Kind Words from Clients
Parent of a Senior Portrait Session
A. Mercedes was really personable and easy to work with. She was able to fit us in quickly and we were able to see the finished pictures quickly. Our son was super excited about getting pictures taken but Mercedes made it fun!
- Becca Stiles-Stiles-Nogosek (Events Manager and coordinator)
A. Mercedes photographed our fundraising event for our non-profit organization. Mercedes was cheerful, laid back, punctual, professional and fun.
She has a great spirit and documented our event efficiently and effectively. I have not had an event photographer that a guest came to me to compliment before, and that happened with Mercedes at this event. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others who are looking for a photographer with a great eye.

A. She was professional and fun and made me feel incredibly comfortable!
After one pop up session, I am sold! Mercedes did an incredible job suggesting poses and making me feel comfortable and natural. The finished images are stunning, she is so gifted and I absolutely recommend her for photos!
- Rebecca Bedell - (Madison, WI Writer for Our Lives Magazine Article)
A. Mercedes was a joy to work with, maybe the best photoshoot I've ever had. I had high hopes for what my professional photos would look and feel like, and our shoot fulfilled all of those hopes and more. As a gender-nonconforming person it's rare and valuable to feel as natural and empowered in front of the camera as I did.
Mercedes and I just really clicked - there was a natural flow to the poses and backdrop changes, and I always felt like I had agency to adjust myself or present myself how I wanted. I didn't feel rushed. I felt respected and I had lots of fun!
