Sweet Notes from Clients

HARRISonBURG newborn photographer reviews

We had the absolute best experience with our family photos using Kelly Williams Photography. This was our third time using Kelly and we cannot express how thankful we are for the quality work she provided. She took her time before the process to help us choose the best location for our photos. Her work is absolutely amazing. We have received numerous compliments each time we have photos taken by Kelly. We will continue to return to her for our family portraits.

Kelly does such an amazing job! We had some newborn family pictures taken by her and they were breathtaking, absolutely beautiful! We loved each and every picture she took. She’s very dedicated to each client and takes her time to capture the best images, especially with newborns. She will go above and beyond to make her clients happy and comfortable during the sessions.We highly recommend her, she’s a great photographer!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with our newborn photo shoot with Kelly! She was the perfect combination of personal and professional. It was very helpful that she allowed me to breastfeed before and after the photos while we were there to keep our little one from getting fussy. There were so many props to choose from and she walked my husband and I through our family photos very thoroughly, so we didn’t feel awkward at all trying to pose for the photos. Not to mention, the photos turned out perfect! I was so pleased with the total experience!

I love how my photos capture the real emotions and relationships between members of my family. She always catches such a variety of amazing expressions of the kids and each session results in so many amazing photos! Kelly always makes us feel so comfortable (even my husband!). The boys love getting to see her year after year and she always helps to ease my picture day stress. It’s a guaranteed positive experience and beautiful pictures!

I am a firm believer in the fact that everyone has a gift. Kelly’s gift is exactly what she does! It takes lots if patience and know how to photograph babies. I loved the fact I didn’t have to tell her how to pose my baby and that ALL props and outfits were provided! Definitely not a rush job when she says several hours she means it because she is taking her time to capture the perfect pose. You get what you pay for and she is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!!!

Kelly was so wonderful to work with for our newborn shoot. My baby was not the most cooperative but Kelly was completely understanding and displayed great patience and persistence in getting the shots, especially those we specifically requested. She takes such great care of the babies in between shots, to soothe them, or whatever is needed. In addition to this, her work is fantastic!

We have had all of our maternity & newborn photos done by Kelly over the course of the past 5 years. She has been AMAZING to work with, especially when it comes to our three boys. She is so patient and understanding of the little ones and does an incredible job of redirecting, taming and, when all else fails, just rolling with it. All the while somehow managing to capture incredible photos. This alone is worth the cost.

Kelly is very easy and comfortable to work with. She does not bat an eye when the kids have meltdowns, a baby has an accident during the photoshoot or when you simply need to breastfeed. We have never felt frustrated, disappointed or embarrassed when working with Kelly – she is so easygoing and relaxed. As for our growing family, she is the only photographer we will use. I love how all of our photos from her look good together and have a similar feel to them as we expand our family.

I’ve been lucky enough to use Kelly for both of my boys as newborns and as they’ve grown. Watching her engage both of their personalities to get the perfect shot is so heart-warming! The laid-back atmosphere of both her and the studio put me at ease immediately. I loved the fact that I could observe the process, and the way Kelly was able to get their tiny bodies to just relax and mold into sweet poses was amazing to watch! Kelly was so informative and reassuring before and during the session and I can always count on the quality of the pictures. These pictures are one of my greatest treasures!

Getting newborn photos like this of our sweet little boys was priceless! Kelly made me feel very at ease. Our oldest was born preterm and a very fussy baby – I was so nervous to even bring him out of the house, but Kelly was very reassuring, and we had such a great experience. Since then, she has been our go-to family photographer!

Kelly is so AMAZING! We can’t say enough great things about her. We took our little girl to her for newborn photos when she was roughly 5 days old and she was so patient and caring, she never rushed us and provided plenty of opportunities to feed Ella and make sure we were all comfortable with the poses. We are already scheduled for to more sessions with her for spring and summer!

Kelly is amazing! She did our daughter’s newborn photos and did such an awesome job! My daughter was wide awake and a little fussy basically the entire session but Kelly managed to capture every still and calm moment perfectly, and did a great job soothing my daughter in between takes. She was so gentle and so good with her I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have newborn photos taken! Can’t wait to have her do our baby girl’s one year photos!

– jessica m.

We were late to the game in getting pictures set up due to some unforseen circumstances but Kelly came through for us. She was so considerate, made us feel welcome, comfortable, was always seeing to our needs and our daughters! Her studio is beautiful and the results are amazing. We can’t seem to stop looking at all the gorgeous pictures and showing them off to all our family and friends. Kelly makes you feel like family and we were so lucky to have her capture our little girl. Would 10/10 recommend Kelly and we will be going back for future pictures.

We cannot recommend miss Kelly enough!! She truly has a gift. We are new parents and exclusively breast feeding. Kelly gave us plenty of time and multiple breaks to feed our cluster feeding girl. Kelly even had her own tricks to soothe her in between that we have now adopted. She made the experience stress free and enjoyable despite our little newborn needing constant coddling. You’d never know that our baby girl was uncooperative as Kelly didn’t miss a beat and adapted seamlessly. We will 100% be returning customers

I was blown away with Kelly’s ability to soothe and pose my babies; and the way that her studio is set up to make babies and my family comfortable was impressive! I’m comfortable with my investment because I see the difference in quality of photos and her ability and knowledge to make us feel confident when we take them.

Kelly has photographed all three of my kids as newborns. I personally love how it captures every detail of the newborn phase…little folded hands, tiny toes, leg rolls, peach fuzz hair…it’s truly a moment frozen in time that they outgrow so quickly. The photos are so perfect even though we know the newborn phase is far from it! Rather than sweatpants and spit up, I love having pictures where I’m dressed up with my hair and makeup done and a baby in a trendy little romper with matching accessories. I love photos from “normal” days, but I treasure these special extra fancy images that I wouldn’t otherwise have.

Kelly is the BEST children’s studio photographer. Not only is the picture quality amazing, but also she is wonderful with the kids. She can get my son to genuinely smile at 1, 2 and 3 years old. Her newborns pictures are beyond adorable and she works so well with the infants (plus her children’s wardrobe is huge)! Everyone who see our newborn session is amazed and gushes. I will be returning to Kelly for years to come!

There’s not enough words to express how great Kelly is. We moved here almost three years ago and had a horrible experience with another photographer before I found Kelly and have never changed photographers since. She does our annual pictures with such great perfection. We have two boys and they are a handful. She somehow convinced them to smile at every picture and is so patient with them. I cannot express how grateful I am for her!
