- June 8, 2020"Kristy is simply the best! Our family photos came out beautifully, and she was delightful to work with. Her personality made our session so comfortable and fun, and my young daughter who hates to be photographed was even smiling shortly after we started! We've found our family photographer. Cannot recommend her enough!"- jellybelly802

- November 5, 2018"Kristy took our amazing family photos on Shelburne Farms back in July. She was wonderful to work with! Kristy was professional, helpful and receptive to our ideas. Upon meeting her it was evident that she loved working with children. She made my three year old and six month old very comfortable and happy which shows in the photos. Kristy's friendly and patient nature resulted in so many beautiful family photos that we will treasure for years to come. I highly recommend Kristy Dooley Photography and look forward to using her services in the future! "- Ryla24
- November 1, 2018"We found Kristy to shoot some family photos for us while we were visiting Vermont. She was so wonderful with our toddler! She got him to smile in nearly every picture which has been a very difficult task in the past. We love how the photos turn out and are so grateful to have these memories of our happy little toddler captured forever. We will definitely rebook if we visit the area again!"- Casey4

- October 17, 2018"I was absolutely blown away by Kristy! She is so personable and was FANTASTIC with my kids. My 3 year old really doesnt like taking photos and she had him smiling and laughing through the whole session. The photos she captured of him and my daughter are my favorites weve ever had taken! I would recommend Kristy to anyone. She is professional, answers emails very quickly and was super helpful choosing a location. Thanks for the gorgeous photos, Kristy!!"- Paigelay
- October 17, 2018"Kristy is truly the absolute best to work with. We are on our third year of her taking our family portraits. She has an AMAZING ability with kids and captures my daughters personality so wonderfully. My daughter is shy and selective about who she will open up to, and Kristy draws her right out of her shell. To have these candid beautiful shots of my daughter and our family is something we will always cherish. Kristy is professional, super communititve and responsive in helping you plan for the session and in general a super sweet person "- MalsMom14

I would highly recommend Kristy to anyone looking to have their family photos done!"- FranklinFam
- October 1, 2018"Kristy took our maternity photos so it was so wonderful to see her again for some family photos, now that our little one is almost 2. Not only is Kristy a true professional, but she is such a genuine and lovely person. Kristy did an amazing job keeping up with our active toddler and made the shoot fun for all of us. Even my husband, who doesn't love getting his picture taken, enjoyed it. Kristy captured our sweet and silly family beautifully, I will treasure these photos for years to come. Kristy is very timely when it comes to communication, presenting you with your photo gallery and the delivery of your photo package. Everything is packaged beautifully and professionally as well. As our family continues to grow, I hope to go back to Kristy for photos for years to come."- LisLeBlanc82

She had such a great energy that made the session so enjoyable for all of us! She captured the moments with our son so beautifully, and for that we are forever grateful! We highly recommend Kristy!!"- Lesage4
- September 6, 2018"Kristy took our family photos a couple weeks ago and I couldnt be more pleased with her services. Not only are the photos amazing and everything I hoped they would be but Kristy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was flexible we had to reschedule due to weather, she fit us in her busy Saturday schedule on short notice, she was so great with our children, after my input she helped us pick the perfect location and she even got both the kids to smile. Before our session ended she asked if there was anything I was hoping for that she hadnt captured and was willing to take a few extra photos for me, which turned out to be some of my favorite ones. I cant say enough great things about Kristys photography. I look forward to using her in the future for our photography needs. "- StellaLarson
- September 6, 2018"Kristy selected my daughter for her senior pictures contest. She was delightful to work with. My daughter went by herself to the photo shoot and Kristy made her feel so comfortable with her sweet personality. Her pictures came out so beautifully that it was hard to choose one for the yearbook. I would recommend her for your photography needs."- NED
- August 31, 2018"Kristy selected both of my children to partake in her senior portrait sessions and we can not say enough good things about her. She was upfront about expectations, responsive to questions, and just a pleasure to work with all around. She was able to engage both my kids a male and female teenager which can be a challenge sometimes! The photos reflected genuine happiness from both teens, and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Thank you Kristy!!"- hmptjm
- July 11, 2018"Kristy is the absolute best. We cant thank her enough for capturing these incredible images. Any locals looking for a photographer Kristy is amazing and works wonders with kids.

