Reviews of Lightshed Photography Studio (Photo Studio)

Kati Melanson

Kendra is amazing we saw her for the first time two years ago for a photo shoot with my twin sons who were 4 at the time and my newborn daughter. She did an amazing job getting everyone in one beautiful picture. She was always kind no matter what chaos was ensuing. We saw her again this spring for some Easter photos and again she was able to catch a beautiful picture of my high-energy little friends. I cannot thank her enough for her patience and efforts to get the right picture. We will be back in the winter for a holiday picture!

Dan was incredibly nice. However, I paid photography, not chat. His was work good, but not great. I didn’t notice much of a difference in the edited photos. ????????‍♂️

Formal Elements

Decent work but dont expect anything custom.

Kendra was amazing from start to end! She was so accommodating. This was our first time having professional photos and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The pictures came out absolutely stunning!

Dan and Kendra are the best! We use them at least a half dozen times a month for real estate photography. They are timely and professional and always courteous to our clients. Most importantly, they always produce a great product!

Dan and Kendra do amazing work. Kendra is so very talented with her portraits, and I do not hesitate to refer Dan for commercial work, which I have done numerous times. Not only his natural eye, but the technology he brings to photo shoots is first class. I have referred him to one realtor, and now his talent is spreading like wildfire for real estate photography. First rate.

Kendra did an EXTRAORDINARY JOB with my sons newborn photos, she even let my oldest daughter think the photo shoot was about her!

Dan is an amazing photographer. His creativity and ability to capture his subject's personality amazes me. I have used him for my own headshots and he's the only photographer I recommend to my clients for theirs.

We started with Easter photos several years ago and fell in love with Kendra’s beautiful photography... now three years later, we haven’t missed an opportunity since to capture these precious moments with our growing family! Kendra’s photos never disappoint, from maternity to newborn to holidays... and even professional headshots! We love working with her behind the camera, too. She has a natural ability to bring out the best with children, whether they are brand-new newborns, rambunctious toddlers, or curious kids. Working with Lightshed has really made it a joy to relive our family memories, and we look forward to capturing many years ahead of us with Kendra!

I can not say enough good things about Dan and Kendra. Leading up to our wedding the communication with them was awesome they were there to answer every question and concern we had. They were so much fun to work with the day of the wedding that it helped ease our nerves a little bit, and they made taking the thousands of pictures we had to take so much fun instead of awkward! The more I look at our wedding pictures the more I love them, they were so on top of the lighting of the day that our formal pictures have this amazing amount of light poking through the trees making the pictures look magical! I am very critical of myself in pictures and I can honestly say with the angles, posing, and lighting they used I love every single one of the pictures! Thank you so much for helping us remember our special day in the best way!

Great company - you can’t go wrong. I’ve known Dan and Kendra for years and in addition to what you see in their portfolio, there’s so much more behind the scenes. Most photographers can put together a descent portfolio, but to continually produce with every client, every time - that takes something else. Lightshed produces consistently amazing work, and I was very happy they were able to do so for my wedding.

What a fantastic group of dedicated and professional photographers. Highly skilled in both portrait and wedding photography, I doubt you will ever find a more talented bunch. A complete joy to work with, pleasent and helpful, and willing to go the extra mile.

D. Colburn

Dan was fantastic and extremely professional! He made the process was quick and easy and I walked away with many high-quality head shots. I will surely use him for future projects. Highly recommend!

Megg Martin

Dan and Kendra were the photographers for our wedding in July '17. I could not have asked for a better team to capture our day! They were warm and welcoming from the first time we met them. On the day of the wedding they captured all the right details, made everyone feel at ease, genuinely seemed to enjoy themselves and took the time to whisk us away for some romantic shots over the water in Marblehead. What a fantastic couple!

T. Michael Sullivan

Great work, professional and fast. Great value too.

LightShed Photography just delivered a wedding album to my wife and I. They were not our wedding photographer and they were not at our wedding. When we did not get our album from our wedding photographer Dan St.John consulted on creating the album for us with pictures by another photographer. Not only did the album exceed our expectations but he managed to capture the feelings of the day, without being there at all. My wife and I could not be happier with the outcome. I would recommend LightShed to anyone who needs professional photography services.

Christopher Copelas

Lightshed does an absolutely fantastic job in all that they do. The attention to detail is incredible and the quality of work is second to none. For business or personal I couldn't recommend anyone higher.

Christine Ulanowski

We did the Santa Session for our 3-year-old this year and it was such a fun and positive experience. My son has been talking about it for weeks. I couldn’t believe how many gorgeous shots Kendra got during the mini session. They have the cutest and most photogenic Santa you’ve ever seen too!

Andrew Savard

Lightshed was the first company I came across when searching for a photographer. The professionalism displayed with the quality of their website and portfolio led me to choose them immediately and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of their product or service. From scheduling to photo delivery, the team was highly responsive and accomodating throughout the whole process. Dan made the session a relaxed, comfortable, and very enjoyable experience, all while providing high quality photos. Lightshed Photography comes highly recommended.

Benjamin Bryant

I highly recommend Lightshed Photography for professional headshots. Dan was easy to work with and the quality of the photo was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a photo to accompany a podcast promotion and Dan fit me into his schedule and delivered the final product quickly. The studio is also worth mentioning. A great location and super setup.

James Pochy

I was looking for a local photographer to take professional headshots. I decided to go with Lightshed Photography and happy I did. Dan captured the look and feel I was going for effortlessly - he does amazing work behind the camera. I highly recommend Lightshed Photography!

Janice Y

My best experience with a photographer! Dan arranged for a professional make-up artist and hair stylist at the studio so I didn't have to worry about that. Also, Dan and Kendra made me feel at ease during the shoot which definitely came out in the photos. The studio is beautiful also.

Valerie Martins

As a new business owner, I believe presenting a clear message of the brand and vision of your business is paramount in the initial stages of growth. Thanks to Lightshed Photography Studio, we were able to capture professional head shots for our entire team as well as amazing group photos that truly captured the culture of our practice. Dan and Kendra are two of the most professional and talented people I've had the opportunity to work with. I would highly recommend them and will absolutely be working with them again!

Garrett Dandreo

Easily the best photographers in Salem! I own a private car service in Swampscott and we used Lightshed Photography for staged photos, group photos and a picture for a Christmas card. I'm generally not a fan of taking pictures, but felt very comfortable with Dan behind the camera. He made the whole experience easy and relaxed not to mentioned the quality of the photos was outstanding. I feel confident recommending Lightshed Photography to anyone looking for headshots, wedding photos, baby pictures or anything!

Matthew Ortins

Lightshed Photography Studio is our favorite photography company to work with and refer our clients to. Dan is a very professional and personable photographer who is always a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend using Lightshed Photography for your commercial and personal photography needs!
