Barb and Manuel were an AMAZING help with our dream vacation! We wanted to go to Mexico with our 11…read moreyear old daughter without going to an all-inclusive resort. Barb was so generous answering my many, many, many questions. Thank you Barb!! From the perfect places to stay, what to see, which restaurants to go to and what was great on the menu to the car rental, they were amazing!!! Manuel called the car rental to make sure all was well and again on the day of our arrival, just to make sure all was arranged and ready, which was such a comfort. Renting a car can be stressful, but not with his help! Thank you Manuel!!! We went first to Tulum, then Akumal and ended in Valladolid. We didn't take any tours, we did it all on our own thanks to all of the information and help they provided! I speak very minimal Spanish, and my husband hardly any, and we had no issues. We can't wait to go back. We had a trip of a lifetime! The people are lovely, the food incredible, the beaches glorious and the ruins and jungle were magical. The only problem was, we only stayed for 8 days! It should have been at least 10 but better yet 12! Thank you so much you two!!! Lots of love from Colorado! Sincerely, Ann Brumby

Where do we start?! Barb and Manuel went above and beyond for our wedding in Akumal! It was so…read moremagical how everything turned out. We are so happy we found them on trip advisor, we wouldn't be able to make this happen! The vendors they work with goes above and beyond too. Barb and Manuel really do care and wants to make our dream wedding come true! Aside from the wedding, they provide great suggestions for activities after/before the wedding. It didn't stop at the wedding, they provide assistance with other things such as favorite restaurants, activities and advice on how to get around! They are really good at what they do. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We can't wait to see the photos!

She was an absolute dream to work with--professional, proactive, and completely put us at ease from the moment she arrived. We had kids involved in our wedding, and she handled them with such patience and kindness that it felt like she'd known our family for years. She captured beautiful, natural moments without ever feeling intrusive, and kept everything running smoothly without adding any stress to the day. Our photos turned out stunning, and they're something we'll treasure forever. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a talented photographer who brings both skill and genuine warmth to such an important day.

I walked out of my session with Katya and Sydney riding a high like I have never experienced…read morebefore. I booked a session to surprise my husband with photos for an anniversary present what I didn't expect is what it would do for my confidence and view of my body (which I didn't think I had confidence issues about!) After hearing the comments Katya and Sydney made during the session and seeing a few previews in various sets, I walked out with a completed different perspective! Katya and Sydney were amazing. I expected to feel nervous as I had never taken Boudoir photos before yet when I took my robe off for the first set of photos, I was surprised to feel comfortable and at ease. We laughed and chatted throughout the session like we were old friends. Their expert posing guidance includes moving you like a barbie doll, verbal coaching and making sure every strap, hair, etc is in the right place. I did the Bella Sole experience which was an entire day session because I wasn't sure I would be able to narrow things down and I am so glad I did. I was able to do everything on my wishlist and then some - although I admit I now have some new ideas. I'm not sure what was harder, waiting for the proofs or trying to continue keeping this a surprise from my husband once I saw them! If you are on the fence about taking the leap for photos, not sure its right for you or not sure if you will look good, I strongly encourage you to take the leap. They will make you feel amazing!

Thanks Christa!

Kia was…read moreabsolutely amazing to work with and came prepared with so many ideas, inspiration and photos to recreate. She called around to different venues to ensure they didn't have a photography fee and to make sure we could come and take professional style photography. She showed us some inspiration photos to help us understand what her vision was and gave great feedback! We had our 18 month child with us which can be hit or miss on how happy/entertained he will be. Her husband joined the shoot and helped wrangle our toddler, give him snacks and keep him company while we did a couple of mom&dad only photos. If you're looking for a photographer to capture photos, memories and special moments, book with her today! 10/10 recommend!!

If you've been researching and searching for a newborn photographer to capture the priceless…read morememories of adding your little one to the family, look no further. Nicole has been kind and wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Her portal allows for ease of scheduling your photo shoot, and she was even able to accommodate a backup date if needed in case baby decided to come later than expected. On the portal you can give all the details for the photos you're envisioning, so Nicole can capture exactly what you'd like. We arrived to her studio and were very impressed by the large wardrobe of dresses for mom to wear, some outfits for siblings, and swaddles, hats, and accessories for the newborn. Not to mention the beautiful backdrops and staged areas available for both newborn photos and capturing our family. With her baby magic, Nicole was able to get our newborn out of his car seat and managed to swaddle him without waking or stirring him. She's a mom of five, and she's clearly a baby whisperer who truly knows what she is doing! Our busy, high energy two year old was not a fan of sitting still or cooperating for any of the photos. She was completely unfazed and used snacks, toys, and sang songs to get his attention and look at the camera. When we got our photos, I was in complete awe that she managed to get great family photos despite our toddler's difficult demeanor that day. We are absolutely thrilled with the gorgeous photos that Nicole captured of our baby and family. She is a photographer who truly knows her stuff and specializes in working with and capturing families. We have been so happy to work with her, and we will be treasuring these photos for the rest of our lives!