- July 6, 2018"Kristy has taken our family photos for three years and each time we receive the most beautiful photos!! She makes the sessions fun and easy despite the fact that we are trying to wrangle a toddler and infant. Somehow she captures our family looking relaxed, happy and smiling. She had my reserved toddler smiling and laughing with her within minutes of meeting her. We treasure the photos of our young kids and cant wait to work with Kristy again!!"- LHP
- June 16, 2018"We just had our family photo session with Kristy for our son's 1yr pics. Kristy always makes sure every detail is covered to get the best, most beautiful photos to capture our family perfectly. Working with Kristy is such a fun experience for all involved, and you barely know the camera is there. We always highly recommend her for the amazing quality of pictures, her ideas and ease of working with her. Our little boy had an absolute blast, and we can't wait until the next occasion to work with Kristy again!"- bajamc0807

- January 15, 2018"Kristy was fantastic, prompt, professional, and above all else fun to work with. We did an extended family photo shoot with her December 26, 2017. It was beyond freezing outside and she kept two little kids on track, focused, and played games with them to get them to look right in her camera. I can't say enough good things about the photos we got and our experience. It was truly a pleasure and I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!"- jatkins
- December 30, 2017"Absolutely phenomenal session with a very professional photographer! Kristy gave great recommendations and even opened her home to a session. Kristy was available on short notice and worked diligently to have our prints ready earlier than expected. Weve worked with a few photographers but all others fell short in keeping our son entertained for an hour. We would recommend Kristy to all. Thank you!"- Marshallfam
- December 26, 2017"It was a breeze to have our holiday photos taken with Kristy! It was our first time working with her and she was very easy going and flexible with working with our two boys one of whom was a pretty grumpy tween that Saturday morning!. She had us all smiling and laughing and we got some nice shots at a local Christmas tree farm. She understands light and composition, listens to her clients, and even hand delivered the package of printsusb to our home a week later! Great attention to detail and Id recommend Kristy for your next family pictures!"- RKS
- December 13, 2017"Kristy was awesome to work with from the start. She is extremely responsive from start to finish, and so great to work with. She was great with my 3 year old daughter, kept her engaged for over an hour newbornsibling photoshoot not an easy task. She kept asking when Kristy was going to come back and take more pictures and play! I love her photography style and she was able to truly capture us as a family wonderfully. I am so happy with all the pictures we received. I look forward to continue to work with Kristy to capture our family in the years to come. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great family pics."- MRuggVT
- November 27, 2017"Kristy has photographed our family for 5 years and it has become one of our favorite traditions. We have two active boys who don't always want to sit still or cooperate and every single time she captures amazing and authentic moments with our family. She is able to engage our kids with fun games and songs and not only do they enjoy the session but she captures their real smiles and personalities. She is not only super talented but very comfortable to be with and I highly recommend her!!"- elisabeth29
- November 27, 2017"Kristy was extremely responsive to our inquiry, flexible with weather issues and wonderful with efficiently being able to capture the joy in our family including our 2 month old with great smiles. She is kind and professional, able to give direction when necessary but ensured our priorities were met. We will absolutely be asking her to photograph our family year after year."- MomMD
- November 21, 2017"We just had our second session with Kristy she is amazing. She does a wonderful job engaging my very high energy kids, my son with Autism is especially hard to get pictures of but she thinks outside the box and gets genuine smiles from him every time. I can't recommend her enough she'll continue to be our family photographer. "- TwinMom18
- November 9, 2017"Over the last 2 years Kristy has taken our families' photos 3 times. Each time Im even more in awe of her talent and sweet demeanor. She really has a special gift for connecting with the families she is photographing. My kids absolutely love her and always look forward to seeing her. The first time we had our photo's taken, my daughter wanted nothing to do with the camera. Kristy never lost her cool or seemed worried...she took the time to talk to my daughter at her level and really made her feel comfortable and apart of the process. Our most recent photo shoot in October was so much fun...we really felt like we were just hanging with an old friend...and then voila...we get these amazing photos out of it. She really knows how to capture the best smiles in the best light without looking staged. Please please please reach out to Kristy and have her take your photos. It's so important to document these days and Kristy knows that. She doesn't take her talent lightly and really enjoy's what she does."- alliedvt
- October 30, 2017"This is our second year to use Kristy. She always does great work and works well with children. She's very prompt with processing, too! "- Skdaddle
- October 26, 2017"Kristy is the utmost professional and working with her to have our family photos taken was a breeze in every aspect. If you've looked at her work then you know she is definitely a talented photographer, but what you cant see is her knack for getting the best smiles and giggles from the little ones. Kristy was also so responsive to emails and got our images turned around to us in a very timely fashion. We would work with her again in a heartbeat. "- brzyvt
- October 2, 2017"Kristy was amazing with both of our kids and handling their individual personalities. She connected quickly with my 4 year old daughter and made her laugh even when we were struggling to get her to smile. She is clearly good with kids and a mom herself and this made all the difference in our case. When my son refused to leave my arms, she worked around that and we still got a lot of beautiful shots that capture who we are as a family. I don't know how she did it but she perfectly caught on film the strong daughterfather relationship and motherson relationship in our family. I HIGHLY recommend Kristy. She is worth her weight in gold!"- Heather7p
- October 2, 2017"Kristy was FABULOUS!! Gorgeous pictures and was able to get my 17 year old son to laugh and smile, which is no small achievement!! Highly recommend!!"- CindyAdair
