We cannot say enough wonderful things about Soul Focus Media. Tracey and her team, Alli and Kate,…read morewere amazing to work with from start to finish.

They responded super quickly after I inquired about availability and price and have been an amazing partner ever since.Tracey was so helpful in my day of timeline/ planning and being around SFM is like being around friends. My husband and I could not have picked a better photography team to spend our entire day with and we are obsessed with every single photo in our gallery. They got sneak peaks to us the DAY after the wedding and our entire gallery sooner than anticipated! They have given us the best gift of capturing all of our emotions of the best day of our lives- and capturing our friends and family so beautifully. We love them.

As someone who is also a professional photographer, you would imagine that I (and my husband!)…read morewould be extremely picky about who we would choose to capture our wedding -- we chose Sam because we loved her eye and style and have been nothing but pleased with our decision. I literally can't stop looking at her beautiful photographs! We hired Sam to and her assistant, Julia, to capture our big day in August 2018 at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House in Baltimore, MD. Boy, did she deliver! From the very beginning, Sam has been 100% professional, prompt and so easy to work with. She also uses an awesome client management system that makes the entire process seamless and so easy for both her and her clients. Before the wedding we did an engagement session -- and it was awesome! We did something themed and a little different and she totally ran with it. We couldn't wait for her to capture our big day after this shoot! On our wedding day, Sam was poised, on time and knew exactly how to capture each part of the day. She corralled all our family members for formal pictures, captured candids, snapped details and even sent us 13 preview photos the day after our wedding as a sneak-peak (how amazing and cool!). I have had several family members express to me how professional and lovely she was to be around on the wedding day and how they love her work! Additionally, Sam is very fairly priced for the high value of work she provides her clients. Again, as a professional photographer, I will be very clear -- you won't find a better photographer in the DMA/PA area at this price point -- PERIOD! We would spend every penny we spent on her services over and over again. Sam, thank you so much. Everyone else, book with her! You won't be disappointed!

:) Let me start off by saying, Thank You Mary for helping me feel relaxed and comfortable. The…read moretruth is I REALLY REALLY do not like my picture taken, it makes me feel uncomfortable and nervous, but I had to get a head shot picture for work. Mary had a very professional demeanor and was laid back at the same time. I thought WOW I am here with this freakin talented photographer and I am getting a head shot. I have never had any professional pictures take of me or my family because of the reasons I stated before. Needles to say I will definitely be bringing my family to her for a family photo shoot and maybe some cool outside shot??? Thanks again! :)

While I wish this review was about celebrating happy moments, it's instead about something deeper…read more-- love, loss, and gratitude. Late on a Thursday evening, I learned that my 16-year-old dog -- my best friend in the entire world -- didn't have much time left. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered hearing about a local photographer, Liz from Brownhaven Photography, and her heartfelt project called Blossom's Buddies. Liz created Blossom's Buddies in memory of her two senior pups, Blossom and Lila, who she loved deeply and lost within months of each other. To honor them, she now offers free photo sessions for senior pets (10 years or older) or for any animal who's received a terminal diagnosis. After digging through old screenshots, I found Liz's info and emailed her around 10pm on a Friday night with the subject line, "Senior Animal Portraits? (My best friend doesn't have long left with us)." By 7:45am the next morning, Liz had responded, and we were making plans to capture my doggo's photos before it was too late. Despite already having a packed day ahead, Liz graciously rearranged her schedule and came to our home at 8am that Sunday morning -- just to make sure we didn't miss our chance. She helped us pick the perfect spot and set the stage for what would become an epic and emotional photo session. Though she offers these sessions free of charge, we made sure to compensate her -- because the peace and comfort she gave us were absolutely priceless. Within just a few hours, Liz sent a preview of the first few photos -- and they were stunning. Somehow, she managed to capture my dog's soul and spirit in a way I didn't think was possible. What I didn't know at the time was that the photos she took that morning would be from his final day with us. He took his last sleep just hours later. In the days that followed, Liz worked quickly to finish the rest of the gallery. Each image took my breath away -- I cried tears of both grief and gratitude, knowing that while I had to say goodbye to my dog's physical body, Liz had given me something I would never have to say goodbye to. Liz is warm, caring, compassionate, and incredibly talented. She showed up for us with heart and empathy on one of the hardest days of our lives. She gave me a gift I will treasure forever -- the chance to see my best friend's light and love live on through her lens. I will never be able to thank Liz enough for her kindness, patience, and artistry. And I hope someday our paths cross again -- under happier circumstances. Until then, I'll keep the photos she gave me close to my heart, and remember that love -- just like her work -- truly lasts forever.

I contacted Jaime of Weir way before anything else was planned, even our wedding date!…read more She was so painfully patient and responsive. I knew I wanted to have their elegant tables at my wedding the moment I saw a photo of them. Weir not only came in and set up tables on time, and according to my floor plan, but I also asked them to hang edison string lights around our venue.They did such a beautiful job, and used some creative liberties in the back of the venue with the lights, since I may have underestimated the length of a beam there. It came out beautiful. I am truly grateful to them, their talent, their service, pricing, everything. Thank you for bringing so much aesthetic beauty to our day!
