    Whitney is by far amazing at what she’s does! I’ve previously used a friend for photos who did photography on the side and was on the less expensive side...not saying Whitney isn’t fairly priced, but the difference between the two...you truly get what you pay for. Whitney has an amazing talent - locations, lighting, creativity - she’s the full package and I’ve never had photos bring tears to my eyes like the ones she’s taken for me. We have used Whitney for our Wedding, Maternity and Newborn photos and I can’t stop staring at any of them! She’s so easy to work with, puts us at ease and doesn’t make photo posing awkward. Love her and recommend her to anyone looking for photos!

    Whitney is absolutely the best. I have chosen her as my photographer for years. I have hired Whitney for our annual family portraits, my engagement session and for our wedding in 2017. She is personable, very professional and exceeds all of my expectations. Her portraits are top quality and recommend her 100%!

    Whitney was a amazing photographer for my wedding! Weddings are stressful and it was nice having zero stress that out photos would turn out perfect! Once you sit down and speak with Whitney you know she is 100% confident with her craft and she will make it her highest priority to capture the magic of your special day. She was responsive, prompt, and I received my photos on time! I will for sure be using Whitney for all my future photography needs and highly recommend her to anyone else!

    Whitney did a fabulous job with our engagement and wedding pictures! She was quick to respond to our inquiries and knowledgeable with how we should look and pose for photographs. Weddings can also be crazy and stressful but Whitney was able to keep me calm and sane when things weren't going as planned. I couldn't be more happy with the albums we have received and I can't wait to use her for more picture opportunities going forward!

    Whitney did an outstanding job on our wedding pictures. She met with us prior to the shoot to understand and talk in depth about what we wanted. She also had excellent suggestions based on her wealth of experience.
    She was very professions, brought extra lighting equipment in case the weather di not completely cooperate and was well prepared and on time for our event. Our time was relatively short for the actual shoot, and she helped us work out the order of pictures before hand so that the many people involved could all be photographed in a calm and happy atmosphere, which was great as weddings can involve some stress. She also handled the photos of children with grace and skill, and we have fine pictures of happy children who were involved with our wedding. Whitney helped us with an event early in 2016 and delivered probably the finest family pictures we have, so we had high expectations, and Whitney lived up to thos expectations...

    So far, Whitney has photographed our engagement and wedding photos. We chose her because of her talent, style, and personality. She's professional, focused and witty at the same time. We absolutely love what she has delivered and would book her again in a heartbeat.

    There aren't enough words in the world to describe how amazing Whitney is! When we first got engaged I had attended a wedding show where I booked a photographer who had great looking pictures. I won’t name names but it was the worse experience ever, the fact that I didn't receive my engagement pictures until 4 MONTHS after they said they would have them the pictures themselves were terrible and didn't fit to who we were as a couple. I was terribly upset and disappointed as this is a very important moment in our life and I wanted pictures to have forever to remember it. A friend had recommended Whitney and as soon as I meet her I knew she was the one. Not only did she listen to want we wanted from our pictures. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and learn the type of relationship we have and translate it into pictures. The day of the wedding she was on time and just as excited as the rest of us! Because my rings were miss placed during the ceremony she even ran into the house and became on the spot ring bearer :) She was so good at keeping me calm and focused when some of my groomsmen’s over drank and were making taking pictures frustrating. She truly takes it all on and handles everything for you. I have never felt more beautiful in my life than looking at the pictures Whitney took made me speechless. Best decision I ever made other than getting married was having Whitney there to capture every moment of my best day!

    I loved working with Whitney! She does what it takes to get a good shot and to capture the most amazing and memorable parts of the engagement and wedding photos. She was quick to respond and was always willing to answer any questions that I had. I would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a photographer

    When Brandon and I started planning our wedding, the very first decision we made was to hire Whitney as our photographer. We hadn’t worked with her professionally before, but after knowing her for years and seeing her amazing work, we didn’t need to think twice. Our engagement session with Whitney was a blast, and she was exceptional as our wedding photographer. She went above and beyond, from wrangling guests & family for photos, finding multiple great settings for bride & groom shots, to continuing to work much later in the reception than planned. I also did a boudoir shoot with her as a surprise wedding gift for my husband. The final results were absolutely stunning - she made me feel like a total rock star! Whitney is such a hard worker and a true artist. Her energy and passion for photography, and desire to please her clients really drives her to give it her all, every time. I couldn't be happier with our photos. Looking through them instantly brings us back to relive some very special days. Working with Whitney is a fun and delightful experience, and the results are absolutely worth every penny.

