BK Rose is undeniably the best in the business. We hired Kat and Brett for both our engagement and…read morewedding photos, and we had an amazing experience every step of the way. Kat immediately made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely ourselves during our engagement shoot. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, especially when it came to all the little things I told her I wanted -- like my very specific request for our photos to feel grand and epic, but also romantic lol. She was always available by text or phone whenever we had questions or concerns. Weeks after our engagement shoot, I noticed something off about my dress, and she had edited photos back to me within hours to help solve the issue. Kat has such a vibrant energy about her that makes the photoshoots so fun! And that's before even getting to her incredible photography skills. She knows all the hidden gems around the city, how to navigate crowded locations to get THE shot, and how to capture a wide variety of moments while maintaining incredible quality. The photos truly speak for themselves. Kat and Brett together are an incredible duo. They seem to instinctively know what shot the other is trying to get, and it was cool to watch them flow together so seamlessly. I think that definitely contributes to their fantastic work. I'm not even sure what our next big event will be, but whatever it is, we're already looking forward to having a reason to hire Kat and Brett again!

She had some beautiful options but I ended up going with a dress of my own. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! We received our pictures within 2 days of our photoshoot and they are nothing short of incredible. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and stunning they look. I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!

Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

Lauren promptly answered any questions we had- even taking the extra measures to check in with us on the days leading up to what was a rescheduled photo shoot due to weather.

She also sent out our gallery the very next day! Awesome!! The photo session itself was unlike any other experience we've had with a photographer. Somehow, she managed to coax genuine smiles and giggles from us which led to super quality shots. Will definitely book Honeybrown again!!

In addition, they had such amazing communication, showed the highest level of professionalism and were always on time if not before.

Nicole is FABULOUS!!!!…read more A friend of a friend recommended her to me after I lamented about how poorly my newborn pictures had turned out (done by a different photographer.) I immediately contacted Nicole to schedule a 6 month photo shoot at her in-home studio. First - she's AMAZING working with the babies and was really able to capture my son's personality. Second - her in-home studio is beautiful and packed with props, costumes, etc. You literally just need to show up with your child - she will provide all the rest! Third - Nicole is super friendly and easy to work with. We loved her so much that we booked our family session (outside, in the fall) with her and she captured some amazing shots of the fall colors. And, we'll be using her for all of our future photography needs. LOVE Nicole!!
