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!

From a behind the scenes standpoint I highly recommend Maira Ochoa Photography. She is easy to…read morecommunicate with making for a smooth ceremony experience. She always does a great job capturing candid shots, posed photos and details. 5 stars!

Maira is the real deal. When you're thinking of the perfect photos taken with care and precision-…read moreyou're thinking of Yosmaira Ochoa Photography. I hired her for a family photo and she did not disappoint. Anybody can take a photo. However, Maira can capture the essence of a person she has known but for a moment. She arrived early. She started taking photos before the scheduled time we had paid for. Maira is a true professional who is gifted to photograph people. The finished photos were returned in a timely fashion. I would definitely hire her again. I recommend her services without reservation.

Do not hire Kristen. We paid for Kristen's newborn package which is supposed to include four photo…read moresessions. The first session went ok though it took longer than I expected to receive the order. Kristen did the second session, and we sent her our order with the check... and then did not receive our photos. After a month went by I spent well over a month trying to reach her through email, phone messages, and through her website. She never bothered to respond to any of my attempts to contact her, so effectively Kristen has pocketed money that she hasn't earned for three photo sessions. Working with Kristen is a huge waste of money and effort, you are better off with a more professional photographer.

I was so nervous that I was no longer young and beautiful like your typical first time bride...NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Marsha, my now wife, and I held a practice session to get rid of the jitters and to learn how to pose. We were so comfortable that we booked a portrait session the morning of our wedding. We have more gorgeous photos than we have wall space. Luckily, Marsha also creates amazing electronic albums.

This photographer chooses which photos to edit and present to the client, which is her prerogative,…read morebut she presented us with numerous pictures of our 4 year old with an unflattering fake smile. If I had taken those pictures I would've deleted them, and why a professional photographer would give those to a client boggles the mind. When I expressed concern to her she (1) asked me to send pictures if him with a normal smile and (2) offered to edit 5 more images at an additional cost if $25. I saw the additional unedited images that I could choose to have edited for an additional cost and several were much better than the ones with the fake smile. However, I refuse to spend extra money. She should have taken better pictures to begin with and/or chosen her best photos to edit and present to the client.
