I usually don't like sharing my best kept secrets, because I want them all to myself but I HAVE to…read more(and do) tell the world about Erin! I can't put into words how special Erin is to us! When I think back to our wedding day, I remember the most beautiful, seamless, STRESS FREE day and Erin played a huge, huge part in all of that. From engagement photos, to timeline, to props, posing ideas, and everything else in between, she was on. the. ball. She gave such great ideas and listened to ours and truly made our entire wedding (not just photos) vision come to life! Her communication with me leading up to the wedding made me feel more than comfortable going into our big day! No stress! I had a pretty rowdy crew of a bridal party and her and her hubby (HEY GABE) brought their A game along with a lot of patience, which I know they needed after our party bus! Fun fact: we forgot the rings at our hotel on our way to our ceremony and Gabe went back and got them for us so if you're lucky enough to have Gabe at your wedding, IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. We literally wouldn't have been able to get married without him. Just don't do what we did.....lol We received our photos in more than a timely manner, especially since October was such a busy month for Erin! I've been waiting and waiting to print off our favorites for when we move into our house in June and I cannot wait to do so! Print your photos, people! Not only is she an amazing engagement and wedding photographer, also does beautiful family sessions as well! I recommend her to everyone who needs a photographer and my brother and his family have had multiple family sessions done with her! Family, fresh 48 and 1st birthday! My husband and I are due in August and we can't wait get our family photos done! I know who I'm calling! Basically, if you're looking for a photographer, no matter what your needs are, stop looking and book Erin. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Erin's work is artistic, creative, romantic and stunning as well as we always have received our digital images in a timely manner. We can't wait to be back in town for our daughters' one year photos, we were sad to not use her for our newborn photos (she was booked and we live out of state) as her work with babies looks amazing! I highly recommend her work to anyone looking for baby, family, couple/engagement and wedding photography as her talent will not cease to amaze you for capturing life's most precious moments.

Halverson Photography has been the biz used most when it comes to school photos and youth sport photos for years. Well, I am here to say Elite Photography can do more photos as far as I'm concerned! I of course forgot to order #momlife But alas-- you order online after the photos are taken. Phew. I popped online. Typed in the league my son played in and that populated all the teams. I found his team. Then there were MANY OPTIONS for both team poses and individual ones. (I have never ever gotten to choose the team photo, so I loved that.) There were many reasonably priced packages but I opted for the $15 Memory Mate that had both the team photo and his individual one printed out. It came in days! Overall the process was easy, pricing was on point, options were plentiful-- the end product was awesome. I'd hire Elite Photography for any of your athletic team photo needs!

Beware!!!!!!DISAPPOINTING SERVICE This review has been long…read moredue. I hired Kristen to help us build memories of our 1st newborn child. All I have to say is that we were CHEATED. Kristen had us pay her in full ($400) after the photo session which took place on September 1st 2014 and to date after 9 months, we have not received the prints despite several reminders. First few times she responded in delayed fashion promising she would deliver(and this was now December already). The prints never got delivered, neither were my emails or phone calls returned. As a photographer, I believe she is just average. I do not think I could rate someone's work high if she makes my beautiful child look less than what she is in reality. I am hoping that this review saves someone else from losing the BIG BUCKS for the service she will not provide. If I had a way I would give her no stars in this review. Dipti Agarwal
