I was looking for a photographer for my engagement session and I am so happy that I found Melissa…read morefrom M. Tan Photography. She is flexible, friendly, easy to work with and always professional. I had two different sessions with her; one of which was during freezing temperatures with a ton of snow and she still worked diligently even under the extreme weather conditions. She has a creative eye and sense of style in which she can turn a regular photo into something unique and extraordinary. I appreciate the time she took in preparing props for the photo sessions and all the different ideas she had to create one-of-a-kind shots. My pictures arrived quickly and they are absolutely gorgeous! I loved them so much that I had to enlarge one to a 20 X 30 canvas to hang on my wall. She also took my bridal shower pictures and I can't thank her enough for capturing the memories for my special celebration. Melissa's dedication and passion for photography shows through her work. She is committed to providing the best service and photography sessions for her clients. I would definitely work with her again and can't wait till our next photo session!

Carly did the engagement photos and she and her husband shot the wedding in 2010…read more She trooped out into the snow for the engagement photos at the insistence of the stubborn man I was with and she was pleasant and delightful as ever, even though she had to get a ride from her dad due to her car not being road worthy due to the snow. For the wedding, they showed up early and took many pictures. We had a few pictures in mind that we wanted and due to me having bronchitis for the month before the wedding, I hadn't planned beyond that. Carly took over for managing the location of the pictures and getting people to cooperate. The only cons were that there were serious, special moments not captured on film that I feel should have been along with a poor choice for a background for the group photos. However, we didn't give her much direction and the family on both sides weren't cooperating with the pictures, so she did a pretty great job all things considered. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for their family or wedding pictures.

Not only did Carly…read moreand her husband, George, document our wedding and engagement, they were an integral part of this magical, memorable, and a unbelievably fun chapter in our lives. My wedding would not have been the same without Carly and George as our guests. All this, and the photos are beautiful! My husband and I are not keen on being in front of cameras or the center of attention. Carly made us feel comfortable and confident. Her enthusiasm was contagious. She genuinely loves her job. Whether you are looking for a photographer for engagement photos, wedding photos, senior portraits or family photos, I would highly suggest giving Carly a call. She has an artistic, journalistic style that really captures the moment and puts it into context. Thanks Carly!

Erica was able to achieve this in every single picture!! I was blown away, as I know what a struggle it can be with four little ones! My children were drawn to her which made the whole process so much easier and stress-free for me and them! She was able to accommodate my family and work in our own home and environment, which I think made the shoot more natural and authentic.It was a pleasure to work with her as she was very passionate about her work, easy going, and truly talented. I look forward to an upcoming shoot with her as an anniversary gift for my husband

All the three times Katie went out of her way to capture beautiful shots and all of them are and will be life's beautiful treasures.Thanks Katie...

Katie put all of us at ease, and gave us an amazing set of photos even with the kids' short attention spans. I'm a photographer myself and don't have many photos of our family together with me in the frame. It is so wonderful to have these beautiful photos of our entire family to cherish for years to come. We will definitely be coming back. If you want a photographer who goes above and beyond, this is the one.

My husband and I originally chose her for our wedding photos. We selected a package for about…read more$4,500. She went into a big sales pitch before we signed with her telling all the stuff that it included so we were very excited- especially since her work looks great. When we got our engagement photos back and they looked terrible. We purchased and extended 2 hours with her for about $500. During this time she stopped to take personal photos of items that inspired her. Of the actually photos we got back 70% of them were not us together and most of which were my husband. She was big on taking photos of us separately. We had so few pictures to choose from and they were terrible. When we spoke to her about this she said that the "magic" happens when she uses Photoshop. What she didn't tell us is that each image she Photoshop's costs $50 per image. The kicker- you don't a digital copy of the CD. She talked our whole engagement session about all the famous Seahawks she photographs and how we need to purchase prints from her to get the digital copy of anything- any even then it would only be that image. She constantly tried to up sale us during our engagement session on larger packages- like $16,000!!!! Our contract clearly stated that we received digital copies of all images. And she did other items that contradicted our contract. We negotiated out of our contract with her and selected an amazing photographer that took images that were amazing WITHOUT needing to be Photoshoped. Luckily we only did engagement photos with her. I would NOT recommend Janet to brides, grooms, or families.

