That's essentially what an Atomic Cheesecake shoot is like. Stacey's outgoing personalty made me immediately feel at ease like she was an old friend, and her hair, makeup and posing direction gave me a huge confidence boost. I drove up from Virginia and it was was totally worth it!

Oh my - if you need a solid newborn photographer, book a session with April! Her online portfolio…read morewas impressive of course, but given there is literally a small window of time to get the "perfect" newborn photos, I was very nervous. I got burned with my wedding photographer (so many many years ago, but I was so unhappy with finished product that I feel like it was yesterday), so I did not want the same to happen again with another of life's important milestones. But it was so unnecessary - April is so patient, so professional, and so kind! She bonded with my newborn immediately and took her time to get the best shots. I mean she REALLY took her time. You can tell she understands and realizes that every shot is a reflection of her work and the pride in her work, and she takes no shortcuts. Her studio is ?in flux - she is supposedly trying to find a new studio, but in all honesty, her current one seemed fine to me (ignorance is bliss?). Her prices (session+photos) are not cheap, however they are indeed reasonable given her level of expertise. Remember you get what you pay for, and what you pay for is an experienced professional and excellent photography. I am in the process of ordering announcements and print photos from her now (so difficult as so many of the proofs are simply gorgeous), and I am sure I will not be disappointed. I will update my review when they are delivered. I highly recommend April (she is also seemingly the "newborn whisperer" in my opinion, LOL...I wanted to take her home with me for those 3am crying spells!) UPDATE: Got my announcements and photos! Love, love, love! Fantastic quality as expected, and presented in a lovely neutral-toned rugged keepsake box and ribbon: the proverbial icing on the cake!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Jenifer photograph our tiny backyard wedding, and I…read moregenuinely can't believe how much she captured in just a couple of hours. Because our wedding was so intimate, we only needed photography for a short time, but you'd never know it from our gallery. She somehow documented every meaningful moment, the quiet in-between glances, the laughter with our families, the little details we didn't know we needed, and so many candid moments that perfectly captured the feeling of the day. Jenifer has such a calming, kind presence. She never made us feel like we were posing or performing for the camera. Instead, she let us simply enjoy our wedding while she worked her magic in the background. The photos are stunning - timeless, emotional, and so beautifully edited. Every time we look through them, we're transported right back to that afternoon. If you're planning a big celebration or a small, intimate wedding like ours, I can't recommend Jenifer enough. She made every minute count, and she gave us memories we'll treasure forever. We feel incredibly lucky that she was part of our day.

Hello Bethany, My…read morewebsite feels natural, elegant and joyful, and it's driving traffic for my business! I will continue looking to Bethany, owner of Digital Story Design and Bethany J Photography, for her contemporary, sophisticated and user based digital story design ideas. My quest was to integrate being as creative as possible, with both my photography and my passion for writing, all while maintaining an elegant and fresh website design to drive traffic to my business Stock Tales & Manes. Bethany guided me to the best templates for my photography portfolio and how to integrate story writing to create an online business integrating my Instagram, Facebook, and making sure my users enjoy having a great experience on my website. She created a contemporary user friendly design that I would have never been able to achieve on my own. The custom created rooms with my photographs already framed created a timeless portal for my user to see my art on the walls in their own home. Each month, Bethany and I create and decide on what stories and photographs came together to update my blog and add new photos from my current photoshoot projects. I love being able to continue to collaborate with Bethany's fresh and creative ideas on a month-to-month basis. Watching my web traffic grow from this continued collaboration is game-changing! Going with a talented website designer who is also a photographer saved me tons of time, money, and because I choose to go with a monthly update, I can plan for each phase and project. I couldn't be more joyful, and I look forward to executing my next two websites for my other businesses with Bethany! -AB, Stock Tales and Manes

In the session in his Hampden, he took lots of shots so that I had plenty to select from for retouching. His communication was quick and my pictures were ready within a few days of the session. I was thrilled with the quality of the photos and selected my two favorites to use. I present often and having a quality headshot is essential to my brand. Thank you Dennis for a great experience and ever better pictures.

Dennis is great at making you feel at ease, even when you're not used to getting photographed (at my wedding I was pretty much oblivious to the photographer presence!).

I booked Carrie this summer for a family photo shoot while visiting my in-laws in Maryland. The…read morephotography services were fine, and Carrie was very personable and patient, managing five adults, a toddler, and a dog extremely well. My experience on the administrative end is the reason for this review. Perhaps this is all a fluke, but I had to follow up with Carrie repeatedly on booking the photo shoot (there seemed to be some issue with her e-mail system), she did not deliver the photos within the contracted time or communicate about any delays -- and only delivered them after I followed up almost a week after the contracted time, and when the photos were delivered, I had to follow up again because the photos were not in a private album (as contracted) and were named with a different family's name (neither mine nor my in-laws' family name). She agreed to rename the photos and again, it wasn't until I followed up nearly two weeks later, and then after four days of no response from Carrie afterward, that she confirmed the renaming was done.
