I'm a repeat customer and I cannot tell you how impressed I am with John Andrada Photography. He is…read moretruly a skilled photographer and takes time with his artistry to craft the perfect look for you. I've worked with several photographers in NYC and DC in the past, and usually, they will rush you, take a few shots, and deliver ho-hum photos. Not John though, and that's what sets him apart from others. The first headshot from several months ago is amazing and I still get compliments. I came back for the branding package for my website(s), and I'm thoroughly excited by the results. I just got them the photos today, and I could not wait to write a review. The professionalism, the quality, and artistry are impeccable. John is a specialist with lighting and gives you slight direction to get the right pose needed for your photo. The result is a photograph that stands the tests of time and stands out from the crowd. He is an artistic genius, funny, and pleasant to work with. A true superstar if you ask me. I couldn't be more pleased.

Anna was a delight to work with and made it very easy to schedule our newborn photo shoot, which…read morecan be challenging given that nobody really knows when baby will come and most say photos are best before baby hits 10 days old--at which time they can be more fussy and less sleepy. :) Scheduling and filling out the release and contract was easy--I was able to sign everything on my phone in advance--very convenient when you are recovering and don't want to get on a computer. When we arrived, Anna was all set up, the space was warmed, outfits we discussed and props were ready to go, and she met us with hand sanitizer and was double masked. Anna asked that we wait to feed baby until we arrived so we would have a big sleepy window. We did and she was patient for this, and the needed diaper change! We also learned that she is a doula and extremely experienced with babies in all aspects of her life. Once baby drifted to sleep, Anna began getting her changed and into different scenes quickly. We had only planned for 1-2 hours (to get baby home and back in bed--but I was also still tired and recovering) and in just shy of two hours we did seven different outfits/backgrounds. Overall, this was an excellent experience and we were also allowed to take photos while she took some--which I appreciated because I could give family a preview...and I can't stop swiping through them! Looking forward to receiving the gallery from Anna and to our next session with her!

We hired Anna Isaiko and Olena Nykytovych as a photographers for our wedding that took place on…read moreOctober 22nd. Unfortunately, my husband and I are very disappointed with a quality of their job. We paid for 5 hours of their work: ceremony at the church, and reception afterwards. The pictures from the church turned out to be okay - there are nice pictures of two of us and a pastor during the ceremony, however there is no good group pictures with families and friends after the ceremony. When we were posing together with families, photographers did not make any comments regarding the postures and how everyone looked - we ended to have zero photos were all people are (at least) looking in one camera. We thought that if they don't make any comments, then everything looks good. However it turned out to be the opposite.. We'd think that professional photographers would want to take the best shot they could, but unfortunately, not in this case. The reception was in beautiful barn at Clyde's Willow Creek in Ashburn. The lighting in the barn is intimate and warm, also there was a fire place. Absolutely ALL pictures from the reception are low quality, grainy, and out of focus. We were posing in front of the fire place with the guests who wanted pictures with the couple, and were planning on printing out these pictures and sending them along with the 'thank you' cards. However, the quality of these pictures ruined our plans. We had only 35 guests on our wedding, everyone who was there is valuable and important person to us. As any couple at their wedding day we wanted to capture the priceless moments in pictures and share them with our friends and family. However, the poor job of photographers ruined this. Instead of apologizing and trying to resolve this situation the photographers said that the lighting on the reception was dull and tried to blame our guests that they were complaining about the flash that photographers used (they had only one small flash with them). Also, they were taking video and made a short (2-minutes) one for us as a present and tried to sell us longer video for $900. We did not hire them to take videos, and it seems that they put more efforts in taking the video than the pictures and now trying to upsell us the long video to get more profit (on top of the price that we paid for 5 hours of their work). The topping in this situation is that after I tried to talk to Anna and send her texts I was blocked without any response. When my husband and I called her from a different number she replied but then hung up on us while we were still talking. This disrespectful and rude behavior shocked us! I never leave bad reviews, but in this situation I do not have another choice. We paid 100% upfront, were easy to work with, and got bad pictures and unacceptable customer service as a result. Please don't work with this photographer if you don't want low-quality event pictures, poor customer service, and if you don't like to be treated in absolutely disgraceful, disrespectful manner.

Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

During the photoshoots, Saoussen is really great at capturing beautiful moments without feeling overwhelming or staged at all.
