When looking for a photographer for our son's senior pictures there was no doubt she was the one to use! She spent time to get to know our son and find out what HE liked. Doing this she was able to capture him perfectly. We had a great time at different locations capturing him. When we got our pictures back we were even more impressed at the work she did. We highly recommend Kim and will be using her again when our daughter gets her senior pictures done.

As I saw pictures being posted there was one photographer who's work always impressed me, KJay Photography. After working with Kim it became apparent why her photos are so amazing. She gets to know her subjects, she provides great suggestions to get the shots you want. She has wonderful locations understands the importance of lighting and works seamlessly and creatively to get hundreds of fabulous shots. My son who wasn't really looking forward to having his picture taken, actually had fun and couldn't believe it went so fast. I am grateful to KJay Photography for capturing this milestone in my sons life. I absolutely treasure the photos and my daughter can not wait until her turn this summer!

Jen made Chris and I feel 100% at ease, comfortable with camera, and delivered images that blew us away. I am beyond grateful to have the images that Jen took be the representation of our wedding.

I really couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Hear ye, hear ye! It's about time that Jen gets a 5 star rating from this amateur photog…read more I have been to two yelp events that Jen has attended as the resident photographer (of course all of the #picstitchers and #instagrammers also come out of hiding at these events - myself included, but let's be real, we aren't real photographers). Long story short, Jen takes beautiful photos. Any photographer can take beautiful staged photos, but it takes a true photographer to capture her subjects' raw emotions on film, and Jen does just that! I always look forward to her event albums and the silly candid photos. (: ...By the way, did I mention that Jen also takes the most wonderful close-ups of food?! Seriously, I could eat her photos up. :Q Beyond that, Jen is very gracious and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her in an actual photo session. Thanks for sharing your work with us, Jen!

We were overwhelmed by how many amazing photos we got, and friends and family can't stop commenting about how great the photography was. The portraits and detail shots were amazing, but the candid shots were our favorites. I think that's the most important--anyone with some basic skill can get the portraits, but it's really special to have a photographer who was able to get all those special non-posed moments (not just of us, but of our guests). Looking at the photos is really like reliving the day. Katie is also awesome to work with on the day of. She has great vibes and as soon as she arrived she got straight to business taking detail shots. She had the clear attitude that she knew what she was doing, and the photos prove it. She got along with everyone and communicated well before, during, and after. 11/10 would recommend!

Whether it be milestone photos, mini sessions or other, her pictures just come out perfect every time! Even when our daughter was crabby or crying during some of the pictures- as babies do- Jessie still captured the moment and made it beautiful. I'm so glad to have been referred to her back in 2022. I'll definitely continue booking with her in the future for all of the memories to come.

Jen is an amazing photographer.  She has the ability to capture the most stunning pictures…read more I found Jen by browsing for photographers online, she only had 2 reviews on yelp but her portfolio was so impressive and her laid back style was exactly what I was looking for. I live in Chicago, but wanted our photos done in Madison. Strictly communicating by email we were able to set up a photo shoot that very week. I thought there was no way we would get a great picture, we have three small children (and a dog!) that are not the easiest to photograph, but she managed to get them in these amazing shots, capturing everyones personalities. She was patient and calm, Jen made it all look and feel so easy. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone.  She is truly a gifted photographer, especially with children. She is extremely creative, flexible, friendly and patient. Our session with her was productive and fun.

In an hour on one peaceful morning, Jen Lucas gave a priceless gift to our family. For years, we…read morelooked for the kind of professional photographer who could really focus her lens on the inside of our daughter's spirit, capturing more than just a smile or eyes on the camera portrait. Our child was immediately drawn to Jen, who is is patient, versatile and not only willing but wanting to collaborate with her young subject. By the time the session was over, my child wanted to be a photographer! Waiting to see those proofs felt like the days before Christmas. Jen produced them with great timeliness and they left us absolutely speechless. Not only is Jen a personable professional in a session setting, she is a serious artist. We're eager to book another session with her.

He was very responsive when listening to what we were hoping to achieve and found an option that fit our budget. We had a few travel and medical schedules that caused a reschedule, but he was very considerate and understanding when we spoke a few weeks ahead of time. He wore a mask for our session and appropriately socially distanced (much appreciated during COVID times with family members of all ages). He travels light, which really speaks to his ability and talent to get incredible shots, both formal and candid. Will heartily and happily recommend him to friends and family.

Romulo spent the day with us and did an incredible job capturing not only the memories of the day but also the emotions.

When my husband and I started planning our wedding last year, we knew we wanted an outstanding…read morephotographer. However, we weren't interested in throwing a "typical" wedding or having "typical" wedding pictures: a bridal party jumping up and down, pictures of our rings in flowers, pictures of our shoes, etc. Our wedding was to include an Indian ceremony, a session of story-telling, a sign language interpreter, and a bingo game involving popcorn. Our wedding was far from traditional. So, what we really wanted were more candid shots that showed the important people in our lives during the event, their personalities, and how we interacted with them. All of the photographers we searched in Madison had wonderful pictures, but they were a little too traditional for us, so we started asking around. A family member had a friend named Max Wendt, a professional photographer who focused on the performing arts. We looked at his portfolio, were impressed, and contacted him. Unfortunately, he had never shot a wedding before. We explained to him what we were looking for, and he agreed. He said that if he were to shoot a wedding, ours would be the kind of wedding that he would like to photograph. We met with him while we were briefly in town, and he showed us an expanded portfolio that even included pictures he had taken of his own family. We negotiated back and forth quite a bit about the contract, the price and method of payment, and the event times (ours was a 2-day wedding). Everything was over email (and across the country), and we found Max to be professional, flexible, and very willing to listen to our concerns and suggestions. We modified the contract to a degree that satisfied all of us. As the wedding approached, Max began asking us questions over email. He had been to visit our wedding site, and had suggestions about the best place and set up for the pictures. His suggestions were great, and we agreed to many of them, but we didn't feel pressured to change things around if we didn't want to. Max showed up to the events on both days early, and stayed late. We wanted him to take a few posed pictures of the two of us, as well as immediate family, and he found a wonderful spot at both locations for those pictures. As a good photographer should be, he was discreet and we barely noticed him as he worked. Although a self-proclaimed "perfectionist," Max was extremely friendly, easy-going, and pleasant to work with. At our smaller ceremony, friends of ours actually struck up conversations and tried to take pictures of HIM, as if he were a friend we had invited to the wedding. That's when I knew we had made the right choice - because it just felt like he belonged at the events. A month later we returned from our honeymoon and met with him to see our pictures. Not only was the color and quality fantastic, but he had captured the event and the personalities of our friends and family so perfectly. Some of my favorite things about his pictures: facial expressions of our friends and family that showed their personalities; adorable photos of the many young children we had at our wedding, doing adorable things; the funny and sweet interactions between my husband and I; funny and goofy pictures of us and our guests that encompassed the relaxed and easy-going nature that we wanted to have at our wedding. This event was a learning process for both Max and us. There were a few things that I wanted in the pictures that I didn't even know I wanted until they were missing, such as different interactions with specific friends, and reactions from our crowd of guests at certain moments. But I could tell Max did his best trying to get everyone in the room - a daunting task. Max also mentioned that there were a few things that he would change, and had made a list of suggestions for each bride and groom in the future. I think these will enhance his photos even more. Max did exceptional work at our wedding that was just the right amount of "out of the box" for us, and we're really happy we chose him.
