Jerusha and Marc did a wonderful job on our Christmas mini-session. They were so patient with my occasionally less than cooperative kids and managed to get great images of everyone!

This husband and wife team, is truly the real deal. I found Pfanntastic Photographer when we got engaged in 2016. Jerusha and Marc have shared many special events with us since I discovered them on a group on Facebook. They did our engagement shoot, wedding, baby announcement shoot, and just did our maternity photos. We have already booked newborn and 1st year photos with them as well. We all tend to let price be the main factor as a vendor, I will say, they may not be the cheapest photographers but they always give you a better value than you’ve paid for. Photographers that use the best equipment and take pride in their work. I attached a photo I had my husband snag when they just did our maternity shoot and you can really see their passion. They will never take the easy way out and always make sure the lighting is perfect, even if that means one of them holding one light while two others flash. TRULY PFANNTASTIC PHOTOS! More...

My review will be a little biased since I work for Pfanntastic Photography, but I wouldn't work for any other Photographer or Studio in the city, and I've had many offers to work elsewhere. I feel the style and art the we give to our clients is in a league of it's own! The personal connections we make with each of our clients is rewarding and helps give that extra touch to the sessions. I've used Jerusha for many different projects on jobs that I cannot do myself, and the results are better than any other photographer I've used, period! This company specializes in dynamic lighting and high contrast photography, whether shooting an entire wedding, or a single portrait session. The options for prints, books, props, albums, etc. for clients is endless and the quality of work is consistent throughout the shoot, not just 1 or 2 good images and the rest mediocre. Give Jerusha @ Pfanntastic Photography a chance to earn your business, you'll be glad you did! More...

Such a great experience during the whole wedding planning process. Our engagement sessions was a blast, even for my husband who is much more chill than me about the details of everything. I was mostly impressed with the professional equipment and lighting. The studio lighting makes such a difference in the pictures. Jerusha and Marc know exactly where to place you for pictures and they work together so well. We love our pictures. We cant wait to see the rest. It is pretty amazing to get a preview the day after your session and wedding. More...

Jerusha was the photographer for a Derby fashion shoot that I was modeling for a couple of years ago. This past spring, a client requested new photos last second in order to book me for a job. I was panicked!! I remembered how great Jerusha was & called her up. She was nice enough to stage an impromptu shoot in her own living room for me that very same night!! The pictures turned out great & I landed the gig! Thanks SO much, Jerusha & Pfanntastic Photography! More...

I found Jerusha through a fb friend that posted her engagement photos and I fell in love with her style. She photographed our engagement photos in October and did a wonderful job. We are so happy with all of them, we still can't decide which ones to put in frames because there are so many! She is also photographing our wedding in May which I am super excited about. I love how she pins me ideas, like we are on the same page! Along with being a wonderful photographer her prices are unbearable! She truly is Pfanntastic! More...

Jerusha is amazing! She photographed my best friends wedding a couple years ago and I remember telling her "I'm gonna call you to photograph my wedding. ..We aren't engaged yet though" haha! Two years later, She did our engagement and wedding photos! I wouldn't have had a timeline for my big day as planned out as I did, whithout her! She even helped lace up my wedding dress that took about 15 minutes to do! She is full of ideas and always ready to share them with you. She is so very talented and I will recommend her to everyone! Thanks for everything girl! More...

I love Jerusha! Yesterday was the 2nd time I have used her and I can't wait to see the finished product from my daughters Senior picture shoot.
I highly recommend her to anyone!
I have to add on to this now that I have seen some of the finished results. Jerusha your eye for beauty is amazing. The background of her pictures are absolutely beautiful as well as my baby girl of course, but seeing the finished results are spectacular. When seeing it in person I could imagine what they were going to look like but it 1000 times exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much!

