“Whitney and Casey went well above and beyond our expectations!

They helped put us at ease in front of the camera, suggesting poses and allowing us to incorporate some of our ideas as well. It was important for me to have professionals with an artistic eye- beyond basic, typical posing- and they delivered! We ended up with so many wonderful posed and spontaneous photos. Truly an excellent value.”
