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!

I have done 2 maternity shoots with her and came back a third time for a family shoot with 3 kids 5 and under!

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

A friend of mine recommended Briana & Monica as she had used them for family photos multiple times in the past. I emailed back and forth with Briana and even though it was already late October with holiday card season in full swing she was able to book us for a weekday appointment just a couple of weeks later. Briana was prompt at our meeting location and was absolutely fantastic with our three year old. She captured him, our family and my very pregnant self beautifully! After the shoot Briana was very timely in her communication and we were easily able to get what we needed for our holiday cards with time to spare! This experience was truly five stars and I hope to have her capture or family again next year now that we are a family of four!

Since then, we have hired her for Christmas photos, "just because the kids are getting older and we want to remember this stage" photos, and another round of newborn photos with the birth of our fourth child. Every session with her has been a dream and the photos that she captures are stunning. They are now framed and hanging in our home and bring me such joy to see every day. If you want beautiful family photos and the experience to be fun and enjoyable, look no further!!
