Just received our son's football team photos and they look amazing. The team photo looks great, all the boys are smiling and the set up/positioning of the team looks very streamlined and professional. The individual photo is the best that's been taken of my (teenage, refusing to smile) 14-year old son for a long time, finally a photo I am really happy with and excited to share. Great job!

Four years ago, my wife and I were at a wedding expo just getting an idea of what we liked as our wedding was not going to be for another 2 years. We came across Cathy at the expo and that was it, we knew wed found our wedding photographer. Cathy is kind, bubbly and an altogether amazing person. She knew how to make us feel comfortable having our photo taken and captured the memories so we can still feel the emotions from that moment through the photos to this day. She becomes an extension of your family after you have your photos with her. We can not recommend her high enough! From Jake and

My two daughters just had a amazing experience with Cathy in her studio. My girls are very dedicated ballerinas and the images she produced are nothing short of inspirational, the kids absolutely loved the photo shoot and talked about it for days after. The photos are so artistic and far from the typical indoor studio bland photos, they also just captured their very different personalities. Simply amazing

Overpriced!!! My husband and I had our wedding photos done with Diamond Photography, which we were happy with. However we went back a year later for our babys newborn shoot. We paid over $1000 for 6 photos printed and on a harddrive, and this did NOT include keeping the rest on a harddrive. (We had about 30 photos taken)
In the newborn shoot, we supplied our own props, my baby had no photos taken being wrapped, in a bed or any scenery. Our photos were just of our baby in our arms. Thats it.
Diamond Photography is only good for wedding photos / family photos. You can find cheaper and more experienced
