Vanessa provided a well rounded experience that I would recommend anyone I know to her. I also plan to use her for other life events. It’s one thing to have someone take your pictures, it’s another thing for that person to be kind, hard working, diligent, patient and focused. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable & we love things about every single photo we have. We are forever grateful! Thank you Vanessa.

Vanessa did an amazing job with our outside family shoot. We got individual, pairs and the whole family photos. This was not an easy task since we are a family of 5 and each has their own likes and dislikes. She was able to get the smiles out of each of us, and get our natural.interaction captured. I will recommend Vanessa to anybody. She has great people skills, are reliable, produce quality work and have good prices.

Vanessa has been our family photographer for 4 years. She has a great eye for family candid shots. She is especially wonderful with young children and knows how to get them to smile and have a good time. She is patient and kind. She works quickly and comes prepared to handle our BIG family. She puts heart in to all the edits and you can tell as the sessions go on that she got THE shot 😉 We hope Vanessa will be our family photographer for many to come.
