Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Denise to photograph my son’s second birthday at an indoor playground because, as a mom, I wanted to make sure I was actually in the photos too... I call it "proof of mom." And when I tell you Denise really went in, she truly did. She was climbing, jumping, and moving through the space with so much intention, capturing every meaningful moment of my son with his friends and cousins, the laughter between family members, and the joy shared by the adults. The gallery is filled with incredible candids and beautifully composed shots that let us relive the day exactly as it felt. What meant the most to me was seeing those genuine moments of connection (including the ones with me in them!) that I would have otherwise missed while hosting. Denise brings unmatched energy, professionalism, and a natural storytelling ability to her work, and I am beyond happy with the memories she preserved for our family. We will absolutely be working with her again. <3

Denise was amazing. She took so many photos that are beautiful and clean and professional from our party in the 2 hours she was there. I am thrilled. She was so much fun and really ‘got down’ to take some really and fun pictures. She responded to all of my messages and showed up right on time. Do not hesitate to hire Denise. She is terrific.
