Five years ago, I had the pleasure of having Oxana capture my maternity photos, and coming back all…read morethese years later as a family of FIVE for our family portraits was such a full-circle moment! Oxana is truly the sweetest, most talented photographer. She has such a warm and welcoming presence and makes the entire experience feel effortless. Taking family photos with three kids can be a challenge, but having the session in her beautiful studio was absolutely perfect. The controlled setting made everything so much easier and more comfortable, especially with little ones. No worrying about the weather, lighting, or distractions, just a relaxed environment where we could focus on making memories. From beginning to end, the entire experience was seamless. Oxana has an incredible way of making everyone feel comfortable while capturing the most beautiful, natural moments. She is patient, kind, and so wonderful with children. It means so much to have someone who photographed such a special chapter of our lives now capture our family as it has grown. I couldn't recommend Oxana enough, especially to families looking for a beautiful, stress-free photography experience. We will treasure these memories forever!

My husband and I booked Heather for what was supposed to be an August 2020 wedding. Well, yadda…read moreyadda yadda, things didn't quite go to plan. Heather was so beyond flexible and accommodating with us as our date changed and changed again, and hung on with us until 2022 when we finally were able to have our special day on April 9th. Just to reiterate, we booked her in SUMMER OF 2019. That is true dedication. I know many other "COVID brides" who struggled with coordinating date changes with vendors, so I am so thankful that Heather always made it work for us and kept a positive attitude about everything. As far as her actual work, Heather made us feel so comfortable both during our engagement shoot and the wedding (we are shy, nerdy people who are not comfortable in front of a camera). She is friendly, very easy to talk to, and guided us perfectly as we awkwardly walked while holding hands, stared into each others' eyes and attempted to hug like human beings. She kept family photos moving along, got all the shots we needed, and had a great vision for the whole day. The photos so exceeded my expectations, and I was over the moon when I saw the final album. Thank you Heather for sticking with us and documenting the most fun and special day.

I know there are so many options for photographers but I would look no further, Heather is the best, you will not be disappointed!

Our photos are absolutely stunning and deeply meaningful to our family. Melanie captured both the natural beauty of the garden and the joy of our time together.

Initially, meeting Daria, her pics and video and even she came off supper profesional…read more The pics on Yelp, website and magazine, they definitely wow you. Does she provide a great price and does she offer flexibility, yes ,she does. You have to wonder though, what are you, the bride and groom actually giving up for this bargain that is being offered. Honestly, you don't know until AFTER your wedding. You look at the contract and the agreed upon time line comes and goes and yet you are still waiting for the long awaited video and wedding pics, but have not heard from Daria. You finally do, and her response is, "I am busy with other weddings". Perhaps like me, you will think, " Well, I paid based on the timeline that Daria provided. Why can't she do provide the pics and video on the agreed upon timeline?" Then you receive the pics. Months after the agreed upon time line. - Beautiful? Yes. - Badly edited? Yes YOU have to crop out the TV in the background or crop out someone's foot. But, hey, wasn't that Daria's job? That's what you give up for her bargain price. Editing and how long you wait to actually get what you paid for. Also, if you want specific pics like parents, family, etc. make sure to tell her, as I had like 3 pics with mom. Honestly, I was not going to leave a review until just today, almost 1 1/2 years after my wedding. I referred Daria to someone. Due to COVID, her wedding was delayed. Apparently, Daria has now moved out of CA and is REFUSING to refund the deposit. Such bad business ethics! Daria lost NO work to having booked this wedding (other than COVID which EVERYONE has). Now she moves somewhere where she CANNOT do the work that she CONTRACTED for and has DECLINED to refund any money. It is one thing had the bride and groom not rescheduled the wedding & kept Daria as the photographer. It is another thing for Daria to move out of state, REFUSE to refund the money and NOT comply with her portion of the contract. BEWARE OF THIS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED PHOTOGRAPHER !!!!
