Talking with Katy was so easy, it was like talking to a friend I had not spoken to in a long time. We clicked right away and it was settled - she was going to capture the memories of my wedding. We planned an engagement photoshoot and the wedding. The engagement photoshoot was so much fun, she is so great at directing you to capture the best moments - when I got the preview back, I knew I made the right decision. Her style of photography is bright, colorful and candid - I absolutely love that about her. Fast forward a couple years after the wedding - Katy has photographed my pregnancy announcement and my maternity. I have loved every single gallery. I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Katy, but if you are looking for a photographer, I highly suggest Katy. She is just absolutely amazing and I know you will love her just as much as I do.

The photos we got were great. It was really difficult to choose the best ones…read more Before the session, Natalia asked for the favorite colors and prepared the props for the photos. However, I could change any color and any props while there and the selection she had in the studio was very big. And what's most important, she was amazing with my newborn. As a first time parent, I was so stressed out that my boy wouldn't behave, but she was so patient with him that there were no issues. And we were there for a few hours! As for Covid, the studio was spotless clean. We had to wash our hands, take of shoes and wear the masks all the time.

We live in San Francisco and my wife was planning on celebrating my birthday a month early in Bethesda since my Mom and several sibling live there. I wanted to make sure we captured not only the birthday celebration, but those special moments as a family---since we hadn't been together in 15 years. I did a web search and reviewed numerous photographers in the DC area and visited their portfolios on their websites. Margarita "MGR Photography" caught my attention because my initials are "MGR" and her artistic skills telling stories. During the entire engagement Margarita was great! I would highly recommend MGR Photography for any special occasion, celebrations or family milestone. Margarita tells the story and captures the moments to cherish forever.

We've had two family reunion sessions now (and hope to continue this annual tradition) where Margarita has come to our home and taken beautiful photos of three generations of our family. She is absolutely wonderful- kind and energetic with the kids, thoughtful in making everyone comfortable and very happy to adapt as needed. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, you can stop your searching and just contact MGR Photography now!

A few years ago I found Naz on Yelp. Her colorful pictures really caught my eye but I couldn't get…read moremy husband to agree on hiring her. He felt like we couldn't afford her prices. When the next opportunity arrived,I went ahead and booked her. It was a rare moment of being thankful for spam emails. (After not hiring her, i would get emails of mini sessions.) What I've learned after 4 babies, is that a good photographer is worth the price. Moments float by quickly and the next best thing to a time machine is a great photo. In the end, Naz is not expensive. She is upfront with her prices. Other photographers can either be subpar or will up sell you once their session is over. I will tell you that I hate pictures and am very critical in the way I look in them. I was surprised at how great i looked. My oldest has the most unnatural smile, kid #3 thinks he's funny and will do the opposite of what you ask and the baby hates strangers. I thought it was going to be the worse day ever. But on a chilly december day, naz had the best idea to meet at the national gallery of art.easy access to bathrooms and we ate lunch in the cafeteria. She was so great and provided a smooth experience. Driving home my husband obviously forgot who naz was and asked if she was someone I knew from before. Apparently he thought we were high school buddies because of our interaction. Plus I hate new ppl just like the baby. I received my usb pictures today. It's amazing how she captured all the personalities of 4 kids so perfectly.her pictures show love and happiness. She's absolutely amazing.

I can't rave enough about Contempo Kids Photography. It took almost a year from when I first…read morecontacted Naz to us actually having our photo shoot (delays in scheduling all stemming from me, including a couple of last minute cancellations), and over the course of that time, Naz was beyond flexible, gracious, professional and accommodating. She worked with me to narrow down our location and vision (I was scattered and had a lot of conflicting ideas) -- all with patience, calm and a steadiness that made me feel super confident with our final plan. Did I mention, I kept changing my mind on everything...?! Naz is super creative, personable and has a magnetic presence that makes you feel completely at ease. Even my super wiggly, active and spazzy 2-year old (who, at the time, was a late walker and just getting a handle on moving around on his own) sat still for and gravitated toward the camera. And, with BIG smiles! I couldn't believe it. She has a sharp and very keen eye and was able to capture our family's true essence perfectly. So much so that it took me forever to narrow down on the photos. Hire her, you won't regret for a second! I've never worked with a photographer twice, but I'll be using Naz over and over again in the future. She's the real deal and really delivers.

