    Melanie is amazing. She saved the day for my small, elegant beach elopement…read more I had been speaking to photographers for months and couldn't find anyone that I liked their work enough to hire who was available with less than a year's notice. In comes Melanie, who I happened to find by accident through a Yelp promo email. She had another shoot earlier in the day, but bc we were doing a later beach elopement ceremony and reception, she could do it! Signing the contract and working out all the details online and via email was easy. She sent me some paperwork to give her details and then we had a phone conversation to discuss and get to know one another. On the day of - she texted me, showed up exactly on time, and was a dream to work with. So friendly, so kind, so helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my family and was so easygoing. She posed us wonderfully and rolled with the punches when a few things didn't go as planned (it's a wedding, it's going to happen!). Absolutely professional. The photos we've been given so far as a preview are stunning and I can't wait to see the others. Everyone raved about how kind she was and how much they liked our photographer afterwards, and when we've sent a few photos, they've all been blown away. I feel lucky to have found Melanie, and her husband Chris, to shoot my day and would recommend her to anyone who asked me for any photos. If we need family portraits or special pics taken in the future, she's our girl!

    100/10 RECOMMEND!!…read more Melanie is the absolute SWEETEST person! I found her on Facebook when looking for someone to do my maternity pictures 7-8 months ago!! My maternity pictures are STUNNING and I've never felt more beautiful or loved my body as much as I did then and it was my third pregnancy! My kids absolutely ADORED her and my 3.5 year old son remembers her as the lady who loved his dinosaur toys. I booked our fall pictures with her on my birthday for our second photography session with her! Those pictures are soooo good and my kids were so uncooperative! Melanie also was absolutely amazing with my kids that day too! I booked my daughters first birthday pictures and cake smash with her in June! I'm so excited for those pictures because I just know how absolutely beautiful they are going to be!!! Definitely book a photography session with her! It's very worth your money And she's such an amazing photographer and a sweet person!

    Another year, another amazing experience with Anika. Please go back and read my original review for…read morea thorough breakdown of my previous experience. This experience was just as wonderful, if not more! Our session this year was on this past Sunday, a super cold winter day and we were her last session of the day. We were so excited for the beautiful boho setup and my toddler couldn't wait to see Ms. Anika's horses. When we rolled up, we were greeted by her same warm smile and it felt like it hadn't been a year since we saw her. Anika instantly makes you feel comfortable, which is so refreshing! I enjoy talking to her during the session and in all of our correspondence. She started off taking some photos of my husband and son. My toddler was super distracted by Anika's kitty, which was roaming around. It was so cute, and I don't know how she still managed to get incredibly beautiful photos of him while he was so distracted, but she did. The set for this year was so beautiful, with a boho style egg chair surrounded by sparkling, lit Christmas trees and other Christmas themed decor. She got great ones of all of us sitting in the chair, of myself and my son, and of just him. Once we finished with the set, she allowed my toddler to meet her beautiful horses - and he even got to pet them! 3 days later, he is still talking about the horses on the farm and how much he loved petting them. We then took some photos in a grassy area, with the setting sun behind us providing the most beautiful golden light. All of the photos are just indescribably beautiful. It was even more special that I am pregnant this year (and showing!) so we were able to get some wonderful maternity shots. Thank you, Anika, for giving us these memories two years in a row! We couldn't be more pleased and are looking forward for many more shoots with you!

    Anika is AMAZING! She took time with us and knew exactly what shots would make a great photo. She…read moregives great direction and was worth EVERY penny!!!!

    Jenna is a freelance photographer with a very photojournalistic approach to her craft. After…read morestalking her on Facebook for a while I asked her to do some photos of my daughter, and it was definitely money well-spent. She likes to shoot at twilight, which was fine with me, and she let me pick the location. We met in Bryan Park, and Jenna went to work... she'd find spots between the trees with great light, drop the blanket down, and start shooting... she was great to work with- very flexible, focused... you can tell she enjoys her work and she's very committed to getting the best out of every shot. And OMG the results so far are AMAZING. I haven't even seen the whole shoot yet, but she generously posted 3 photos on FB and my kid has never looked better. Seriously- she turned an ordinary baby into a little angel. She caught her best features, her best angles... it's amazing. Jenna has a real talent, and I enjoyed working with her. So much so that I'm going to try to book her for my daughter's 1 year photos as well...

    Jenna has to be one the kindest people I have ever met and she is also an incredibly talented…read morephotographer. 4 weeks before my wedding I found out my photographer was unavailable. As a panicked bride, words cannot express my gratitude for Jenna. She stepped right in and was cool, calm, and collected. Everything I needed! Jenna was accommodating and flexible during my wedding, taking photo requests as well as working them room on her own. I have only received a few "sneak peek" photos and they are amazing! Jenna is the undiscovered talent of Richmond, if you are looking for a great photographer, look no further.

    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!

    Sarah is one of the best photographers I have ever had! My husband and I moved here about 9 months…read moreago, and we don't really know anyone. 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.
