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

We worked with Kiran for both our maternity and newborn photoshoot sessions…read more And we couldn't be happier! Kiran is absolutely fantastic at her job. 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!

Short Answer: Courtney Holcomb is amazing. Save the time…read moreit will take to read this review and make an appointment with her before she is all booked up. She is that good! Longer Answer: I needed a "headshot." Truth be told, I would prefer having a tooth pulled than having my picture taken, especially when it is just me. Thank you, no. I am 62, and I have finally come to the conclusion that I am never going to get taller or younger...I know, right? But I digress... After receiving more than a few proposals for my YELP request (which is one of the things I love about YELP) and filtering through them, I found I kept coming back to Courtney's website. After speaking with her on the phone, I knew she was who I wanted to work with. I mean, really, I can only take so many bad selfies, even with all those festive "apps" before I realized I wanted find a real photographer. Courtney is more than just a real photographer; she is an artist. When I showed up for the photo shoot, I was as nervous as can be. It's silly but true. Put me in front of a crowd of people to speak, a high school full of students, even when faced with that service writer about to tell me "Lola" (my car) needs "a bit more work than we were hoping...". That I can handle. No fear! But point a camera at me? Yeah...no. But I digress...again... Then I met Courtney Holcomb. Courtney has this amazingly calm manner and this kind smile that would help anyone relax. She listens. She asks questions that actually apply to the photo shoot. She wasn't trying to schmooze me. She was trying to make sure I got what I wanted. She explained exactly what she wanted me to do and how she wanted me to do it. She is patient. She smiles. She gets me. How cool is that? And I loved the studio! Come to find out, Courtney has access to several amazing studios, from basically the US/Canada border to the Seattle/Bellevue a rea. This makes it so much more convenient for me, and it was perfect! It was in this old building in Everett with these incredibly tall ceilings, tons of natural light (even that day when it was on the verge of raining), these gorgeous billowy curtains, and lots of furniture possibilities. It has a great dressing room area, too. In fact, the whole place is spacious enough for a herd of family without feeling cramped. Perfect. Now, let's dash to the INCREDIBLE proofs! First, I received them incredibly quickly, and the platform she uses to review them is very easy to use. The pictures themselves? WOW. They are wonderful. They made me feel beautiful. I felt like she found how to make me look kind and strong, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Did I mention her prices are more than fair? Did I mention I am already scheduling another sitting with her for our family? Final Words: HIRE HER! Seriously, you will thank me

Courtney has a natural talent for not only photography but interacting with those being…read morephotographed. Her kind gentle calm demeanor radiates. I shared with Courtney my concerns about being photographed which she took great care to keep in mind during all photos taken that were candid as well as posed ones. No one even knew I was being"directed" on angle, pose, etc. I felt cared about, respected, & empowered in a sense. It's one of those things that's hard to put into words because it was so profoundly moving and emotional...in a good way. She captured the moments and who we are so well I was in awe and not expecting that. We received our images in a beautiful gallery that was very simple to access and use. We will forever be a client/customer.

She was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry (which was an issue I'd been having with other photographers), and was very communicative throughout the process. When we arrived at her studio in Stanwood, the atmosphere was absolutely perfect for a newborn - dim lighting, soothing music, and a warm environment. The studio was super clean, and even had a bathroom with a changing station and diapers / wipes in case we needed them. There were many hats, blankets, and props to choose from. But what we loved the most was Ana's warm, sweet, gentle way with the baby. She's a baby whisperer!! She soothed and cuddled my granddaughter and was able to take the most precious photographs that we will cherish forever. Thanks again for everything, Ana!!

I am really picky when it comes to new photographers but Ana was referred to us and so I thought we would give her a try. It was our first "mini session" and I was afraid a timed mini session anywhere would feel rushed (especially with a toddler) but we did not feel rushed at all. Ana was very patient and created a stress-free environment, she let us take our time with every pose, and even got our toddler to smile quite a bit (which in the past we found difficult for anyone else to make him smile). She knows how to work with little ones! She had great ideas for poses as well and also made sure there weren't any specific poses we wanted that were left out. I came into this session just wanting 5-10 photos but she delivered so much more and I'm so thankful we got copies of all of that because the pictures really did turn out great! We definitely feel like this photo session was worth every bit spent! (She even collected food donations and provided giveaways to those who donated). We look forward to working with Ana more in the future!

Kathleen recently took both our maternity and newborn photos for the birth of our second daughter…read more She is absolutely wonderful! She was great with our toddler during both sessions (maternity photos were taken outside and a local barn property and newborn photos were taken at our home). She is very talented, friendly, professional and responsive to e-mails/questions, etc. She was also patient and accommodating when I asked to change the newborn session date multiple times because of uncertainty around the timing of our scheduled induction. We are in love with all of the photos she took for us and are amazed by the shots she was able to capture. We know they're photos we will cherish forever. We definitely plan to use Kathleen for our future family photographs. My husband and I highly recommend Kathleen!

We went to the lavender farm on the island and a few minutes later, he proposed in the lavender field! I didn't know it at the time, but Steve was a few rows over photographing us!

Steve was so easy to work with and despite me being in shock over just having gotten engaged, I felt comfortable around him.

She's sweet, genuine, encouraging, and ambitious. We were really bad about setting a specific timeline for the day-of until the week before and Melissa was understanding and flexible with whatever needed to happen even with last-minute planning. She took nice family portraits for us and we had a blast taking our couples shots with her down on the beach. I'm a naturalist nerd and delighted in the fact that she is too, as we kept pausing to exclaim over beach-combing finds and incorporating things like sand dollars and peeling madrona bark into our photos. She did an excellent job balancing our requests for certain backdrops and types of shots with her own professional suggestions, and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out! She was extremely prompt with the turn-around. Sneak peeks the day after (!) and our whole portfolio just 2.5 weeks after! Wow! If you want someone who's a down-to-earth person AND a fabulous photographer, we highly recommend Melissa! We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

Their neverending support and offers of help really made the experience so special. I loved my photos and woukd definitely do it all again someday.
