Short Answer: Courtney Holcomb is amazing. Save the time…read moreit will take to read this review and make an appointment with her before she is all booked up. She is that good! Longer Answer: I needed a "headshot." Truth be told, I would prefer having a tooth pulled than having my picture taken, especially when it is just me. Thank you, no. I am 62, and I have finally come to the conclusion that I am never going to get taller or younger...I know, right? But I digress... After receiving more than a few proposals for my YELP request (which is one of the things I love about YELP) and filtering through them, I found I kept coming back to Courtney's website. After speaking with her on the phone, I knew she was who I wanted to work with. I mean, really, I can only take so many bad selfies, even with all those festive "apps" before I realized I wanted find a real photographer. Courtney is more than just a real photographer; she is an artist. When I showed up for the photo shoot, I was as nervous as can be. It's silly but true. Put me in front of a crowd of people to speak, a high school full of students, even when faced with that service writer about to tell me "Lola" (my car) needs "a bit more work than we were hoping...". That I can handle. No fear! But point a camera at me? Yeah...no. But I digress...again... Then I met Courtney Holcomb. Courtney has this amazingly calm manner and this kind smile that would help anyone relax. She listens. She asks questions that actually apply to the photo shoot. She wasn't trying to schmooze me. She was trying to make sure I got what I wanted. She explained exactly what she wanted me to do and how she wanted me to do it. She is patient. She smiles. She gets me. How cool is that? And I loved the studio! Come to find out, Courtney has access to several amazing studios, from basically the US/Canada border to the Seattle/Bellevue a rea. This makes it so much more convenient for me, and it was perfect! It was in this old building in Everett with these incredibly tall ceilings, tons of natural light (even that day when it was on the verge of raining), these gorgeous billowy curtains, and lots of furniture possibilities. It has a great dressing room area, too. In fact, the whole place is spacious enough for a herd of family without feeling cramped. Perfect. Now, let's dash to the INCREDIBLE proofs! First, I received them incredibly quickly, and the platform she uses to review them is very easy to use. The pictures themselves? WOW. They are wonderful. They made me feel beautiful. I felt like she found how to make me look kind and strong, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Did I mention her prices are more than fair? Did I mention I am already scheduling another sitting with her for our family? Final Words: HIRE HER! Seriously, you will thank me

Courtney has a natural talent for not only photography but interacting with those being…read morephotographed. Her kind gentle calm demeanor radiates. I shared with Courtney my concerns about being photographed which she took great care to keep in mind during all photos taken that were candid as well as posed ones. No one even knew I was being"directed" on angle, pose, etc. I felt cared about, respected, & empowered in a sense. It's one of those things that's hard to put into words because it was so profoundly moving and emotional...in a good way. She captured the moments and who we are so well I was in awe and not expecting that. We received our images in a beautiful gallery that was very simple to access and use. We will forever be a client/customer.

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.

Just book them!! They are amazing!…read more Wedding photos are the most precious thing as they are a token and reminder of your special day and I cannot thank Luna and Lion enough for capturing ours in such a beautiful way that I get to cherish forever. My favorite thing about their work, is they truly are able to capture the moment and emotions in their shots. Since we ended up eloping due to covid 19, many of our families were not able to be there. But when we shared our photo album with them. Many said they felt they were there with us as all the photos were able to capture the story and essense very well. Me and my husband took forever searching for the perfect photographer to capture our special day. After seeing so many pages we stumbled upon Luna and Lion page. I decided to reach out to them on Instagram and ask some questions. They were very prompt with their replies and made me feel very comfortable even when some of my questions were silly. After chatting with Kayti and getting some details sorted I finalized our booking. Leading up to the wedding anytime I had questions or needed help with finding locations etc, I would always reach out and they were always so nice and accommodating. On the day of our scheduled photoshoot we met kayti at the location and I had told her how important it was for me to capture the first look moments. She made sure that was all arranged and ready to go as seamless as possible. Another concern of ours was Me and my husband were nervous on how to pose and what to do. Kayti was on top of it she directed us on exactly what to do and made us feel so so comfortable. It really felt like we were hanging out with a friend. She was always willing to go above and beyond to get the perfect shot. She is really so talented and very professional. Choosing them to capture our special day was one of the best decisions we ever made and we love our photos so so much. They literally look like they came straight from a magazine. We could not stop starring at them. Thank you Kayti and Chris. Keep doing the amazing work you do.

We signed a contract with Lillian Jean and paid a deposit to book her. Had a pretty-consultation…read morewhere we brainstormed location ideas. She promised to send a few to us following the call. We never heard from her. Upon reaching out again she apologized and stated she had a death in the family. But indicated she'd still do our session as scheduled. It is the day of the session and we have emailed,texted, called and tried to reach on various social media and have heard nothing. She has completely ghosted us with our money and a signed contract. We feel hurt and disappointed and upset by this level of unprofessionalism.

She has a way of getting great angles and finding the best light. I've always felt I'm not the most photogenic, but somehow I always end up with a bunch of pictures that I love. My oldest is a serious boy, but somehow she got that kid to smile in most photos. She's a miracle worker and is beyond worth the wait. I gladly book my family sessions a year in advance. When I got pregnant she was literally the first person I contacted because I knew how in demand Ashley is and I didn't want anyone else for my newborn pictures.
