Testimonials
“It was so good to see my girl smile, laugh and just have some fun. She was on cloud 9 with excitement, she even talked about how comfortable she was!!” - Monica
“So glad we had Barbara Neely Designs take my daughter’s Senior Pics! Barbara is so fun to work with! She’s a very creative photographer and made my daughter feel at ease. The final product is absolutely amazing and I will treasure it always. I’m already looking forward to more photo sessions with Barbara in the future!”
-Christy, Carley's mom
This was an amazing experience from start to finish. My son still had his braces and she was able to remove them in the picture without it looking awkward. It still looked so natural. You would never know!! We absolutely loved the pictures- every single one of them. The only WARNING I have is that you will listen to some great music while you look at these amazing pictures and that will cause all the memories of the last 18 years to flood in, which will cause your eyes to leak all over. We loved every minute!! I highly recommend Barbara Neely Designs!
Best photos we've ever had taken!! A++++ all the way!! The quality of the final product is unbelievable!! Great photo sessions and very fun!! - Krista
“I wanted the best for my daughter Dally Ty senior pictures... I am in awe of the way Barbara calms their nerves, can talk them through poses...they will come out of their shells, that totally makes them look like they have been modeling for years and years... She captures their personality, their heart, and their souls.
It is the best you could ask for! TIME you can never get back, you will cherish these pictures for the rest of your life! She has captured it ALL!” - Tonia

I would definitely recommend Barb to everyone! Barb gets to know you which helps her create images unique to your style. She is so fun and is never afraid to try something new. I wanted a photographer to capture my personality and Barb did exactly that! She listened to what I liked and based her images around this.

An amazing day and even more amazing photos! Truly pictures of a lifetime, everything was absolutely perfect! Barb exceeded all expectations, from the hair/makeup session with Carol, continuing on to pictures, to preview and design of the images, and ultimately delivery of our photo package, she was amazing to work with!!! I have told her, and anyone who will listen, THERE IS NOT ONE THING! we have reservations about with our experience! Sr portraits only occur 1x in a person’s life, why not get the best?!?!
-Tim, Madison’s dad
Words cannot adequately express how I feel about these images! I knew they would be good, but these go beyond every expectation that I had! I’ve said this before, anyone can take a picture, many have the ability to take good pictures, but it truly takes someone special to do what you have done over & over again!
-Lori, Katie’s mom
SUPER FUN. You made every session so much fun. I never wanted to quit shooting, no matter how hungry I was. I love everything that you did I can’t thank you enough!!
-Hallie
You made it comfortable, fun, and very easy for Avery to be herself. We loved the way you showed us pictures during the shoot so we could see what they were looking like. It was an amazing experience all around!
-Angela, Avery’s mom
Not only has she completely enjoyed this experience, she had gained confidence from it. We are so thankful for you and what you captured in our Sydney. The images show her at her best, but they still look like my Sydney, which was very important to us.
-Angie, Sydney’s mom
I was the kid at school who never got a good picture taken because I always looked just awkward. But these sessions were so much fun and all the awkwardness and fear I had felt completely melted away. I had never felt so comfortable in front of a camera before now, the whole time of my session was full of laughter and fun.
I LOVE MY IMAGES. I couldn’t have wished for anything better because they are so amazing!
-Sydney
Before the first session Mason was extremely nervous and informed me he was only doing this for me. Very soon after the first session started, he looked at me and said this is kinda fun! You made all of us (including Lauren) laugh and feel totally comfortable. We just want you to know how much these photos mean to us. You were so much fun and we look forward to another session in a few years. Thank you Barbara!!!!
-Tracy, Mason’s mom
Top quality!!!! Professional! Barbara caught the inward and outward beauty of Ragan.
-Marty, Ragan’s mom
“An amazing experience through all the sessions with my son. We absolutely loved every single picture. She made a not so thought out prop I made look absolutely fantastic in the image. It turned out to be my favorite picture. Barbara Neely Designs is hands down the best to work with. She will get to know every client so she is able to give family’s the best experience ever. Can’t wait for her to take my daughters senior pictures now.” - Nikki
