BK Rose is undeniably the best in the business. We hired Kat and Brett for both our engagement and…read morewedding photos, and we had an amazing experience every step of the way. Kat immediately made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely ourselves during our engagement shoot. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, especially when it came to all the little things I told her I wanted -- like my very specific request for our photos to feel grand and epic, but also romantic lol. She was always available by text or phone whenever we had questions or concerns. Weeks after our engagement shoot, I noticed something off about my dress, and she had edited photos back to me within hours to help solve the issue. Kat has such a vibrant energy about her that makes the photoshoots so fun! And that's before even getting to her incredible photography skills. She knows all the hidden gems around the city, how to navigate crowded locations to get THE shot, and how to capture a wide variety of moments while maintaining incredible quality. The photos truly speak for themselves. Kat and Brett together are an incredible duo. They seem to instinctively know what shot the other is trying to get, and it was cool to watch them flow together so seamlessly. I think that definitely contributes to their fantastic work. I'm not even sure what our next big event will be, but whatever it is, we're already looking forward to having a reason to hire Kat and Brett again!

We used Kat to do family/newborn photos when we had our 2nd child.

She had some beautiful options but I ended up going with a dress of my own. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! We received our pictures within 2 days of our photoshoot and they are nothing short of incredible. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and stunning they look. I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!

She quickly made herself part of the background. The kids didn't even notice she was there, and she was able to get lots of great candid shots! My son wasn't feeling great, but Alina had some toys and props with her to help distract him and also had some tricks up her sleeve to get a fussy 3-year-old to smile! She got the CD to us by the following week. With other photographers, we had to wait at least a month and usually had to pay through the roof to get prints without a watermark. Alina's pricing was very reasonable and we were very happy with our pictures. We will definitely be calling her in the future.

She's perfect for event photography which is what I use her for. She is on-time, hard-working, and gets right into it. And the best part of it all, the pictures were ready in under 48 hours. That's IMPRESSIVE. I really liked Ashley and can't wait to work with her again! Loved the beautiful pictures she captured!

She was nothing but positive and--truly!--made us feel awesome about ourselves and the pictures we were taking. She is just a pleasure to be around and our comfort and happiness really comes through in the photos. And the photos are amazing!

I hired Liz as a 40th anniversary present for my parents. By far the best present I've given my…read moreparents to date (and a gift I will most likely never be able to match again...until the next time we have family pictures taken by Liz). Liz was a dream to work with from the first moment I contacted her...responding to my email sent via her website contact form within 15 minutes. Not only was her response quick, but she was very upfront will all the important details regarding her event coverage (hours, rate, deposit, final payment, image disk, online gallery information, etc.). From the moment the contract was signed, Liz started the planning process. Having never covered an event at our party location, she proactively reached out to the venue and scheduled a walkthrough of the grounds. It was evident in all our pictures that she had thoroughly walked the grounds and knew exactly where and when to get the best shots. Liz kept in constant contact throughout the planning process - asking important questions to give her a better feel for the day's events...was flash photography allowed at mass, was there going to be a cake, favors, etc. Liz did all the planning up front to ensure she didn't miss any pictures the night of the event and I can assure you she captured it all. Even though I was at the event, I didn't capture nearly all the beauty with my eyes that she did through the lens. I can guarantee, I will never let anyone else behind the lens to capture our family's memories. I only wish I had known Liz when we got married. To all future brides and grooms lucky enough to hire her for your event....you will not be disappointed. In addition to event photography, Liz provides family, child, and pet photography. We will definitely be using her for all our photography needs from here on out (and I'm sure if you use her once, you will feel the same).

Liz is outstanding! First of all, prior to even hiring her, I was impressed by her timely reply to…read moremy inquiry. During the session, she was personable, easy-going and both flexible in listening to my suggestions as well as offering her own. She was also very generous in trying to get as many usable and workable shots as possible, as opposed to merely just cutting us off right at the 30 minute mark (particularly since she was working with my 2 unruly toddlers and infant). Lastly, to cap off an already positive experience, she had our teasers up the next day (amazingly fast!) as well as our full album within a week. Impressive! Her prices area also more reasonable in comparison to some of the others I researched, particularly the mini-portrait session. Given all this, we will definitely use her again. Plus knowing how well our pics turned out, I'd happily pay her for extra services. Thanks, Liz!
