I truly cannot say enough good things about Sasha. She is so unbelievably talented and makes it…read morelook so effortless. She brings such an amazing energy to every shoot and makes you feel right at home. Sasha has seen our family through so many stages of life.

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

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!

Jenny spent time with the bride and groom ahead of time to ensure there was good plan for the shots they wanted of the wedding and reception. On the day of the wedding Jenny did a fabulous job of working through getting all the family shots with such an awesome sense of humor and she got amazing candid shots of wedding party and guests throughout the day. Thank you Jenny - you are awesome!

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 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.
