In a time when anyone and everyone seems to be calling themselves a photographer, its refreshing to know there are still trained professionals out there who can give you the photos you dreamed of. We are so grateful for her time and energy! She held our hands through the entire process, and made sure we felt comfortable. We highly recommend her to everyone, especially those with small children. She's magic!!

The Shoot: This was our 4th session with Meredith but our…read morefirst time working with her outside the comforts of NYC. Like every other previous session, she brought her energetic spirit and magnetic charisma behind the camera. I still don't know how, but she manages to capture so many moments of candid magic. Whether indoor or outdoor, pre-planned or off-the-cuff, Meredith never fails to bring out the absolute best in us with every session. A good photographer may take flattering pictures, but Meredith is an artist that captures moments. The emotions and actions in front of her lens are perfectly preserved in time and I cannot stress how much of a difference it makes to be able to look at her work and see the joy and love expressed in it. The Products: By now we've enjoyed several products that I think I can provide a recommendation here. 1.) First and foremost is the album. Whether you go with the leather, linen, or the hardcover, get yourself an album! Regular albums contain a series of photographs that are nice to look at, but what you'll put together with Meredith is a story captured in images. The narrative you build with her is woven into the album in a way that you just can't replicate by yourself. It may not seem all that significant if this is your first album, but you'll understand it a year from now when you look back. 2.) The think the gallery canvases are the best way to display your moments on the walls of any room. The quality of the images are excellent and worth every penny. I recommend using them in a 2- or 3-part series if you have a wall that can accommodate. 3.) The crystal trio is what regular acrylic frames wish they could do. With the image professionally affixed to the block, there is no wear and tear on the image, no magnets to rub up against the photo, just a perfectly preserved picture with a high quality acrylic block that creates a beautiful effect that you don't get with anything else. The moments that you want to revisit over and over again are the ones you want to preserve in these. 4.) The digital collection is my personal favorite. Take the images and throw them on your smart TV or whatever streaming device you use and you've got yourself a big screen digital frame. Set them as a slide show in your screen saver or background on your computer or phone and you can enjoy them in your office. If figuring out the order to display the photos is not something you want to spend time doing, the image slideshow Meredith produces are an exceptional way to get the "story" feel from the album in a digital form. TL;DR: If you want to preserve the meaningful moments in your life or those around you, this is your photographer. Get her scheduled now and you can come back and read this review later.

Michelle was great throughout the whole process - always very quick to respond to my emails and calls and very professional. During the shoot, she was awesome with the dogs. She knew what exactly to do to get their attention so they would look at the camera, made recommendations on what props would look best in the scenes, and took her time to make sure she got all the shots we requested. The photos came out adorable and I am constantly getting compliments on how great our flyers and marketing materials look. I would highly recommend Hilarious Hound!!

I adore Petra. She was exactly what I wanted in a photographer for my puppy. She was kind,…read morecreative, and super excited for our shoot. I was initially worried my pup wouldn't sit still or look at the camera for his photoshoot, but as soon as it started Petra was able to make him relax and make the most adorable faces for the camera - she's seriously a dog whisperer. The images came out amazing - and she took a MILLION. We sat together right after the shoot and went through them all, deciding on what we loved the most. She gave me both the digital copies of our photos and helped me choose a beautiful canvas print of them as well. It was worth every penny! I'd recommend her to anyone who wants photos of their pet. She makes it a great experience, and the final product is amazing. I will definitely be going back for more!
