New Hampshire’s Top Rated Local® Photographers Award Winner: Millyard Studios

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Millyard Studios is a two-time 2019 award winner in New Hampshire!

If you’re looking for a photographer who will tell your story, there’s no better option than Millyard Studios in Manchester.

Millyard Studios has received hundreds of reviews on five verified sites with a perfect average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them an impeccable Rating Score™ of 100.00 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for being ranked among the top five businesses and the number one photographer in all of New Hampshire!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I do not even know where to start! Jodi and her team made my fiancé and I feel extremely comfortable… I do not like taking photos of myself at all, but Jodi and her team took that fear away from me. They became more like family by the end. Getting married was painful at times, because I lost my mother. Jodi captured moments like she was there, and that truly made my wedding day special to me. The Millyard team has been so accommodating and so easy to work with. I would choose Millyard Studios a hundred times over again. I will truly miss working with Jodi (well, until we have kids; then, we’ll be back). Thank you to the whole Millyard family for making our dream come true!” – Kelly M.

Not Your Average Photography Studio

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Jodi Ramos, the owner of Millyard Studios.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Millyard Studios a one-of-a-kind photography studio in New Hampshire. Here’s what Jodi had to say:

“One of the reasons why people would choose us over other photographers is how much we care about our clients and their photo experience. At the end of the day, our job is to help our clients and to guide them through all aspects of our photography.”

She added:

“For example, with weddings, we’ll help them figure out what timeline we should go by, how to have a stress-free wedding and some dos and don’ts. On the day of, it’s our goal to keep people on track and make sure that we’re doing our jobs thoroughly. For our other sessions. We go through what to expect in the session. If we’re photographing a baby, we go over what to wear. We’re a full-service studio, and we’re trying to keep our clients educated about the best photos and the best photo experience.”

We also asked Jodi what their mission is at Millyard Studios and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“Our Millyard mission is to be there to document people’s lives. We want to tell our clients’ stories through our photography. One of the things I really enjoy is following our clients throughout their lives. We will do their engagement photos, and then photograph their wedding. Then years later, they come back for maternity photos, first birthday photos and family photos. We’re building our own community here of clients who just keep coming back and telling their friends.”

Building Success by Asking for Reviews

Jodi attributes Millyard Studios’ strong online reputation to their commitment to following up via email after an event or session to ask the customer for a review.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Millyard Studios has gotten their name out there by asking their clients to recommend them to their friends:

“When we send our clients thank you notes, we ask for referrals directly. We’ll ask our clients to recommend us to their friends. If somebody recommends us to somebody, they get an in-studio credit that they can use for future photo shoots, and their friend gets a credit as well.”

Jodi went on to add:

“I’m always just trying new things. We try to post content on different social media platforms.”

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Millyard Studios has. When we asked Jodi what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“Just keep plugging away…”


Congratulations to the team at Millyard Studios for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jodi, for taking the time to speak with us!
