Darque, made sure he understood what I wanted and my idea for the shoot. The day of the shoot he was there early and ready to go. I had no idea that he went to the garden to look around to find the right spot. This was a time saver...the gardens are huge. If you have a chance to book a session with Darque, you will not regret it. I know I don't.

I used Monumental Arts for my headshots, and I am so happy I did! If you're looking for a…read morephotographer who will take your headshot seriously and ensure it reflects who YOU are, you need K Michael at Monumental Arts! What really stood out to me about Monumental Arts is that his portfolio captures the personality of the person. It's not just another head in a frame--it's telling you something about them. He was prompt, responsive, and accommodating. I felt at ease immediately when working with K Michael. First, he provided guidelines for preparing for the photo shoot day (which were very helpful). Before the shoot, he walked me through the process and gave great instructions--he wanted it to be as comfortable as possible for me! And let me tell you, the results were terrific. He gave me plenty of options and a ton of flexibility with the backgrounds and poses. It was much better than the standard one or two corporate poses. He was even accommodating with specialty edits. When I got my photos back, I could tell he had taken his time to make sure they were perfect--and they absolutely were. Monumental Arts is truly a master at his craft, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants their pictures taken by someone who knows what they're doing!

I highly recommend Monumental Arts for your photography needs. Very professional and quick to…read morerespond on a short notice. I needed a headshot and was able to book an appointment the following day! Photoshoot was quick and efficient. Photos were edited and ready for download the same day as the shoot. Overall, I'm very happy with the services and the products.

Carol was perfect! I reached out a few months prior to a ceremony in the National Archives Museum…read moreof DC. It's a low-light room where historical documents are displayed and no personal photography is allowed for their protection (no flash). Carol was easy to work with, engaging with my guests, and I am thrilled with the end result. Her price was fair, and although I can buy prints through her site, she did not require me to. She was very responsive, friendly and captured beautiful images of a treasured memory I can hold on to forever. Highly recommend!

I've worked with K Shots Photography on 3 separate occasions. Desmond is very easy to work with and…read moredoes great professional work. If you have a vision for how you want things photographed he will do exactly what you want, if you are like me and have no idea what you want he will create a very memorable experience. You can't beat K Shots. I will use them again whenever I am in the area.

Had to get some professional career shots done for Linkedin and for some job applications. Problem…read morewas that I get that awkward school kid grin when I smile for the camera and remember school pictures from yesteryear. So when I got the Eric's name from a former colleague and friend after seeing some portraits of his, I was a little unsure if the pictures would turn out. When setting up the session, Eric offered to do the shoot at his home or at any location of my choosing. I liked the flexibility of location, and decided to go to his home. The studio was set up and he spent some time chatting with me to put me at ease and to get to know me. Then he started shooting. After a little while he had what he needed, and showed me a preview. I was in shock. I didn't have the cheesy grin, and frankly was stunned at what he was able to capture. He sent me a shot within 24 hours as I had a pressing need, and the rest were delivered to me in less then the 2 week turnaround time he had stated. So if you want to get a good picture, and want to make it easy on yourself, go to Eric. He will take pictures of you that you will be happy with, and that really shows you - not some posed frozen deer in front of headlights look, nor a cheesy grin that only comes out when posing, nor something that isn't you!

Steve and Jane did my engagement photoshoot and my wedding photography in northern Virginia in…read morespring 2018. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them! While we had a team of amazing vendors for our wedding, Steve and Jane are by far THE BEST CHOICE my husband and I made. We found them through a local wedding expo; by that time, we already had an excellent photographer in mind, but then we saw their pieces at the expo and could not get their artwork out of our heads. Steve and Jane are a wonderful couple who work seamlessly together. They're friendly, funny, professional, and just so easy to work with. We also LOVED their style of photography, especially how they use light to enhance their work. They are also extremely responsive, flexible, personable, and handled the crazy wedding schedule (especially the chaotic family portrait) calmly with zen. I think I would've broken down many, many times during the wedding day if it wasn't for them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for anyone who's looking for photographers who can take unique, timeless wedding photos. As a side note, Steve and Jane just opened their studio in Waldorf, Maryland. I loved working with them so much that if I need professional portrait in the future, I am definitely going to them!

