Family Testimonials

I have had several photo sessions with  Robin and she is fun to work with! She communicates effectively to get us to look our best and uses creativity to capture those perfect photographic moments. Thank you, Robin!

My family enjoyed our time with Robin! She was so easy to work with and she has a great eye! We never felt stressed or artificially posed.  She’s also a perfectionist in her treatment of the final product.  We really appreciated that when we saw the photos!  The kids also felt instantly comfortable and said they had a fun time being silly!

I have tears streaming down my face — thank you!

The slideshows are fantastic. I love the thought you put in to everything!

It was an absolute joy having Robin take lifestyle photos of our family! She came incredibly prepared, and her talent was clearly seen during the session. She made us comfortable and allowed us to just be ourselves while she captured the sweetest moments. Robin also had some great tricks up her sleeve to get our kids to cooperate! We love the pictures we received from Robin and we highly recommend her!

Ruby M.

“I can’t believe how much he already changed!” Those were my first words after I received the photos that were taken just a few days before at our Fresh 48 session in the hospital.
This was our third sweet baby and I hadn’t considered a newborn session prior to this. I changed my mind when I realized how little I remembered and how few pictures I had of the time in the hospital with our other children.
We had done a family lifestyle session with Robin about a year ago, so I knew that if I was going to do a Fresh 48 session and allow someone in to a very vulnerable time for me personally and for our family, it was going to be her. The style of her photography is very natural, and this allowed the space for me to be comfortable in the hospital room without worrying about hair and makeup 36 hours after delivering my son.
She also had a way of capturing the personality of my family in a way that will help me remember how they experienced this first meeting of the newest addition.  There was no pressure on time or expectations of my kids to “smile” or get the right shot- Robin put herself in a position to capture all kinds of unique and special moments I wasn’t even aware of during the session.
I had some difficulty leading up to the session with putting aside my insecurities of a postpartum body. This completely dissipated when I spent time getting photographs with my son prior to the family coming and then when I saw my kids run in to meet him, I knew they saw only the joy of a new brother and that is what I wanted captured.
I truly wish I could have photos like this with all my babies so they could look back and have the moment memorialized of when they became part of our family and we fell in love with them.
I will always cherish these photos and this experience with my family. A huge thank you to Robin for making it everything we dreamed of and more.

School Testimonials

I took a little time to go through some of the photos, and Robin, I am stunned! They are amazing. I mean really beyond adorable, you really do capture their personalities. I can’t tell you how much money I have spent on “portraits” of my kids growing up. I wish I could have just had one portrait of them from you! You have a gift, and I am so glad you are using it!

We loved working with you Robin! The process you use for taking school photographs really captures the children’s personality and almost guarantee a great shot of every student. You also made it super easy for us in the school administration – you have so many details covered that typically could have been missed. We loved having you this Spring and are excited to work with you again in the Fall!

Dear Robin,

I want to put in writing how much FUMC Preschool values your skills and professionalism. It can be so difficult to find a photography solution for small children. Ideally, you need someone who is able to:

-see and capture on film that special moment when a child reveals their uniqueness,

-deliver beautiful, meaningful images to our families,

-ease any worries a child may be feeling about picture day,

-make the administrative tasks as painless as possible by virtue of being ultra-organized and shouldering much of the “to-do list”,

-actually make the whole process positive, even fun!

You are able to do all of these and more. I effusively recommend Robin Sgambati Photography. Just please keep room in your schedule for us because you are the one we choose to trust with our beautiful students and to provide the opportunity for our families to treasure images that will bring pleasure and emotion for lifetimes.

Dear Robin, You photographed my son at [a McLean preschool] recently, and I have to say, the photos of him are GORGEOUS. We don’t often do professional photography, but we really fell in love with those photographs. Just wanted to say we were really delighted by them. Thank you for being able to capture him and so many of his most natural expressions! Thank you!

Good afternoon,I have just purchased my son’s school photos. I haven’t purchased school portraits before as they have always been awkward, posed shots and not something I would be proud to show anyone (never mind paying for).

But the photos you captured of [my son] really are amazing. I can’t get over it. I mean, I always knew he was the cutest kid in the world (well one of the two cutest – he has an equally cute older brother), but now I have photographic evidence!

Thank you! I am beyond impressed with the quality and style of your photos. I had no expectations going into my daughter’s first preschool photos, except maybe a cheesy backdrop. But I love the subtle grey background! Your website for ordering photos is also great. Thank you again. It’s obvious how organized and detail oriented you are, and I very much appreciate it.

Hi Robin –

The photos are wonderful (just like last years) and we love them. Thank you so much! You are really very talented and we appreciate all the extra precautions you had to take this year while still getting beautiful photos of our children.

Thank you so much for the photos. I am so shocked and impressed with the result. I did not have any expectations, because school pictures never turned out great with my boys in the past. But, wow…  Thank you so much. You really captured those moments that I was only able to see with my eyes.

Thank you for taking such beautiful photos of our little guy! I absolutely love your style and the pictures you captured completely enchanted us! Often, school pictures mean those cheesy backdrops, so I was so pleasantly surprised to see such a timeless backdrop & photo!
