I had an amazing experience! As a plus sized woman I was very hesitant and nervous at first. But after arriving I was treated with care and patience. The energy was amazing and the studio is super cute! Good vibes, great experience, and I even got a chai latte. I felt catered to and cared for. If you are thinking of…

I had a wonderful experience with Stacey! She was very accommodating and made me feel comfortable and confident. She kept in mind everything I wanted to highlight and everything I felt self-conscious about when posing and editing. Her prices are very reasonable. I love how my photos turned out and my husband and I will treasure them forever!

Kira made me feel so comfortable and relaxed! she went with exactly what I had in mind while also "leveling it up" with her own touches and style and experience. It was obvious working with her that she is truly a professional at this. It was so fun working with her! I highly recommend!
