Please note, I was banned from her Facebook page before I was even given the opportunity to write a…read morereview. That's no way to treat a paying customer. Brianna appears to have promising talent behind the camera and came highly recommended by other photographers, but her attitude and professionalism left something to be desired. If you have a problem with your session, don't expect her to make it right. Brianna offered to do our family vacation photographs after I asked for photographer recommendations in a private photography group. She booked the trip based on my paid session. Then she booked her accommodations 6-7 hours away, drove all night for our shoot (which she was 30 minutes late for) and was unprepared for posing, getting the attention of small children and the layout/location. There was also a miscommunication about time to file delivery so in my eyes the files were a week late. When the files did arrive, the teaser images that were posted on Facebook were not included. When I contacted her about my dissatisfaction with the whole process and the missing images, she replied that "photographers are hard to please" and then ignored my request for a resolution for a week. We also have an ongoing disagreement about the color difference in the teaser images and the final delivered images. The teaser images are golden and lighter than the other final images to such a degree that trying to hang them in a grouping wouldn't look right. She also did not take the time to edit out random people and trash cans from behind us on the beach. This is something I can do, but shouldn't have to in a paid session. In short, I paid a lot of money to have images that I now can't use because of color differences and the bad taste that has been left in my mouth from the whole experience. 9/18/2015 Update: I have not responded to Brianna's messages about this because she felt no need to respond to my messages when we were having issues. It wasn't until I posted asking for advice about the situation in a Facebook group (without mentioning her name) that her mentor contacted me and acted as a go between for Brianna and I. After that, Brianna did in fact do a handful of re-edits but I had to contact her yet again because the file size was very small. Brianna did send me a larger size of one group family image that I wanted for my Dad when asked, but after all I had been through with this situation I knew I wouldn't print any others anyway and just let it go. As far as my children being difficult and her choice of accommodations, I stand by my original review. I told her up front my children were difficult to photograph, and I understand that 2.5 year old twins are difficult in general so it's probably a good idea to sleep the night before you shoot them and also have a plan for getting their attention beyond "hey look right here!" Additionally, since I posted this review I've been contacted by others who felt similarly about their session so just beware.

Erin was really patient with my scheduling and fit me into her schedule on short notice a few…read moretimes. She was extremely patient with my newborn. When I came in, she had the different set ups ready for my baby. It took more than an hour for my daughter to settle. And Erin did it all, she swaddled and sooth the baby to sleep. She has a tons of props and swaddles. I brought my stuff too but I just bring them as options if she wanted to use them. I just sat back and let her do her magic. We were not rushed as newborns are finicky to get the perfect pictures. I can not wait to see how they turned out. I'm glad that Erin spent so much time capturing amazing pictures which I really appreciate since newborn stage doesn't last long. We can't thank you enough!
