Kara was absolutely wonderful to work with, and we could not be happier with our experience or the…read morephotos from our wedding. From the beginning, she was punctual, polite, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She gave us guidance when we needed it and helped us think through different ideas and themes, while still giving us the freedom to be creative and make everything feel like us. That balance made the entire experience feel natural instead of overly staged. We also really appreciated that our time with Kara never felt rushed. She was patient, organized, and somehow managed to help us accomplish a lot while still making the experience enjoyable. On a day that can already feel like it is moving a hundred miles an hour, that made a huge difference. And, most importantly, the pictures turned out incredible. She captured not only the big moments, but the personality and emotion behind them. Looking through the photos feels like getting to experience parts of our wedding day all over again. Kara is talented, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely cares about the people she is photographing. We are incredibly grateful that she was part of our wedding and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a photographer.

Jennifer Faith Photography is a very special experience! Bringing a multigenerational family…read moretogether for photos is A LOT! She was comforting and at the same time fun and worked quickly, but knew how to pivot for best lighting and background details. She also stepped up to coordinate smaller group shots for our formal sitting and our party. She has exceptional photography skills and the perfect warm inviting personality to come in to any situation (large families can have complexities) and navigate the room to bring out the BEST in everyone. Extraordinary!!!!

He was very professional, very detail orientated and super fun to hang out with on your wedding day. He makes everything go smoothly. He also shot our engagement photos, which he crushed.

He even stayed later than discussed, when we were running behind schedule, to capture all of our moments. Thanks Joe!

Technology Association of Oregon used Jason DeSomer to photograph two events in 2016 - Oregon…read moreTechnology Awards in May and Party in the Pinot in July. We were blown away by his shots. His images capture the spirit of our events and eliminate the contrived photos that are typical of awards ceremonies and outdoor events. He is extremely professional, and non-intrusive while interacting with guests. He captures the moment at our events in so many different ways we can't quite figure out how he got from here to there in that amount of time - but its impressive. And he provides our photos quickly so we can send them out to our community in a timely manner. In 2017 we booked early to lock down those two events, and two more our Kickoff Party in January and Kickball Tournament in August. When planning events you are always looking for great vendors who, in addition to providing stellar service, make your life easier the day of the big event. Jason DeSomer does this, and I can't recommend his services enough.

Jason was everything I was looking for in a photographer, and more!…read more I was searching for a photographer online and Jason's work stood out to me because he has an eye for great camera angles and subject placement, and his photos were very crisp and clear with great lighting and editing (something I found lacking in many others' portfolios). When I emailed him, his quotes were clear and reasonable, and he outlined everything in detail. I was modeling some outfits for a photo shoot in my house. Thankfully, Jason had a lot of great ideas for posing and I already knew the photos would turn out amazing! (I've done shoots with other photographers where I was given no direction and most of the photos came out awkward or meh). I was very happy with the shoot and the photos I received. I would definitely work with Jason again, and recommend him to anyone needing quality photos!

My son is a rainbow blur. I have so many photos of him and me smiling at each other and hanging…read morearound our favorite places. I adore these photos, but as his third birthday approached, my heart was searching for something different. He's not a "sit and smile" kinda boy. He's wild and colorful.. a rainbow that injects creativity into my life. His personality is hard to put into words, but I can SEE it, and I wanted someone to capture *that*. Kelly was the photographer who captured his rainbow blur. Before she arrived, she already had a vision in her head.. a couple of times, I heard her talking through the ideas she had thoughtfully written down. I'm curious as to when those ideas entered her mind.. I dunno! But that's the beauty.. she's clearly inspired by her own lens and life, and she injects that perspective into her fine art photo sessions. She has a plan and a vision, and you just know you're in the hand of an artist. During the session, my son would not sit still. But that's ok, there wasn't any pressure for him to do so. I felt beautiful throughout, even as my body jumped back and forth from strength to defeat as Bruno ran wild.. and despite the intermittent chaos, Kelly took the time to gently guide me into random patches of light that looked simply ethereal in the final edits. Without knowing it, she captured a photo that contained a photo of my late father in the background.. so he was there, and perhaps he was in the light, too? I dunno, but the photos represent more than a happy morning with my son.. they encompass our dance and our blurs and the push-and-pull of our hearts and bodies moving together. They are art. Always an honor to have Kelly and her cameras into our home, and I would recommend her for anyone wanting photos that will live for centuries in albums and prints.. photos that will be traced by the hands of your kids and grandkids.. photos that will help us better understand love and light. Thank you, Kelly!

From our engagement, to our wedding, to now a remote session to capture our growing family. We were unsure how our photos could possibly be good from a remote session (PDX to Colorado)...but we were absolutely amazed!

We're so glad we found June Lion and recommend her to all our friends...now they can work with her from anywhere!

Kyle was able to help us find a location for everything, planned that day and helped us set up a timeline! If you want a professional that is going to be calm, organized and roll with the punches, Kyle is your guy! He made us feel welcomed and even helped reassure us throughout the day! Onto the photos themselves, Kyle has an eye for capturing candid shots, flattering lighting to direct your eye and setting the mood in the photos. We will forever cherish the photos you documented on our big day. We absolutely enjoyed Kyle's presence during our small dinner party as he was able to keep us laughing, having great conversations, and amazing Oregon recommendations! Thank you for everything!

We reached out to Kyle after he did such a great job with our friends' wedding photos a couple…read moreyears ago. When we contacted him, he was very responsive. At our first meeting, he was enthusiastic, organized, and asked all kinds of questions to better understand our vision. The day of the ceremony, he helped us add structure to our pre-ceremony process by nailing down clear portrait timelines for each of us. He has an upbeat and easy-going attitude, which helped both of us feel comfortable while posing for portraits. And further, he clearly has a great eye and improvises well, because he was able to incorporate what might have otherwise looked like a mundane neighborhood setting into beautifully lit, unique photos. Kyle took all kinds of creative, moment-catching candid shots during our ceremony and reception that we couldn't be happier with. When we showed our wedding photos to friends and family afterwards, they consistently expressed surprise and delight at how Kyle was able to capture so many nuanced moments without being intrusive. TL;DR: We love all of our wedding photos and are so grateful to Kyle for sharing his talents with us! If you're looking for someone who is detail-oriented and ready to celebrate with you, we highly recommend Kyle!
