Megan Rei Photography

Bristow, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I'm a wedding and dog photographer based in the Northern Virginia/DC area with a focus on capturing fun, candid, colorful photos of the people and pups you love! I'm always willing to travel, especially back to my home state of New York.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Megan at our small wedding was great. It was the two of us, our dog, and two guests at a venue with lots of beautiful spaces. She took the time to explore the venue before our wedding to find the best photo spots, and she had so many creative shots and poses for us. We don't like to take a lot of pictures normally, and she helped us all (dog included!) feel comfortable in front of the camera. She shared a sneak peek of the photos within a couple days and all the photos in less than a month. The photos themselves are beautiful and we have so many favorites! I highly recommend working with Megan. She is very professional and friendly, and helped keep the wedding planning and wedding day stress free.

Zaida is AMAZING! Not just her work but her personality as well! She is so nice and laid back to work with but also very professional. She took our engagement photos and just shot our wedding couple months ago! She made the whole experience stress free. Even my husband who hates having his pictures taken told me how much he enjoyed working with her. She brings out the best in her couples and captures that joy for you to look back on and remember forever! We will definitely be booking her for more shoots in the future!!

Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. .

The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

I'm a witty human person living with sarcasm, 2 teenagers, a husband, the most adorable pup, and deafening awesomeness. I moved to the States at 9 years old and served in the Marines for 7 years in adulthood. I am too tall for most kid activities and too damn short for most adult activities. I LOVE capturing the raw, unplanned, and candid emotions pouring out of humans. Been doing this sh*t since I was 10 years old! I don't find joy in "cookie-cutter" poses and pictures... I want to capture you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

Wow! Vickie is such a rock star! I am so happy that we were able to include Vickie V in our wedding. So firstly, Vickie's work is STUNNING. Just look at her portfolio. It's amazing! Vickie has such talent and creativity telling our story through her shots and really painting the emotions of the day. She really knows her subjects and brings forward the very best features. I had no idea I could look so good in photos! Vickie is such a pro and was able to advise us how to use our budget wisely, where to spend and where to save. I knew we were in good hands and she helped us feel so confident. Our wedding day was where Vickie really distinguished herself. Vickie was such an advocate for us! Weddings can be such a medley of people and activities. She was deftly able to navigate us through balky grandparents, daydreaming flowergirls, and everyone in between. All while keeping with the flow of the schedule. Vickie has such a way with people and helped make it a real party! There was some serious crowd management being done, but no one noticed through their own laughter. Of all our vendors, we trusted Vickie V for our most lasting and cherished contribution. This girl delivers! Once you meet her, you will know instantly that both her art and herself are just spectacular!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600

Hello!!! I’m so excited to connect. I’m a family and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia! I love real moments, and focus and all the candid fun, no stress. This day, these moments will live forever and ever, and it’s my job and privilege as your storyteller to snap them all!

Beginning the wedding planning process is daunting in itself, but the anxiety of finding the person that shares your vision for your photos (basically your concrete memories) can be so challenging. Not only do you want someone that can capture the candid beautiful moments of your big day, but also someone that makes you feel comfortable enough to celebrate and enjoy it. We never wanted staged or posed seeming photos for our wedding, just captured moments of real life and the joy of real people celebrating with us. Becky delivered. She was kind, patient, guiding, supportive, and (my favorite part) celebrated in our joy that day. She was so easy to work with, it honestly felt like a friend taking care of us. We would recommend Becky to anyone—she has a versatile portfolio and is always looking to better herself and connect with others. If you want your wedding day captured in photos that genuinely show you—Becky is the one!

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

I am a full service wedding photographer. My approach to wedding photography focuses on the emotion of the event. That is what fascinates and moves me, that is what draws me to photography. I always do an engagement shoot with my couples, I think it is important to get to know each other before the wedding day, and it helps me to understand you as a couple. I like to get together at least once to just talk as well, the better you know me, the easier it will be for you to relax and focus on your wedding when I am looking at you the whole time.

