We had a lot of fun doing an in-home newborn session and it felt super comfortable from the very start. She worked easily around spit-ups and outfit changes (for baby and mom) and worked well with our dogs, too.

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

We worked with Kiran for both our maternity and newborn photoshoot sessions…read more And we couldn't be happier! Kiran is absolutely fantastic at her job. She has a great collection of outfits for mom to choose from! We did a fall maternity Photoshoot and the final edited pictures were stunning. For the newborn photoshoot too, Kiran had so many amazing props and beautiful newborn outfits/ swaddles to choose from. She was also an absolute pro at handling our newborn baby with such ease that the entire photoshoot was a breeze. We received a lot of compliments for all of the maternity, newborn and family photos she clicked. I would highly recommend Kiran to capture your special moments!

She didn't just show up with a camera -- she showed up with intention, care, and creativity. She generously offered her own outfits to elevate the look, never once made me feel rushed or pressured about timing, and poured so much thought into every detail. As a podcast host, she even thoughtfully asked me to bring a microphone -- such a small touch, but it made the entire shoot feel authentic and aligned with who I am. What amazed me most is her ability to make the smallest details look stunning. She has an incredible eye for composition and storytelling. Every image feels intentional, polished, and meaningful. She doesn't just take photos -- she creates an experience. Absolutely brilliant at her craft. Do not look anywhere else for photography! she truly amazing

As someone who isn't normally eager to have his picture taken, I was genuinely surprised at how…read moreenjoyable and fun it was to have Shelby oversee my portrait shoot. From our first conversation, Shelby was an excellent communicator - responsive and upbeat. She listened to my vision and made some gentle suggestions of her own (regarding setting, what to wear, time of day, etc.) that absolutely led to higher quality, more interesting photos. During the shoot itself, Shelby was a terrific help with posing (something that doesn't come naturally to me), picked great spots to take advantage of existing light, and was just so easy to interact with in a very natural, unintimidating way. Shelby also delivered the final images earlier than expected, before the agreed-upon deadline. I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed the entire process and would 100% recommend Shelby to anyone thinking about a portrait session for themselves, their families or even their pets. She's a wonderful artist who cares about her clients and her product and is a delight to work with. The pictures she took of me are the best photos of myself I've ever had.

Kathleen recently took both our maternity and newborn photos for the birth of our second daughter…read more She is absolutely wonderful! She was great with our toddler during both sessions (maternity photos were taken outside and a local barn property and newborn photos were taken at our home). She is very talented, friendly, professional and responsive to e-mails/questions, etc. She was also patient and accommodating when I asked to change the newborn session date multiple times because of uncertainty around the timing of our scheduled induction. We are in love with all of the photos she took for us and are amazed by the shots she was able to capture. We know they're photos we will cherish forever. We definitely plan to use Kathleen for our future family photographs. My husband and I highly recommend Kathleen!

We just had our third outdoor family session with Alex in the last three years recently. This time…read morewe had a total of 8 people (my sister's and my families with grandma). As parents, family sessions can sometimes feel stressful especially with a large group, but Alex made the entire process effortless and fun.

He also very patiently full-filled my sister's wishes of have many different poses with her two impatient teenagers who normally reluctant to pose "intimately" with their mother.

We scheduled the photo start time for 2 PM, annd Alex showed up at 12:00PM to begin setting up. My makeup artist told me this is Alex style. Once he finished setting up the video equipment, he went to the site to start capturing the details--shots of my dress, my beautiful high heels, and jewelry. He was so detailed, trying to get different angles of the shots, which I really liked. I spent a lot of money on my dress and accessories, and I definitely wanted to capture them in my book. The ceremony was outside under the stage, and he guided us to the back area, which had more greenery, for our family and wedding party portraits. He was so funny and creative--everyone enjoyed his sense of humor. I believe he has a gift for making people feel comfortable and de-stressed. He even made my 85-year-old grandmother smile, which I hadn't seen in a long, long time. During the ceremony, he captured so many different shots, from wide angles to close-ups. He stayed close to us but kept enough distance so that the guests felt comfortable. I remember at my sister's wedding, her photographer stayed too close to everyone, and it felt awkward. We received over 2,000 proofs to select from and ended up choosing 250 instead of the 200 we planned. Thank you, Alex and your team, for capturing this wonderful lifetime memory for us. We really appreciate your hard work and sense of humor. Whenever I visit my grandma, she still remembers your name. You definitely have a gift and talent for bringing happiness to others. Irene K.
