Then she delays further by claiming medical conditions and other issues for meeting to finalize the order. Next she claims there are shipping issues. She says she does not issue refunds on package credits. I stead she will offer another session with another package and it keeps adding up. However you will never receive the items you ordered and paid for. Years later your child is 3 and you still dont have the products ordered from credits when they were 2 weeks old.

I heard about Brittany Elise Photography through a close friend, at first I wasn't totally sure if…read morethe full-service experience was something I really needed. But after having my baby, I completely understand the value of it all. I felt so at peace knowing Brittany was a NICU nurse, with extensive experience caring for babies. Her team truly handled everything for me, wardrobe, hair and makeup, gallery wall design, and even printed some of my wedding photos which I have been meaning to do! It allowed me to be fully present and stress free. So glad I booked early and was able to have them do my photos, their services are worth their weight in gold!!

Brittany took my first baby's newborn photos, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I…read morevisited at her studio on Manhattan Ave. but shr has since moved to a new studio in Tampa Heights which looks gorgeous. She makes this whole process relaxing. No wardrobe or props needed, she has everything you need. Baby photos get taken while mom gets hair and makeup done (at an extra cost). When that was finished, she was nearly done with the baby only photos. We took family photos in no time, and it was all done! The whole process took under 3 hours. You are supplied with beverages and donuts at your session. Sneak peeks are posted super shortly, and then you get to come to the studio to see your gallery and choose printed or digital options. Don't get me wrong. She is not cheap by any means, but this quality of photography is truly an investment. Brittany takes it the extra mile and makes it a beautiful experience. The photos are beyond incredible. While we chose an all digital package, she has some unique options for printing including farmhouse frames, these wood blocks that can be hung or stand on their own and prints with ripped edges. Brittany is your girl if you want a more vintage, farmhouse feel to your photos. She is also a former NICU nurse and certified lactation consultant. Your baby is in good hands with her. I will treasure the photos she took and the experience she provided for a lifetime.

Monika from Mona Paris photography is a fabulous and well rounded photographer who is very…read morepersonable. I found her when searching for a photographer for my sister's wedding and we were so very pleased with the outcome of the photographs. She was very patient and was able to capture such an exciting moment for my sister. After such a great experience with my sister's wedding, we booked her again for my husband and I's own anniversary photos. She took so many photos and was able to provide such beautifully edited photographs for us. It was a really nice bonus that we were able to print the photos for ourselves instead of having to worry about which photos we would be able to afford. She also was very creative in coming up with some cute poses for us to do. Monika is a joy to work with and I would definitely recommend her to any friends or family.

For the price of over a thousands dollars I wish I was able to get all the pictures that were taken but the package I chose only allowed 20 photos. Again, I made that choice to use her as a photographer even though I knew the prices. On the day of my session, only Rachel was present - no assistant . I am not sure if this is a typical thing or not but I've read that her assistant has been present during other photo shoots. The pictures after edits came out beautiful and I was happy with the majority of the pictures. One picture my thigh was extremely photoshopped to seem smaller but did appreciate all the bumps on my thighs being smoothed out. I don't regret doing the photo shoot because I have beautiful pictures that captured my pregnancy journey and this is going to be my one and only child. Prior to the session, Rachel made sure to let me know when I needed a break... At first I thought I could push through but I needed multiple breaks and Rachel has snacks and water handy. My mom and the father were included in the shoots and Rachel helped with poses for each pic. I think that Rachel picked up that the hammock shoot was not all coming together as what I had in mind so she did offer me an alternative look to use which came out great. She ensured that different poses were completed during the session. Rachel even took a picture of my mom solo which she didn't have to and it was a beautiful picture. Rachel has a closet of beautiful dresses and materials to choose from.