Deedee managed to please my 2 year old, and what better review could you ask for! She captured our sweet family and all of our personalities while creating a happy memory at the same time. HIRE HER.

She's also super sweet with our kids.

I couldn't recommend Deedee more highly!

Hiring a photographer was one of the most time-intensive and somewhat stressful vendor research we…read moredid for our wedding as we were very choosy about who would do this big job for us- possibly the most important one- with photos that last a lifetime and beyond. After lots of emails with different vendors, we came across Winnie and knew she was the one. We are SO glad we chose her for our very special wedding shots. Winnie is multitalented in her wedding photography- she is extremely organized and timely, straightforward and to the point, sweet and humble, and most importantly, will without a doubt deliver the AMAZING SHOTS! Our wedding morning was a little stressful as we were down a hair artist (one called out sick and our lackluster company did not send a replacement artist) and we were also dealing with unpredictable weather with small spouts of thunderstorms rolling through with potential to wreak havoc on our gorgeous garden venue. Because Winnie had built in lots of buffer time into the timeline as she knows things always happen/take longer than expected, she was able to keep us right. on. schedule. throughout the whole day. I can't imagine what could have happened if we hadn't had an extremely organized photographer to bear with all of the craziness and still get all of the shots that we wanted. Winnie didn't miss a beat- she worked between the short passing storms to get everything we wanted in all of the outdoor spots we wanted and she kept a calm demeanor throughout. I can tell what a master she is in her work with the lighting she kept chasing and directing her team so gracefully throughout the day. She even shuttled us around the venue grounds in air conditioning to avoid the wet grounds after the rain as well as the oppressive humidity. Winnie is the kind of artful photographer that bends her creativity and works flexibly with whatever variables she is given to not only get the job done right, but get it done MASTERFULLY. Putting your trust in her is the best thing you can do- all she needs you to do is pose and smile where and how she tells you to. She was also amazing in directing our friends and family in what to do in the photos as they were hot messes in the humidity and excitement of the day! When we opened our sneak peeks the morning after (!!!), we teared up and kept borderline-screaming about how incredible our photos came out. I am not exaggerating when I say many looked like we could be on the front of a bridal magazine. Winnie combined perfect lighting, gorgeous backdrops, artful framing, and intentional directing of us to create the most stunning photos of us that we will cherish forever. We are beyond thrilled with how ALL of our photos turned out and can't wait to frame many of them. We have already gotten sooooo many compliments from family and friends about how incredible our photos are. Winnie, we can't thank you enough for giving us even MORE than we expected on what could have been a very stressful day! You made our dreams come true. HIRE WINNIE!!!

We found Winnie through Yelp, began browsing her gallery, immediately loved the asthetic and style…read moreof her photos, and were so fortunate that Winnie had an opening in her schedule for us. We could not have asked for a better person, let alone photographer, to help make our wedding complete. From our introductory meeting all the way through to our post-ceremony wedding album creation, Winnie has been exceptionally helpful, pointing out the "little things" that we hadn't been thinking about but always get you later, providing advice to both of us on everything color palettes to flower arrangements, even going so far as to help us bring clarity to the schedule for our wedding day, figuring out how to take advantage of the light and venues, balanced with our wedding ceremony and reception, keeping the whole day running smoothly and efficiently. Winnie is always prepared and always punctual. She comes with ideas, however, also wants to hear from you and tailor each experience to what you want. The experience of being "posed" for photos and trying to act natural in front of the camera can be a bit of an uncomfortable experience for anyone but Winnie makes it very fun and enjoyable. She gets you to laugh and loosen up and she works very creatively with the environment around you to get interesting and different shots that don't look forced or fake. We highly recommend Winnie and look forward to working with her again in the future!
