We had a very okay experience with Small farm photography. We had 3 sessions scheduled, a new born, 6, and 12 month. Newborn session was okay, but very heavily edited photos. We asked for unedited photos twice and was told we would get them and never did. 6 month session was quick, rushed and we didn't even save or print a single photo from that session. We just didn't like them. 12 month session was scheduled, and I had paid 2/3 of the bill. I didn't want to pay all of it until closer to the 12 month, anyway we had been in contact 3 times with Kailey about our 12 month session, one was two weeks before the session. The day before session I reached out to be sure it was still on, and was told she never bought a cake because I hadn't paid the last bit of money I owed. I then said we literally just talked, why wouldn't you mention that or text me so I could have paid? She scrambled to get it ready, but we ended up canceling it altogether. I feel bad saying this but we just cannot recommend. Better experiences are all over in the area. read more

If I could give zero stars I would!!! I hired Kailey for my second son's newborn photos as I never did any for my first son! She rescheduled 3 times and then said she would not be able to do to the pictures! And by then my son was no longer a new born! Very annoying and disappointing! read more

DO NOT TRUST Small Farm Photography WITH YOUR IMPORTANT EVENTS OR YOUR MONEY!! She was supposed to photograph my friends wedding and got into an "accident" days before leaving her unable to attend. We all felt horrible for the photographer, only to see on Facebook days later that she photographed a different wedding that weekend. It also took 2 weeks for her and my friend begging her to get her money back. Unacceptable!!! read more

After reading these reviews, I feel the need to add my experience today. I booked a Fall Mini with her for my three kiddos. On the original date, the weather was awful. She had great communication. Emailed the night before what would occur if they would be canceled because of weather. Sent a text the next day canceling it. So, I rescheduled for today at 1 pm. I arrive today with my three children including a 10 month old whose just getting over being sick and was crabby but hey, this would be my first professional picture of him and it was only going to be 15 min long so I thought I would make it work. At exactly the time my session was to start, I get an email canceling it per the text she said she sent out (which I did not receive this time) and she was sending out an email as a reminder to those whose numbers may be out of service. She stated a full refund would be issued and received within 5-10 business days. I replied and said I never received any text and we were at the location now and I thanked her for the email. Her reply stated my number was one that was out of service and she apologized. No, mam, my number was not out of service. I received the text the first time around. Based on others reviews, I am presuming there was no actual text sent out, that's she gaslighting to try and cover a lie. Needless to say, I broke down in tears. My 10 year old convinced me to do our own photo shoot w my phone and they didn't turn out too bad! Needless to say, I will never recommend her. I hope I get my refund. read more

Hi! I wanted to share a *buyers beware* of Kailey Rooks and Small Farm Photography. My sister booked her months ago for her wedding last weekend 11/4 and 3 days before Kailey cancelled with an email that she was in a horrific car accident. We felt terrible, but moved on with a family member who took some photos. Today we find out that she was never in a car accident, she double booked the day and then lied again about it again today when I saw her photos posted of another wedding the same day. The bride confirmed that Kailey did take her photos on 11/4. Unfortunately her FB page isn't set up for reviews, but I definitely do not recommend! read more

Avoid this photographer at all costs if you don't want to lose the chance to capture priceless memories. I hired Kailey to do my newborn lifestyle photos of my second born. In my questionnaire I mentioned how important these photos were for me as we weren't able to get newborn pictures done for our firstborn and it was a huge regret of mine. I was so excited to capture the scrunchy newborn phase and she absolutely robbed me of that ability. She made the appointment for 3/21, came out, DID THE PICTURES (keep that in mind), I got to see a few from the back of her camera and was so excited, and said I'd see some sneak peeks in a few days and then have my photos in 2 weeks. Awesome, great! I got lost in the newborn haze so I sent my first follow up email 4/17 since there had been no sneak peeks and I hadn't gotten an email with my pictures yet. She initially was responding really quickly but those responses got further and further apart. She eventually said that she had uploaded the files in the wrong format and there was no way for her to download them again without compromising the quality so the company she uses was going to fix it and send over the link the next day. Spoiler alert: no link ever came. Apparently they (the company she uses for her online albums) would have to Fedex me a USB drive to protect the quality of the photos. 4/28 I again touched base and she said they had sent it and it was delayed due to large volume of whatever since it was graduation season. 5/1 she said she'd get me a tracking number, no number was sent 5/9 i reached back out and said hey there's no tracking number from Fedex coming to my house- no response 5/11 I sent another email, she says the company sent it to the wrong address and it was returned to sender, still won't tell me the company name or the tracking number 5/14 emailed, no response 5/20 emailed no response 5/24 emailed no response I finally booked a new photographer to capture family pictures for us since my newborn was already 2 months old at this point and looks completely different. I've been told from others (including photographers) that this is her MO. She will overbook herself, lie, and not get you your pictures. If she had been honest and said hey I messed up we need to redo your pictures I would have been totally fine with that but for her to drag this out for 2 months and blatantly lie to me it's absolutely ridiculous. read more

Kailey was supposed to do my newborn photos in early September. She cancelled on me THREE different times, all for different reasons... one being her son was in the hospital. Yet, she did several events around the time she was supposed to do mine. I had to ask several times for a refun when I paid around $300. Eventually she refunded. Terrible at following through with her comittments. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS GIRL! read more