    Whitney did our engagement and wedding photos and we were nothing short of impressed. She had the experience and knowledge to be able to get the shots we wanted as well as making us feel comfortable doing it. Whitney is priced affordably and will put in the time to make sure the product you get is something she would be proud of. Over all she went above and beyond her duties to make sure our day was captured... I would highly recommend her for any wedding or engagement shoot, you won't be disappointed.

    I have worked with Whitney on a number of different levels. I am not only a client, but also a wedding vendor (hair & makeup). Other than being extremely talented, I feel her next best trait is her assertiveness. Whitney is not afraid to do anything she can to get the best shot. She is the best at posing that I've ever worked with. You will have no doubt that your best angle is perfect, that every hair is in place, and that you look absolutely stunning. She has incredibly attention to detail. She can get amazing photos of wiggly children, and tipsy groomsmen (although, lets try to avoid that! ;)).
    As a vendor, I have great respect for Whitney's ability to be timely, patient, and assertive, all while dealing with a stressed bride, or a crazy mother in law. You can see her talent, education, and experience in every photo. I highly recommend Whitney Patterson Photography for all of your photo needs!

    We purchased an engagement session with Whitney and were very excited! She was great to help us find a beautiful location to take the shoot. She was pleasant during our shoot. It was towards the end of the shoot when I asked her how long it would be before we got our photos and how many pictures, etc. then she became edging/irritated seeming. She gave us a date of when we could expect our pictures and we were ecstatic! A couple days after our pictures we received an invoice for additional time. She said they take about 2 hours originally. Our pictures took 2.5 hours and we wanted our pictures to be perfect and gladly paid her for the additional full hour she charged us. Then she tried to tell us she made a mistake in the number of pictures we would receive from the shoot. We quickly became concerned because first charged more but now we don't get the services she promised. She then said it was a misunderstanding and she would get us what she promised. Our date to receive our pictures came and went. We reached out to her and she told us a bunch of reasons why she had not gotten them to us. We assumed that she would have them in a week. We felt 7 days extra was reasonable before contacting her again. When talking to her a week later Whitney still had not done them and couldn't even give us a date when to expect them. We had to get save the dates and invitations out, hence the reason for our pictures. The whole experience was becoming ridiculous and a huge hassle! Whitney was becoming so difficult we were ready to get new engagement pictures. Pictures arrived!!! Yay! We loved our pictures. Whitney had done a great job so it was so disappointing that she was extremely unpleasant to work with. even though her overall quality was great, she missed editing people, bra straps, and other obvious edits out of our pictures, we would have to meet with her. When we met with her she was once again pleasant when we first met, but it was déjà vu, she became unpleasant.

    Whitney Baird Photography's reply:

    While it’s never fun to receive a review you weren’t expecting, I am thankful for the opportunity to share how hard I work to serve my clients. As a photographer who celebrates some of life’s most important moments, nothing makes me happier than thrilled customers, so I work very hard to communicate clearly, exceed expectations, and deliver amazing photos that my clients will cherish for a lifetime. These clients consistently asked for much more than a standard engagement shoot entails, and I worked extremely hard to accommodate all of their requests. When they requested an extra hour and a half on their shoot, I was happy to help and let them know what they could expect in terms of added cost and adjusted timeline (more photos take longer to process and edit). When they requested a much faster turnaround than we had agreed to, I delivered a sneak peek album. I went above and beyond to please these clients, but in the end their expectations were not in line with what a professional photographer can reasonably deliver. Looking back, I was courteous and professional throughout our interactions, even when my clients were not. It was a learning experience for me, and I now use a more detailed contract to help ensure that my clients have read and agreed to photography policies prior to us working together. And, of course, even though there were major hiccups, I’m still glad that these clients loved their photos!
