This review is LONG overdue as our son is now 9 months old, but Caitlin deserves all the love. She…read morewas so amazing to work with and she is magic with a newborn! And she made me feel confident and beautiful for our maternity shoot, which is no small feat when working with a 37-week pregnant lady. Our son probably took his best nap ever during his shoot with her, and she was moving/swaddling/everything else to get the perfect shot. She's so kind, patient, and detail-oriented while keeping things from looking too posed like a lot of family photographers. I cherish the slice-of-life pics we have from our maternity journey and newborn days and recommend her to everyone I know.

I truly cannot say enough about Kiran Photography. Kiran went above and beyond in every possible…read moreway. 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 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!

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.

We truly love working with Sasha and getting to have her talent as a part of our family history. Feeling awkward in front of the camera? Don't worry, Sasha will make you feel like a natural-born model. Worried about logistics on your wedding day? Don't worry, Sasha has it down to a science.

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

And so....she was able to get the best picture poses of them. The engagement photos were beautiful and my daughter used them for the "save the date" cards she sent out ahead of the invitations. 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!

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 :)

Julia is exceptional!

We had the best experience at the newborn shoot - Julia took care of EVERYTHING which was so wonderful for this sleep deprived first time parent.

Would highly recommend Julia - such a talented and genuine human being!

We told her the first look photos were most important to us, and she really gave some artistic vision to those shots.

She helped us immensely with poses and we felt very comfortable around her. Our engagement shoot felt like a whole adventure. Savanna has a number of beautiful locations scouted out and it barely felt like a posed shoot as we were having such a fun time. On our wedding day she handled our larger family photos like a true professional. We were shocked when we found that we'd followed our wedding day schedule almost to the minute, from getting ready, to first look, to bridal photos at a nearby park, to getting back to our venue in time to relax before the ceremony. Savanna also has an insanely fast response time. She's so detailed in her responses and goes above and beyond to clarify details such as meeting time, weather alternatives, timelines, etc. We also had our engagement and wedding photos back within a matter of weeks! Savanna, you've captured so many beautiful moments of joy, excitement, and love that we would've otherwise missed. I know we'll be poring over these photos for years to come and will cherish them for a lifetime!

Christiana was absolutely wonderful. I booked this as a surprise for my husband's birthday, because…read morehe was gifted a nice camera recently. I knew that he would be excited about learning, but I didn't know that I would thoroughly enjoy it too! She has a way of really breaking down the concepts to make it approachable and easy for everyone to understand. Her house and backyard make for the perfect setting to get some hands-on practice. We found ourselves taking the camera out the very next day to work on what we learned, and that inspiration is the mark of a great teacher! I had no idea that photography can capture details that the human eye can't see on its own. Thank you for being such a fabulous, warm, and inspiring host and guide!
