Salma was great! She showed up early, was very easy to work with, and provided great instruction during the photo session. Her photos turned out great and she turned them around so quickly! I highly recommend partnering with Salma for your photography needs!-JaclynnView Photographer profile
Carson was amazing! He did a session for my dog, and he was very patient with her, and got incredible pictures of her! He was very open to communication prior to the shoot, and was very personable during the shoot!-KrystelleView Photographer profile
Salma was on time, efficient, and friendly. She already had some iconic spots selected, so we didn’t have to do anything but show up!-PenniView Photographer profile
Alinda was incredible. She helped me plan and execute a surprise proposal and then ran a professional photo shoot for us with her own lighting and assistant (shout out to Pinky!).

She gave us directions to make sure the poses looked good and she acted as a great hype woman to ensure we were smiling big throughout. 10/10 would recommend!-JoshView Photographer profile
Alinda was PERFECT!!! Her response time was so fast and adaptable. The pictures could not have turned out better, she was a fantastic director during our shoot and I would 1000% recommend her for anyone needing a professional photographer!-NoahView Photographer profile
Brad was lovely and really knowledgeable about the location we went to for our shoot. We eloped, just us and our little boy, and he captured the moment beautifully. We’ve got these photos to look back on for a lifetime that we love, and we have Brad to thank for that.-Cecilia, Stu & MurphyView Photographer profile
We've used the same photographer for years but our annual pictures were rained out and we just couldn't find a mutually agreeable date to reschedule. A friend recommended Local Lens and we're SO happy we gave it a shot.

Alinda was outstanding! Professional, friendly, able to work with our two high energy kids and all while maintaining a sense of humor! She gave simple instructions and could see when "parental frustration" was creeping in...

We were so curious to see the finished product and Alinda delivered! She captured some truly beautiful family images and also individual shots of our kids that we are so deeply grateful to have. We'd love to work with her again and would certainly recommend her work to others.-Allison & RyanView Photographer profile
Alinda was wonderful to work with - she was right on time for our session and the images we received we so great! She managed to wrangle our group of 9 ladies through the park for some fun girls trip pictures! I'm thankful for LocalLens putting us in touch! 5 Stars!!-MonicaView Photographer profile
Alinda was amazing! She suggested a gorgeous park which ended up being exactly what I was aiming for. She was on time, cordial, and very pleasant to work with. Her professionalism showed in all aspects, I would recommend her to anyone looking to get awesome photos taken! Thank you so much once again, we are very grateful for you capturing such a special moment for us!-JasonView Photographer profile
Alinda was fantastic! She was very flexible and quick to respond to questions. We had a last-minute change and ended up in a perfect location. She was wonderful with the kids and adults. I highly recommend her! Most importantly, the photos are fantastic!-CathieView Photographer profile