Engagement session was a blast! Jerusha and Marc were already setting up their equipment when we got to Melwood Art Center.
It was like going on a little adventure. They made us feel so comfortable because they gave us little tasks that were like playing a couples game. Jerusha is so attentive to detail. Marc really takes the time to check all the lighting and rearrange equipment as needed. They are hard workers and even show you pics on the camera to keep you feeling involved. Literally her pictures are perfect without photoshop because she would say oh look at this one and show me right then and there. They are so creative with picking locations and coming up with some ideas on the fly to make sure every background is utilized. And Jerusha has an eye for fashion. She knows which outfits create the best contrast. She helped me weeks in advance pick out outfits and she even offered to go shopping with me. Such dedication!!!
Update: And then they got even more amazing on our wedding day. The timeline incorporated every important moment to us and worked around the tight schedule of getting ready. It was a long day and late night but the pictures were posted immediately the next day. My husband and I are so grateful for Jerusha and Marc. The way they know exactly what they need to do with the lighting equipment (and I mean a ton of equipment they carry around like it is nothing haha) and arrange you to capture the scenery is remarkable. We have been blessed to have had them as photographers for the happiest time of our life thus far. They worked hard to help us. They brought wire to help hang my dress from the gate at Gardencourt. They set up the most amazing photo booth that my guests crowded around to use. And the printouts were high quality favors on site. They made our day flow smoothly when we didn’t want a first look. I couldn’t be more pleased with their caring nature and their work! Thank you so much!!!

Jerusha and Marc are exactly what their company is called, FANTASTIC! They are incredibly well versed and seasoned at what they do! They made me and my fiancee feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I'm the type of guy that doesn't like to be photographed. Plus, they had so many good ideas for our engagement shoot about locations and poses that our pictures really stood out from the rest! I had Jerusha at my proposal to capture that moment and she was the first person we called when we started planning our wedding!

I have been going to Jerusha for all of my photography needs since I was searching for a photographer for my Senior Photos! Jerusha has never let me down. She is constantly adjusting her personal style to my needs/wants in a photography session and comes out on top with a wide variety of styles, lighting, poses, and editing! She is so readily available and was very helpful with me trying to decide on a wardrobe for my photos. You get what you pay for and she will knock it out of the park every. Single. Time. More...

Jerusha and Marc are amazing!!! They work so well together and work so well with others. Jerusha really goes above and beyond for her clients and her love for her work really shows. She went out of her way to meet me at the mall to help my now husband and I pick out different outfits for our engagement session because I had no idea what to wear. Jerusha and Marc met me at our wedding venue a few weeks prior to the wedding to scope out different fabulous places for photos to be taken. Jerusha is FABULOUS! She is an amazing photographer, friend, leader, and coach! I highly recommend Pfanntastic Photography!

We completely lucked out when we found Jerusha for our destination wedding. We were traveling from Iowa and had to make a decision based on the work she had posted on her webpage and she did not disappoint. She was amazing to work with and had oodles of patience dealing with our large crazy family and did it all with a smile on her face. We are still completely in love with our wedding pictures almost five years later. Thanks again Jerusha! We hope to see you again some day! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I wouldn't say there's one particular secret to taking a great photograph. It takes knowledge of your equipment, an understanding of light, and how to manipulate light. Also, we take time preparing for each session/event by scoping out locations, helping to style our clients, and planning out each spot we are going to shoot at. Photography is easy... Professional photography takes lots of work.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
It depends on the type of session really... For senior portraits I try to find out what makes them who they are in this moment of their lives. Find out what passions they have, and who they want to become.
For any type of couple session, I want to know what makes them so perfect for each other, and what they want to convey about their relationship through the session. For almost everyone I always ask what their favorite, and least favorite features of themselves are. We focus on playing up each person's strengths, and play down what they see as a flaw.
What do you love most about your job?
I like the relationships I have with each of my clients. So many have become great friends of mine. I love when I turn over a gallery, and the response each time is priceless! I love blowing my clients away!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was tired of working for people that didn't truly appreciate my hard work. I knew I had a talent and ability that I couldn't fully focus on while working a full-time job. I wanted to start something unique, and bring a service to my clients that was unparalleled.
Why should our clients choose you?
I mean, why not?!? LOL
Seriously though. If you want someone that cares about your memories as much you do. A photographer that doesn't leave you high and dry when it comes to what to wear for your session, and will even go as far as to go shopping with you if you're unsure of what to wear. Someone that sets up a detailed timeline for your wedding day. And last but not least, posts a massive preview on social media 24-48 hours following your event. Look no further... You just found your photographer!
