"I want to start by saying I have never been \"camera shy\" but that was until I had my first professional photography session! \n\nI had heard about Genevieve Hansen through a few friends that had all used her and she came highly recommended! So I thought I would reach out and see if she was available to help me with a little surprise for my fianc\u00E9 as she has always wanted to get professional photos! \n\nGenevieve was more than happy to help me figure everything out, help with multiple great locations that I could pick from, and not to mention we showed up late to our first photo session! Genevieve saw from minute 1 that my fianc\u00E9 and I were brushing off being irritated that we made each other late and trying to make the whole surprise happen. She instantly brought up that we should take a break and reschedule when we can be more relaxed and genuinely happy! That is unheard of these days for a business professional to place her business on hold to ensure for the best possible outcome! \n\nSo, here comes round 2 and we are back and ready to roll... Turns out that when I am put on the spot for photos I am not as photogenic as I once thought! I was nervous! I felt awkward as I wasn't use to having to \"pose\" for the photos. By the third photo taken, I had completely forgot that I was in a photo session! Genevieve had me talking and laughing and explaining our lives. It took me a couple weeks to realize how amazing she was at making me feel very comfortable in a situation that I at first did not! \n\nThen when we received the photos back, we were stunned! She was able to capture our natural happiness, even though we could be irritated at the first go around, to seeing the photos she was able to take we both realized how amazing life is and how blessed we are! ALL from seeing both of us smile in the photos! \n\nGenevieve is wonderful to work with!"^^ . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
