Perfection

What can I say, Thais is a DREAM! She makes you feel so confident and relaxed. Not only is the process fun but the end result is stunning. I’ve never loved portraits as much as these. If you want a photographer with a heart of gold that is also a magician behind the camera, you won’t go wrong with this one! We loved her and will recommend to EVERYONE!!!

Best documentary style photos!

Thais is the best! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we will treasure our photos forever. She captured our day perfectly and my favorite photos are the candids of us going through the day. We loved working with her and the day ran smoothly! She did our engagement photos too which were also amazing and she knew such good places to go to have them done!

Most amazing photographer ever!!

Thais with The Anchor Studio is such an amazing woman and photographer. I’ve never had professional pictures taken prior to my wedding, and I was slightly anxious about the process. Shortly after requesting further information from The Anchor Studio about their available packages, Thais sent me an email explaining everything and offered a consultation phone call. Even though I didn’t meet Thais in person yet, just our phone conversation put me at immediate ease. Thais was so flexible and easy going when determining our date and location for our engagement pictures (which had to be rescheduled because of weather). When the engagement session finally came around, Thais made me and my then fiancé feel so comfortable and confident with the camera, I almost forget we were taking pictures. Thais is also a complete sweetheart. When our wedding rolled around months afterward, it was so nice for Thais and us to already be comfortable with one another. Thais captured the emotions and the beauty in every second of that day perfectly. My wedding pictures are some of the most amazing pictures I’ve ever seen and ones that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thais is truly gifted and an absolute professional at her craft.

Outstanding!

Thais was such a delight to work with! We had to postpone our original wedding date because of covid and we were a bit bummed, she offered to shoot our engagement picture that weekend instead. She made us feel so special and hiked the side of the mountain to make it happen! Thais has a gift and makes anyone comfortable in front of the camera! We were floored when we got our engagement picture back and it made us even more excited for our wedding day. She was prompt with communication and was able to handle our last minute questions with ease. Best of all she was able to contain our large and sometimes wild family long enough to get all the group shots. I could not recommend Thais enough. Her services are top notch and I would schedule my next event around her availability- she’s that good!

We ALWAYS choose The Anchor Studio

We love having Thais capture all of our special moments. She does such beautiful work and is so easy to work with. I have never EVER been disappointed with her. She always exceeds my expectations and manages to capture all the sweet moments even when the kiddos aren’t cooperating. She is responsive, professional, creative, and such a pleasure to work with! She is our go-to for any special event/occasion and holiday photos that we will forever cherish!

Thais was incredible to work with!! She made us feel extremely comfortable and we had a blast! We didn’t have to “think” about what to do next, she just guided us along with ease.

Amazing photographer

Thais is quite honestly the best in the business. Her quality is amazing, her passion and heart for photography shine through what she does and she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My fiancé and I were so nervous about posing and she lifted every weight off that we had as soon as we met her! We can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding in four short months. 20/10 recommend her!

Loved Thais!

Loved her attitude and she was so funny. She made me feel less awkward and her pictures came out gorgeous for our engagement session. Also, her website was very transparent about the price and she returned the photos quickly! Highly recommend

The Anchor Studio is amazing!!

Thais took our engagement pictures and we are absolutely in love with how they turned out! We have gotten so many compliments on them and they are exactly what we wanted and more! Thais was really wonderful at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We all had a blast! She even waded in the river to capture the perfect shots. She absolutely blew us away! I cannot recommend her enough
