I met w/ Steven Bahner the owner of Sweet Action Photography for our daughters wedding 1 month…read moreprior to the event. I was very clear on the date and time (I even have it in writing), and they showed up very late (missing so many important events). Additionally, the photos came out very bad. Many were blurry, many were cut off, and the angles just seemed amateurish at best. This whole experience was a nightmare, and this is just something that we can never get back. How often does your daughter get married? I would NOT recommend this company to anyone ever. We paid thousands for a few okay photos (none looked as good as the ones on his website). I will never use them again, and would likely look for referrals elsewhere. The reviews I saw for this company online seemed to be made up by the owner though, so it is tough to tell anymore. Buyer beware.

Loren spent the day with our families capturing the entire buildup of the wedding. He even came to the sites in advance to give us some feedback as we choose the outdoor ceremony location. Not to put to much pressure on him for future weddings, but we got our album and CDs a week or so after the wedding! That was such a treat and avoided the dreaded task of sorting & printing.

A couple years ago my dear friend, Cherie, started her own photography business. I know, I know-…read morelots of people who own a fancy camera start a "photography" business- but Dashing Life is the real deal! At first, I didn't think I would be able to utilize Cherie's talent- she started off specializing in family/children - I didn't really have either. But what I did have was a wedding! DLP had not yet branched into the wild and crazy world of wedding photography, but considering Cherie was on the guest list I didn't hesitate to say yes when she asked is she could shoot pics at the wedding to start a portfolio! Now, I did already have a wedding photographer- so in the end I lucked out and had two great shooters at the wedding! While I love the work of the photographer I hired, I have to say, my favorite pics were taken by Cherie with DLP! I had a very laid back, back yard wedding with close friends and family. My husband and I wanted to spend minimal time shooting formal pics and were looking for more candids than anything. Cherie totally delivered! I have never felt some beautiful in all my life and Cherie totally captured that!! If you are looking to have a blast at your photo shoot, whether it be portraits or a formal event, Cherie is your gal! She lives life to the fullest, is always prepared, and wants you to have the best time ever!! I follow Dashing Life Photography on a daily basis - and on a daily basis my day is made brighter by all the wonderful pictures! I look forward to utilizing DLP in the future for all my photography needs!!

I had always used in store photography, but no more! Cherie will be my families photographer as long as she lives here! I couldn't imagine ever using another photographer! Her prices can't be beat for the amount of time she spends with you, the work she goes through prepping the amount of pictures she gives you and then to top it off she gives you a CD of your very own to duplicate as you please!! Only had I known she was doing weddings when I married my husband because I can only imagine what she could of done with my wedding photos!! If you are looking for a photographer in the Anchorage area, then look no further as this is the best one around!!

Earlier…read morethis year I was scrambling to find someone to do our engagement photos given my fiancé was leaving for work for a few months and just got engaged. Amanda made time for me in her busy schedule to do so. Normally I'm an anxious girly but she made me feel so comfortable and had so many photos from our engagement photos to pick from! Like I mean a work of ART! I can't say it enough she's super worth it! She's easy to work with! She makes me feel super comfortable and confident even though I'm always anxious lol. Since I booked her as my wedding photographer, she met up with me to go over the important moments and things I wanted captured for our upcoming wedding. Let me tell you she was super insightful and really listened to me and what I wanted. If you're booking with a photographer hands down she's perfect! 10/10 would recommend.

Karen was very easy to work with, and is an excellent photographer. You could contact her via email…read moreor phone and she answers promptly. Her pricing and packages are straight forward, and you understand exactly what you are paying for. I liked that her packages included the digital images and the right release. I was specifically looking for a photographer who provided this service. Many of them want you to purchase prints directly through their studio rather than releasing the images to you which in this day in age I don't really understand since most people want to have the digital rights. Her website has ample samples of her work for you to browse when making your decision, and she answered all of my questions in a professional manner. We booked her for a newborn shoot which we scheduled for day 5 of our son's life. I was nervous about the timing due to having a csection, but Karen assured me if we had to move the shoot to a different day due to my recovery to just let her know so that took some of the pressure off of me. She is a very accommodating person. She does in studio and outdoor photography. We used her in studio services. Her studio is located in her home in Eagle River. She has a very nice dedicated space in her home to her business. There is a comfortable area for her clients to lounge, and her actual studio is in a separate room with a door to make it private. She had amenities such as water, coffee and extra diapers which I thought was a really nice touch. Her studio was very nicely decorated and clean! For the photos she has many different props, back drops, outfits, and swaddles to choose from. She asks what your preferences are for the photos, and offers great suggestions as to what goes well together. She has a standard format of poses that she uses when working with newborns, but is willing to work with you on what you want including if you want to bring your own props in for photos. Karen was excellent working with our newborn. You have to be a really special person to work with babies and little kids, and Karen is great with this special clientele. She is soothing, patient and gentle. She is able to get the babies positioned just right, and makes sure to be very safe with her posing. For newborn shoots she doesn't put a time limit on the length so that as parents you don't feel pressured. We spent about 2.5 hours with her, and I was able to feed our baby twice to get him nice and calm for the photos. She was friendly, personable, and my husband and I enjoyed conversing with her. Our proofing gallery was available about a week after the photo shoot. From there we choose which photos we wanted to keep. Our package pricing included 15 images, and we purchased additional photos at a flat rate per image. After the images were chosen Karen edited the photos, and sent the final images about 2.5 weeks out from when we selected the proofs. She included final edits in color and B&W which I was not expecting but very happy about. She also offers a sneak peek option at your discretion on her social media that she posts within 72 hours of the shoot. I am very pleased with all of our images, and am excited to share them! I would highly recommend Karen for your photography needs. She is professional, friendly and accommodating. She is a great photographer who does excellent work. For family photography she also works extremely well with children!
