There were so many little moments happening throughout the day that I couldn’t possibly take in while I was in the middle of everything, and looking through the photos allowed me to experience some of those moments all over again. These aren’t just beautiful pictures they’re part of our family’s memories now.

Details: Bridal or baby shower • Fewer than 25 guests • Indoors • Album or photo book

We had our family photos taken after Christmas, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The photos are beautifully composed, natural, and full of warmth. It’s clear that great care and thought went into every image, resulting in a collection that we truly love. These photographs captured genuine moments and emotions, creating memories we will treasure for years to come. We would confidently recommend this photographer to anyone seeking exceptional quality, professionalism, and artistry.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Home • Physical proofs and prints • Album or photo book • My home, venue, etc.

When looking for a photographer out of town, I came across Joshua's portfolio. He was very responsive to my inquiries, questions and concerns. He was friendly and professional and sought our input throughout the session.

Punctuality - Josh was there way before we were supposed to be but then again, so were we! In fact, we parked right in front of him and we were met with the biggest smile!
Josh, I cannot say enough about his work quality! I think we all had the best time EVER taking pictures on the beach! The ONE day this entire trip it wasn't super sunny at sunset! You know what, it didn't matter because we had so much fun and laughed so hard during our entire hour of fun! Josh, thank you for joining in on our fun! We could not ask for a better photographer! I can only promise you that Josh is very professional but also gets right in on the fun! He has a wonderful responsiveness to his work but also to your personalities as well. Just goes with it and really gets what you are trying to due! If not, he can do a great job of making it work! Josh, you became part of our family while taking photos! We cannot wait to see how everything came out! Why I am writing this before, because Josh was so amazing and I already got to see some of the photos prior to us leaving him and they looked so good! I would recommend Josh Newkirk Photography any time any where! He works amazing with families so I can promise you if he worked with my crazy bunch, he will work well with yours! Love you Josh!
Patti, Jeff, Chris and Abbey (Hoover) We need YOU in Wisconsin!!

Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

Joshua was amazing!!! We booked a shoot to celebrate my dad’s bday, and he kindly added on a last minute photo shoot for our graduating senior! He was prompt, professional, calm, fun, and so easy to work with- and the photos are beautiful- family shots and high school grad photos.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.
