Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

I was nervous and had no clue, but Nicole has a great camera and made me feel comfortable. She helped me choose two different outfits and asked me to sit/stand in three different spots in her cute backyard -- we chatted as she snapped away. I really prefer the outdoor background -- it doesn't look like you are sitting in front of a boring screen in the high school gym or empty office down the hall. She told me how to sit and brushed away stray hairs (my brother did not do that!). She is really terrific and made it affordable and fun. I have been working online (and hope to continue doing so with my next job) and it will be nice to have a professional looking photo to add to my various media platforms. Sorry to gush, but I like to thank good work and support local small businesses. Chris.

Nicole is a natural at capturing precious moments of your family life without being posed and intrusive. Kids respond easily to Nicole's friendly, casual approach. And as soon as the kids are happy, the parents relax a little. But the best part is seeing the images we got back! A TON of great shots of each of the kids, the kids together, all of us together, and just my husband and me. Nicole is able to capture natural smiles, sweet moments for each child, and bits of all of our personalities melding together! She photographs in natural light, outside, where everyone seems comfortable, and the lighting is great! Nicole offers a variety of packages to fit all of her customers' schedules and budgets. She is kind, organized, thoughtful, and efficient... and has a great eye for capturing the best pics in the moment!

Every single time I have had so much fun and loved every single photo. Experience as vendor working with Helen: she is very easy to communicate with and quick with responses which is VERY important to me. Helen is very clear on expressing the direction of the shoot which makes it easy for me as a makeup artist to understand what I should be doing makeup wise with the model. Helen has good time management and is such a sweet person to work with, I've had the chance to view her with her clients and I notice how comfortable they feel shooting with her because of the energy she brings to the shoot. Experience In front of the camera: okay so let me start by saying I can take selfies all day but when it comes to being in front of the camera I freeze up and usually feel so awkward. I had a completely different experience with Helen, she allowed me to get comfortable and guided throughout the shoot while still allowing myself to do what felt comfortable to me. Helen's style of shooting is so beautiful, I was completely in love with the photos that I got from that shoot. Helen as an artist: she is able to shoot a variety of styles which I absolutely LOOOOVE anything from bridal/maternity to spooky Halloween shoots. She brings elegance to her images and would highly recommend Helen if you're looking to hire a photographer or are looking for one to team up with.