- September 28, 2017"Kristy is such a great and fun photographer to work with. We just finished a second photo shoot with her after a successful one last year! She keeps everything fun, low key and reminds the parents not to stress since she's confident she will get the pictures you want even with young uncooperative kids. She has excellent location options. I love that we get digital images of everything so I can take my time ordering prints and changing sizes for different family members. Her turnaround time is fast and even the USB stick comes perfectly packaged and shipped to your house. We will be using her again and again!"- HappyFamily4
- August 30, 2017"Kristy was so much fun to work with, amazing with our girls, and the pictures are absolutely stunning. Seriously they were ALL good, which is so rare. She's a real pro, and delightful to work with. We are very happy customers, recommend her highly, and will certainly be coming back to her again in the future for more!"- JGlasscoe
- August 3, 2017"Working with Kristy was fantastic! Our photos came out beautifully and she engaged our 6monthold daughter to capture some absolutely marvelous expressions and some really sweet moments. She also made these two camerashy adults feel totally at ease which we certainly think shows in the photos. These will be photos that we are sure to share and to enjoy looking back at for years to come. While professional photography was a monetary investment that we had to save for, we don't regret it for a moment! Money well spent! Kristy, thank you again and we'll hope to have an opportunity to schedule more photos in the future."- Wolfepack
- August 1, 2017"Kristy was great, very responsive and excellent with the kiddos. We got some very real photos of our family which was just what we were looking for. She accommodated a shoot for maternity, family and my 2 and 4 year old girls. Her rates are higher than some others but so is the quality."- Mamafrog
- July 29, 2017"Kristy took our pictures while we were on vacation in Vermont and she was phenomenal! She was responsive and incredibly flexible with day after day of bad weather delays for our session. Our session was FUN which is saying a lot with 2 very active little boys who in the past we have struggled to get to cooperate. Kristy made the session one big game for the boys which managed to get the best smiles from both of our kids but especially my very serious 4 year old. Thank you Kristy for documenting our family adventure and getting priceless photos of our family!"- HeatherHem
- July 12, 2017"We just had our first multigen photo shoot with Kristy that included eleven family members. Last year for Christmas we gave my parents a gift certificate for a family photo shoot. It turned out to be the best gift ever. From the planning to the execution, Kristy was wonderful to work with. She has great suggestions for clothing, locations, and group shots. She made sure that each family had a chance to pose together, all the kids posed with their grandparents, the couples posed alone and so on. She was so patient while photographing our group. It is no easy task getting such a large group to look natural and relaxed in photos, but she did. We just got our online gallery back and couldn't be more pleased with our pictures. I want to order them all. Kristy is so easy to work with and a consummate professional. I highly recommend hiring her for your next family photo shoot. "- missmagpie
- June 23, 2017"We just had our 3rd session with Kristy. I am more and more impressed by her and her work after each session! She is so responsive and helpful leading up to the session regarding location, clothing choices, etc. During the session, she goes above and beyond to get the best photos possible. She was absolutely incredible with my 3 year old daughter who can be difficult for photos! We've done 2 regular sessions and 1 mini session and have been extremely happy with the experience and photos each time. I do enjoy the full sessions more and plan to continue with those in the future. We will continue to have Kristy photograph our family, hopefully for many years to come!"- ashfrancke
- March 22, 2017"We had the incredible pleasure of working with Kristy to do our maternity photography session. Cannot say enough how easy it was to work with her. She is truly an artist with her ability to produce the most impeccable quality pictures we've ever had taken, and more importantly, capture the joy we have for this phase of things for all to see. Kristy's personality is so warm, friendly and fun, that it felt like we have known her for years, and we enjoyed doing the shoot very much. We can't wait for our little one to arrive to work with her again, and would recommend her to anyone who asked! "- bajamc0807
- February 28, 2017"We had a lovely time with Kristy for our photoshoot with our newborn. She was very relaxed and made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera. She also was very flexible during the shoot which was interrupted by breastfeeding, dirty diapers and a baby who wouldn't fall asleep! She pictures are beautiful and she was so fast in getting us the gallery to preview and the prints were available in no time! I would highly recommend Kristy for newbornfamily photos as she is extremely professional, talented and the results are amazing!"- Jflanagan
- January 23, 2017"Kristy takes the photos for our child's childcare center, and they are fantastic. Kristy also just took our daughter's one year photos. Kristy was so wonderful and patient with our little one, and she captured the most precious poses of this special time. We were thrilled with the digital images and really loved receiving the prints. Every detail of this process was flawless. Kristy is wonderful to work with. Thanks, Kristy!"- mmd
- December 12, 2016"We had such a wonderful experience working with Kristy, and are so happy that we chose her to capture our maternity photo shoot. Kristy kept things relaxed and easy, and even my husband who hates taking pictures was able to get into the shoot. The photos that Kristy took are absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't believe she captured so many wonderful moments on such a chilly day! We are so thankful for our beautiful photos, and can't wait to use Kristy again when our little guy gets here! "- LisLeBlanc
- December 10, 2016"This was our first session with Kristy! We were fortunate enough to have her help us document the reveal of our first pregnancy to our parents. She was nothing short of amazing! She fit us in last minute and was extremely accomodating of our need for a quick and speedy order due to a last minute surprise trip by my parents. We both felt extremely comfortable during the shoot, and in absolute awe of the product. If youre looking for a top knotch overall experience call Kristy. I assure you that you will not be disappointed ! "- Mrsflint8
- December 9, 2016"This was my familys third shoot with Kristy and she continues to demonstrate absolute professionalism. She is considerate, offering to redo our shoot because our 2 year old was having an off day, kind, buying the same 2 year old a doughnut to cheer him up, and of course her work speaks for itself amazing! Kristy is a gem that I am so happy to have found and will continue working with her for years to come!"- Nicole Burnell