Not only is Janet is a gifted photographer, she is also a warm, sincere, thoughtful, dependable and…read morekind-hearted person. She consistently delivers professional, beautiful photos. There are a lot of good photographers in Seattle, and she is one of the best. My husband and I have hired her many times over the years for family photos both on location around Seattle and in her studio. She photographed my husband, toddler and me while I was pregnant with my second child, after the baby was born and many times since then. I cherish the images she captures of my family, especially the kids as babies and as they change over the years. (My kids are completely at ease around Janet, which helps make sessions go smoothly. Her down-to-earth style is a good match for us.) We also have beautiful photos of grandparents with the kids during cherry blossom season. The prints made perfect holiday gifts. Janet's consistently fantastic work and upfront, clear communication about what to expect for her services keep us coming back. She is flexible and works with us to deliver what we want with her expert touch and within our budget. No surprises. She's great, and I recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent photographer.

Karen Mason-Blair, the creative mind behind KMB Photography, is a long-time family friend of mine…read more I grew up hearing Karen's stories from her past life as an entertainment photographer, who caught her breaks shooting Nirvana and other bands in the early 90's. Some of her best-known works have made it on the cover of Nirvana's concert DVD's and the CD cover art from tons of other bands. She is gifted, creative, and has a natural eye for catching "the moment." As a communications professional, I've worked with a number of photographers through the years. Karen is the only one I would trust with my special day. At her heart, Karen is a people-person, and she loves to capture the heart and soul of her subjects. I can guarantee that when you get your wedding pictures back, you will see the the personalities of your wedding party and friends. She isn't interested in creating a huge, self-serving portfolio of overly-stylized shots. She wants to capture YOU and the special moments you'll remember for the rest of your life. I can't rave enough about Karen's work. She is a pleasure to include in your special day. Prior to my wedding, I had not met her assistant, Ann. But both made me feel completely at ease. More importantly, my introverted husband completely relaxed and totally surprised me with how comfortable he got in front of the camera.

I would highly recommend Karen and Ann to ANYONE and EVERYONE. I'm not one to write good…read morereviews...I mostly just pass along my bad experiences. My biggest concern about my wedding was the pictures. I interviewed a photographer, and met briefly with others at the wedding show in Seattle. The moment I met Karen, I KNEW I had to have her at my wedding. Her energy is incredible, and I'm not a "touchy-feely" person (I'm an auditor). She was so much fun, and always had a smile on her face. Karen met my husband and I before the wedding to discuss what we wanted. She was thorough in her questions, and took the time to get to know us. She let us know what she needed from us (i.e. which pictures we thought were important, if it came down to a time crunch, what could we give up, etc.). The day of our wedding, my family wasn't helpful at all. People were complaining, and no one helped me. Karen jumped right in and helped coordinate things so I, as the bride, wasn't doing it all. She always had a smile on her face, but was able to get everyone moving (which is impressive because getting everyone together in my family can be like nailing jello to a tree). Ann was so nice, and having two photographers (FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!) was incredible because we had pictures of both my husband and I getting ready, and shots from the front and back of most parts of the wedding. While Karen was out shooting photos of us after the ceremony, Ann was getting shots of cocktail hour. When we were going through the photos, I was surprised to see so much had happened while we were gone - and we weren't away that long! Karen had the best price, the best package, and the best personality. If you need a photographer, she and Ann are the way to go. To say you won't be disappointed is an understatement. I would have done a lot of things differently with my wedding (photo booth vendor, for one!) but if I could go back and do it again, I would hire Karen and Ann in a heartbeat.
