Kind Words From Our Clients

Brittany did an amazing job capturing my family photos. She was very patient as we had an 8 month old at the time. She was able to keep my daughter engaged and entertained (which is difficult) in order to get the best pictures. She was very responsive and her turn around time was quick. The pictures came out perfect. We look forward to working with Brittany again.

Wow! Swell Studios is amazing. Me and my Fiancé were so happy with the pictures we received for our engagement. I literally cried when I saw them for the first time! We felt super at ease and comfortable while taking the photos and I think that has a lot to do with our photographer creating such a great atmosphere. I would recommend using Swell Studios for any of your photoshoots! You will not regret it.

Such an amazing experience getting our family pictures done with Brittany! She greeted us at the location and was there before we were. We loved that she had poses and an idea of where she wanted to shoot at the location in mind. With 3 kids, that's important because they only stay attentive for short periods of time. She caught plenty of candid pictures of the girls and us as a family. She included a few flares to the pictures which were a nice surprise and super cute! I highly recommend Swell Studios. The pictures came out beautiful with lots of warm yummy lighting. Perfect addition to our home.

Swell Studios was doing their annual mini photos sessions with a the addition of Christmas cards if you wanted to add them to the package. I had been wanting to do this for some time. I reached out and within an hour Brittany had gotten back to me. She was very attentive and responsive to all my questions. The day of the photos arrived. She was prompt and responsive. I have a 5 year old and a 20 month old who don't like to stand and pose. Brittany was amazing! She was open to trying something untraditional - she followed the boys around with her camera while they played on a playground! It was amazing! The pictures she got are ones I will treasure. And my Christmas cards look AMAZING!! Hire them. They are worth every penny.

Brittany was amazing! She took our photos at a very busy park and our photos came out looking like we were the only ones there! And she somehow still captured smiles from our sweet boy who was more interested In everything else going on at the park! Highly recommend Brittany! She made us all feel comfortable and captured us beautifully!
