My son is a rainbow blur. I have so many photos of him and me smiling at each other and hanging…read morearound our favorite places. I adore these photos, but as his third birthday approached, my heart was searching for something different. He's not a "sit and smile" kinda boy. He's wild and colorful.. a rainbow that injects creativity into my life. His personality is hard to put into words, but I can SEE it, and I wanted someone to capture *that*. Kelly was the photographer who captured his rainbow blur. Before she arrived, she already had a vision in her head.. a couple of times, I heard her talking through the ideas she had thoughtfully written down. I'm curious as to when those ideas entered her mind.. I dunno! But that's the beauty.. she's clearly inspired by her own lens and life, and she injects that perspective into her fine art photo sessions. She has a plan and a vision, and you just know you're in the hand of an artist. During the session, my son would not sit still. But that's ok, there wasn't any pressure for him to do so. I felt beautiful throughout, even as my body jumped back and forth from strength to defeat as Bruno ran wild.. and despite the intermittent chaos, Kelly took the time to gently guide me into random patches of light that looked simply ethereal in the final edits. Without knowing it, she captured a photo that contained a photo of my late father in the background.. so he was there, and perhaps he was in the light, too? I dunno, but the photos represent more than a happy morning with my son.. they encompass our dance and our blurs and the push-and-pull of our hearts and bodies moving together. They are art. Always an honor to have Kelly and her cameras into our home, and I would recommend her for anyone wanting photos that will live for centuries in albums and prints.. photos that will be traced by the hands of your kids and grandkids.. photos that will help us better understand love and light. Thank you, Kelly!

We couldn't be more happy with June Lion! Kelly has made us comfortable in every photo session…read morewe've had with her. From our engagement, to our wedding, to now a remote session to capture our growing family. We were unsure how our photos could possibly be good from a remote session (PDX to Colorado)...but we were absolutely amazed! Kelly was able to capture candid moments in our own home and the quality of photos and artistry is just as amazing as our in-person sessions. We're so glad we found June Lion and recommend her to all our friends...now they can work with her from anywhere!

I have been looking for a photographer and a make up artist that can do make up and photography…read morethat is similar to Taiwanese wedding photos. I am really happy to find K&Y. Ken is the photographer, and the wife Yoyo is the make up artist. Both of them are really nice and has lots of patience. Ken give great instructions on posting. (Make me look skinner and show me how to hide my double chin) Usually he only need to take one to two shots for a scene. Super quick! And their price is very affordable too.

This was possibly one of my best photo shoot experiences. Ken really takes his time to understand…read morehis clients, their personalities, likes/dislikes, and style in order to customize the photos to best fit you. He was able to communicate efficiently between every pose and was friendly and patient so I never felt awkward or embarrassed. Trust me, I am a very awkward individual and Ken was able to capture photos of me that ranged from elegant, to high fashion, to fairy tale cuteness - a challenging feat! Whether you're a seasoned model or have never been in front of a camera, Ken can bring out the best sides of you. In the past, I've worked with photographers who instructed their clients to do very generic poses meant to go with certain backgrounds. This is not the case with Ken. The day of the shoot I brought a variety of outfits with me and as he helped me sift through them, he had a vision for every one. After a few shots, he quickly determined what props would go well with the photo or minor tweaks/improvisations to improve the overall shot. It was clear to me that Ken made every effort to ensure the pictures were tailored to me specifically. I loved every shot. :) Special shout out to Yoyo the make up artist for fixing/updating my hair and make up between outfit changes. Her hands are magic! :) Thank you, Ken and Yoyo, for a great experience!

I could not have been happier with the way my photos turned out. Christy listened to me and got to know my style.

We're in love with the photos we've seen thus far that Christy took of our wedding. From her…read moreportfolio we figured we'd get something pretty cool, but were floored by what actually came back. She is an incredible photographer and everything about the process was fantastic. Her upfront and straightforward, takes the time to understand what you're looking for and how to create shots that are authentically you. She displays professionalism while remaining down to earth and putting your group at ease. And the customer service and follow through after the event has been just as great as everything that came before it. Being gay we were nervous looking for a photographer but we are so happy we chose her to capture a special day for us, and wouldn't hesitate to hire Christy again.

She thoughtfully selected the best time of evening for that perfect golden hour light, found the most visually interesting parts of the park we selected, and made all of us comfortable - especially our beloved English bulldog Lulu. Lulu is famous for avoiding cameras, but at our shoot, she almost ran right into Kelly's camera! When it came time to order an album, she made the process easy and was highly communicative. We are thrilled with our photos and love Kelly's natural style.
