Mike & Corine are amazing! I took maternity photos with my husband, and neither of us enjoy posing for photographs much, but they made us feel so comfortable & relaxed. We had a lot of fun during the shoot because of Mike & Corine, and the photos turned out great! I didn't expect to like photographs of myself pregnant so much. They were just so beautifully done. We are so grateful to them for the wonderful photographs we have to remember this special time of life.

I had the best experience with this company! My daughter did her newborn photoshoot with them and they made us feel so welcoming and comfortable. My husband and I had a specific vision for her shoot and they were so involved in coordinating outfits and backdrop ideas. They gave her mini breaks, and soothed her if she was fussy. They were so attentive and patient with our daughter. Our friends and family loved her photos and I definitely recommend them to anyone!

Definitely worth the price. We used Lin and Jirsa for our wedding and so we were so pleased with outcome we wanted to be able to use them for for our family pictures. They were extremely accommodating when our son had pink eye the day before the photo shoot and we were able to reschedule. Even more the photographer, Nick, was knowledge, professional, and talented. Our family pictures came out wonderfully and we could not be happier with the product.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Line and Roots Photography for my family session this year! From the initial correspondences with Corinne coordinating the set up and details of the shoot to the very end, when I got my images, the entire experience was easy, smooth, quick and enjoyable! On the day of the shoot, my photographer, Brandon was on time, professional, easygoing and fun! He made my entire family feel comfortable, even my 4 year old daughter! We had a great time with him. He also really cared about what he was shooting and making his clients happy as he

I love the team at Line and Roots! My maternity photos were amazing and my newborn photos were beyond any expectations! Seriously, looking at the photos that they helped create/capture makes me want to be pregnant and have a ton more kids. But I think I'll settle for looking at the photos and daydreaming instead. No joke people, if you are into having amazing photos taken, leave it up to this amazingly talented team. Corine, Liz, April and Michael will make you look like goddesses and your babies, well, little angels. I would give them 10 stars if it was an option! Highly recommend!!!
