Just know this review won't say enough about Jason and Cydney. Also, I'm sorry it's so much later…read morethan when my wedding was in case my coming words left some poor bride and groom from being able to decide to make their wedding memories shine since spring till now. We had fun at our engagement shoot and learned a lot to help ourselves the day of the wedding. They're great coaches with a keen eye. These two are imaginative, fun, flexible, and willing to go the distance. Everything was easy with them [ Even though our group may not have been for them! ;) ] Great at managing people for a shot. It's like herding kittens, but they got it! Wedding day, they were happy to be wherever we were going to be. Organized and stayed on target of our timeline and plans that they requested ahead of time. And actually it was all fashioned after the realllllly helpful guides found on their website. So don't tell them, but they practically planned our wedding day. Shhhhhhhhh The results speak for themselves through the many mouths of our friends and family being absolutely stunned by their photography. People thought that things were photoshopped that weren't. They do some touch up photoshop work for you and maybe a special embellishment if you like, but they are able to capture amazing angles and lighting that is all them and their talent. You need to know what you look like through their lenses!

Jason and Cydney are seriously one of the best and I will shout it to the mountain tops until I…read moredie!! My now Hubby and I are definitely honest and know when we aren't feeling something or when we feel we made the wrong decision in choosing things... but choosing Lavender Bouquet to do our Wedding was the BEST decision we ever made. Our wedding was small and had ONE big hiccup (Important family members were late) and so the wedding started later than normal. But with everything that happened, they were AWESOME. They were accommodating by bringing umbrellas when it rained and took everything as it came with the "no worries' attitude! My husband can be a man of few words most of the time with the "its cool" answer to everything... but he has nothing but kind and sincere words about Jason and Cydney and how wonderful they were the day of. The pictures made them EVEN MORE AWESOME!!! They came out phenomenal and EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE from family, to friends to coworkers) RAVE about our pictures and love them just as much as we do. They have this creative eye for capturing things that I wouldn't have even thought of and when I came up with the idea of getting some pics by my husbands Camaro, they were like "OH YEA LETS DO IT!!" I will use Lavender Bouquet for EVERYTHING now and will never stop referring them to people who want amazing pictures. Seriously, you will not regret it!

When I first moved to WA I was looking for a photographer and Briana was just starting out. We…read morebooked with her had our first session and just loved her personality from the get go and just appreciated how accommodating she was. Years pass and my family and I are still in WA and looking to have another family photoshoot. I just so happened to still have Briana's contact saved in my phone and decided to reach back out. Her photography business has blown up at this point. I will say our second experience with her throughout the entire process has yet again exceeded my expectations. She is kind and patient and so easy to work with. I HIGHLY HIGHLY encourage you to book with her, you will NOT be disappointed. Mahalo nui again Briana, you are nothing short of AMAZING!

Briana Calderon Photography is top notch, I have never had so many people tell me how beautiful…read morethese photos were Briana took her time with my 3 and 6 year, she knew exactly how to catch their individual personalities. From the very first email her tips on what to do during the session, her outfit advice was amazing and spot on, location suggestion was exactly what I was looking for and didn't mind to rescheduling not only once or twice, but three times when my cut his hair and then fell and had to get stitches on his forehead. I can't wait to do another photoshoot with her every other year.

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!

After experiencing what great work Carl Petersen did for our friend's wedding, I knew I would have…read moreto hire him at some point. When I found out I was pregnant it was the perfect opportunity for maternity photos. It's a tricky thing when you're hiring a photographer because you never know if they are going to capture that feeling/ ambiance you are looking for. More importantly you never know if you'll work well together. If you don't feel comfortable with the photographer or if they don't give you enough direction, the pictures won't turn out. Being a sometime photographer myself, I am pretty picky when it comes to photos. Carl was thorough in giving tips for before the shoot like what to wear, making a Pinterest board, etc. He was very relaxed when we met which made it easy to spend the next 1.5 hrs together. What I appreciated the most is that he took the time to make sure the pose and lighting was just right. He also paid attention to details like my hair or if something was on my dress or patting down weeds. Most importantly, he has the eye for creative shots. He nailed the vibe I was going for. Just look at his photos and you'll know that Tacoma has just scored one of the best photographers out there. Loved my photos. You'll love yours too!

With short notice (just a couple weeks) for a family reunion, Carl accommodated our schedule,…read moreincluding making his schedule tighter for a later client, and produced a folio of memories that literally brought instant tears on picture 1, and just continued from there. An incredibly friendly guy with a great eye, capturing an incredible set of portraits and group pics as well as many candid moments that all of us will treasure for many years. So grateful to have found him and that he was able to fit us in to create a phenomenal set of lasting memories.

Shortly after booking my Autum photo shoot with Anastasiya, she contacted me right away. She asked me all the questions... What my vision was for the photo shoot,; backdrops, styling, wardrobe etc. she took the time to get to know me, and assured me that she would capture something memorable. At this point, I felt at ease working with her. On the day of the photo shoot, meeting her for the first time, was like meeting an old friend. Anastasiya is a ROCKSTAR! The photo shoot was so much fun! She made everything comfortable and took many, many photos! Her turnaround time was very quick. She sent me a couple teasers at first, then sent me a link to view all the photos that same week. They turned out awesome. She listened to me, she knew what I wanted, and she captured it. I reached out to her recently for a real estate staging project. Regardless of bad rainy weather, she came through! The photos she took turned out absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy to know Anastasiya. I support women owned businesses. I highly recommend her to my YELP! Community.

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!

Although Kamieo does really nice work she is very unreliable and unresponsive showing how truly…read moreunprofessional she is. Our photo session was June 10th, 2017 and we just got our photos a week ago. I tried to reach her via phone, website, email and facebook with no responses. Last week another client told me she had to threaten Kamieo with legal action to get her photos so I did the same via a facebook message and I did finally get a response. After 10 months of waiting and not even an apology just a zip file in my email with 8 pictures in it. We will not use her again and were shocked when we started hearing from other customers that they also had the same issue. Many who still don't have their photos. Very frustrating and dissapointing to have someone we had used for several years treat us that way. Save yourself the hassle and choose a reputable photographer.
