From our first meeting at the wedding show until she said goodbye on our wedding day she was fantastic.

She makes the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable, never forced or stressful. Some of my favorite photos are the bonus pics she catches: our girls running together, holding hands, laughing at each other, or just being their silly little selves. She has such a great way of letting them be kids while still capturing really beautiful, genuine photos of our family. We always walk away from our sessions with Taira so happy we did them!

He was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him.

Her style is elegant, clean, and airy and, while she's so happy to execute specific photos and shots one your wish lists, she's also excellent at allowing you to move throughout the day freely and capture the small, lovely moments in between. We had a 150-person wedding at the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is a large, spread-out venue, and Janelle and her team were always where we needed them to be, capturing all of the special moments of our day! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for weddings, portraits, and everything in between!

I truly can't say enough good things about working with Janelle. She went above and beyond during…read moreour engagement photo shoot, both in how she cared for us as people and in the quality of the images she delivered. I'm someone who usually ducks and hides the moment I see a camera pointed my way, but her warmth, humor, and gentle direction completely changed that for me. Her energy made me feel confident, at ease, and even beautiful in front of the lens, which is something I never thought I'd say. My fiancé and I had an absolute blast the entire shoot. She made the whole experience feel like a fun date rather than a stiff photo session. She captured our personalities and connection so effortlessly. Every photo feels authentic, joyful, and somehow even more magical than we remember the moment being. Her eye for detail, composition, and light is truly unmatched. You can tell she brings not just technical skill, but heart and artistry to everything she does. The final gallery blew us away. We're having the hardest time choosing favorites because they're all so stunning. If you're looking for someone who's not only wildly talented but also kind, genuine, and an absolute joy to be around, look no further. I cannot recommend Janelle enough.

We couldn't be more pleased with the delivered results.

My fiancé Jenn and I could not have imagined a better experience than working with Sasha. I was…read moreplanning a surprise proposal in Seattle, which as an CA native, I had very little experience of. After a phone call and a few text exchanges, Sasha helped me plan my proposal and also provided wonderful suggestions for the rest of our stay. Fast forward 2 months and the weather reports changed, I had to change the date a few days early, had to change the location; everything seemed to be deviating from the original schedule. Throughout all of the madness, Sasha stayed very active in offering solutions and doing everything she could to still make this the day of our dreams. Fortunately, with her help, we had a winter wonderland proposal, amazing photos to remember the moment, and great memories that were only heightened by the kind soul that Sasha is. Any other major or minor life moment I have that requires photos, Sasha will be the first on my list!

My girlfriend and I had an outstanding time working with her as we had never done a photoshoot before and Sasha made us *feel* like we had been working together for a while! You will not be disappointed with the experience you'll have with her and the final products will simply blow you away!! Thanks again Sasha! - S&M

She did a absolutely amazing job capturing the joy and happiness on our wedding day. She effortlessly wrangled my large extended family, and captured every moment on my exhaustive shot list. She was extremely flexible with us, and communicated every step of the way. She did our engagement and wedding photos and both turned out amazing. We had a blast scampering around downtown rooftops at 6am for our engagement photos. We met over coffee, and by the end of our conversation we were in love--with her! By the end of the engagement photo session were were the best of friends! and if we hadn't just gotten married, I probably would have proposed to her on my wedding day!

We've recommended Keoni to our friends, and they've all had great experiences and beautiful pictures as a result. On a recent trip to Seattle, my wife and I were able to meet up with Keoni again and had him show us the best parts of the city. So cool that he was there to capture those places and eventful moments for us on camera. Wouldn't it be awesome to always travel with your own personal photographer! While in Seattle we were introduced to John at happy hour, great personality and I would imagine easy to work with as well. I wouldn't hesitate to have these guys shoot our next big event.
