost her cool and kept coming up with different ways to engage them and to get different pairs of (non-screaming) children together. Her quick thinking and positivity really made a difference to our experience. After the shoot, Lauren delivered us a full gallery of photos within two weeks of the shoot date, as promised in her contract. The photos are AMAZING. She has a real talent. You would never have been able to guess from the photos that it was a gray, cloudy afternoon and that the children had been in meltdown mode. We had so many potential shots to pick from to give to our mom. I cannot recommend Lauren enough for photography- not just family photography but weddings too. I got married two years ago and paid a really renowned photographer to do our pictures, and I am not nearly as happy with those as I am with the ones Lauren took. We cannot wait to engage her for more photos as our little one grows up. She is organized, responsive, talented and just an awesome person!

I would definitely work with her again, and would recommend her to any families looking for toddler and family pictures.

She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!
