Hi Carrie,

We wanted to thank you for the pictures from the Arnburg’s reception and the kind words about our staff and club!  The pictures are gorgeous and you really nailed the beauty of the club.  We do not have many of the front of the clubhouse plus you provided us with a variety of different (and new) perspectives – they are great!  We truly appreciate it and we will definitely be using them in our marketing materials.

Thanks again!

"I don't even know where to begin...To be honest, I've been procrastinating on writing this testimonial because I cannot possibly put into words how pleased we were with Carrie's work and professionalism on our wedding day. When the two of us met prior to the wedding to discuss logistics and a timeline, Carrie suggested taking "first look" pictures and family/group pictures before the ceremony. As most brides have probably experienced, it can be difficult to spend quality time with each of their guests during the reception. But, because she accounted for this time, I was able to share intimate, individual moments with each one of my guests. Additionally, I appreciated the time allotted for my fiancé and I to interact with each other before the hustle and bustle of the ceremony and reception. There are very few days in life when you put that much time into your appearance! So, the 'first look' gave us the chance to take it all in and then remember that feeling later through photos. Couples put so much time and thought into planning and executing ALL of the wedding details that when their big day finally arrives, the couple rarely gets to bask in the final production. But, thanks to Carrie's meticulous and journalistic approach to photography, we get to revisit our beautiful day over and over again. Overall, when I reflect on our wedding day, what I remember most is how smoothly, flawlessly, and effortlessly everything flowed. On her blog, Carrie called me a low-key, laid-back bride. These are not adjectives that my family would ever use to describe me. So, let it be known that it was only because of Carrie's organized, friendly, and intuitive demeanor that allowed me to relax on our wedding day. I trusted her. She was all in. You could just sense that her one and only focus was on preserving the memories created that day. I would highly recommend Carrie Krupke and Pitch Perfect Picture for any and all photographic events. (Maybe even ask her to be your wedding planner/coordinator. I believe that role would suit her as well.)"   - Jennifer Cornelius

So, I'm pretty positive I have one of the cutest babies ever!. . . Thank you for yet again capturing what we say is "so Soren" in so many of the pictures. Thanks for everything, I am truly blessed to have found you as a photographer for Soren.  We are blown away everytime at the amazing pictures you capture and we will keep for a lifetime.

Thank you so much for the fun photo shoot and great pictures, Carrie! We love them and your creativity! :) We are looking forward to our wedding day! 3 weeks!  Amy & Trey

My husband and I had a blast doing a photo shoot with Carrie! She made us feel so comfortable and allowed us to really be ourselves the entire time. I love how our personalities come out in the pictures Carrie took of my husband and me. She really captured the essence of who we are, so we love looking at the photos. We've really enjoyed being able to share our photos with family and print some for ourselves to enjoy.

 Carrie, 
[We appreciate] having the ability to choose and print as many of the ones we like. [And] I was able to include a ton of them in our year-in-review photobook.  Many are hung-up in our home, some were made into collage posters from [Carson's] birthday milestone pictures and many were printed and given to family. We enjoyed having a few of the sessions at our house where our son was most comfortable being his usual surroundings and being himself, having the pictures of him with our own Christmas tree, [and] playing with some of his favorite toys are the best memorable pictures. We also liked your suggestion of going to the park with Gerard's car! 

From Elaine (Carson 9.10)

Carrie,

Thank you so much for sharing your story and pictures of your beautiful grandparents. Also, thanks for your help with taking all of the photographs for the Angels Touch event. We are confident we will be contacting you again for our next event to help us out. 

Thanks again and thank you for sharing.

Picture-taking with little ones can be as stressful as gettin' a tooth pulled but Carrie was so relaxed and reassuring throughout the whole process-what a gift! She worked hard to get just the shot I was looking for and we ended up with exceeded expectations when we received our CD of pics! Carrie truly is a gifted photographer and has an eye for beautifully capturing a memory! Thanks a ton, Carrie! We're so happy! 

