“I am forever grateful to Polina. She has photographed my family every year since 2012. Each year she surprises us with the best, most unexpected shots. Me and my husband always say the same thing after each session: “There is no way she got anything good this year!” And then she does it again! I can’t recommend her work enough, you need to invest in your memories of your family. It’s all you have left when they fly from the nest.”

“Eszter’s studio is such a beautiful, inviting environment. I did a maternity photo shoot with her and she provided all gowns and props. She also has the most adorable newborn pieces displayed. It is so nice not to have to worry about what to wear. Her gowns were absolutely stunning and she made me feel like I was on America’s next top model even though I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to posing for a picture. She was very patient with my toddler son who was not cooperating, and we still ended up with the most beautiful pictures of us that I absolutely treasure. Her editing skills are amazing. You can tell she takes a lot of time and pride in her work. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Veronika is the BEST family and newborn photographer. Our family has had the privilege of working with her to capture newborn pictures of all three of our babies, as well as family pictures. She is wonderful with the kids and her signature light and airy pictures are breathtaking. She is fun, easy to communicate with, and offers extra perks like a client wardrobe! The BEST and so deserving of this wonderful award.”

“Daniella was recommended to us from a friend for our maternity shoot and she was AMAZING. Not only did she have such a great eye for shots, but also made us feel so comfortable. We loved her so much we went back to her for our newborn photos and once again she absolutely nailed it!! We are so grateful for Daniella capturing our special family moment so perfectly.”

“Jessica Catherine Photography captures phenomenal newborn portraits. Jessica is lovely to work with; she is professional and responsive to all questions you may have. I love that she comes to your home for the newborn session; I felt it made it less stressful for my husband and I. We have worked with Jessica for both of our children’s newborn sessions — most recently in November 2023. Her work is incredible, and I love having the art work (photo album and framed wall art) from the session available for any guests to see. My husband and I highly recommend Jessica Catherine Photography for your family’s newborn photo session!”

“Steph is the BEST family photographer I have ever worked with. She has done three sessions for our family, including two newborn sessions. She is this special combination of kind, attentive, patient, and fun. Working effectively with children is a serious talent and she has it. We never felt rushed or discouraged when our kids would go feral during the photo shoot. Amazingly, she captured the most beautiful photos embracing their wildness and keeping up with their energy. She didn’t bat an eyelash when my newborn spit up on her. She encouraged and provided time and space for me to nurse my babies during the photo shoots, which was meaningful to this vulnerable and tired new mama. She engaged with my boys and made them laugh. She turned what could be a stressful annual event into a fun game for all of us. I would not and have not hesitated to refer her to my friends and family. I can’t think of anyone who deserves this award more than Steph!”

“Rachel puts you and your family at ease from the second you meet her! She is absolute sunshine and everyone she photographs can feel her light emanate through not only the incredible photos she produces, but also the love and smiles she captures. She has been my family photographer for over six years and has photographed all of my children in all of their stages and has done it effortlessly while somehow creating magic from newborn and toddlers. She is always able to capture the hidden moments of pure love and joy and every time she does a photoshoot is magic. There is no one else I trust to encapsulate these indelible memories for my family and we love her so much!”

“Bonnie Raley is a local treasure who has been capturing beautiful photos and treasured memories for our family for over a decade! Somehow in spite of all of the chaos our family brings, Bonnie skillfully and almost magically captures sweet moments that now adorn our home and freeze these precious moments in time for us! She is an absolute joy to work with and we can’t imagine working with anyone else!”

“I highly recommend Rosie Paul Photography. They were extremely responsive and flexible to squeeze in a newborn session for me at the last minute. Not to mention their photos are stunning! They are so friendly and easy to work with — we will absolutely be using them for our family milestones to come.”

Danielle is one of the only photographers in the area that we’ve found that has a sensory night for Santa (and the bunny). My 11-year-old is autistic and we have visited for the last six years and even though he is familiar with the staff, sometimes he just needs that extra minute to adjust. I think it’s important to note that we have never been or felt rushed. We have always been met with a kind smile and a hushed tone (especially when it’s a little too noisy) and we have been given the gift of magic by Danielle and her staff, and all of the amazing Santas consistently. It may seem small, but to this mama who constantly has to fight for inclusion and acceptance for a boy that just wants to be loved and feel safe, it’s everything. He knows he is safe and special when he gets to see his friends from the North Pole!

“We have had a few photo sessions done by Rebecca over the years. Her aesthetic is so pleasing and her magic lies in the simplicity of her photos. You can watch her work and see that she connects with the subject immediately. In fact, you might even forget you are being photographed and you will end up with one of the best photos for your forever collection. Rebecca is so patient and kind with all of her customers.”
