Laura is the total package--her…read morecharisma, keen eye, and people-skills made our entire wedding party and guests feel simultaneously at ease and energized. Her tips and tricks for us were so helpful ("don't lock your knees at the altar, or you might pass out!), and her one-on-one care for use was incredible (she brought a beautiful "unplugged wedding" sign just for us). She spent hours with us brainstorming what types of pictures we wanted and asked us key questions about our photography needs that we never would have imagined would be so critical. She was sensitive, detail-oriented, and wonderfully humorous. Even in the midst of a pretty powerful summer thunderstorm, she was out with us taking pictures that we would have never captured if not for her tenacity in the field. Truly, we could not have asked for a higher quality professional--our photos are PERFECT and everything we've dreamt of. We also consider Laura a friend--she is down-to-earth and approachable, and we truly clicked together from the beginning. Her incredible skills, wonderful professionalism, and awesome personality made her our dream-wedding photographer. Thank you, Laura, for simply being the best!

Most had prices that rivaled a house down payment. Being a member of Yelp Elite, I was immediately impressed by Emily's Five Star Yelp reviews. Every single one was (is) rated five stars. That speaks volumes because we Yelpers don't hand out five stars like Tic-Tacs. I reached out to Emily and we had an initial call to discuss my event, vision, location and most importantly, my expectations. Emily asked me questions I hadn't considered as a consumer. She brought ideas and explained her process. I immediately felt comfortable and knew she'd deliver with Excellence, Enthusiasm Effortlessly, all while surpassing our Expectations. When we received our photos, my husband said "those are the best photos I've ever seen". Thank you Emily!

I HATE having my photo taken, but she actually made the process fun and worked with me to produce really flattering headshots. I've gotten multiple compliments from friends and colleagues on my new headshots, and I would recommend her to any professional without hesitation. For our family photos, I was blown away by how patient she was with my 3 year old son, who was not in the mood to have photos taken the day of our shoot. She cheered him up in impressively short order, and ultimately she took gorgeous photos that captured our family's personality perfectly. And when I thought it couldn't get any better, she turned around the proofs and edits for both sessions very quickly! She was professional and communicative throughout, and I can't overstate just how much I've enjoyed working with her.
