"Thank you so much Janelle! I downloaded the unedited and edited photos, they are all really so beautiful and I am so glad I got this keepsake to show River when he's older."
"Thank you for making me feel beautiful as a mother and loving my image in pictures."

And you just jumped right in to taking photos (no time for us to get nervous). You also gave great direction, which we found really helpful because we are a bit uncomfortable and awkward taking photos. You were calm and great with our kids! They loved prancing around and getting their photos taken by you! You were super aware of the light and put us in different spots accordingly.
"You put us at ease immediately! "
Thanks for your message! We'll be in touch within the next 48 hours.
