From Our Clients
Great price
I had such a great experience with Shadowcatcher Imagery! Heather and Skip were amazing. This was my first time ever hiring professional photographers, and they made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, guiding me throughout the entire session while still making it so much fun. My graduation pictures turned out even better than I expected! They were also incredibly patient with me throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend them to my friends, family, or anyone looking for talented photographers who make you feel comfortable and have a great time while doing it!
I took my 2 year old son to get his birthday pictures done. They did such an amazing job! They are very good with kids and the pictures turned out incredible! They had different props and poses that were not difficult for my son, he had so much fun with the assistant and made him laugh the entire photo shoot. I am definitely going back soon for a family session and a couple session. The pricing was great, I recommend this place

Where do we even start... Heather, Skip and Kendra are the absolute BEST!!! Not only are they great photographers, but they are so fun, energetic and go out of their way to make sure both you are comfortable and looking your best. They never once made us feel uncomfortable and are very patient during our session. From start to finish they kept a smile on our faces and we cannot thank them enough for EVERYTHING! Definitely 5 stars and would highly recommend them to everyone looking for top notch photographers.
Thank you - You are the best!!
