Our family had a mini session with Vanessa over the weekend. I was so nervous at first as our son didn’t seem interested but Vanessa made us all feel comfortable quickly and the photos she showed me throughout the shoot were amazing! Can’t wait to see the full gallery and her beautiful work.

Vanessa was great with our big group! Such attention to detail. Getting teenagers to smile and comply… she’s a miracle worker!!!

Vanessa was amazing. She already came with a glowing review from a neighborhood mom who had used her services for many years of children's birthdays, but I was so pleasantly surprised how well she engaged with all my guests, young and old, and in particular, the - possibly - mildly overwhelmed 2 year old birthday girl. The pictures I just received were so cute and made me smile. I'm so happy she got everybody, and also many cute candids! While she was at the party, she would also remind me of photos I had hoped to gather, like family photos in front of a backdrop, so I didn't just miss out on these while being scatterbrained. I'm definitely going to be a repeat client, for birthday number 3!
