From the beginning, she was punctual, polite, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She gave us guidance when we needed it and helped us think through different ideas and themes, while still giving us the freedom to be creative and make everything feel like us. That balance made the entire experience feel natural instead of overly staged. We also really appreciated that our time with Kara never felt rushed. She was patient, organized, and somehow managed to help us accomplish a lot while still making the experience enjoyable. On a day that can already feel like it is moving a hundred miles an hour, that made a huge difference. And, most importantly, the pictures turned out incredible. She captured not only the big moments, but the personality and emotion behind them. Looking through the photos feels like getting to experience parts of our wedding day all over again. Kara is talented, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely cares about the people she is photographing. We are incredibly grateful that she was part of our wedding and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a photographer.

Absolutely wonderful experience and quality photos. I've already done two three hour sessions and…read morewill definitely use her again!

My husband and I were married in July and we were lucky to be referred to Jason. He was seriously…read morethe PERFECT photographer for us. He is very responsive, easy-going, sweet, relaxed, and a TREMENDOUS photographer. I'm not joking, we had dozens of people tell us that ours were the best wedding photos they have ever seen. And I give that credit to Jason - I mean we looked cute, but were not best-wedding-photos ever cute;) Thanks, Jason!

I actually work with Jason quite a bit. That is, I'm also a photographer and he is THEE person I…read morerefer people to when I'm already booked. He's kind and funny and very skilled in working both with natural light and, perhaps more importantly, artificial light. He has a wonderful way of capturing humor and humanity that I really, truly admire and I'm so glad to have such a professional and reliable cohort in the photography community!

I hired Michael and his photo booth setup for my husband's birthday party. It was an absolute hit…read more Communication was great from beginning to end and Michael is a fantastic professional. Our guests absolutely adored the photo booth. The quality of the prints and props were amazing. I had multiple people come up to me to express how much they liked the booth.

Year 2 for our photos with Krampus. Thanks to Michael Gary Photography, who, this year, teamed up…read morewith Shwop, a fabulous second hand retail enterprise in the Sellwood District. Hard to explain, really, but it's like having a really talented family create fun memories with a "mythical" creature from folklore, surrounded by laughter, dogs and smiling babies. Professional, kind and most of all, efficient!! The candles and t-shirts were a nice addition to spend a little holiday dough ! Cannot wait till next year when my whole fam-damily attends! Did I mention they print your photo right there and email the digital copy at midnight the same day??!!! For really, really reasonable prices! Go. Get a picture with Krampus. Dress weird. Bring your dog and great grandchildren!

I'm so glad I found Liz Wade Photography! Liz recently did my son's senior pictures and they turned…read moreout so great! Not only are the pictures lovely, but Liz is wonderful to work with! It's easy to schedule and pay, the pricing is clearcut so you know exactly what you are paying for, and she is great with communication throughout the process. My son is kind of shy, but she was able to put him at ease and get some great shots. I am so pleased with the quality of the photos and the experience we had with Liz. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your family or senior pictures!

Technology Association of Oregon used Jason DeSomer to photograph two events in 2016 - Oregon…read moreTechnology Awards in May and Party in the Pinot in July. We were blown away by his shots. His images capture the spirit of our events and eliminate the contrived photos that are typical of awards ceremonies and outdoor events. He is extremely professional, and non-intrusive while interacting with guests. He captures the moment at our events in so many different ways we can't quite figure out how he got from here to there in that amount of time - but its impressive. And he provides our photos quickly so we can send them out to our community in a timely manner. In 2017 we booked early to lock down those two events, and two more our Kickoff Party in January and Kickball Tournament in August. When planning events you are always looking for great vendors who, in addition to providing stellar service, make your life easier the day of the big event. Jason DeSomer does this, and I can't recommend his services enough.

Jason was everything I was looking for in a photographer, and more!…read more I was searching for a photographer online and Jason's work stood out to me because he has an eye for great camera angles and subject placement, and his photos were very crisp and clear with great lighting and editing (something I found lacking in many others' portfolios). When I emailed him, his quotes were clear and reasonable, and he outlined everything in detail. I was modeling some outfits for a photo shoot in my house. Thankfully, Jason had a lot of great ideas for posing and I already knew the photos would turn out amazing! (I've done shoots with other photographers where I was given no direction and most of the photos came out awkward or meh). I was very happy with the shoot and the photos I received. I would definitely work with Jason again, and recommend him to anyone needing quality photos!

I've decided to add an example due to her response. The emails she is referring to includes the…read morenormal contract emails and picking from her options of what place to do it at. The others is the editing style trying to get it to become more of what I saw on her page and she says she made sure I was happy when it was very clear I was not. I could post our emails but despite what she thinks I'm not trying to destroy a small business, but I'm trying to make sure people understand what they will get because I don't have the money to spend on multiple photographer. After her response I no longer feel like two stars were worth it :(

She had 2 locations that were both beautiful and was very open about scheduling. Kept in contact through the whole process and explained each step.