The way he sees light through his camera and captures a once in a lifetime special moment lives forever in the images produced. We are forever greatful in the moment we shared that now has become a lifetime and generation of memories. From the bride: the pictures captured told the story of what took place on preparation before I walked down the aisle. We are a happy couple who are so blessed to do business with Paul. Paul is blessed with a special gift and makes you feel very comfortable. He builds a relationship with his clients. Paul gave us a scenario. We did our thing and he did his. During COVID he is understanding and flexible. We wish him nothing but the best!

Hustle, hustle, hustle is my mantra. I've had people tell me I'm a talented photographer (which is very lovely), but I don't believe in it. Photography is a blend of technique and creativity, and both require a ton of work and practice. I've been very fortunate to study and learn from some incredible photographers. I put that knowledge and effort into every wedding I shoot. My clients mean a lot to me, and I love capturing their magic.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Justin more than 5 stars, I honestly would. It took me a long time of going through photographers' portfolios (I looked at 20, at least) before I stumbled across his work, but man oh man am I glad that I did. For me, photography was one of the most important elements of my wedding, and Justin's mastery of natural light and shadow is frankly unparalleled. A lot of photographers can frame a shot, but in the increasing trend of "matte" shots, Justin gives his photos LIFE -- something that's incredibly difficult to do. We used Justin for our engagement shoot a month before our wedding, and hired him for the full day of our wedding; he was by far one of the best vendors we worked with. A consummate professional, he readily responds to email (including numerous questions about what location works best for an engagement shoot "in a field" and whether or not we should bring in a second shooter to capture my husband's reaction at me walking down the aisle), puts his clients at ease (literally every person at our wedding commented how much they loved him), and is just an all-around brilliant artist. On our wedding day, Justin was cool, calm, and collected - even when a park ranger was shooing us away from the site we were taking photos at. His editing of all of the photos he took that day was simply fantastic, and while I wish we had a little bit better luck with the sunset on the final shoot with my husband, he managed to get some great shots! Plus, he's an amazing dancer and will absolutely get your guests to take some awesome dancing shots :) Hire Justin, trust me. You won't regret it! We will be using him for all of the milestones we can!

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were blown away by the work that Pnce Like a Spark did. I was nervous having not met the videographer or photographer before the wedding, but I had nothing to be nervous about! Daniel and Jeremy were incredible, kind, funny, and helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. Their personalities were amazing and we just got our photos and they came out beautifully. Thank you for all the work and ease with everything!

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina was absolutely amazing and one of the best parts of our wedding day. She was recommended to us by our friends who worked with her for their wedding. From start to finish, every part of working with her was wonderful - from the initial photo call, to scheduling our engagement shoot, to planning the day-of, and then the wedding day itself. Our pictures are absolutely stunning, and we continue to get compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the pictures are. We cannot recommend her enough!

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously.

A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

Working with Jessi was a pleasure from beginning to end! From the very first meeting to the delivery of our photos she was fast to respond, answered all of our questions (usually before we even had to ask) saw our vision and brought it to life. The wedding day pictures went seamlessly, and Jessi was so creative working with the limited options at our venue - even getting us on the roof and in the middle of the city street in the dead of winter for our absolute perfect photos. Her pictures speak for themselves and her personality makes her such a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough!

We call Pennsylvania home but travel all over to photograph couples in love. When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Sarah Brookhart. From the day I started following her a few years ago, I knew I wanted to work with her, and the first time we talked, I knew I was right all those years ago! Sarah is the definition of expert. From the way she makes you feel like you can tackle the wedding planning process to feeling comfortable in front of the camera, she was crucial every step of the way. But now, the real reason she's incredible is her work. Her photography has a way of capturing moments I've never seen another photographer capture. She captures the real, raw love. Not staged moments. Almost every photo she delivered to us, from our engagement to our wedding, made me cry. And on the day of the wedding, she was an absolute dream to work with. She kept everyone organized and moving along and made sure I got the exact photos I wanted. She even spotted a rainbow outside and ran in to grab us for a quick photo. She is always thinking about her couples and putting them first, and it shows throughout the entire process. Her husband Ryan is also awesome, and was even our officiant! He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and was a great buddy to the guys during the wedding day. And the best part, he knows when to get out of the photo for the first kiss: rockstar officiant! My husband and I can't recommend Sarah enough, and everyone that sees our photos asks who took them and we are SO excited to say SARAH BROOKHART! Seriously brides, if you want an amazing, reliable vendor that takes the most incredible and meaningful photos EVER, Sarah is your girl!

