Sandra has been taking photos of our family for as long as I can remember. Not only is she a…read moretalented photographer, but she's also great at managing people. She can coax great shots from the children who would rather not get their picture taken. She finds moments amid the chaos of a family shoot that resonate. You will not be disappointed by choosing Sandra Coan for capturing a few moments of your life.

Whether its celebrating the bump, baby or family, Sandra captures black and white with sharp…read moreperfection and knows how to work light, shadows, etc. I am not photogenic and my worst self critic in photos, but I was inspired to go with Sandra to document my 32 week bump because she truly gets what the beauty of this moment in time is for women and for ther partners. The photo session is around a hour and her prices/packages are very reasonable for what you get and have rights to, which is very important in a Facebook world and for future keep savers like the coffee table book. While I am not at all modest, the time she took with my husband and I posing and holding our bump together was even more special than the picture it produced - it was like we took a very quiet, undistracted and initimate moment to be close and know what we created together. I hope everyone gets to have that same experience, it's worth it.

Even before my own session, I could tell Black Swan Boudoir is something special! I visited the…read morestudio and had a consultation with Dawn and immediately felt welcomed and understood. I also had the chance to watch a friend during their shoot, and the way Dawn interacted with her; so patient, uplifting, and professional. It honestly sold me on this experience on the spot. Watching her work with my friend is what helped me get over my camera nerves and feel excited about doing my own shoot soon! And the photos I've seen? The before/after transformations are incredible! Every person looks stunning and confident. If you're nervous or unsure, Dawn's energy and talent make this a fun, empowering experience you'll be so glad you did. I can't wait.

She was so accommodating all the way through the process before the wedding, during and after. She knew I was a ball of nerves the day of my wedding and really helped me to feel confident/beautiful that day. She has a way about her that makes people feel comfortable and I heard from multiple guests how lovely she was! This woman is unmatched - if you're still debating, look no further. You've found your dream photographer. 10/10 will be recommending her to everyone I know.

My wife and I hired Hope to photograph our wedding in Seattle this year, and she was fantastic…read more Hope was super chill and easy to work with, a great communicator, and so much fun to have at our event! In our first conversation we told her about our plans, and the vibe we were looking for, and she talked about her aesthetic and sent us some of her work to look at. We had some stuff we definitely didn't want at our wedding (like a bunch of super posed group photos), and she was gracious about all of our requests. After we agreed to work together, Hope sent a really simple digital contract and payment form for us to complete. I was also really impressed with the fact that she immediately went to our venue and scoped it out so she had an idea of where to take all of our photos, and what to expect at the event. Leading up to the wedding, when we were overwhelmed with all the details, Hope sent helpful messages just checking in and asking if we had questions for her. On the day of the event she was totally available - she came to our house while we got ready, and documented some lovely intimate moments without making it weird. We had talked through a photography plan for an outdoor wedding, but of course it poured rain! So we had to get married indoors, and Hope adjusted beautifully. During the ceremony and the reception, she was always in the right place capturing the perfect moment. She captured our vibe so well with our "couples" photos. Hope delivered the photos quickly after the fact, responded to feedback, and was just overall fantastic to work with. The photos are gorgeous. Highly recommend!!

Beginning with communication surrounding a mood board prior to my shoot, up through meeting to select my pictures post-shoot it was a top notch experience. She creates a fun and comfortable atmosphere where you feel safe exploring a side of you that I definitely hadn't explored before. She went above and beyond to capture looks I envisioned and never rushed us through the process. She made me feel like a super model. She has a warm heart and demeanor. Alice takes the time to genuinely get to know you. Prior to my shoot I found myself questioning if this was more for my husband or for me. It felt so indulgent and promoted self-love. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone. You can wear as much or as little clothing as you like, there are no rules and Alice encourages you to embrace what you want the experience to be. Initially I was a bit hesitant about the price...in the end she was worth every penny! I even spent more to splurge on a bigger package since so many pictures turned out fabulous! Alice is your girl!

Every person should do this for themselves. I was so nervous but Cheryl was amazing, she made you feel very comfortable. And the makeup artist, Brittney was incredible! She gave me the look I wanted (that I didn't even know I wanted) In a situation like this, if you're a control freak like me, try and let the professionals guide you.

I'm a 45 year old women that wasn't in the shape I wanted to be but I really wanted to do this for my husband's 50th. Little did I know this would be for me too, as much, if not more. Nikoma, the fabulous hair and makeup person was so personable and really helped me feel welcomed and special. Cheryl came in, got a few of my ideas and was all direction from outfits to how to poses, I didn't have to think about anything, she knows what she's doing. I came back an hour after the shoot to choose the photos (the hardest part). They were all so stunning and the most eye opening thing was that they were gorgeous even before editing! After, once I had sometime to process the experience I was brought to tears multiple times thinking about how different I was seeing myself, in a very body positive way. I came to her for a product but I left with so much more. I can't recommend this enough. Such an incredible experience and keepsake.
