This a sample of unsolicited comments from my clients. I have really nice clients who are so appreciative of my work. I only use initials for privacy.

K.H. After school fundraiser mini session: The pictures are fabulous! Wow - what you can do with only 15 minutes is amazing! When I thanked her for the compliment, she further commented (and I LOVE this one): Seriously - it should be an olympic sport--give someone 3 snotty kids (one of which is a lump in a dress), 2 obnoxious parents, and a camera and see what comes out of it...  Gold medal, baby. (LOL)

B. Oh my gosh....these are AMAZING!!  You did such a fabulous job....thank you!!!  It's going to take me a while to narrow them down to my favorites :)
 
M.K.- (After seeing the proofs from her daughter's one year session, our second session together).

Unbelievable! Your work is just wonderful, and I am so excited about these pics! I am so thrilled that you captured a moment for me that I will have for the rest of my life...Thank you! Just so you know, I think that your photography is better than what I have ever viewed in Chicago (and I am very picky)!!
 
I will definitely order in the next day or so.
 
We are thinking of doing a family photo in Sept, and I would love for you to do it!

Second note after I posted her favorite image on facebook for her: "Thanks Andrea! You did a FANTASTIC job, and we are always excited about your photos! I couldn't be happier with her 1st yr pic!"


J.J. - After a private session at her home in her backyard with her two young children.

Oh Andrea, these are AMAZING!!!! Thank you!!  My husband was absolutely blown away as we looked through the proofs at breakfast; honestly, we were just breathless.  And I must admit looking at some of the photos of "A", in particular, I had tears in my eyes, she is growing so quickly!  I can’t believe I was worried that she would be camera shy, though no doubt it had more to do with you – you clearly made her, and "L", very at ease and captured their very essence!  Thank you!

 
T.C. - Mini Session - New Client- upon seeing the proofs.... I have spent the past 20 minutes in such joy and teary eyed viewing your amazing photos.  You have capture the amazing spirit of each of my children.  They've been photographed a lot - but not nearly as well as this work you presented.  THANK YOU!

M.L. Mini Session - I am REALLY impressed. ... I am amazed that you were able to shoot such terrific pictures! Excellent job!
G.W. Mini Session - I love them! I don't know which to choose.

J.B. - Mni session client - I want to thank you for the fantastic photographs! I'm so excited. You did an amazing job - especially in a short 15 minutes - we will definitely book a session with you later in the year for our annual holiday photo.

N.T. - Mini Session Client - The photos were a HUGE hit for Father's Day...they really look lovely in the frames. My husband was so surprised!!
S.H. - Mom at my daughter's school where I shot playground candids for a school fund raiser. - I bought both of the framed images of my girls. I have to tell you that when I flipped through the book and saw the picture of my oldest, it brought tears to my eyes. The image that you captured is not just a picture of her but personifies who she is. It is a remarkable picture and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I never even took it home. I put it in my bag and straight to my office. I look at it a hundred times a day, ever day, and everyone who walks in my office comments on it. I cannot thank you enough.

P.F. - (after picking up her order) - You are right - I am very happy! The pictures are wonderful. It was a pleasure working with you - very accommodating and efficient. Good luck with the baby!
M.M. - (First time portrait session client- purchased candids from a school event in the past.) Everything looks great. I am so glad you were able to squeeze us in this year. Your work always makes me smile and will for years to come.
M.M. (New client after seeing proofs) - Thank you so much, I have so many pictures to chose from and I'm thrilled. Thanks and kudos for such a great shoot

J.B. (New client upon receiving proofs) - Thank you so much!! The photo session with you was a pleasure, and we are THRILLED with the results!

L.C. (New client) - It was so nice to meet you today. The boys had so much fun - they want to know if they can come back next year!!! You must have the magic touch because they hate to have their picture taken!!!
J.J. - (Returning client) - You have done it again! They are awesome Andrea. At the risk of sounding totally queer, I get all emotional when I see how well you capture my precious little boys. My husband loves them too. It will be hard to narrow them down. Thanks a ton!
C.Z. - (Returning client from last year).- We had the B/W photos you took framed and hung as a collage, they are fabulous! Everyone that sees them just raves about how great they are -- so timeless. We love the mixture of expression and poses. You are extremely talented!

T.P. - First I want to start by thanking you for taking the time with me to give me exactly what I was asking for. These pictures will give me so much pleasure for years to come! ...This will not be the last time we do business together. As my daughter grows you will be hearing more from me! Again, I thank you.
