Becky is truly incredible! We were so lucky to do our engagement shoot with her and we are beyond…read moreexcited to get to work with her on our wedding day! She's so talented and a wonderful person to be around. We can't stop staring at all of our dreamy photos. THANK YOU BECKY!!

Becky shot our engagement photos last year and our wedding back in March and the photos are almost simply a BONUS to how much fun she was to hang out with! It felt like having one of our best friends right alongside us on our big day. We wanted our photos to be fun, playful, and casual with an artistic spin and a little bit of an edge. The shots she got + the edits she made are pure gold. Every single photo is a work of art. Becky made us so comfortable and gave just enough direction so that we we could initiate good shots but weren't super posed/staged and were able to capture authentic moments. Her website says your photoshoots will be "with flare, with style, with ease" and that's honestly the best description. Her ethics are also top notch: she prioritizes gender and racial equality, cares about sustainability, and treats everyone with respect - all of which were very important for us in choosing our wedding vendors. If you're on the fence, let me just reassure you: Becky is the BEST and you'll be so happy you booked her.

Anyone can take pictures, but not everyone can take really great pictures…read more Kim not only has a great eye and artistry, she is a great person to work with. I wasn't sure if my kids were going to be cooperative, but she was relaxed and put everyone at ease. Even before we scheduled our session, she was very prompt and responsive to emails and gave us many great options on locations and product options. We decided to do our pictures outdoors and she met us at Golden Gardens and was well prepared, having scoped out some great sites to shoot, and even brought some simple props. I was so impressed by how many great pictures came out. After the photos were proofed and put on her secure website, she came out to our house to show us samples of her product offerings, and gave us great suggestions on types of canvases, sizing, and where to hang our family pictures. Then, after they were ready, she brought them back to our house. We all enjoyed working with her, and we have had so many great compliments on our family pictures. I will definitely work with her again for our next set of pictures and I would highly recommend her.

She immediately puts everyone at ease, making the session fun and comfortable - even those who claim they don't want to take photos, like stubborn toddlers (our's now asks when we can take pictures with Kim again). Her resulting work is beautiful and very real. We first worked with Kim on a newborn shoot in her old studio a few years ago and decided to work with her again now that she does in-home sessions. I have to say that having the photos taken in our home makes them even more special and personal. I think her creativity really shines when given the blank canvas of a new space. Kim's ability to take photographs that truly capture special moments in time is special and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family photographer.

Having Rachel as our doula was not only fundamental to the well-being of our pregnancy but also an…read moreincredible gift we will always cherish. From the start, Rachel's demeanor aligned perfectly with ours. She was very knowledgeable, informative, and easy to talk to. As the carrying parent, I had many questions that Rachel was able to explain in detail thanks to her years of experience in the field and her ability to navigate the different settings in which a person can labor, including the birth center of our choice. Knowing she would be there to help us make important decisions and advocate on our behalf was priceless. From our first meeting, still over Zoom, I greatly appreciated her approach and how caring she was without being overbearing. When I was searching for someone to support us, it was important to me that the person had experience, understood my needs and concerns, and wasn't solely focused on taking pictures. Rachel checked all of those marks. Although she wasn't focused on photography only, her passion for the entire journey of life--from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond--can be seen through her amazing pictures as well. Her ability to capture special moments is truly incredible and artistic. Lastly, knowing that she is a professional who values and advocates for the rights of all people is the cherry on top. When I share our experience with friends, they all say: "I wish I had a doula like yours." We definitely recommend her for anyone hopping on this wild journey called parenthood.

After becoming pregnant I knew I wanted to hire a birth doula, as a death doula myself I understand…read morethe importance of having someone guide you through a transformative experience that I knew would hold many emotions. Once we met Rachel it was immediately clear we were a match, it felt like she had been in our lives forever. Rachel's extensive knowledge and thorough guidance ensured that we were well-informed about our choices at each phase of the birthing process, which brought us immense comfort and confidence. We had planned for an out-of-hospital birth but at the end of the pregnancy had to urgently schedule a C-section and Rachel was by our side the entire time, helping us navigate every decision with clarity and care. She prepared us for exactly what we could expect, slowed us down when fear was starting to take over, advocated for me in the hospital (immediate skin-to-skin with baby, supporting my husband as the nurses cared for baby, latching as quickly as possible, etc.), and ensured that either she or my husband held my hand the entire time. Beyond just her knowledge, she provided a safe space where we could express our fears openly and encouraged acknowledging all the emotions that come with becoming new parents. She did a beautiful job honoring my grief, grief in becoming a mom and the change of identity, grief in having to change our birth plan late in the pregnancy, and grief that I wouldn't have my mom with me. Rachel's soft energy and loving presence was a true anchor for us during this transformative time and when I think about the birthing experience I know it was a positive one because of Rachel. We will forever cherish the photos she took, as they capture so much of the emotion and love.

After reviewing the photos of several Seattle-area photographers on Yelp and online, we booked…read moreDanielle for our pregnancy photos. I simply cannot recommend Danielle enough. From the very beginning, she was professional, helpful, and responsive. We booked a few months in advance for her busy summer season, and she identified a location for us that matched the multiple visions we were looking for and near our neighborhood. Even though she keeps a tight schedule, when the time came for our session, we had a stressful family emergency that caused us to have to reschedule. I was very stressed about rescheduling a photo session booked so far in advance, but Danielle was incredibly kind and offered another great option the following week, which alleviated my stress. That alone--her willingness to help in a crisis, and to do so very sweetly, when she could have just said too bad--is reason alone for me to recommend her. The experience itself of taking the photos was its own pleasure! This was my and my spouse's first time ever taking professional photos, and I in particular don't always love the way I look in pictures. But Danielle immediately put me at ease. Her fun and down-to-earth personality is complemented by what is obviously a lot of experience, and she gently directed and adjusted us when needed while keeping the mood light and fun. She also obliged my spouse's ideas of how he wanted to pose in some photos with such generosity of spirit and even stayed with us for over our allotted hour to get all the good shots. After the session, we were both raving about how much fun it was to work with Danielle--definitely not a word I would have expected using for such a thing! Of course the important part: the resulting photos. Danielle sent us over a hundred absolutely gorgeous photos from our session, and I was just floored at how much I loved them. I have never felt that way about a photo of myself, and I didn't expect to change that during the third trimester of pregnancy, which has not felt like the most glamorous of times. To have these images and the memories they represent is such a meaningful gift that will last a lifetime. If you are unsure about whether you want to do a maternity photoshoot and/or you're looking for someone who will produce magnificent photos and help you have fun while doing it, book Danielle without delay!! We can't wait for the next photo-occasion to work with her in the future :)

As the DJ, we get to interact with all the vendors and see firsthand how the flow of the evening unfolds. It makes such a difference when vendors help make the night run seamlessly--and Danielle does exactly that! She has clearly mastered not only the craft of photography, but also the art of collaborating effortlessly with other vendors. The result is a smooth, joyful experience for the couple, and their photos reflect that energy perfectly. We can't wait to work with Danielle again!