- December 4, 2016"We absolutely loved our family photos from Kristy and we had a great experience from start to finish. She was quick to respond to emails, helped us pick out clothes and a lovely location, and was extremely quick to get us our finished products. On site, she engaged both us and our one year old, and knew, despite my disappointment that we had to layer up our daughter for the cold day, that the shots would still come out amazing. She has a great eye for lighting, and really knows how to capture the moments that really matter. Thanks again Kristy! "- Shortstack019
- November 28, 2016"I could not be more pleased with Kristy Dooley! She accommodated our short time window, helped with clothing choices and picked the perfect location! It was a cold day, but Kristy worked quickly and made it fun! She is great with children, allowing them to play games and be silly. Kristy really know how to capture the magic of REAL moments. She is quick with turnaround, and they images took my breath away. Tears came to my eyes when i saw the pure joy in my daughters face and the love in our family. Thank you, Kristy, for a truly wonderful experience!"- CKutler
- November 16, 2016"Kristy was absolutely amazing. She knew exactly how to engage our children to get their personalities on camera, even when our youngest one was being semiuncooperative. I have to admit, I was bummed at first because it was such a gloomy day in November, and the color at our location seemed a bit drab, but Kristy worked her magic and the pictures look simply flawless. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience, and we look forward to using her as our goto photographer for our family."- jingyen

