March 6, 2024Christmas House Party
We used Bird's Eye Photography for our christmas house party. Jaye was FABULOUS!!! She fit in like a family member on day of the event capturing such beautiful moments for us.
She also did family photos for us a total of 10 different families represented that night.
Very, very pleased and would highly recommend her to everyone.

June 1, 2017Couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
We booked Ms. Tolbert through GigSalad for our wedding ceremony and reception, and we could not have been more pleased! She was responsive and professional leading up to and during the event. Her friendly presence was enjoyed by all, and when we got the pictures, we were blown away! She did an excellent job of capturing the characters of everyone at our events in both posed and candid shots. When I went to a bridal expo last year, a $5000 photographer laughed at my budget, but joke's on her because Bird's Eye Photography exceeded our (already high) expectations on less than I had set aside for the budget!
