Ellie Asher Photography is amazing in every sense of the word. Her and her partner in crime Will do…read morefantastic work. From the moment I contacted her as a possible photographer for my wedding I knew this was who I wanted, and trusted for my big day. Her style is what I would describe as whimsical and magical, somehow finding the perfect of incorporating natural surroundings and the people who are in the shot--making everything seem like something straight out on a PNW fairytale. Before we officially booked with Ellie my fiance and I met her for coffee. We had a nice chat about what we thought was important to capture for our wedding. She completely understood what we wanted to focus on, and her vibe was one that put us at ease. Immediately we knew that if we booked with Ellie we wouldn't have to worry about anything. Business-wise Ellie is very responsive. She got back to me right away every time I had a question about anything. For engagement photos she sent me a email that had helpful suggestions and hints in terms of ideas to wear, and what to expect for day. She also walked the venue with us and got the input of a few different locations that we would like to have pictures taken at. Working with both Ellie and Will have been fantastic and I can honestly refer them to anyone needing photography of any kind.

If you need family photos, someone to document your wedding, birth or wedding announcement photos,…read morephotos of my dog, photos of ANYTHING, Kara is the photographer to go to. Hands down, she's did a great job photographing our wedding. Before Jesse and I were engaged, I'd seem some of Kara's photos and knew she was the girl to talk to whenever we needed any photos taken. She takes great photos, and more importantly, is a very delightful person. Upon getting engaged, we knew Kara would be the photographer for our wedding. We were so thrilled we decided to have her at our wedding! She did a great job of blending into the background and documenting our event without being obtrusive. The portraits from our wedding were my favorite photos-some of just my husband and I, some of us with our families, and us with our wedding party. They turned out really fun (and some included our dog!) and really captured the fun we were having with our wedding, and the fun our guests had as well. If you need a photographer for anything, call Kara-she is fantastic, and also very reasonably priced.

On a rainy November afternoon, Kara came over to take photos of our new puppy. At the wee age of…read more10 weeks, our pup was timid and spent the first part of the day hiding under our couch, creating what could have been a pretty awkward and frustrating situation for any photographer. Without any hesitation, Kara got down on our hardwood floors, flat on her stomach, and started shooting from there. I was amazed at how she was willing to do anything it took to get shots she felt proud of and we loved. A dog person herself, Kara was great with our puppy and it was her easy going attitude and positive energy that got Lulu to feel more comfortable. We went on a walk around our neighborhood and Kara captured all that amazing puppy cuteness that I thought was going to be impossible to translate into photos. Kara was creative with ideas and helped me coax Lulu into great "poses" on a park bench, at the top of our stairs, and relaxed on the sidewalk amidst the leaves. It was such a fun day and I could tell Kara enjoyed it too--this girl loves photography, no matter what. Kara made the impossible possible. We now have eternal documentation of a time that flew by. Having her take photos of our little Lulu was such a great decision and I hope other people seek her out for their own precious furry friends, babies, or events in their lives!

Her guidance made me feel so much more comfortable with my camera and helped me understand how to make the photos I captured the best they could be during the editing process. Investing in Alonya's help is one of the best things I've done for myself in years, and I would encourage anyone who loves their camera but feels a bit nervous, hesitant, or confused to just reach out to Alonya already! Since completing our mentorship sessions, I have had the confidence to offer photoshoots to complete strangers! I walked up to a mother and her baby in the park and offered to take photos on the spot. She said yes and loved the pictures I sent her later. And just the other day, I did a photoshoot for a woman and her elderly dog, and she was so appreciative of the experience and the captured memories. Now, I feel more confident than ever about my ability to make a positive impact with my photography. Thank you, Alonya, for all your wisdom and support.
