NANCY ROTHSTEIN PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS

Nancy is the consummate professional. She has a lovely studio space and assistant and enjoys experimenting with light, backgrounds and dialog to get the perfect shot. (Though she doesn't have them in her studio normally, her dogs, were "visiting" when i was there which helped me to relax since I love animals.) Nancy took my first professional photo back in and the most recent in. It never occurred to me to see anyone else. Plus Nancy will "retouch" out all those fine lines, etc, upon request, so you can feel perfectly wonderful about your professional photo. She is a wonderful photographer, beyond her portrait work as well. I encourage you to check out her website for whatever you might need her services for.

Nancy is professional, personable, and talented. I went in to have my photo taken for my new job. Nancy was disarming and calmed my nerves about having my photo taken. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and I am so happy with the final result. It’s undeniable that she is a master of her craft. Not only did I end up with a great photo, but she also left a lasting positive impression.

All of my photos, both professional and personal, will be taken by Nancy forevermore. She makes the whole process easy, enjoyable, and the quality is exceptional. Just listen to her direction and in 30 minutes you will have several photos that showcase your authentic self. Best investment you can make in yourself and your images is to hire Nancy.

BEN KRANTZ STUDIO REVIEWS

I've had the pleasure of working with Ben Krantz Studios several times. He's taken headshots and couple shots of me and my husband, and he's shot several theatrical events that I've been a part of. One of the loveliest things about Ben is how much he puts you at ease. His interpersonal style is strong but so congenial and warm that he brings out the best aspects of his clients without resorting to cheesy jokes and gimmicks. I can't say enough excellent things about him, the care he takes with his work, and the great skill he brings to it.

Ben is amazing! He was very accommodating especially when I couldn't find his place and was running a bit late. Probably the most relaxed photo shoot I ever had and all thanks to the positive energy and vibe he gave! My headshots turned out great. I will definitely ask him to do them again in the future.

Ben is the best! I have always hated getting headshots because I never felt they actually looked like me. Ben totally nailed it! I LOVE my new headshots and get so many compliments on them.

BRIAN DESIMONE PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS

Brian is terrific! He does a really good job of assessing your goal, your energy/vibe, and most importantly how to bring out the best of you in that context. He is able to walk the fine line of advising you based on his experience AND letting you guide the process and final photos. Highly recommend.

This was my first time ever doing a professional photoshoot and Brian made the whole process so easy. I was a little nervous going in, but he guided me through everything and gave great feedback along the way. He really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos turned out great. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for headshots.

I can't sing Brian's praises enough. He has a real gift for getting the perfect headshot photos. If you're in the market for a headshot, Brian's experience, talent, and attention to detail distinguish him from the rest. It's not enough to say you can't go wrong with Brian...you'll go wrong if you DONT go with Brian. I absolutely love how my photos turned out. The toughest decision was choosing between them.
