My fiancée and I had such a great experience working with MJ. When booking with her, she got back to me right away. She had excellent suggestions on where best to have our engagement photoshoot. She communicated with me frequently and responded quickly as we prepared for the shoot and provided an excellent style guide to ensure the best photos. On the day of, she arrived early and took many excellent photos of my fiancée and I. We felt comfortable during the whole shoot and had fun working with MJ. We give her our highest recommendation!

MJ is just a phenomenal professional to work with. I reached out to MJ to capture my proposal to my girlfriend at Windansea Beach. MJ went above and beyond with her preparations and even got on numerous phone calls with me to help me with the planning to ensure I had the perfect location on the beach for the perfect shot. MJ got to the location early to scout out the area and caught our magical moments for us. MJ is the ultimate professional and is extremely kind and easy to work with. The quality of the pictures speak for themselves, but MJ’s sincerity and care are what make her a joy to work with. I would 1000% recommend MJ for your photoshoot.
