We did a small micro wedding in an art gallery and she was so flexible in working with us even though all the details didn't come together until right before! I would definitely recommend.

McKenna did an amazing job wrangling even the rowdiest family members for extended family photos…read more She did a wonderful job reminding us to stay on schedule, but was relaxed and flexible enough to let us enjoy every moment. Her attention to detail was spectacular. She was accommodating through multiple postponements due to Covid-19. She brought fun energy to both our engagement pictures and wedding day while still remaining very professional. All expectations were stated and communication was easy. Most of all, our photos are so dreamy- they capture all of the sentimental and funny moments of our big day in a way that is polished but still so authentic to us.

Kara did an amazing job with my professional headshot-style photo shoot…read more I wasn't even sure what I was looking for, so she took some time at the beginning to discus the traditional versus "new wave" style of business pictures. With LinkedIn and social media being such a big deal now a days, you better look profesh, and you better look good while you're doing it. She made everything stress free for me and guided me through the process. I'm not used to professional pictures, but she made me feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Tried on some different outfits with some different backgrounds at her studio (which is lovely and nicely decorated) The day was painless and casual, she had a quick turnaround process and gave me a stunning final result, including a great editing process for some general blemish removal, etc. Would highly recommend Kara not just for her professional photography skills, but her personality and her ability to make you feel at ease. She handles family portraits, weddings and adorable baby shoots, too!

Kara generously offered to schedule me in the next day after I had anxiously reached out because my…read morebaby was nearing 6 weeks old and I was having a difficult time scheduling newborn photos (typically taken within the first 2 weeks of life) with a different photographer. She cleared her schedule and was able to beautifully capture my increasingly huge and more active, less sleepy infant. The preparation that went into the shoot was top notch from the heat being turned up in the studio so my baby wasn't cold to the wide variety of outfits, props, sound machine, and she even had a camping/outdoorsy background that fit our nursery theme! We BOTH felt we were in the best of care; my baby is normally fussy in the hands of strangers but Kara had a way of calming him to get all the cutest poses effortlessly, and I as a new mom was able to finally relax for a few hours. She is also a mom to two littles and was incredibly easy to talk and relate to. It was apparent she truly loves her career and genuinely cares about her customers and their family.. which is increasingly hard to find these days! I recommend her services to anyone looking for family photos; you will treasure them for decades to come.

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team than Matt Mason Photography for our wedding…read moreday! From the very beginning, communication with Matt was clear and easy. He was always quick to respond, professional, and genuinely excited to capture our day. The automated check ins really kept us on track and easy to follow during all of the planning chaos. On the wedding day itself, both Matt Mason and Ben Hanson made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do! They gave us just the right amount of guidance without making anything feel forced, so all of our photos look natural and full of joy. Both of them were calm, kind, and fun to be around, which helped us relax and actually enjoy the photo process. The results are stunning and we'll treasure these photos forever. We are so grateful for all the effort, attention to detail, and care they put into making sure everything was perfect. If you're looking for photographers who are talented, easy to work with, and truly go above and beyond, Matt Mason Photography is the one to book!

My husband and I hired Matt and his team for our Indian/American fusion wedding in Minneapolis, MN…read more I was familiar with his work through a friend and the quality/value of other photographers I was considering in the Twin Cities just didn't compare. It was definitely worth it to us to have Matt travel to MN - we got an 8 hour package, fusion film, and flush mount album. Matt and Matt put us, our families, and bridal party very much at ease throughout the day, and were very considerate of cultural and personality needs. They gave us latitude on certain photos/poses we wanted but also gave us great ideas. I would highly recommend Matt Mason Photography for any event!

Jen is the absolute best! We have had the pleasure of working with her twice and would recommend…read moreher to anyone. Our first experience was when she was taking portraits for a relative's 50th anniversary celebration. She was taking individual family portraits and caught some amazing pictures of my family. Not only did she catch some great posed pictures, but she also captured some priceless candid moments of my husband & myself as well as my sons in between poses which show the true essence of each of our personalities and relationships. They are truly amazing and when I saw them, they instantly became my favorite pictures that she took. She has a gift for capturing the most precious, genuine moments. After that experience, my son insisted that Jen be the one to take his senior pictures because she made the whole previous photography session so comfortable. Jen brought enthusiasm and a sense of adventure with her for his Senior Session. She took her time and made sure my son was confortable with the shots. She even climbed into the craziest of spots to apease my son's request to have shots done my an inacessible river...she truly should have charged hazard pay but insead joked about the climb and was all in for the adventure! The images were incredible and the day was full of laughter; it was so relaxed and fun. Jen once again went the extra mile for us and it was truly a day of treasured memories which resulted in precious images. Jen is truly incredible and if you want someone who is willing to listen to you as well as honestly work with you, Jen is the person you are looking for. I recommend her with the highest level of confidence and satisfaction. She is so easy to work with and we have amazing pictures to treasure for a lifetime! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Jen, the photographer and owner of Red Petal…read morePhotography. Jen was both professional and friendly. She had multiple ideas for shooting my daughter's senior photos and we especially loved the "urban" look idea she shot in the Historic Third Ward. She made my daughter feel very comfortable as she never had to pose for a professional photographer before and was not sure what to do. Jen was quick to get our proofs to us and it was convenient to go on her website to view all of them. I like that she even takes care of sending the year book photo to my daughter's high school. I highly recommend Jen/Red Petal for any professional photography needs.
