She's sweet, genuine, encouraging, and ambitious. We were really bad about setting a specific timeline for the day-of until the week before and Melissa was understanding and flexible with whatever needed to happen even with last-minute planning. She took nice family portraits for us and we had a blast taking our couples shots with her down on the beach. I'm a naturalist nerd and delighted in the fact that she is too, as we kept pausing to exclaim over beach-combing finds and incorporating things like sand dollars and peeling madrona bark into our photos. She did an excellent job balancing our requests for certain backdrops and types of shots with her own professional suggestions, and we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out! She was extremely prompt with the turn-around. Sneak peeks the day after (!) and our whole portfolio just 2.5 weeks after! Wow! If you want someone who's a down-to-earth person AND a fabulous photographer, we highly recommend Melissa! We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

I searched a local photographer who can do senior portrait for my about to graduate daughter. I…read moreknow it was so late in the action. I debated for a while whether we should do this or not since she is a picky photographer wannabe herself. And the time passed so fast. I used the function in Yelp to reach out to multiple photographers and Heidi was one that responded along others. She requested more information by email and she had the flexible dates and reasonable price for what we wanted. Heidi suggested several locations such as Jennings park, Snohomish downtown etc.. Daughter wanted to get done in Snohomish. It was raining the day unfortunately and wasn't sure how it will turn out to be. Heidi even offered to change some other time. But we just decided to do as our schedule was heck tic at the time. It was supposed to be 40 minutes long session but probably ended up like an hour? My daughter changed once, formal to casual. Also she wore graduation gown and cap in the middle of the session. Heidi was very patient and tried to accommodate what we wanted. The whole session went smooth as she knows the area, how she wanted my daughter (and her boyfriend) to be the model. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Finished pictures were warm, exhibited natural beauty. I highly recommend Heidi for any portrait sessions and weddings.

Her photography speaks for itself, it is simply stunning. She photographed my wedding as well as a boudoir session my wife gave me as a wedding present. Everything turned out perfectly, we cried when we saw how beautiful they are. All of our guests are still gushing about how amazing our photos are! And this is just mentioning her artistic talent, she is also the most sweet and friendly person to work with. She is always calming, even in the chaos of family wedding photos, and was instrumental in my wife and I enjoying our wedding day and finding time to really reflect and appreciate the day. At every stage, from our initial interview through when we received our photos after the wedding, including all planning and the wedding day, she was everything we could ever ask for (and we were NOT an easy client, I assure you). There is no question, she is the ONLY photographer we will ever hire from now on.

We hired Anastasia for our couple's anniversary photoshoot and she is the BEST photographer I've…read moreworked with! This is one review I can wholeheartedly give 10 stars, if I could. Anastasia is not JUST a photographer, she is a creative genius while still being very professional. My husband doesn't love getting photos taken, but with Anastasia, our anniversary photoshoot was more than just a photoshoot, it was a fun adventure that added a very special touch to our 15 year anniversary, my husband didn't even ask once if we were almost done, which seemed to be the norm judging from past experiences. She's very thorough in her preparation as well, she advised us on wardrobe and she even has a client closet, which was very helpful.

Before the session I received a packet explaining in detail what to bring, what to wear, what to expect etc. Also, before the session she asked an amazing amount of questions to get an idea of what direction our photoshoot was going to be directed. Needless to say she did amazing work and was extremely professional and put my husband and I at ease. I can honestly say that she is also a baby whisperer because she posed her is so many positions without waking her once. I will return to her for every photo session need.
