“We’ve used Aaren Lee Photography multiple times for our yearly photo shoots. Aaren does an amazing job at helping our shy kids come out of their shells and capturing beautiful moments of our family. We’ve trusted Aaren with capturing our pregnancy announcement and yearly pictures. Aaren is kind, professional, and has the highest quality of photos.”

“AMC Photography is by far the BEST. The professionalism, the beauty, the patience is all captured at the highest level of quality. I will absolutely be using them for small to big events for family, friends, and work. Most recently, they snapped special Fall moments with my family and those made their way to our holiday cards and the main photos in our living room. The work is just superb. So grateful.”

“Jessica provides a fantastic experience from first contact through delivery of the gorgeous photos. She has extreme attention to detail and always goes the extra mile. She takes the time needed to get the best photos, willing to stay however long it takes rather than cutting off at a specific time limit. She is incredibly responsive to messages, and gives white glove service throughout the process.”

“Melissa does an amazing job. She is so professional and patient. We used her for our newborn session back in 2022 and our family photos for our son’s 1st bday in 2023. We also plan to use her for our newborn session in March of 2024. She takes a lot to time edit our photos to make sure they’re perfect for print. For our son’s newborn session she gifted him a rattle and blanket, such a sweet gesture. She also offers her own wardrobe for new moms who don’t feel comfortable in their own clothes. Hands down, the best photographer we’ve ever used.”

“She is the best Philadelphia photographer because she is so easy to work with and her photographs are absolutely beautiful. She makes everyone feel at ease, which isn’t easy when you’re not always having your photograph taken. We’ve been doing yearly milestone photos with her for the past 10 years. She is the absolute best!”

“Regina has photographed our family for over 10 years, starting with our son’s 1-year photos where she set the mood and conducted a fun session in the comfort of our own home. She even includes the family dog! Her carefree nature while taking photos puts everyone at ease and she’s brilliant at finding just the right lighting and background to make coherent photos and a “look” throughout the album. Her photos of our family have become cherished possessions throughout our home. She captures everyone’s personality, especially our zany son! Highly recommended.”

– Tim and Eileen Ernst

“Sam Reed is the BEST photographer I’ve ever worked with. She made me feel so comfortable during our shoot. I am not the most photogenic person in the world but having Sam’s guidance and help during the shoot was great. When she sent our teasers I was blown away; when she sent the gallery, I was absolutely speechless. She caught special moments for my family and that I will cherish forever. Can’t wait to book our next session with Sam!”
