If you are considering a maternity or newborn photo session, you are in the right place. We chose…read morethe maternity / newborn package and were glad we did. Julia was flexible and understanding and booked us sooner when I discovered I had to do a scheduled emergency c section and had no time to book way out. From the moment I stepped into her studio, I knew this would be a special session. Julia's demeanor was calming and reassuring. She made me feel at ease, allowing me to embrace my changing body without hesitation. Her encouragement and understanding created a safe space where vulnerability blossomed into art. The resulting images were breathtaking. Julia's use of natural light highlighted the contours of my belly, the way my hands cradled it, and the love shared with my partner. These photos will forever remind me of the miracle growing within. The Newborn photos were exceptional as well. We have timeless memories and images that will forever capture the magic of these fleeting moments.

If you're on the fence about newborn photos, just do it! We are over the moon with how our…read morephotographs turned out. The session was seamless, we just had to worry about getting there and the rest was handled for us entirely. I felt relaxed as our newborn was handled with care and slept for almost the entire session. You can see the years of experience that Julia has come through with her professionalism and ability to capture the moment perfectly. These photographs will be treasured for years to come and can't be happier with having hired Julia Christina Photography! Highly recommend them :)

Shooting with erica was a personal revelation. Committed to technical excellence in her craft, what…read moremakes erica stand out as a photographer is her emotional dexterity. After being a part of multiple group shoots, I watched her rejoice in her subjects' uninhibited sexuality and then walk someone through their body image baggage with equal parts humor and tenderness. Her attentiveness to detail not only in aesthetic but also how the people she works with are feeling (and there are sometimes a lot feelings!) creates images that are unique, intimate and striking. Also, payment plans are a thing! Inclusive, queer focused, class conscious, photography. What a dream !

As someone that places a large emphasis on anniversary shoots as not only a capture of a…read morerelationship but also as who each of the individuals are at that particular moment in time. Shooting with Erica, a thoughtful, intuitive, and talented photographer, was a complete joy. I shot on location, but I'm incredibly jealous of those that are able to shoot in this gorgeous studio!

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!

I had found Sasha while looking for a photographer in the Seattle area and I absolutely loved her style; her editing really feels natural and realistic and it's a true testament to why she's as good as she is! 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

Sandra has been taking photos of our family for as long as I can remember. Not only is she a…read moretalented photographer, but she's also great at managing people. She can coax great shots from the children who would rather not get their picture taken. She finds moments amid the chaos of a family shoot that resonate. You will not be disappointed by choosing Sandra Coan for capturing a few moments of your life.

Whether its celebrating the bump, baby or family, Sandra captures black and white with sharp…read moreperfection and knows how to work light, shadows, etc. I am not photogenic and my worst self critic in photos, but I was inspired to go with Sandra to document my 32 week bump because she truly gets what the beauty of this moment in time is for women and for ther partners. The photo session is around a hour and her prices/packages are very reasonable for what you get and have rights to, which is very important in a Facebook world and for future keep savers like the coffee table book. While I am not at all modest, the time she took with my husband and I posing and holding our bump together was even more special than the picture it produced - it was like we took a very quiet, undistracted and initimate moment to be close and know what we created together. I hope everyone gets to have that same experience, it's worth it.

I got my first-ever professional headshot taken by Sung Park Photography. I'm one of those folks…read morewho doesn't always enjoy how they look in photos but my experience with Sung was fantastic! He's not only a wonderful photographer but he has amazing interpersonal skills and instantly put me at ease. He definitely knows his craft and how to make anyone look their best using his knowledge of angles and lighting. He made sure to ask what I wanted my photos to convey and then gently (and humorously!) coached me so that the photos had the intended impact. I'd recommend him to anyone for pretty much any occasion - he's a true artist and collaborator and you can't go wrong. I'll also mention that I REALLY appreciated Sung's attention to maintaining Covid protocols. My photos were taken prior to the vaccine availability and he gave me a short questionnaire before I entered the studio, kept the patio door propped open for ventilation, had a humidifier on since humid conditions help to prevent Covid spread, and wore a mask for the duration. I also observed him beginning to wipe everything down as I was heading out so I know the next person was welcomed into a clean and sanitary space by someone who not only cares about making you look your best but also cares about keeping you as healthy as possible. Above and beyond. Sung Park is a gem.

