She can coax great shots from the children who would rather not get their picture taken. She finds moments amid the chaos of a family shoot that resonate. You will not be disappointed by choosing Sandra Coan for capturing a few moments of your life.

Whether its celebrating the bump, baby or family, Sandra captures black and white with sharp…read moreperfection and knows how to work light, shadows, etc. I am not photogenic and my worst self critic in photos, but I was inspired to go with Sandra to document my 32 week bump because she truly gets what the beauty of this moment in time is for women and for ther partners. The photo session is around a hour and her prices/packages are very reasonable for what you get and have rights to, which is very important in a Facebook world and for future keep savers like the coffee table book. While I am not at all modest, the time she took with my husband and I posing and holding our bump together was even more special than the picture it produced - it was like we took a very quiet, undistracted and initimate moment to be close and know what we created together. I hope everyone gets to have that same experience, it's worth it.

Sophia/Blush Boudoir is amazing amazing amazing!…read more From start to finish Sophia made me feel very comfortable despite doing very uncomfortable poses. She had snacks to keep yout energy up and she was not uncomfortable helping you out to put those tricky garters on. When time came to start, she gave very good directions and quite a fee laughters were shared along the way. The best part was, I couldn't wait to see the proofs! Sophia was so fun! She also had connections to amazing make up artists. So you can feel super beautiful inside and out! Another reason I would recommend Sophia/Blush Boudoir is that her place is gorgeous with the most amazing lighting. Also, very reasonable pricing for a Boudoir shoot. I am happy to know that she will also start doing maternity shoots. I will definitely remember to call Sophia again when that time comes. I encourage everyone to do a boudoir shoot and I absolutely recommend Sophia/Blush Boudoir for an awesome session!

We got our pictures a few weeks later and I was absolutely astonished by the "Story of us". What was absolutely impossible to do is to pick our favorites, because almost every single frame was our favorite. We met her in a park, and I had a hard time to relax an be natural. Luckily Nadezda was a very soft and gentle with us. She was patient and accommodating and eventually, we felt very comfortable and natural. I will recommend her to anyone who's looking for a warm and natural photo session, to anyone who wants to see/show their soul through amazing photos of Nadezda.

Heather was great to work with and very personable. She really took the time to understand my…read morewants and outcomes for the photo shoot; even asked about my boys' personalities and interests to help relate to them. She had no problem rescheduling our original shoot due to the unseasonably cold spring we had. My boys instantly warmed up to her. The youngest can be very shy with adults but he had no problem showing off his big smiles for her. She did pay attention to detail that some photographers miss: making sure shirt collars were straight and even suggesting some wardrobe changes. The pictures came out looking fresh and natural. I couldn't be happier. On a personal note... I was in a terrible situation with another photographer and I found myself contacting other photographers to get a second opinion. While many did not get back to me, she took the time to listen to what I had to say and gave me sound advice.

She kept me and my husband on track with the schedule and fitting in all the requests we had after we forget them all with wedding brain. Emily was fun, gracious and easy going through both events.

Jean Kercheval provided a wonderful service as our maternity and newborn photographer. Prior to the…read morematernity shoot we discussed what my hopes were for the photos. Jean asked meaningful questions and listened carefully to my wishes. With that knowledge she put together the perfect elements for the shoot including a beautiful dress, the woods and river site, and the overall vibe. I felt so comfortable during the photoshoot and was appreciative of Jean's guidance with poses and prompts to help elicit expressions. My husband joined for some of the photos and we both had so much fun during the process. Jean made me feel beautiful as a very pregnant woman and I believe that confidence shows in the photos. We were so happy with the pictures. After our daughter was born, Jean took photos of various groupings of the three of us. Again the shoot felt relaxed and enjoyable. The maternity and newborn photos are so precious and dear to us. They are truly ones we will cherish forever. Thank you, Jean!!

Once you see the quality of Jean's photographs, you will not want anyone else taking your photo!…read moreShe took many lovely group portraits of our family as our children were growing up and when out of town family members were visiting. These captured memories are among our most treasured. She also photographed our daughter's Sweet 16 Birthday Party and took her senior portrait for the high school yearbook. She took a series of head shots for our son that he used to get hired as an actor in film and television, and she took the photo that was used for the front cover of the first book I published. She also took the author photo for the back covers of my books. Many people do not like photos of themselves, but Jean has a knack for bringing out her subjects' very best and providing photos that even the most self-critical customers will find appealing! This is a true art and skill, and I highly recommend Jean for all of your photography needs. In addition to portraits, she also photographs beautiful artistic scenes from nature, and I'm very happy to have one of her lovely pieces hanging above my desk in my home office.

I worked with Nicole 2 years ago! I just realized I had a yelp account! We did office pictures and…read morehead shots and it was not only really fun but her turn around time getting the pictures were fast and easy. The entire process and the touch ups took less than two weeks. Signing up and getting her to come in to the office was a breeze. Very affordable and I will be using her again this year. My entire team loved working with Nicole and had a blast too. Taking headshots can feel lIke you're in line to take elementary school pictures, but Nicole went above and beyond to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Haha, some of the even more high maintenance of individuals I work with.... haha... were so thrilled they even used the pictures for their dating profiles. I think she also does headshots for that too lol! Thanks Nicole you're the best!

I was referred to Nicole by a colleague because I was in need of a head shot. I contacted her on…read morethe phone and she was very friendly. We decided to meet a couple days later at the Olympic Sculpture Park (weather permitting). If the weather was not so great we were going to meet at her studio in West Seattle. The weather turned out to be great so we met at the Sculpture Park. She made the session very fun and relaxing. It was easy to smile for her. I generally do not like to have my picture taken at all, or rather, do not enjoy looking at pictures of myself. That is why I was so pleasantly surprised when she sent me the link of the photos from the session, which she sent the same day as the session. She had taken lots of great pictures! I got to pick which ones to keep and she retouched them and sent the final link to me (as well as the invoice) via e mail. I will definitely be using her again for any future photography needs I may have, and would highly recommend her to others. The whole process was so easy from scheduling the session to receiving the link for the photos and paying. The price is very reasonable as well!
