Shannon is a wonderful photographer. My company, Spectrum Retirement Communities, has been using…read moreShannon's services for the past 3 years. She is wonderful at working with the individuals who are involved in the photo shoot, and jumps right in to tell them how to pose. She has our best interest at heart, and knows exactly what we are looking for. We use her photos on ads, in marketing collateral, and all over all our website. She is prompt, professional, and makes sure we get our photos in a timely manner. We have not used her for a "party picture" setting, but for portraits, we love her. She is truly amazing! I would recommend her to anyone!

They were all so perfect, he knows how to use light to make every picture amazing!!! I will use him for all of my photo needs!!!!!!!! I highly recommend him for any photography needs.

Kate was the perfect photographer for our private elopement! After looking around at other…read morephotographers, it was a no-brainer to go with Kate for three main reasons: (1) her visible commitment to celebrating queerness, (2) her cool style that matched what we were looking for visually, and (3) her transparent pricing structure that included an elopement package option. Almost no one else tells you up front what it will cost, and very few have a smaller pricing tier for elopements/partial day commitments. Kate was the exception to this! Also, day-of, she was fantastic: she was able to easily take charge and "direct" us, which we definitely needed, since we're not used to being in front of the camera. Her turnaround time was also great--we had our "sneak peek" photos within 4 days, and our full gallery within 3 weeks of our wedding! We highly recommend Kate to anyone who's looking for a photographer!

Kelly has an incredible gift at capturing moments and highlighting the love between people. We…read moreworked with Kelly for some anniversary photos and she made us feel so comfortable by giving perfect queues without over-directing. Her ability to use the natural surroundings to emphasize the moment made the session fun and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Kelly also communicated clearly and quickly and I loved that she had a style guide for us to reference. The photos were delivered fast and her site is easy to use!

We're so happy we chose Kelly as our engagement photographer. Our photos came out beautiful and the…read moreexperience was great as well. Kelly made our first photoshoot feel easy and fun.

I really don't know where to start. Lauren, Molly, Chelsea and the rest of their crew were such a…read morepleasure to have plan and work our event. They were communicative, supportive, kind and capable. We were definitely one of those painful events as we were scheduled in 2020 and had to reschedule and replan multiple times due to Covid-19 challenges, and Lauren never dropped the ball. She made my life easier in planning our wedding reception and felt more like a friend than a vendor. We could not speak more highly of them or the event they coordinated for us. We had the best time. Do yourself a favor and utilize Hourglass.

Lauren and her team were amazing to work with! We originally hired her for a wedding in 2020. Due…read moreto COVID, we had to push it out until 2021. During the time in between, she continued to check in to see what we needed and how she could help. Flash forward to the event: She and her team were exceptional at managing and organizing all vendors, timelines, and set-up, and break-down. She made everything so easy, and most importantly - she kept us calm and unaware of everything chaotic that was happening behind the scenes. We would be THRILLED to work with Lauren's team again, and highly recommend Hourglass!

I've had the pleasure of doing two photo shoots with Kari Marie, and my only regret is that I…read morehaven't made it back for more. Kari has a very easy, very open way about her and is open to all ideas and thoughts about the shoot. Like most women, I have some "problem areas" I was hoping to hide and she listened attentively to my concerns and then gave me a few suggestions as to how we could work around them while still achieving the results I was looking for. She takes an active interest in helping to plan the shoot, as well as ensuring that my needs were met. During the shoot, I felt very comfortable and at ease with her. My shoot was a boudoir shoot, so I was in various stages of disrobed throughout, and she was respectful, unobtrusive, and patient. Many times I had ideas as we were shooting and she listened fully, then made my ideas happen. For the most part she let me "do my thing" and shot photos as she saw fit, and kept a quiet but keen presence. I appreciated that, as sometimes I feel the constant talking and direction-giving of other photographers can be overwhelming and take away from the experience. The results? Absolutely stunning. I don't consider myself terribly photogenic but when I saw the final results I was floored! I loved every image. I could tell how much time and care went into not only taking the photo but also in the post-processing, resulting in gorgeous images that I could be proud of. When I received my images, she even offered to process/change anything I didn't like about the images I received so that I'd be ultimately happy with the finished product (no changes were needed! They were beautiful as is). I found that to be a really personal touch, and it showed me that she's willing to go above and beyond to make sure that her subjects are completely satisfied with their shoot. I also had the pleasure of doing a more professional shoot with Kari. Again, she maintained her easy professionalism throughout and the results? Just as impressive as my more personal shoot. She certainly has an artist's eye and knows how to deliver images that capture the feel of any situation. One of these days, we will do another shoot. And I'm confident that the results of this next shoot will be just as good as the first two. (And incase you're wondering, yes, the photo on my profile was the result of one of our shoots :)

I visited Kari with my girlfriend for a photo session. Kari started by setting down some basic…read moreground rules (where to stand, how to posture the body) and then we started. She was very quiet as she snapped away, allowing the chemistry between my and my girlfriend to develop naturally. After a while I mostly forgot she was there. I will admit that as an amateur model, I had moments of extreme self-consciousness where I wondered if I was "doing it right." But I couldn't have been more pleased with the result! We received maybe 20 or so photos and they all were outstanding. And I really appreciated how she focused all of her editing attention on only the best shots. Weeding though a thousand photos with one's girlfriend can be daunting task and I was happy not to have to do it.
