Heather took maternity photos for me exactly 1 month before my first child was born. From our very…read morefirst email exchange, Heather was gracious and patient with me as I tried to describe the style of photos I was hoping for. I was wanting to document my body in this very incredible state in a more portrait style setting. While my pregnancy had been extremely joyful, it hadn't necessarily been all rainbows and sunshine; I really wanted the photos to capture that. Heather. Gallagher. Delivered. Many of the photos were nude portraits, and Heather made me feel 100% comfortable and beautiful, even though it was 1,000 degrees in June and I weighed about 1,000 lbs :) They turned out so beautifully, and I had a blast! Photos I will cherish forever and ever. Sadly, since many of the photos were nude, I wasn't comfortable with Heather sharing them on her public portfolio. I hated that for her, but she was super understanding and honored my wishes. She had them edited and ready very quickly. I can't recommend this woman enough!!

Let me start by saying that you simply cannot go wrong with Heather. We contracted her as our birth…read morephotographer and could have not been more happy about it. On our initial meeting she answered all my questions and doubts, and let us know exactly what to expect. When my baby ahead of schedule, Heather was very accomodating, and adjusted her busy schedule that day in order to make it to the delivery on time! She took awesome photos, and stayed in touch with us during our most difficult moments at NICU. Heather is a truly genuine person, the kind of what-you-see-is-what-you-get type. She is very open minded, and approachable. She will make you feel super comfy on the photoshoots, and her work is just amazing!! Overall we are very very pleased. Keep up the good work!

When the time came to contact a photographer for the surprise engagement I was planning, I reached…read moreout to nearly a dozen in the Burlington area. Of these, Moriah immediately stood out. She was proactive, enthusiastic, and immediately impressed upon me a friendly, "I got your back" nature. And she did! I am not local to Burlington and as such she volunteered to scout-out spots in advance and send me recommendations. I was juggling quite a lot in terms of logistics for the plan to come together, and throughout the process Moriah was reliable, helpful, enthusiastic, and flexible. When the day arrived the plan went off flawlessly and Moriah captured it beautifully. She was a pleasure to meet in person and she leveraged her artistic talent, people skills, and area knowledge to capture a set of photos that legitimately took our breath away. She somehow managed to turn a crummy-weather day and two non-photogenic subjects into a memory and a set of images that delight us with every reflection and every look.

She kept up a steady stream of encouragement and direction, she made us laugh, and got into some truly uncomfortable positions. And it worked! We got some truly wonderful photos from the experience. As excellent as the photos came out, it is really Moriah's demeanor and attitude that makes me want to recommend her services.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE, RUINED MY HOPES OF BEAUTIFUL, PROFESSIONAL FAMILY/NEWBORN PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!…read moreExtremely disappointed with the service and the photos we received from Alex at Ambient. When I decided I wanted to get our photos done professionally I searched all around our area to find the best service and the best price. It took lots of energy to convince my boyfriend to participate and split the cost because to him "anyone can take a photo." I ended up convincing him to go with Ambient because the reviews were so good and Alex had a "mother's day sale" where we would be able to have an hour photo shoot including a package of photos and a copy of purchased photos on a disc for $530 (tax included). For us that is a lot of money and we expected we would get wonderful family photos as well as newborn photos of our baby girl. The photo shoot itself seemed to go well. Alex was friendly and the space was nice. He has a beautiful studio and awesome outdoor venue. However beyond that it was a nightmare. Our photos arrived weeks late and the prints were incorrect. The photos were printed in the wrong sizes, damaged in the mail AND our disc of the purchased photos was missing. I reached out to Alex who responded quickly but without a resolution. Days passed and I reached out again. When I still had yet to receive a response my fiance reached out to Alex and finally we got a response. Alex then provided us with copies of the damaged photos in the correct print, a disc of all the photos from the photo shoot and he upgraded our canvas picture. All of that sounded great EXCEPT when we received the disc of photos NONE of them were photo shopped so my daughters baby acne was in full swing and I have had to search for someone to edit them for me. Alex never photo shopped my hair tie off my wrist (I didn't even realize it was on my wrist until Alex told me halfway through the photo shoot). In all of the photos of my daughter on her own her eye crossed and the angles are strange. I was behind my daughter during the time Alex took those photos so I had no idea that her eye had crossed nor that she was at weird angles. We only got a couple prints in color, the rest were all black and white. My hair tie is in almost every photo. There are only a couple pictures I remotely like at all and none I am in love with. The canvas picture took almost 3 months to arrive and Alex does not develop his own photos. My daughter is absolutely beautiful and Alex didn't capture her beauty for us. He didn't capture anything and he didn't even bother putting his logo on our pictures because I am certain he knows he did shoddy work. It was a good experience gone horribly wrong and I will NEVER pay for pictures professionally again. Waste of $530. It is 6 months later and I am still upset about it. Our pictures were done 5/30/17 and just writing this brings back all my anger and frustration. I wish we had demanded a refund. I have now found someone willing to photo shop the photos and correct my daughters baby acne and remove my hair tie but there is no way to fix her cross eye or the crappy photos he took that day and I am not sure I will ever be able to look at any of the photos without getting upset.