Jessica (Blair & London 11.10)

Hey Carrie!  I got the CD of the pictures!  I love Love LOVE them!  You did such a great job!  I feel so overwhelmed going through them because I don't know how I'm going to narrow down my favorites!  I like the super close ups that you shot of the girls' faces.  Adorable. Thank you so much! (wow, I've really used a lot of exclamation marks....I'm just really excited about the pics!!!!)  :)  Kearstin (Eden & Bri 11.10) 

 

Thank you thank you Carrie, for the awesome pictures of the kids, I love all of them! You did such a great job with catching them at just the right time, even though they all were very busy trying to go all different directions! Thanks again:) Alyvia, Jude, Ben & Brody's Mom, Lindsay (AJB&B 10.10)

 

We did get the pictures and love them all, you did an amazing job in capturing Stephanie at her best moments- they are very precious.  I thank you so very much for all that you did for us for her senior picture moments.  Stephanie just adores the card and note that you sent back to us, she was so tickled by receiving this from you, she said she was going to tell all her friends that she highly recommends you for them to. :)

The meeting beforehand was good...As far as the day of... Everything went so smoothly. I can honestly say of all the wedding vendors we used you were the easiest to organize things with. I love how you guys are so friendly even though we don't know either of you very well. It really helps to relax and enjoy the day. [Seeing] John beforehand was definitely a plus. Considering how nervous I was during the ceremony, I think I would have fallen over at the altar had I not gotten some of those butterflies taken care of before. The wedding was a flood of emotions and mental sensations. I did my best not to cry walking down the aisle and I succeeded! Not only that, I completely forgot about crying by the end because my stomach was flipping and flopping around and there wasn't much else but John to concentrate on. So needless to say, the First Look pictures helped tremendously.
Carrie (Carrie + John 9.18.10)

Looking back, my wedding did go as planned. Everything went smoothly and even things that did not go smoothly were fixed in the end... The pictures were amazing! They looked so good. Both the traditional shots and fun shots turned out great. I liked how we were able to have some fun while shooting the pictures as it made my nerves calm down a bit. Plus since I have been a bride and a bridesmaid, taking fun pictures helps with both. My favorite picture and probably the one that most often get talked about between our parents, the bridal party, and random  friends is the tug of war picture. I love that picture and for some reason everyone else does too!

 Cindy (Cindy + Greg 7.2.10)

I wanted to let you know how much Justin and I really L-O-V-E the wedding pictures! We were so excited to see them that we could hardly wait, but good things come to those who wait! I have never been the type to like pictures of myself at all, but I can't quit looking at them and falling more and more in love with them every time I set my eyes on them! You guys really managed to capture the day in every aspect, the love, the joy, the sadness (well, joyful sadness if that makes sense at all) and just everything all of us were feeling that day. I am so mesmerized by the beauty in each one of those pictures, I couldn't have asked for anything better! I want to thank you and Justin from the bottom of my heart for the most beautiful way to remember the best day of my life- I'll never be able to thank you enough for that!

Thank you again so much!

Carrie we are so pleased with the pictures that you took of our family.  Although the weather was not cooperating, you were still able to take some great outdoor shots.  I can't wait to develop the pictures and get them framed on the wall.  We will definitely be booking you for future sessions of the girls as they grow.  Thanks so much!

Hi Carrie!

Hope you are doing well! My name is Justin Nations and I am Josh’s manager…my dad actually found the pics you took of Josh [McDowell]! GREAT JOB! Is there any way we can get these pictures and possibly use some?

Let me know if this is possible!

Thanks!

Manager to Josh McDowell

Thank you so much for capturing the true spirit of my family. I liked how well you interacted with the boys and how quickly you moved to get the pictures done and keep the boys' attention. That is not always an easy task when working with a dog, a 4 year old and a 7 year old!
Thanks again,
Miriam Sayre

Carrie,
Thank you so much for taking Clara's 1 year pictures! They are so precious. She already looks so much older and I'm glad we have the pics to look back on her special milestone. . .
Thanks!
