Lindsey was a key part of the engagement and even texted me the morning of good luck. She went above and beyond and directed a full photo shoot then delivered the photos same day after I proposed. All of the photos are beyond incredible. The only hard part is going to be picking your favorite.

My daughter wanted to do senior pictures at the beach earlier in the year, and we never did, so I decided to surprise her with a photo shoot while visiting.

My daughter and I LOVED that she asked questions about HER specific interests, likes (music, hobbies, etc.) in ordered to "know" her in advance and make her session the best it can be!

Lucia Kiel is a true artist and extremely talented in her craft…read more I wanted some maternity photos taken to capture my third (and final) pregnancy. I saw all of the stunning photos on Lucia's website and quickly told myself that mine would never turn out that beautifully. As much as I wanted this special time documented, I was feeling less-than-beautiful, with my splotchy skin, grown-out-roots, and a flaky, red, hormone-driven rash that was slowly taking over my face. Plus, at 34 weeks pregnant, I doubted that I had anything flattering to wear. And I am really awkward when it comes to taking serious, non-smiling photos. I almost backed out. But Lucia reassured me that she would work with me to make my insecure, pregnant self shine. And she did. I arrived at her studio, where she had several maternity outfits of her own for me to choose from to wear. Her hair and makeup artist worked wonders, making me feel confident and beautiful and pretty glamorous, and soon we were snapping away. I still felt totally awkward doing the serious photos, but powered through. And wouldn't you know? When we met together a couple of weeks later to view the photos, the serious ones were some of my favorites! She worked her magic (which is really a LOT of hard work and pure talent!) and produced some jaw-dropping pictures that I will treasure for a lifetime.

Right off the bat Lucia and I realized we had very similar tastes in style and aesthetics, which made me feel at ease knowing that I would love the photos. Lucia went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots that we wanted and that we looked our best.

He has a great personality and made me feel much more comfortable while posing for photos. He captured so many great moments and we are so thrilled with our pictures!

Kara was very personable, responded quickly and had a great turnaround time however her I was very…read moredisappointed with her photos. We hired her for our family Xmas photos and she produced about20 or so images with only one 4 images I truly liked. She charged me 450 (about 110 per image of you really think about it). Most of the images were over exposed - where we looked pasty and it was difficult to distinguish our features or there were harsh shadows on our faces. After I mentioned this to her she quickly attempted to fix the images but there is only so much you can do when lighting is a factor. I was pretty sad as this was our baby's first family Christmas photo- I think next time I'll stick to photographers that have more than 2 reviews . Update- 2016 Kara was very gracious in her offer to reshoot. If we lived closer I would take her up on the offer. I appreciate her efforts to make her customers happy.