What a wonderful experience we had at Ambient Photography. I first met Alex to do some…read moreprofessional photos and then noticed the incredible family portraits he had on display. I brought my wife a few weeks later to meet Alex and look at his work, and we decided right on the spot to book a session with our kids. We were nervous about how the kids would do during the photo shoot. They are not even 4 and 2 years old yet, and attention spans are limited and so is patience usually! But Alex's calm demeanor and intuitive sense on how to keep kids engaged resulted in incredible photographs and more importantly, great memories. Would recommend to everyone!

The end product was a gorgeous matted set with four of the photos. I thought the price was about $80 but looking at the website, it appears to be $39! Not sure if that changed at some point but this is a wonderful deal.... IF you just want that product. Additional prints were quite pricey so they were only able to buy a few. The quality was great, though, and the sessions were a blast. If you are looking for a great shower gift, something like this is a very nice idea different than the usual 'diaper genie'!

Stunning bridal suite. Plenty of space. That is why we originally selected it as our wedding venue. What we didn't know at the time is that we were hiring some of the best wedding professionals in the business - the dynamic duo of Steve & Jenn. I am not exaggerating when I say I'd get married pretty much anywhere as long as they were running the show. Let me start with how incredibly responsive they were. As a wedding vendor also, this is something I greatly appreciate. I would ask a question and get a response usually within 10 minutes. Jenn & Steve made everything pretty effortless for us. Steve helped us with bar selections, table lay out and set up specialty cocktails. Jenn coordinated with all of our vendors for arrival times, set up and take down. We were able to drop off all of our decor on a Wednesday and Jenn had it all set up when we came Friday for our rehearsal. What a special treat for our bridal party and close family to be able to preview the venue with the majority of the decor set up. A review of our wedding day: we had downpours in the morning and in to the afternoon. The team at the Barn set up for an indoor ceremony just in case. Our ceremony was at 4:30pm and downpours came again at 4:15. As I (the bride) was coming down the stairs the clouds parted and I gave the nod to have the ceremony outside - probably right at 4:30pm. Jenn had the team dry off chairs outside not once, but twice after 4pm and we were able to have our ceremony outside, just as we had envisioned. I doubt you will find this level of flexibility anywhere else where you can literally make the call at the very last minute - it meant everything to us to be able to get married with the mountains in the background. The rest of the night was absolutely flawless. Steve made sure to bring us cocktails during dinner, Jenn brought us an array of apps so we could enjoy our cocktail hour while photos were being taken. I had no idea what time it was all throughout the night, but Jenn made sure things were executed on time. She clearly is a professional and seems so chill but is also so organized and direct when she needs to be. The Barn is no doubt the best place to get married in Vermont. I wish I could do it all over again - every moment was absolutely magical. Thanks Steve & Jenn for our perfect day - look forward to working with you both as a wedding vendor and getting to visit the place we got married often.

As a…read moremaximizer bride (who searched through hundreds of venues in the state) and an interior designer by trade, I can attest that you have stumbled upon THE most beautiful venue Vermont has to offer. Jen and Steve have created a space that is both chic and elegant, while retaining the signature VT charm. Every detail has been thought out, from amenity baskets for guests in the lovely restrooms, to an en suite shower for the bride to use on the day. From the beginning of our discussion with the wonderful owners, we knew we had finally found our venue. My husband and I had our makeup wedding (after two Covid postponements over the past three years) this past weekend and it was nothing short of magical. Jen and Steve were kind enough to work with us, graciously accommodating our schedule changes, as well as being incredibly flexible as the scope of our day shifted from a large 180-person shindig to an intimate 30-person DIY experience. They allowed ultimate personalization: granting me the opportunity to come on the property the day before to setup our table spread per my vision and providing a delicious signature cocktail along with our open bar. With every interaction, the owners make you feel special and excited for your day, as if they are close family friends celebrating with you. Our guests noted the quality of the bar selections, as well as the delicious catered food provided by Sugarsnap. We all agreed that the meals represented the best food anyone had ever experienced at a wedding. Kristen was a delight to work with as we coordinated our culinary selections for the big day. All and all, this is the perfect venue run by caring and thoughtful owners and their incredible staff. You cannot beat the natural beauty that surrounds this soulful space, nor the gorgeous interior. Do yourself a favor, and reach out to them ASAP to save your date!