On the day of photo shooting, Kristy arrived early and all ready for action, she was awesome, know how to make my boy laugh and try to capture every details we asked for. Since we live far, Kristy put together a beautiful package and mailed the photos to me , I was very surprised by the gift. Thank you very much for the gift and I will sure come back and take more pictures with Kristy. Thank you."- MassResident
- October 14, 2016"Kristy was amazing! We booked our session in early summer for September thinking it would be warm and of course it ended up being a very chillywindy day. Our daughter 3 fell asleep en route to the session and when we arrived neither kid was into posing or keeping their shoes on for that matter. Mom was feeling very stressed, but somehow Kristy worked her magic and captured moments I didn't think were possible. The photographs capture our children exactly the way they are at this moment in time you can see the mischief, excitement, love, and spunk in each photo. Seriously, folks Kristy has an amazing talent. Don't hesitate to book her!"- liannecleary
- October 12, 2016"Kristy was fantastic to work with! We had a family shoot with our 2 month old daughter. She was able to capture amazing photos of our little one and very genuine portraits of our family. The turn around time for our images was very quick. Kristy had a gallery of our pictures available online within a week and a digital copy mailed within two weeks. We would highly recommend Kristy and look forward to working with her again in the future."- Sacheeseman
- October 11, 2016"Kristy was awesome! Our baby 11 mos hadn't slept well the night before, but she captured some precious baby moments nonetheless. Our puppy also wasn't easy to wrangle but Kristy managed to get some lovely shots of her. The entire experience setting up the photo shoot, the day of, and the ordering since has been smooth. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kristy."- ldeppman

I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a family photographer!"- Amanda Coyle
- September 12, 2016"Kristy was great to work with and did a phenomenal job with the photos. She was more expensive than other photographers I looked at, but was absolutely worth paying extra for and I couldn't be happier with my senior photos. "- reedl
- September 11, 2016"The whole photo experience from scheduling the photo session, to having the photos taken and then getting the final product was wonderful. Kristy is professional, friendly and great to work with. All her responses to my emails were timely, she happily rescheduled our session due to inclement weather and she was wonderful with my 4 year old and 9 year old daughters during the photo session. She suggested a great location for our photos, and got some really great shots of our family, even though my four year old was pretty hyper that day. She had our photos to us in less than two weeks and the photos were amazing! I can't wait to have our photos taken again next year. She has also done my four year old's school photos for the last two years, and we have been very happy with those as well. I highly recommend Kristy!"- JLeLa
- August 13, 2016"Kristy was great with both my husband who had to leave for work! and our baby who is not a morning person. She met us at a local farm and brought different blankets for ground shots. She was great at getting our 2 month old to smile and she was patient when he became fussy. She sent us a small proof later that day and then the gallery was up in less than a week. We received a proof book and usb of images all within less than 2 weeks! I can't wait to have Kristy come for winter shots of the family!"- tommysmommy

Our two kids now ages 4 and 2 love to work with Kristy, she is fun and wonderful with working with young children and creating both a fun and relaxed environment for them, which results in natural and fun photos.

