She chose perfect locations and we didn't feel rushed or pressured at all. The pictures came out amazingly!

Blue is incredibly talented. We worked with her to get some pictures of our new puppy and from…read morestart to finish she was a pleasure to work with. From the beginning, she asked thoughtful questions to understand what we were hoping for, gave suggestions on potential locations, and explained how everything would work while checking in along the way to make sure how we'd work together worked for us. On the morning of the shoot (we picked a sunrise option down by the water in the city) she took a wide variety of shots and she is amazing with dogs- she was patient with our new puppy, knew how to capture his attention, and we walked around to different spots that allowed for greater variety of backdrops and lighting as the sun came up. Once the photos were ready she did a fantastic job walking us through the options and came prepared with real materials (frames, photo album covers, samples) that really helped us envision what the final products might look like. When our selections were ready, she brought them beautifully packaged- it was like opening a series of gifts! Blue herself is an absolute pleasure to work with- she knows her stuff, is super responsive, and has fantastic ideas. The way she runs her business makes it easy to understand each step of the process, and she uses tech in a way that is easy to engage (e.g. upfront intake form, selection tool for photos, etc.) paired with high-touch service. We really enjoyed working with Blue and hope to do future shoots as our pup grows up. Thank you Blue- we love the photos and working with you!

Lauren is simply spectacular at what she does and her confidence shows through in her work. I loved…read moreseeing the photo examples she put up on her website of past clients which gives a great overview of what to expect. While I'm not sure if Lauren focuses on just animals or life events like weddings also, this review is just about her pet photography. We began emailing each other to set up a shoot with our six month old puppy before he gets older and can no longer capture his youthfulness. My wife and I talked about locations we were interested in, one of us wanted water shots and the other in the grass. It was Lauren who suggested we go to the beach where we could get both types so that is what we did. After a little back and forth with some scheduling conflicts on both ends, we decided on a weekend which likely works well for most clients. We received a list of do's and don'ts before the shoot that was super helpful. Items I had never thought of like bringing his favorite toy as a distraction to getting to the site early and running off a bit of energy so it'll be easier for the dog to settle down and take photos of. Upon arrival, we met in the parking lot of our agreed upon location and headed out on a cold evening around sunset. We had been there for about a half hour beforehand to do what she suggested and it worked wonders on settling our pup down. While it was tough to get him to look at Lauren at times, she had along her own bag of tricks including toys and a whistle so he would pay attention to her and not his owners. We tried all sorts of different locations and poses of him and it worked like a charm, even if I had to jump in and entice the dog with a treat. I've seen some previews and I'm very happy with the session, we are moving to a planning phase of buying some canvases and prints to put all around our home with an in-person meeting scheduled to review the proofs. Lauren uses another local studio to get the prints from. I highly recommend her for a very particular type of photography and if you need any excuse to look at some adorable animals to picture what your dog (or cat? or hedgehog? or billy goat?) may look like in high quality shots, simply check out what she has up on her website.

It felt like hanging out and playing dress-up with a best friend! She sent me samples of some poses we might want to try ahead of time which was incredibly helpful. She kept me laughing throughout the shoot which made for some unexpectedly wonderful photos, answered all of my questions, and was generally a joy to work with. On top of that, I'm SO blown away by the photos. I love them! I cannot wait to work with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone for either a wedding, professional, family, or boudoir shoot ANY day!

Chris is a phenomenal artist. The images he captures are just stunning, from landscapes to…read morevegetables to pets. Since art is subjective I am reviewing more Chris and his service than the art: My wife and I had been walking by Chris's gallery for years and loved a piece called Morning Fog but never pulled the trigger on it. After closing on a place in Kennebunkport I knew it would be the perfect closing gift for the house and I went to Chris to discuss it. I was overwhelmed with the options and sizes available but Chris walked me through the whole process and placed the order. When the picture arrived he scheduled a time to come by the house and he installed it for us (it is quite large) for no additional fee. The service was just beyond anything I could have expected. I also just found out that he and his wife do wedding photography too. Since I'm already married I can't review that service but I can only imagine the amazing pictures he would come up with for a wedding. I would definitely hire him for any event I have in the future! I will also be purchasing more pieces from his gallery, I wish I had more wall space!

I will absolutely be using KT's again for our petsitting needs and would not hesitate to reach out to them for other services as well.
