I recently had the pleasure of working with Allison for a photography session, and I couldn t be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to work with. The session itself was a lot of fun. Allison has a unique ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, which really shows in the final photos. She gave me (and my son) great direction while also allowing for some spontaneous moments that turned out beautifully. The quality of the photos exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail, the use of natural light, and the ability to capture the perfect moment were just remarkable. I was also impressed with how quickly Allison and team edited and delivered the photos. Overall, I highly recommend Allison for any photography needs. Whether you re looking for portraits, family photos, or any other type of session, you won t be disappointed. I m already looking forward to our next session!

Excellent! I went to Allison for professional head shots, and I was very pleased. Allison takes care of every thing from start to finish. She has a talented makeup artist, Heather, at the studio for hair and makeup so it s one stop shopping. After finishing with Heather, Allison took about 100 pictures. I picked the ones that I liked best. They were delivered to me in a few days. Photos were excellent! I ve already recommended Allison to several friends.

Allison and her team do a wonderful job of making you comfortable and getting you ready for the photo shoot. From the first email, to the day of the shoot I felt prepared for the session. I absolutely hate to have my picture taken but, the team did a great job making me comfortable from the moment I walked into the studio. The process was efficient and I had the picture the next week! I am super happy with how they turned out and appreciate Allisons expertise.

What a wonderful experience! I needed new headshots and booked a mini session. Id never done them before and wasnt sure what to expect. The pre-shoot makeup session was great, and relaxing. I was a little nervous about the actual shoot, but Allison was easy to work with. She kept the atmosphere light and talked me through the whole process. If I ever need portraits done again I would definitely return to this studio. And I recommend them for any portrait needs---graduation, family, portfolio, etc.

Ive never taken family portraits ever, I have a large family and three of them were under the age of 6, so I was anxious. Allison and Jennifer were there every step of the way, from the clothing to the color scheme, creative ideas, literally keeping the children relaxed and happy. The pictures are beautiful and Im so happy with the whole experience. The portraits were installed in my vacation home by a local professional and worry free!! They were exactly like the quote and setup we agreed on, no surprises or hiccups. I will be back again. She is very good at what she does.

I teach photography at EverydayPhotoClass and I hired Allison to take my family portraits. Being a teacher of photography means I am probably overly critical of photographers because I can easily identify their short comings. However, I was very impressed by Allisons technical, artistic, and relational skills. It is rare that I can offer such high compliments to a photographer but Allison really deserves it. Allison is certainly my top recommendation for professional portraits. She actually knows what shes doing and her quality is top notch.

I am so happy with our family portraits taken by Allison Wilkins. From start to finish, every detail was thought of from providing assistance with makeup, selecting outfits, finding the perfect poses for the family and having the portraits framed and professionally hung in our home, it was a fun and rewarding experience. I will treasure the portraits for years to come!

Our family has had the privilege of having Allison Wilkins McPhail photograph us at various stages of life and in varied groups of family members over the years. Each finished product is absolutely stunning! Allison is very skilled at capturing a special moment in time and creating a beautiful photograph that preserves that moment. The experience of the photo shoot with Allison is always so much fun! She has a lovely way of making you feel comfortable, and making it easy to smile. Each experience weve had with Allison as our photographer has been enjoyable and resulted in fantastic photos, no matter the size of our group. Our family photos have varied from just the four of us, to a group of 25 precious family members gathered to celebrate my Moms 70th birthday! Thank you, Allison, for being so dear to our family...your professionalism, kindness, artistry and talent are exceptional.

Our family has used Allison for photos on multiple occasions. Her holiday photos are some of my favorite photos we have, and when Allison took a 4-generation photo for my family the photos literally took my breath away! The quality is exceptional, and Allison does an amazing job photographing even the tiniest and most unwilling subjects.

Allison McPhail took beautiful family photos for us. She was professional and personable- making the experience fun and memorable for our family of 6 (comprised of teens and college students). The photos captured personalities, love and laughter. We had a hard time choosing because they were so well done. Thanks for capturing a fun family afternoon, Allison! It was a pleasure working with you.

For 15 years Evin, then Allison and Laura, have captured our family. Three generations (and a couple of dogs and even a hedgehog!) have been rewarded with beautiful, creative images that reflect the character as well as growth in our family. Always polite, yet relaxed, each session we have is always a bunch of fun - on top of delivering exceptional results. In short, we can t say enough about how wonderful Allison and Laura have been through the last session, and we ll look forward to future opportunities as the family matures (and grows?!?!) even more. They are truly carrying forward the phenomenal legacy of Evin!

Allison McPhail is a very talented photographer. I could not be happier with how my sons senior portraits and graduation announcements turned out. I appreciate how much time and effort she put into her work, including scoping out potential photo locations in advance and patiently creating several different drafts of the graduation announcement until we got it just right. Highly recommended!

Laura King at Evin Thayer Studios is an outstanding photographer. She has done maternity photos for my daughter, as well as newborn, 6-month and annual birthday photos for each of my two grandchildren. Every time I see Laura s work, I am amazed by her creativity and her ability to make my grandchildren s personalities shine through the camera lens. The worst part is trying to choose a favorite from all of the exceptional photographs that she provides. After seeing Laura s work, I understand why she is an award winning photographer. Each award is truly deserved.

Laura King (at Evin Thayer Studios) is absolutely phenomenal! She has been our family s photographer since 2016, and I can t imagine ever using anyone else. The level of her talent cannot be described in words. She truly captures amazing images, and her creativity and eye for detail are unmatched. Her sweet and kind personality helps everyone to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she definitely has a way with babies and children. I cannot recommend her enough!

Family photo of our dog. Evan handled the dog so well, aclamated her to the office and studio before the photo shoot began so she was well at ease when the shoot began. Almost too well our dog was so comfortable she was yawning when it came time for the photo. Evan coached some amazing poses from our pooch. Bey happy with results

The pictures were so mediocre and so expensive. He expected me to do most of the work with posing my child. Im not a photographer. How would I know what to do?

I first saw his work at an exhibit and fell in love with the family black and whites. After I had children of my own, I followed through in getting photographed by him and ended up with what would become my absolute favorite pieces of art...four breathtaking pictures of my boys (one taken every 5 years until they left home). I still have them on the wall and enjoy them everyday. He managed to capture so many wonderful shots that I started crying when I came to view the proofs and couldnt decide which one to blow up...thankfully, his team helped me narrow it down easily. We grew up using Evin Thayer Studios and would highly recommend him.