- July 20, 2015"I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Kristy. After looking into multiple photographers for a large family photo session, it was easy to chose to go with Kristy, as from the very beginning she was the most responsive and helpful. The planning process was flawless. Kristy was always available and quick to respond to any questions andor concerns I may have had. During the photo session Kristy was wonderful with everyone, especially all of the children there were 8 children ranging from ages 1 to 10. During the planning process I had provided a family tree for Kristy and the day of the shoot everyone was so impressed that she knew everyones names There were 22 of us in total!!! She had a smile on your face the entire time and really helped guide us in enjoying the session. The efficiency of completing the gallery and mailing out the prints and USB were shocking actually and the professional and warm hearted packaging made me feel as though she truly appreciated and enjoyed working with us. And of course the pictures she captured were the icing on the cake. I felt as though she was really able to capture the true personalities of all of us. Kind, gifted, and professional through and through. I look forward to working with Kristy again for more photography sessions."- ladyfish
- July 11, 2015"We recently visited our college town in Burlington with our two kids under 4 in tow. Thought it was a cool opportunity to get pictures done of our family. Being a photographer, I am never in front of the camera. It is not my comfort zone AT ALL. I had anxiety about the session all weekend. Within moments of meeting Kristy, she had me genuinely smiling and I felt completely at ease. She was engaging, superfriendly, and beyond that, just so darn talented. When we ended the session, my husband said, That was really fun, but I wonder if she got anything good. I feel like we just existed in front of the camera. Well, we just received our gallery and expectations were BLOWN out of the water. They are gorgeous, natural, lovefilled, and will be treasured for years to come. Thank you Kristy for making our experience such a wonderful one. We cannot thank you enough."- jennygrantdigital

And as soon as we met, it was like we knew her forever as she made us my husband and I and our 6 year old so comfortable. Kristy had this amazing way of capturing our true personalities and it seemed almost effortless. She is a true artist and fabulous photographer that I can't wait to work with again! Thank you again for capturing our first family photo session in Vermont!!"- kyrapadula
- June 21, 2015"Kristy is an amazing photographer and was so easy to work with! She was extremely accommodating while trying to set up a time and date for our photos. She was always available and responsive to any questions throughout the process. During the session, she made us feel very comfortable and relaxed and captured amazing photos! She did a great job working with our toddler and making her laugh! She showed us a couple sneak peek photos the very same day of the shoot and had the actual photos available for us within a few days. It was incredible! I can't wait to have Kristy take our family photos again soon. I would highly recommend her!"- ashfrancke
- June 9, 2015"We were visiting family in VT and looked all over for a photographer to capture us all together which is rare. I am so happy we found and chose Kristy. She is fantastic! She's incredibly personable and organized and the whole process was a breeze. A bonus, she was amazing with the youngest members of our group 4, 2, and 4 months. I'm going to cherish all of the photos she took, they're wonderful!"- CGros

Great insight on where to hold the shoot a cloudy April afternoon looked like spring in full bloom. I could not be happier with the final product, she captured the essence of my family with such ease. Which is why I have already booked my next shoot! "- burnellnicole
- April 24, 2015"Look no further, Kristy is the best family photographer you will find. We had high expectations from working with several photographers in Chicago. Kristy was able to give us just what we were afterand made it fun too. I'm thrilled with the pictures she got of each member of our family of 6. She was fun for the kids so it was easy to get genuine smiles. Even my husband said the session was enjoyable. She's patient, efficient and professional. She had convictions about the lighting that proved to be brilliant. She has a great eye. I will definitely use her again and cherish the photos as well as the actual memory of our day in the woods with Kristy"- robieday
- February 26, 2015"My husband and I have been lucky enough to work with Kristy twice now, once when we were first engaged and again at our wedding this past summer. I can't say enough how wonderful her work is. She pays close attention to the important details, while also making you feel extremely comfortable and at ease during the entire session. All of our photos look so natural and I'll treasure these pictures forever. I can't wait to work with her again once we are ready to have children. "- VT2106