Updating now that I've also done newborn photos with Rachel…read more There are two reasons I'm taking away a star. I'm still a fan of Rachel (hence the Yay, I'm a Fan rating), but I also could see going with another photographer. First, she isn't super responsive in communication. There were a couple of times I had to both email and text her to get a response. One time she said she thought she emailed me back and didn't (these things happen), another time she had gotten into a car wreck earlier in the week, another she had surgery...I understand that these are all valid excuses, but they really started to add up. I'm type A and I like hearing back in a prompt manner so this took away from the experience a bit. Second, she doesn't have many props for her newborn photoshoot. I saw other people's photos where their babies are surrounded by things (like flowers.) Hers were mainly the baby and like a bucket (which is still super cute, but I also love when the babies are surround by things which add more depth to the photos.) One area where she really excels are her composite photos. She does a couple where the baby is superimposed on a backdrop. They are super unique and I love my Yoshi and bunny photos. I would choose this over props ten times over. I wish we had more family pictures, but that is a personal preference. We got tons of cute baby photos but not that many family ones. It seemed to be kind of tacked on the end. Overall, I love my pictures. I would definitely go with her again for newborn and maternity, but for just every day family pictures where there isn't as much creativity, I think my OCD nature would rather choose someone else.

5 years later and my wedding photos still got range…read more I found Ashley Izquierdo after going down a Pinterest rabbit hole, and the moment I saw her work, I was sold. Booked her immediately -- no regrets. She's based in Florida but traveled to New York with no extra cost, which honestly still impresses me. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and knew exactly how to keep things moving without making anything feel forced (which is a skill in itself). We got sneak peek photos almost immediately -- and our full gallery came back within a very reasonable timeframe. No chasing, no wondering, just results. But what really stood out? She captured EVERYTHING -- not just the posed moments, but the joy, the laughter, the real energy of the day. And yes... she made us look GOOD. Like everybody was in their sexy era without even trying. Even my husband was impressed with how personable she was and how comfortable she made everyone feel -- and he does not impress easily. Five years later, I'm still obsessed with my photos. If you're thinking about booking her -- just do it.

DISCLAIMER: This is more of a letter than a review…read more Dear Ashley, I speak for my entire family when I say, THANK YOU! I get wild notions in my head sometimes and although for the most part I am a planner at my core, I am also helplessly impulsive. I want what I want when I want it and nothing can hold me back when I've made my mind up on something. I seriously had no intention of any vacations for the remainder of the year. I made an announcement to our family early in the year that family time will be limited to nearby weekend getaways. Tampa was not in the cards until one day I was watching a Hallmark movie with my wife and got the notion stuck in my head that I would like a family photo with my mother and sisters. After all, we hadn't had a professional picture done since we were kids. So I called them, and suddenly the entire family was excited with the prospect of a beach photo shoot, including my grumpy but lovable brother-in-law who only likes to visit two places: His sofa and the golf range. I decided a family vacation was in order sooner than later since mom is getting up in age and Thanksgiving week gave us the best opportunity. Enter Ashley Izquierdo Photography. [ THE EXPERIENCE ] After trying to schedule a session with another photographer, but never receiving a call back, I discovered your page on yelp and liked what I saw. I was surprised that you didn't realize you had any reviews on yelp, but at the time all three reviews were 5 stars. Never having worked with a professional before, I was surprised by a few requirements, such as paying in full for my session up front and the minimum guarantee of 45 good photos, but you worked with me to ease my mind and I appreciated you efforts. So many bad stories of prepaying a business for services that are never rendered was a stressful thought for me. I also REALLY, REALLY appreciated how you were lightening fast in responding to my texts as we kept in touch for nearly a month prior to our session. Many times I could see you were typing just seconds after I sent a message. That comforted my anxiety about paying upfront without knowing you (more than you can imagine). Also I appreciate your being on time for our session and the extra effort you made in taking specific photos I requested. While you said our session would be available in your gallery in about 2 to 3 weeks, I was delighted they were ready in just a matter of days. I know I called worried because I had trouble opening the files on my moms archaic computer... but once I was back home in Atlanta, viewing them was a snap. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] My entire family (including those whom saw the pictures but were not there for the session) LOVED your work! At first I thought $350 was pricey since I am good with a camera and could have done the session myself with a tripod, but it was money well spent and I'm so happy to have made your acquaintance. My only suggestion is don't take things to heart so easily. Some people (such as myself) calling to hire you don't know protocol or procedure when it comes to professional photography. Therefore, sometimes a question is just a question... not an attack that you must defend. I truly wish you much success in your future! You are very good at what you do and deserve all the business Yelp can send your way. While we were just a simple 1 hour photo session, your wedding & engagement pics in your online gallery are STUNNING, and your reviews on sites like The Knot & Wedding Wire speak volumes about your talent and professionalism. I hope you enjoyed working with us as much as we did with you! Happy to be your first Yelp sale! Thanks again, Richard & Family 2019/8
