“I am honored to nominate Diana Smyth of Diana Smyth Photography for recognition due to her exceptional dedication to client experience and her commitment to capturing memories. Diana understands her work is not just about creating photos. It’s about capturing family story. I had an experience with diana beyond what I’ve had with other photographers.

“Elanna has done our photos since our baby was born. She has now officially taken 5 sets of photos for us. She is patient and so gentle with the kids! Her studio is so welcoming and she has a WHOLE closet sod clothes for mom and baby. Her backdrops are all handmade and perfect. I cannot think of anyone better than Elanna for this award!”

“I have endless good things to say about Origin Photo and Regina! She has been photographing my kids for 13 years, starting when my older daughter was a newborn, and she has been there to capture every season of our family since. Having her document their lives as they’ve grown has been such a gift. Beyond our annual family sessions, she’s also done multiple extended family sessions for us, and those were truly special. The photographs were beautiful, full of warmth, and so thoughtfully captured.

Regina has an incredible ability to make everyone feel comfortable and seen, and that shows in every image. Kids love her! Regina’s work is consistently stunning, timeless, and full of genuine emotion. Just as important- or maybe more important than her work is that she is a wonderful person! She is kind, patient, and easy to trust with the moments that matter most. Origin Photo is one of our favorite annual traditions. If you’re looking for someone who will not only take beautiful photos but will also become a meaningful part of your family’s story, she is it.”

“Tricia captures family and dance photography with joy and authenticity. You can see how much she values not only a beautiful, balanced image but the essence of childhood – love, joy, hope, friendship. When she captures small candid moments between dancers in our rehearsals or behind the scenes, I look at the photo and I say “this is what it is all about. This is the community and memories I strive to create for these kids.” I see it reflected in her photos..”

“It was such a joy to work with Veronika! We had our newborn photoshoot with her and could not have asked for a better experience! As first time parents, it was nerve wracking to bring your newborn outside but Veronika made the whole experience seamless and welcoming. The studio was well equipped and warm. I had my mom and aunties with me for the photoshoot and everyone had nothing but great things to say. Veronika is truly a baby whisper, he made my mom so calm throughout the session. We are so lucky to have Veronika to capture such a precious moments for us.”

“DiVegs Capture always goes above and beyond when it comes to photography life’s special moments. From the booking process, to the communication leading up to the day, to the session and photo edits thereafter, Lauren does an amazing job focusing on every single detail. Not only is the process seamless, Lauren has a deep and true understanding of special moments with your families. She treats everyone as her own and has the patience, humor and wit to make sure each session goes smoothly and is full of laughter and fun!”

“Jessica has worked with us twice . She worked with us on newborn photoshoots for both of our children. Jessica has to be one of the highest quality photographers in her field. She is super detail oriented and strives for absolute perfection. What I think sets her apart from photographers in her field is that she takes a lot of time to provide quality photographs . She spent all day with us in our home as opposed to travelling to a studio, which as a new mom being afraid to leave the house was super comforting to me. She went with the flow of our babies’ schedules and made sure to provide the least stressful environment.

Jessica describes her photographs not as “prints” but rather artwork. That is exactly what they are. I am blown away at the results every time. I would trust her any day to guarantee top quality photography. One other quality about Jessica is that she has a super great personality and has been really fun to work with both times. She provides the perfect balance of professionalism while also being able to remain fun and herself. Something in the back of every mothers head is that time is always fleeting. Your babies grow up in the blink of an eye. I am so glad that Jessica has provided us with everlasting mementos of both of our little ones first days on this earth. That means the world to me..”

“Lisa is a magician. Only thing that she does magic with camera instead of a wand. We worked with her for our maternity and newborn shoot and could not be more happy. Lets face it, family photoshoots are stressful, chaotic and intense especially with small kids. When thrown into the choas with younger kids especially toddlers, you dont know what the outcome of the pics would be. Lisa makes those pictures look like a dream. We werent sure how the pictures would turn out but when we saw those pictures, we were completely blown away. She brought such joy capturing our little family. As I said- a magician!”
