Karen definitely found her calling with photography. She puts so much behind the scenes thought and effort into her sessions, whether it's outdoors or in her studio with backdrops and props. So grateful for being introduced to Karen!

Words cannot begin to express how thankful and grateful my husband and I are for Jessica Angeline…read morePhotography capturing our engagement photos and wedding. Jessica listened carefully to exactly what we wanted in our consultations and meetings prior to our big day. She was extremely organized and on top of every detail. I have three grandparents who attended the wedding (ages 92-97) and she was able to get the family photos completed right after the ceremony. We will cherish those photos forever! We had expressed that we wanted more candid photos and that is what we got. It was so much fun to look back and relive the day as well as see special moments that we were unable to see. Even better - she had a preview up on her website less than 2 weeks after the wedding which we were able to enjoy while we were honeymooning in Italy. Jessica's professionalism and work ethic is above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jessica Angeline Photography!

From our initial contact we knew we had found a true professional and someone that would be easy to communicate with and work with us to capture our wedding day. Prior to our engagement photo session Jessica was there for us when we wanted to run our outfit choices by her. She had great tips and was excited to share her expertise. We had an amazing time with her and she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. It was an opportunity to get to know Jessica and see that she was easy going and had an excellent eye for photography. Prior to our wedding day Jessica worked with our wedding coordinator to understand the locations we would be in and the timeline of events. On the day of our wedding Jessica was incredible. She was relaxed, organized and on top of getting all the important moments on camera. Jessica is an excellent communicator and helps set up the shots that will blow you away when you see them. After our wedding we had fun seeing the sneak peaks that she provided. Jessica is a social media whiz and her blog post of your wedding is something to look forward to. When we got our full wedding album we couldn't stop smiling. Jessica captured all the pictures we wanted and much more. She pays attention to all the details and after a whirlwind wedding it is a treat to see pictures of all of your guests and the decor of your wedding. Jessica is an amazing person and photographer and we would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to capture the important memories in their life. She is worth every penny!

She made us feel so comfortable and took such wonderful care of our baby. Her vision for the photos was amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photoshoot. The studio was warm for our baby so she wouldn't get cold. She had props, outfits and tons of bows to choose from. We haven't seen the final pics, but got to see some of the amazing shots she took on the camera during the process. They were phenomenal. We shopped around for photographers before choosing her and found her to be very affordable. The location of her studio was easy to get to, although not wheelchair accessible since it is upstairs. Next time we do a session, it will probably be outdoors on location somewhere because she does that too! All around great experience and will definitely be taking photos with her again!!!

We were blown away by the experience working with her from first contact through to delivery of the final photos. Our wedding was quite non-traditional which Cari approached with care, enthusiasm, and refined creativity. Before the event we connected and she grasped our style effortlessly and with attention to detail via her questionnaires and great communication. Her final photographs not only captured the spirit of our vintage-themed celebration but also elevated it! There's magic in how she captured our community and she approached everyone with true empathy. The real cherry on top was how much Cari's presence added to my and my husband's enjoyment of the wedding itself. I felt like we were old friends and she was completely engaged with us. She has a great sense of humor and guided us through the entire event with an excellent sense of timing, awareness, and relaxed demeanor. Cari went above and beyond to photograph everything we discussed and more, she helped keep us aware of the time as we were being pulled in a million directions. She aptly suggested we step away from the whirlwind a few times that allowed for us to take a breath. Those were my favorite moments of the evening. Cari, you contributed so much joy to our wedding and handed us a breathtaking photographic collection that we will treasure forever. Thank you for sharing your skill and the gift of your presence with us. It almost makes me wish we could have another wedding, hehe. But instead I'll just continue to wholeheartedly recommend you to my friends and family with their own nuptials on the horizon. I hope our paths cross again!

We rescheduled for weeks to get the perfect day, and that is a testament to how accommodating and considerate she is to make sure we loved our photos. And we sure did - she used a mix of film and digital and I was blown away at her attention to detail and her eye for creating the perfect shot. We are not the most photogenic and she made the process so easy, giving us poses/prompts and cracking jokes along the way. Truly a joy to work with and would do so again in a heartbeat!

We booked a special mini session with Alecia and I can't recommend her enough! I had a little…read moretrouble booking through her website, but she quickly responded and helped me troubleshoot. When the last spot was taken, she messaged me directly to let me know she opened up more times. We met her at a little park where she was set up and ready to go as she had back-to-back mini-sessions. Despite it being a mini session (just 15 minutes I think?); we never felt rushed. I'm not sure how she accomplished that! She must be a wizard! During the shoot, I felt confident she got some great shots. She had a blanket set up on the grass for our 6-month-old upon arrival. 6-month-olds are tricky since our baby couldn't sit on her own, and she also refused to lay on her back. Alecia was clever with her poses and had my baby girl and our 5-year-old son lay on their tummies. We moved to several locations in the park including a cute wooden footbridge. We got a very cute shot with her laying her head on his shoulder! Alecia was so sweet and had great energy during the shoot! We really enjoyed her personality and vibe! We felt so comfortable which is so important when you're doing a photoshoot. Although we didn't do a full family shoot, we just did our two children, she really made us feel at ease! I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! We loved the photos and I'm grateful we were able to catch our kiddos at this moment in time: my son's 5th birthday and our daughter at 6 months. Children grow so quickly and I truly treasure having these photos. If you're looking for a sweet photographer who can get your kiddos so smile, make you feel at ease, and capture bright, cheerful photos, look no further -- Gingerly Snapped checks all the boxes!

The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing.
