This is going to be a long review!
I originally use a different photographer, but was quoted over $500 for 1 hour of camera time and so many edited images.. so, I contacted Debbie about a week before I wanted to take maternity pictures because I simply kept putting it off and have not felt very beautiful this pregnancy and absolutely could not justify spending $500 on pictures that I usually am not super wowed over. After telling me her amazing prices and what the package includes, She went over dates with me and we booked it- signed the forms. Throughout the week she sent me inspiration photos and asked me questions about how I wanted the session to go! I told her exactly what bothers me in a lot of pictures I take (my ears showing, double chin, etc) and told her to not be afraid of letting me know so I can fix it. Which is very rare because most photographers just have their style and poses and that’s it. During the session she made me completely comfortable. She had me laughing and smiling. She would give me tips on how to put my leg, position my leg etc. she captured the photos a few different times to make sure she got the absolute best shot. She gave us quite a few poses to work with and even asked if we wanted to do more! It was a little cold so we called it quits! But I felt confident that she got what she needed. That night she sent me 3 sneak peaks and I swear I almost hit the floor!! I could not believe how amazing the 3 sneak peaks came out, I was actually crying. I usually hate photos of me but I was in absolute awe, and it was the first three pictures already. I told her something I did not like in the picture regarding my dress and she said she was going to work on it to improve the picture, again which is rare for a photographer because once they’re done editing they’re done with your session. I’m still in disbelief that she captured me perfectly to the way I love it.
You can tell this is more than her trying to make money, but that she really loves and cares about the art of photography. She cares so deeply about her client and their wishes that she actually brings their dreams to life. I am such a hard person to please, especially with pictures and I am just floored- actually speechless.
Debbie thank you so incredibly much. I am seriously so thankful for you and your eye for the camera and for actually listening to my wishes! You made me feel beautiful, more than what I have ever felt before!
