What stood out most was how comfortable she made the process. I didn't expect to actually enjoy getting headshots, but she created a relaxed, easygoing environment that made it surprisingly fun. That really comes through in the final images. The photos feel authentic and polished without being overly staged. She had a great ability to capture "me" while still delivering a professional result. I would absolutely work with her again, and plan to for family photos in the future. Highly recommend.

We received incredible pictures within 7 days. HIRE KITTA - seriously, you won't regret it.

This review is long overdue!…read more We hired Mhari earlier this year to take photos of our wedding reception. We'd gotten married in a friend's backyard a few months previous, but wanted to have a party for friends & family, and really had no idea about what we needed to do. Mhari came highly recommended, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mhari took time to explain to us all the different options, what we could expect, and reminded us of stuff that we might have forgotten otherwise. She and her assistant showed up early, and were so unobtrusive, that people didn't realize she was there most of the time. We have some awesome "in the moment" photos that came out of the event, just genuine people having a good time. It came time for our personal photos, and we were whisked away to a few private areas of the grounds for the photos. Mhari is quite visionary, and can tell just from the mood and feel how things should work out. Even though our photos were "set up", they don't have a staged feel at all. One last bit... I absolutely hate having my picture taken - like many people do. But the thing is, Mhari was able to capture us in the moment, and I absolutely adore the pictures she took of us - even of me. Because we had such a good experience, and because neither of us have the gift that Mhari has, we asked her to put together a wedding book for us. She ran with it, and it came out perfect. Thank you, Mhari, for the incredible work, and for making our day memorable!

Mhari was a pleasure to work with, and we couldn't be happier with our photos!…read more Our wedding photographer criteria: professional and friendly, timeless photo-journalism style, allows us to own the digital copies of our images for distribution as we please for a super reasonable price. Mhari met this criteria and more! Professionalism & Personality: Mhari was so easy to work with from the moment I contacted her, and she made me and my wedding party feel so at ease on the big day. I was 100% confident in her ability to capture all of our special moments. We felt like she was part of our group that day, and really enjoyed her company. I wish she would just take LONGER editing our photos so that I would have more reasons to keep reaching out to her :). Style: She doesn't over-process your photos with tons of blur/fade/Instagram-esque effects that so many photographers are using these days. Instead, you get clear, crisp, beautiful images that showcase your best self, not an airbrushed Photoshop version of yourself that will feel dated in a few years. Also, she took so many amazing candid photos that bring back the happy memories of our wedding and really capture the excitement and emotions of the day! Photo Ownership & Price: Mhari fit within our budget (around $3k), and made it really easy to add extra hours the day of. We also loved that for such a reasonable price, we own all the digital images (so many good photos!) and can post them as we please. So many photographers we looked at have weird rules about digital photo ownership. I love that she created an online gallery, sent me a zip file, and sent me a physical drive of the photos! She also got our photos back to us about a month after the wedding--I've seen it take much longer for friends who worked with other photographers, and I know she took a lot of care in editing our images. I absolutely recommend working with Mhari if you're in the Portland or Seattle area. She's a fantastic photographer and an all-around likeable, cool, funny, friendly gal!

She was professional and affordable. Finding a photographer that was willing to come out to Pacific City and Cape Kawanda from Portland was no easy task, but we are so happy we found her. She was easy to work with, very responsive during the booking process and I would definitely recommend her to others in the area. One of the really standout features was how well she got along with the rest of the wedding party. She made sure to get photos of all the families and couples. I really look forward to being able to give my guests professional photo of themselves. She was also very accommodating as we had a huge family photo and that was like herding cats. She just knew how to do everything without seeming like a big deal. Her easy demeanor made everything else flow smoothly. big thanks from Kristen and Dave

She has done both for me and I love the designs she has created. It's like getting the symbolism and beauty of an ink tattoo without having to look at it permanently for the rest of my life. They last a couple of weeks if you take care of them (she gives great information about caring for your henna design to help it look good and last as long as possible.) I live part time in India where henna designs are done on hands as part of wedding festivities. Veronica at Hennatopia does some of the traditional India wedding designs, but she also has more Arabic style patterns available (I like them best myself) as well as modern designs, symbols and even some pretty cool Steam Punk images! This is reminding me that I need to get some henna done again soon. It really is kind of addicting to have pretty, decorative art that changes with time and reflects your current mood. A lot of her stuff is done with essential oils and even smells wonderful (but she has scent free henna available too apparently.) I highly recommend henna and Hennatopia in particular if you're in the Portland area! You get lots of positive comments and complements when people see your lovely designs and it makes you feel super special!
