A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jessica to capture photos of us with our 18 month…read moreold son. The photos turned out beautifully! We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

After a quick phone call to go over the details, he immediately jumped into action and made the entire process stress free. Shaun captured our proposal perfectly and delivered absolutely stunning photos that exceeded every expectation. On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough. I would absolutely hire him again!!

I can't recommend working with Carrie Anne enough. I was nervous going into my session, but she…read moremade me feel so comfortable, safe, and empowered from the moment I walked in. The whole experience was so much fun! I also really appreciated all of her help leading up to the shoot, from styling advice to connecting me with hair and makeup. I felt beautiful that day, and I know a lot of that came from the environment and energy she created. The session ended up being more empowering than I expected. It was something I didn't realize I needed until I experienced it. I'd absolutely work with Carrie Anne again and would recommend her to anyone considering booking a session.

I thought I'd show up, get my pictures taken, that's it…read more That wasn't it AT ALL. The "journey" Carrie Anne set me on leading up to the actual boudoir session was arguably a bigger part of the photo shoot for me. ;) Carrie had a time line of to-do's for me, websites for garments I might want to buy, soooo much I wasn't expecting. And on the way, I found a new comfort with myself. By the time I got to Carrie Anne's for the photography... I was ready for this! I brought extra outfits and accessories and Carrie Anne helped me dial it in for an unforgettable experience. It's been about 3 years since my session and I still recall it like yesterday. I am close to 60 and have never felt so good about myself - not in a vain way. I was absolutely comfortable with me. Carrie Anne has a beautiful way about her. She'll set you at ease, and make this moment an unforgettable and personal experience. DO IT - you'll be happy you did. (Thank you, Carrie Anne!)

Where do we even begin?! Choosing Sarah Williams as our wedding photographer was one of the best…read moredecisions we made. From the start, her energy completely won us over--she's warm, friendly, relaxed, and just so easy to be around. She brought such a calm, joyful presence to both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, making us feel totally at ease in front of the camera. Sarah is incredibly creative, coming to our shoots full of fresh ideas and poses while still staying flexible and open to the moment. On our wedding day, she was everywhere--getting shots from inside the ceremony, through the windows, and even from the balcony above. Her work ethic is amazing, and it really shows in the photos. And the photos... we LOVE them. Truly. So many of our friends and family have told us they're some of the best wedding photos they've ever seen. Sarah managed to capture us--our personalities, our love, the emotion and joy of the day--in a way that feels natural and totally unforced. We're endlessly grateful to her for giving us these beautiful memories. Cannot recommend her enough!

If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with, I highly recommend Sarah.

Her use of light is unparalleled as is her use of nature as the background. Her photographs are majestic, expansive, soft, golden, magical and real. She captures great candids. We have 2 kids and that is always hard but she had several tricks up her sleeve to get the kids to look and she got some amazing shots of the whole family. I just want to frame all the photos she took and cover my house wall to wall =) She's also patient, easy-going and just a overall pleasure to work with. I never share photos of my family on yelp. But I'll break my own rule so you can see how amazing she is.

Not only is she a stellar photographer, but her warm and giving personality also extended to a sort of mentorship when I was becoming a photographer. I have always looked up to her ability to be calm, creative, and kind in fast paced environments. It's something I still struggle with in photography. As a person who is usually behind the camera, many of the photos I have of my children are without me in them. The ones I do have and love are almost all by Melissa. There aren't many people I can trust the way I trust her and I owe my family memories, and my career, all to her. She's the first person I check with when I have a referral and the first person I think of when I need anything personally. And she will always be. Can't imagine things any other way.