Sung is a personal friend, and one of the best photographers I've worked with. He recently did some…read moreprofessional headshots for me, and the entire experience was perfect. He's very professional, yet keeps you comfortable with his interesting humor. He has a very natural eye for lighting, angles, and locations. Additionally, I have followed him on Instagram for quite a while, and everything he posts, whether it's candids of friends, yoga photography, headshots, or city shots, it's all quite incredible. Highly recommended!

She prepped our teen well- having her review other images and consider what appealed to her- thus finding exactly the right place for their shoot. She asked her to bring 5 different outfits that were reflective of her. During the shoot, my daughter felt comfortable and enjoyed the process which got images that reflected her moods, her body language, the ways in which she moves in the world. We were thrilled with the photos!!! Linda truly captured our daughter on film. Linda throughout the process kept us updated on what came next and assisted us through selecting images thoughtfully (which was hard with so many great ones to select from).

It was a pleasure meeting and discussing concepts with Kyle prior to the big day. He has an artistic eye that translates well in his photos and his unique vision is refreshing amongst the stale usual wedding photographers out there. We were married at Novelty-Hill Januik winery which offered many backdrops which Kyle utilized to the max! He went above and beyond to capture each moment and was stealth like during the ceremony and reception. The crisp photographs are stunning and I am still brought to happy tears upon viewing. Our entire family was pleased with the result and confident we made the right choice with Kyle. A++ Also his turn around time was fantastic and his personal touches created such a special memory book for us. Priceless! Highly recommend.

All I can say is WOW. Amber and Michael are angels sent from photography heaven! My now-husband and…read moreI agree that hiring them to take our wedding photos was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. My husband was referred to Amber when he was looking to have some head shots taken (he's a musician). One of the images she captured of him ended up being the cover of one of his albums! I was so impressed with the photos she took that I was all in when we got engaged and my husband mentioned that Amber and her husband also shoot weddings. Thankfully the stars aligned and they were available to shoot our small wedding ceremony in Discovery Park! Working with Amber and Michael day of the ceremony was a dream. They are two of the most kind, positive, and charming people I have met and their presence really made the day even more special. They were so easy and fun to work with! They appreciated all the little sentimental details we had planned and got photos of absolutely everything. From our rings to my husband's suspenders, from posed photos to candid photos of us and our families. I especially loved all of their creative ideas for our couple portraits. They coached us through poses and angles that I would never have thought of in a million years and the finished product was INCREDIBLE. We had some ideas of what we wanted for our photos but we trusted Amber and Michael's vision 100% and really wanted them to bring their own creativity and expertise to our photos. Boy did they deliver! Our finished photos came back and my jaw just hit the floor. I'll be honest, I cried. There is such a nice range of different ideas and vision in our finished photos. My absolute favorites are the very abstract, beautifully composed collage photos that are works of art. They remind me of impressionistic paintings and could honestly be hung in an art gallery. TL;DR HIRE THESE TWO. Highly, highly recommend French Sessa Photo!!

Daniel Sheehan is truly an amazing photographer. I have been to many photo sessions in my life,…read morewith the ugly backgrounds and cheesy smiles. I wasn't sure what to expect with a live-action photographer! Our engagement photo shoot was pretty awkward because we both had preconceived ideas of how it was supposed to go. I was expecting more direction, he was just wanting to document US. It was much easier during the wedding because there was so much going on we had no time to think about posing (except for a few mandatory family pics), plus we were happily married and had perma-grins all night. Daniel was able to use his extensive professional experience to deftly capture the best moments of the evening for the nine hours we had him hired for (pre-wedding also). Looking through them now I feel like I am back in the moment reliving the fun and joy. We also asked for all of the RAW photo data as part of our agreement, which he was more than happy to comply with, which is sometimes hard for a photographer to do. http://www.abeautifuldayphotography.com/blog/2014/09/06/jodi-and-eugenes-within-sodo-wedding-photos/

In a nuthsell: Many of our friends and colleagues who weren't at the wedding said that after seeing…read morethe photos, they felt like they WERE there. Daniel was exactly what we were looking for: a professional, courteous, friendly (and award-winning!) photojournalist who could capture our special day in his own way -- sidelong glances, reactions to speeches, unique angles and frames -- without the conventional posing and other wedding day cliches. Very highly recommended.
