Phil was our videographer for our wedding this past weekend and he was such a pleasure to work…read morewith! He was extremely responsive from the very beginning and walked us through everything during the prep call a few weeks ago. He is there to capture all the real moments of the day. It's crazy because he has this ability to just kind of blend in so you don't even notice he is there, but he's able to capture everything. He also worked great with our photographers. As part of the videography package we purchased, we are supposed to receive a 1 minute preview within a week of our wedding day. Phil delivered it in just a few days and it is absolutely beautiful! We are so excited to see the full collection! I would recommend Phil and his team to anyone who is looking for a videographer!

Somehow he managed to go unseen and be everywhere all at the same time. He captured so many special moments and details - intuitively he knew exactly what mattered most.

Together they captured our day perfectly, my husband and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

Bottom line up front-- BK Rose is Best in Class nation-wide and peerless...keeping up with trends…read moreand best practices etc. is what gets you booked. All stop. That means doing your homework. I'll help you out with gusto, just as so many have helped me as I got started on my own journey. Being on point on your self marketing, especially when you are non-represented, is non-negotiable. Failing to be professional with what casting directors demand is a roadblock. Submissions are "make or break" power moves. THE ODDS ARE AGAINST the apex storybook discovery tales of rarities like JLAW, Michele Pfeiffer, Charlize Theron etc. so if you expect that to be your way in...it's not reality. I get cast and work in these markets: NYC (Netflix movies), Atlanta (Marvel/ABC), and Mid-Atlantic (Apple TV). I am new to the business (three years in) but I have been building a resume over time and there is no way I am going to compromise because I take my career seriously. There is no slack given in a highly competitive industry with a dearth of roles and a surplus of talent. SO...if you want to crack the code, get seen, get call backs, get booked then there is no better photographer for any amount of money than BK Rose and Kat is my Queen. I get work in commercials, major motion pictures, network tv shows because of her. Fact! Every single person I ask that plays a role in getting cast (when I am lucky enough to get employment) has singled out my headshots as what is working for me to get my foot in the door. BK Rose unequivocally is worth the plane ticket, drive time, train time, mule riding time (you name it) to get quality content and ultimately get BOOKED. Not 10 out of 10 -- 100 out of 10!

We used Kat to do family/newborn photos when we had our 2nd child. We hadn't done family photos…read morebefore and Kat was so patient and helpful with answering all the questions I had and letting me try on outfits she had in the client wardrobe to see if anything would work for me before the photoshoot. She had some beautiful options but I ended up going with a dress of my own. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! We received our pictures within 2 days of our photoshoot and they are nothing short of incredible. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and stunning they look. I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!

In setting up our photo…read moreshoot she was willing to come to a location of our choice and was very flexible about picking a day and time. My husband and I have a two year old and a 7 month old, so the photo session was a challenge. April took the time to get the great shots, even though this took quite awhile with my little boys. She was more then willing to stay for as long as needed to get the pictures we wanted. She worked very well with our two little boys. I was very happy and pleased with the end product. The pictures are phenomenal. The Chicago city background was a success! I would highly recommend April to anybody looking for a family photographer or a photographer for any occasion!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Doru and the senior photos he took of my daughter at…read moreLoyola University! From the moment we met him, he put my daughter at ease with his friendly demeanor and clear direction. Doru has an incredible eye for capturing both the iconic Loyola campus spots and finding unique, unexpected settings that made my daughter's photos truly stand out. He knew exactly how to work with the natural light and architecture to create stunning compositions that perfectly captured this milestone in her life. What impressed me most was how he balanced professionalism with making the session fun and relaxed. My daughter isn't usually comfortable in front of the camera, but Doru's encouragement and gentle guidance brought out her authentic smile and personality in every shot. The turnaround time was impressive, and when we received the final gallery, we were absolutely blown away. The quality, variety, and emotional impact of these photos exceeded all our expectations. We've received countless compliments on them from family and friends. If you're looking for a senior photographer who goes above and beyond to create beautiful, meaningful images that you'll treasure forever, Doru is absolutely the person to call. We're already planning to book him for our younger child's senior photos!
