We had a phenomenal experience with Michelle today. We booked the newborn session which also…read moreincluded family photos and sibling photos. She is professional, extremely pleasant and friendly. She is SO patient. My newborn was wide awake before the shoot started and she took her time...(2 hours or more) helping me get the baby to sleep (mixture of me nursing and Michelle swaying/singing to baby). Eventually baby fell into deep sleep and we got excellent, I mean excellent pictures. For the moms out there, Michelle has everything you need. She even thought of things that I never ever ever thought she would have (for example: a boppy pillow for nursing, space heater to keep newborn warm, white noise on blast to help soothe infant !). She is so very thoughtful. Michelle is a down to earth professional and I wish we could have had this experience with our first baby. Or even for our wedding or maternity photos. We found her late, but better late than never! She did just move to the area from washington earlier this year. The price is affordable for all the detail and time she takes with her clients. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Michelle!!

If you want a masterclass in how to be an exceptional human in your profession, passion, and in…read morelife, please pick David. He instantly becomes your friend and captures your most special and intimate wedding moments with such grace and such ease. His work is the best I've seen in the industry, and we honestly feel so lucky to have met him and been able to work with him - both for our engagement shoot in White Sands National Park, and for our Hindu wedding outside of Santa Fe, NM. From a professional standpoint, he provides clear and comfortable art direction when needed to give you your dream shot. When he's taking candids, he's blending in, even dancing on the dance floor with your guests, and still capturing gorgeous shots from a first-person perspective. On a personal note, we really just loved David's company. He went out of his way to spend days on site with us and get to know our friends and families. Our wedding guests would not stop commenting about how much they loved David and what a good soul he is. He deserves every bit of praise and we really can't wait for another opportunity to work with him again!

I don't have a figuer of a model so that was one of my insecurites but talking with Britt and seeing how she made her clients feel before during and after the boudoir session I was like OK I'll go for it!... and It was a great experience. Britt is wonderful and super upbeat and makes you feel totally comfortable. She's really professional and has a wonderful bubbly personality that just makes you feel super comfortable and confident. You can tell this is her passion! and that's what I love about her too. The pictures turned out beautiful and just made me feel beautiful. I think every woman no matter the age or size should experience this. It's a confidence booster and it's just something fun to do for you and/or your significant other. Falling Star Boudoir is the best! I have told all my girlfriends about it!!! I've worked with Britt as her makeup artist for the shoot and let me just say she's a great person that loves what she does. And she has a great heart. I love her and her work! So glad I met her and so HAPPY I did the Boudoir session with her. If you're thinking about doing it stop thinking just do it! believe me you wont regret it!

The good, the bad, and the review…read more.. We used Kevin's for our wedding in September of 2014. They are fairly expensive, but we wanted to splurge on pictures because we felt they were very important. We got a lot of great pictures, don't get me wrong. However, we got zero close up face photos and zero pictures of our hands with our rings. Overall, the pictures that were taken were great, and a few were very exceptional at the Botanic Gardens. I did have to tell the photographer, (not Kevin) that we were "for sure" doing photos from across the water (this is the reason we chose Kevin's in the first place) even though he disagreed with me about it at first after our ceremony and during our couple shoot. I'm so glad we did because these turned out to be our favorite pictures of the day. Maybe he traded any close up pictures for across the water pictures in his mind time wise? He could have been stressed about time since we were running behind schedule. I will definitely take the blame for that one, though I'm sure most weddings run slightly behind schedule. I am disappointed that I don't have close up face pictures of me and my hubby on our special day. Also, I'll I don't have a traditional picture of our hands together with rings. I was hoping for some more artistic touches and special, quiet, romantic, serious moments. There were no plays on black and white with one color in the editing or anything like that. However, the across the water pictures are absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. I have mixed emotions about this review. Both exceptional photos, yet some missed moments also. I'm sure it's nearly impossible to remember everything in a limited amount of time. A HUGE plus is that the photographer was very kind, fun and made our bridal party and family feel relaxed... Especially during the reception. As a tip for any wedding photographer, I would definitely write down the EXACT photos you want in advance so you aren't left without something that's important to you. It's something you won't think of on your special day and you rely on the photographer to call most of the shots. There is stress on the photographer as well, so some things can just be forgotten. We didn't get to meet with our specific photographer to discuss what photos we really wanted before our wedding day. I did chat with him over the phone, but I should have been more proactive about meeting with him in person. Overall, some very exceptional photos and a good experience.

Once we got the proofs back, we knew this is who we would hire for our wedding. What I really love about Kevin is how daring and creative he is.

We ended up with the most iconic wedding photo ever on top of the banquet loft building in downtown Albuquerque (photo attached). I highly recommend Kevin and his team.
