    Florence was truly amazing and I love that she was meticulous to detail and took the time and patience to get the photo right. I really trusted her eye and she was just marvelous to work with. The photos I've seen so far are jaw-dropping beautiful! I used her for my maternity and baby shower photos and I'd love to use her for my baby photos this summer.

    I used Florence to take pictures of my engagement. We are from Dallas and I decided to propose in one of our favorite New York restaurants and wanted shots of the look on my fiancé's face when I popped the question. I had not met Florence prior to the big day but found her online. She was very fairly priced, easy to work with over the phone and email and always got back to me in a timely fashion. I can’t say enough great things about her and the quality of her work. Both the posed and candid shots of the evening turned out amazing. My fiancé, our family and our friends are still raving about how wonderful the pictures turned out. I HIGHLY recommend Florence. Thank you so much Florence!

    Florence was outstanding. My son wanted a photographer to capture his surprise proposal in NY He called me In Det. and asked if I could help him find one so I found the best!! Florence is warm and kind and truely loves what she does. The camera shot the entire evening through her eyes and captured this event beautifully.

    We booked Florence for our wedding photos in New York. Coming from the UK we weren't able to meet Florence before the day, but communication via email was quick and easy, which put us at ease before the day.

    On the day Florence was really friendly and approachable. She gave us good direction for photos without being domineering and she took into account the type of photos we wanted.

    We are very happy with the photos taken, some were posed shots and others were more natural which is just what we wanted. We had brilliant weather and Florence has captured the colours of spring and the sunshine perfectly.

    All in all we are very happy with the service Florence provided and would definitely recommend her!

    We just got married!. Florence took our photos on our special day. We loved her!! She was so friendly, professionally, patiently and overall just great. We had decided to get married in just a few days and she was not only available but also affordable. She has some great ideas and we would recommend her to everybody!

    Florence nos ha realizado el reportaje gráfico de nuestra boda en New York y la experiencia ha sido muy positiva. Contrátamos sus servicios desde España y antes de hacerlo, cruzamos varios correos electrónicos, en los cuales resolvió cualquier duda que nos pudiera surgir. Buscábamos un reportaje en exteriores que no nos ocupase más de tres horas y en todo momento se ajustó a nuestro horario y necesidades, queríamos fotos paseando por sitios típicos de la ciudad y ella misma nos ayudó a elegirlos, proponiendo alguno que no conocíamos y consultando cualquier cambio que viera oportuno. En el tiempo que pasamos juntos, consiguió contagiarnos de su entusiasmo y energía, haciendo que todo fuera muy divertido, también notamos como cuidaba con esmero cada una de sus fotos, aprovechando los diferentes momentos de luz y proponiendo varias escenas según la situación, además nos ayudó, aconsejándonos diferentes poses (no estamos acostumbrados a ir paseando con un fotógrafo al lado). Sin duda, recomendaría a Florence a cualquier persona que necesitase de un fotógrafo profesional y con experiencia en New York, tanto el trato recibido por su parte como el resultado han sido inmejorables.

    Florence is amazing. She's very experienced and has a lot of great suggestions; however, she'll completely respect it if someone wants to decide how to pose in a photo, or what setting they would like to use, etc. I highly recommend Florence for anyone's photography needs; we'll definitely be calling her again in the future!!

    After living a year in NYC, my sister came to visit me and we just wanted to have a photo-shoot together to keep this remember forever. I chose Florence for the kind of warm and artistic pictures she takes, and I felt so lucky during and after the shooting. During the shooting she was very helpful with us because we had no idea about posing, and also after being concerned about how did we feel with the results, which were completely awesome: unposed, elegant and catching a lot of feelings which for me was the most important fact. Thank you so much Florence!

    After an exhaustive search for a photographer for images I was hoping to use in my professional life, I discovered Floressence Studio on Thumbtack. After reviewing the website I was sold, her images seemed to capture the true essence of her subjects. Following an initial inquiry, she provided package options at a range of prices. We were able to quickly set up a time for the shoot. She was accommodating, professional and also provided rich suggestions based on what I was looking for as a final image. During the shoot she was courteous, concious of our time and my comfort, utilized the resources around her, and identified creative opportunities for each frame. Florence is an intuitive photographer with a great deal of control in the execution of her work. I felt she was flexible, adapted immediately to the site and situation and ultimately produced exactly what I was hoping for as a final product. I can not recommend her more highly. She was so easy and incredibly pleasant to work with and to echo what another reviewer said, her enthusiasm was contagious. Above all, she was able to capture some incredible images of me and deliver a product on the schedule we had discussed and at a quality that went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Floressence Studio.

    Floressence Studio took photos of my comedy trio and the experience was the best. Florence Montmare not only took amazing photos of us but we had a blast the whole time. Her energy, her ideas, her enthusiasm for us and out project was infectious and made the whole shoot a success.

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Mostly it is portraits of executives, creatives actors and performers and corporate and private events. Weddings are common in the spring and summer.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. My advice would be to make sure that the style and energy of the work matches your own artistic vision of the project that you wish to pursue.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Just because you have a camera does not make you a photographer, so make sure that the professional that you are hiring is one with real training.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. What kind of packages are available? What is the production process and cycle?
What is being delivered and when?
Are there any deposits that need to be paid before staring the process?
How will the professional create a solution to fit my specific case?

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. Yes, when I photographed a wedding recently I had to create a huge group shot, which had initially not been discussed. I hijacked a passerby in the park and asked if I could sit on his shoulders. It gave me the perfect group shot, and I didn't need to ask my wedding party to say cheese.

Q. What are you currently working on improving?

A. My aim is to edit a session, sitting and offer a preview within 24 hours of the shoot. For my last client I did it within 1 hour!