- January 8, 2015"I could say so much about our experience with Kristy and her big heart and contagious smile. However, for me it comes down to the prints on my walls and how the photograph that makes me feel the most beautiful is the one she took when I was nearly eight months pregnant at our wedding location. Looking at that photograph I feel beautiful and I see the beauty of pregnancy and motherhood that I never understood prior. It is a very special photograph that is now in our daughters room. After our daughter was born Kristy came to our house and spent time with us taking lifestyle photographs, treasures we will keep forever and have shared with many, many people through our announcements. Thanks Kristy for sharing not only your talent but your passion!"- defreitas

Kristy not only captures incredible photos she captures feelings inside the pictures! She is so professional and caring and just captured one of the most emotionally, happy days of our families lives. These are photos we will look at for years and years and they are all perfect thanks to Kristy Dooley Photography. We have already recommended her to others and will definitely use her again. She is wonderful. "- sweetpsue
- May 26, 2014"Kristy is amazing. We recently had a photo shoot with her. The photos are absolutely beautiful, and we will treasure them forever. Kristy was so flexible with the timing of the shoot, and was willing to meet early in the morning when our cranky babe was likely to be the happiest. Kristy was fun, relaxed, and totally listened to what we wanted in our shoot and provided it. I never felt rushed, or uncomfortable which is hard to find in a photographer. I would recommend Kristy to everyone who is looking for family photos! She is very reasonably priced for what she includes. We will definitely be going back to her. Also, keep an eye out for her minisessions she seems to do them every so often. Mini Sessions are a great way to get some professional pictures and not have to pay an arm and leg!"- mommabearm
- April 17, 2014"If you're looking for a true professional to capture precious images of either your newborn or children, I'd highly recommend Kristy Dooley. Kristy photographed my six day old son and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Kristy was professional, warm and inviting and has an amazing eye for capturing exactly what the client wants. She was also so gentle and patient with my little guy. She treated him like her own. Kristy pays attention to the smallest of details and doesn't accept anything less than perfection in her work. Working with Kristy is worth every penny and I look forward to working with her again in the future! Thank you Kristy! "- HeatherJean
- January 2, 2014"We have used many different photographers over the years to capture our family's memories...our experience with Kristy was, by far the best! Kristy was incredibly patient in answering all my questions and offered helpful suggestions about location, clothing, and even the best time of day for our session. She is responsive, timely and professional. At our session she immediately connected with our children and put us all in a great frame of mind for our pictures. She stayed with us until she got all the shots we wanted and she was fun, kind and made the session enjoyable. Our sneak peek was up within days and we had our pictures very quickly. We couldn't be happier with our pictures or with Kristy. We're grateful to have found a photographer who is so wonderful to work with. We are all looking forward to our next session! Book with Kristy you'll be so happy you did!"- Abby
- December 31, 2013"Each time Kristy has taken pictures of our family we have been delighted. She has captured everything from maternity and newborn to toddler and family photos for us and we are so lucky to have found her. Each session has been perfect! Because of her patients and professionalism we have found the sessions to be relaxing and fun rather than stressful and awkward. She brings energy to the shoot that is infections. My husband and I, whom were both hesitant of taking family photos were both amazed with how natural the photos came out and how she was able to capture our family. She has always been flexible with times and places and is always willing to get us a quick sneak peak of a couple photos which we truly appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Kristy for all different types of photo sessions and look forward to using her again in the near future."- carlyc
- December 31, 2013"Our photo shoot with Kristy was wondeful. She is fun, energetic, professional, and fabulous with young children. My daughter still talks about her! We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our family photos. I highly recommend Kristy."- deb
- December 30, 2013"Our shoot was so much fun thanks to Kristy's flexibility, humor, and willingness to go with the flow as she captured not only a new baby, but new parents as well! She was willing to answer all my questions, adapt our times to match our son's schedule, and of course the pictures were beautiful! We are already looking forward to another session when we're in Vermont this summer!"- JCook