Steve and Jane shot my June 27, 2015 wedding in DC at The Arts Club of Washington and they were…read moreeverything I could want in my wedding photographers! I planned my wedding in less than three months (call me crazy-I wanted a summer wedding and didn't want to wait an entire year to get married from the time I was engaged) and found Steve and Jane at the Wedding Experience show in Dulles. First of all, they are my type of people! They say one of the most important things when choosing a photographer is finding someone you jive with and I just knew from the moment I met them both they were down to earth, cool people. They are passionate about what they do and it's so apparent every time we met. Our initial meeting was at a Starbucks in Capitol Hill, which they drove to from all the way out in MD, just to accommodate us. They came prepared with examples, a slideshow, printed books and armed with answers to every question we could think of at the time. They were also very responsive to emails and offered to chat/text whenever I had a question. Leading up to the date, I was extremely busy planning my wedding. One word of advice--be a good client, too! I was late with pretty much everything they asked me for (shot list, contact list) but they were super sweet about everything! They definitely can deal with a stressed out bride and groom very well! Our package included an engagement shoot but my fiance had to travel and then the one night it would have worked, it rained so I cancelled-again, very accommodating. I wish we would have had the time to do the engagement shots but it just didn't pan out! Hopefully we will do a shoot with them sometime in the near future! So, day of the wedding--pouring rain! My dream outdoor wedding was ruined and at the last minute we had to go with Plan B. Jane and Steve were prepped for the rain (we did a few shots outside under an umbrella with a light in it and let me tell you those pictures came out amazing!). They also worked extremely hard to keep me occupied and do a full-out bridal shoot due to some important members of our wedding party that were late. They went above and beyond to make our day extra special--they even helped pin flowers and fix my veil throughout the evening! I don't even know if they ate anything because they were constantly shooting (I have Italian guilt about this still)! They even stayed late because we ran over our time so much due to the wedding starting so late. They were by far the rockstar vendors of our wedding! On-time, professional, kind, worked well under pressure and did it all with a smile on their face! Fast-forward eight weeks and our pictures arrived via email on their site. I had a few questions about some shots and they addressed them right away. The pictures came out absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! I showed them to some of my friends and they told me they looked like pictures from a magazine. Steve and Jane, thank you for being so amazing, professional, fun and great at what you do! Brides-if you're looking for amazing photographers please give Steve and Jane a call.

Abram shot our wedding in July, and did an amazing job. He is very laid back and easy to work…read morewith, and really aims to give his a clients a product they will enjoy for years to come. Abram's photo-journalistic style makes him almost invisible during the actual event, and yet, he seemed to get shots of every part of the day we wanted. He has a quick trigger, and an uncanny eye for those candid moments you'll want to remember. The custom album he created for us is awesome, and all of this for an incredibly reasonable price. Abram is new to the DC area, so I would suggest booking him now, before he really blows up.

He was extremely pleasant…read moreand easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and worked with me on a shot list and timing that ensured we'd capture the best moments on our big day. In addition to all the photos I requested, he also caught amazing details that I would have never thought to include. Plus, he communicated directly with and worked alongside our primary photographer with ease and professionalism. I know she's considered working with him on additional events as she was impressed with his work. We also worked with him on our photo books, which we gave as a gift to our parents this Christmas. The result was absolutely stunning and we'd recommend him without hesitation.

I opted to go with ambitious briea for my maternity shoot as my first choice photographer was…read morebooked. Her Instagram photos were cute and her website were professional. I don't want to bash this photographer but the service could've been a lot better. My issue with this photographer is that she does not adhere to her own policy as per her webpage. Her webpage is not " fool proof" meaning all the need to know details can't be found on the website and the photographer is not assessable by phone and does not respond to emails within her provided 24hr time in my situation there were occasions when she didn't respond at all. She does not do any type of consultation prior to your shoot which takes a way from your shoot time on the day of. My shoot was on May 16th I paid the remaining balance selected my photos on May 18th. I should've gotten my 4 edited pictures back on June 6th. Today June 16th still nothing. Prior to my shoot I sent two emails asking about what to expect on the day of my shoot and a consultation; Without response. Resulting in time being taken out of my 1hr shoot for bathroom break, consultation, and changing. One of my outfits could've been worn to the shoot. On the day of my shoot I arrived timely with a support person and in my opinion the photographer came off as nice nasty at this point she had half the money for my shoot so I didn't acknowledge it. She asked me several questions that would've been addressed if she had responded to my email when I brought that to her attention she told me " I was busy" like I am not a paying customer who also work and is busy. My photos are very plain compared to others who brought the same package on her page. When I brought this to her attention my only option was to pay an additional fee for the edits I wanted which if she had addressed my emails prior to the shoot we would not have had an issue and I could've paid for exactly what I wanted up front. She did provide the raw photos which I was able to edit on my own to my liking. Based on that I would never go with this photographer again nor recommend her to anyone. The brown background photos are supposed to be "customized to bring my vision to life" ...it's nothing special about it. She charges you to use props and consider that as customized. We spent a significant amount of time on what outfit to choose first and ultimately we went with the brown look which had bronzer then the white outfit. Bronzer got on the white outfit and she ask on her site not to wear stained clothes. Why as professional you have me put on bronzer prior to wearing white? This was my first shoot how was I supposed to know not to do that? The blue background is just blue all the props I brought myself. I will provide screen shots of email conversation and photos. I hope this helps someone but book at your own risk. My photos were not bad, the studio is professional the service and communication needs a lot of work. As a paying customer I am unsatisfied.

I cannot wait to see the final results, because the unedited photos that were shown were amazing.
