WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“The Canadian Centre for Fisheries Innovation (CCFI) had the pleasure of working with Feisty Puffin services to cover Seafood Industry Innovation Summit 20023 (SIIS2023) in St. John’s NL.

“NAIA hired Melanie at Feisty Puffin to cover the 2022 AAC/WAS Conference and Trade Show, the largest seafood-related event of its kind in Canadian history, and she delivered top quality, professional photography work and stunning graphics ahead of deadline. She was a pleasure to work with, and her passion for the work and our event was obvious. The event won a Destination St. John’s award thanks in part to her photos and presentation. NAIA will hire again, at every available opportunity.”

Melanie captured our wedding and absolutely nailed it. From the first contact to final delivery of photos, it was all so easy and effortless on our part, but so amazing with the end product! Getting to know a little about us, what we pictured for our day, and how little we knew what we wanted to do, she helped guide us through it, figure out some great spots, and put together an itinerary for the day. When the wedding day came, she really blew us away! She knew just what to do to capture the essence of the day, and knew how to make everyone comfortable. We were nervous having a stranger photograph two very awkward people on such an intimate day, but Melanie made our nerves go away, we were so comfortable, so happy and so lucky to have her with us. The photos started flowing only a couple days after our wedding, with some sneak peeks here and there, and just a couple weeks after, we had our full gallery, and they turned out absolutely breathtaking. We loved going through picture after picture, seeing everyone's genuine smiles, and remembering all the moments she captured. Our photos weren't just pictures, they were snapshots of the memories we were making, and the genuine happiness felt throughout the entire day. She was so reassuring and accommodating throughout the day, taking us through each thing, making sure we captured every shot we could imagine, and didn't hesitate to make suggestions that really made our photos so much better. If we ever do another thing we want captured and truly memorialized, we wouldn't hesitate to get the Feisty Puffin again!

"This is the first time my little family and I had professional pictures done. I'm truly stunned by the result. You've captured us so well, I cannot pick a favourite photograph. I'm sure we'll be contacting you in the future for other sessions. And I'll be recommending you to my friends! Thanks once again for your patience and talent!"

"Melanie's the best photographer I've ever dealt with. She is kind and patient, I have kids, and she helped us take the best pictures. The most important thing for me was that she waited on me and didn't rush. It surprised me when I saw the gallery because I didn't think it was going to be that good. She's awesome and I can't recommend her enough to capture your special moments"

"Feisty Puffin did Easter photos for my two kids and my oldest was a nightmare during the shoot. Melanie made the best of it however and was also great with our youngest as well! Such a sweet and kind woman to work with! Can’t wait to see our photos and how they turned out! But even without seeing them, from her professionalism and kindness I would 100% recommend!

"We reached out to Melanie when her Feisty Puffin Designs Facebook page fell in my lap. Melanie was very personable and just kept up with our two kids, six and nine, who let me tell you are busy and have multiple photo ideas. The children said once our photo shoot was complete, “We have to get Melanie again, she was super nice!” We only get photos done once per year, and I am blown away with the quality and amount of photos she took of our family!

“I had a vision in my head put I couldn’t put it into words. I knew what I wanted my logo to feel like and what I wanted it to represent but I had no idea where to start. Melanie and I had a great conversation about my goals and vision for my business and the end result was more than I could have envisioned. Her intuitive nature tapped into exactly the image I wanted to represent my services. I’m so grateful for her expertise and creativity. Thanks so much for my inspiring logo!”
