''Iris did an amazing job with heirloom photos of our three boys!

MY PAST CLIENTS SAY...

The photos are absolutely beautiful! They are very active, wiggly boys and she captured them so well you wouldn't  even guess. We are so happy and highly recommend Iris!

-The schmidt family

-Catlyn & neil

Iris was exceptional to work with, she was responsive and informative. I told her what I was looking for and sent her a couple of photos that I liked, and she couldn't have done a better job. She captured my family perfectly in our maternity shoot, aside from having two-2-year olds that were interested in anything other than taking pictures. I highly recommend Iris as she has a keen eye for beautiful moments.

Hiring Iris was 100% the best decision we made for our maternity shoot.

-THE WINDELLS

She took her time ensuring that the lighting was great for each area and was specially great keeping our 4-year-old interested in taking pictures so we could get all the shots we wanted. She was super responsive and was able to  get our photos back so quickly! We highly recommend her!

Iris is phenomenal! She took newborn photos for our family and was amazing to work with her.