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day!

Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

She’s not just some photographer telling you to say cheese and move it along, she’s going to be your friend by the end! We still communicate via social media and she’s just so relatable and kind. I can’t stress enough how huge her heart is and you can tell by the work she puts out. My wedding and engagement photos were stunning. She captured everything from candid to posed with absolute perfection. I got married almost 3 years ago and I still am obsessed with my wedding photos. You will not regret booking Kay.

Quality: Jay was excellent. He captured so many great moments, great candids. Anything he lined up took a beautifully natural, but edgy look. He's great at this and it shows in his work and the way he makes his subjects feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Responsiveness: he responded to all of our inquiries immediately, the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, until the day of, always communicating. Then kept us posted on the status of the photos after... which, by the way, were done within TWO WEEKS of the wedding. He even sent us some sneak peeks a few days after so we could share on social media. Professionalism: we contacted Jay to do a boudoir shoot prior to the wedding, which is always odd and a bit nerve-wracking bringing a stranger into such a personal setting, but he was professional to the extreme, great coaching, made us laugh and feel comfortable and had us looking our best. Value: he was with us for the entire day of the wedding, trying to catalog every moment as it happened. For the price, for his style and incredible skill, for the speed of return, for HOW MANY photos we got back (over 1,000!), his value can't be beat. Flexibility: he shot our private boudoir (indoors), pre-wedding (outdoors), wedding with friends and family, around-town reception on Halloween night - vast array of settings and styles with seamless transition. The dude is just that good. You're done shopping around.

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

I am a Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, and Richmond Wedding and portrait photographer. I love bringing joy by serving others. I found that through this gift of photography, it’s a way to express the love I have for people and it’s truly an honor to capture those moments that are once in a lifetime. To me, photography is more than taking photos, it's being a supportive friend throughout your day. It’s a privilege to have your trust and it's not something I take lightly. When delivering your gallery, there's no words to describe how I feel knowing this is a piece of history for you and your loved ones

From the first consultation phone call, Nancy was clearly organized, prepared, and invested in capturing the special moments of our wedding. She asked all the right questions to make sure nothing was left out of the shot list that was important or unique to us. She was on schedule and efficient in getting all the family photos we wanted, even requiring us to pick someone to be our "family member wrangler" to make sure everyone was there for the pictures and no time was wasted in getting back to the celebration. But even more than her capabilities in capturing stunning photos, she was so warm and lovely to work with. You could feel how much she cared about capturing our day, and made us feel so comfortable and special. I highly recommend booking Luna Photography for your wedding!

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

As a wedding planner, I love to recommend and work with Tricia. She is a calming force on a chaotic wedding day, and we love to have her on our team. Not to mention, her photos are beautiful! You won’t regret have her capture your most precious moments.

Journalistic style photography based in Western Maryland- but I go wherever you go! I started photographing weddings back in 2021 and since I am a big ole softy for love, I obviously fell in love with it. I like to stay pretty laid back during the day, candid photography is my jam. I believe pictures should tell a story. When you look back at your photos in a year or five, I want you to feel those same emotions you felt that very day. That is what is important to me. So what are you waiting for???

As a wedding coordinator I LOVED that KV Photography was responsive, calm, and communicative before, during, and after the wedding day. She took care of our clients but also made sure that the vendors and I got to see and share images from the wedding day. Everyone need a calm, supportive, and clear-spoken vendor like heron their wedding day.

Hi Everyone! I am so happy that you are here! I am a photographer in the DMV area but I am available for travel among states and worldwide! I am passionate about telling your love story, documenting the authentic and candid moments that unfold throughout the day.

We cannot say enough great things about Katie! We booked her for both engagement pictures as well as our wedding. We took our engagement photos at the beach when it was still pretty cold out. During our session she got into the water to take the perfect shot, and the pictures turned out amazing! She is down to earth, easy to work with, and very accommodating. We never felt like it was an awkward photoshoot. She made it feel like we were just hanging out, being ourselves, and having fun. We cannot stop looking at our engagement and wedding photos. Our families really enjoyed her too. We highly recommend working with her and have already recommended her to others.
