Great engagement photos for my daughter and her future husband. From Lauren Roberts Photography.read more

Planning to ask a woman to spend the rest of her life with you isn't simple. Planning it from over…read more4,000 miles away has its own set of challenges. After successfully using the internet to find about a dozen photographers (no hits, all misses) in the Anchorage area, I knew I needed more direction. Finding Lauren Roberts (the brains, talent, and amazingness behind Beauty Board Media) was the answer to my questions. Even while on a work-trip outside of Alaska, Lauren fielded my call and took some time to sit in a quiet place and chat with me about what exactly I was looking to do. I wanted my proposal to my girlfriend to be caught on camera so we could share that special moment with our friends and family all over the world. No big deal. Lauren and I spoke for days before she even started talking about the cost of this cross-country production I was planning. A couple from Texas celebrating the 4th of July in Anchorage with a proposal under the fireworks at a small college summer league baseball game. She was almost as excited about this as I was! The words "swoon" and "romantic" were thrown around excessively. Lauren promises, Lauren delivers. She brought along a second shooter to catch the moment in photos while she masterfully shot our video. At the time of writing this review the video has not yet been completed; we asked Lauren to take extra time and provided her recently with some other home video "gems" to work with. Like I said, her promise of a keepsake production cannot be ignored. It's amazing what Beauty Board Media has done for past clients (check out the website) and what she's done for Priscilla and me. The photos are outrageous. We can't stop looking at them. A few are being printed and framed once we decide which of them we like more than the others. It's a difficult task when each picture is a masterpiece. Our friends and family love the pictures. Our only regret is that Lauren is in Alaska and we're in Texas! We can't thank her enough. Her talent and passion captured our engagement; something no amount of money could recreate or duplicate. And now we have a way to revisit it forever. If you have any questions just message me. I'll always be a fan.

When we decided to get married we knew it would have to be in downtown Anchorage, you know we had…read moreto pay homage to where we met, so I wanted a photographer who loved downtown as much as we did. Sonja is amazing! I cannot stop gushing over her dedication to her clients or the beautiful quality of photos we received. In our first meeting with Sonja we clicked. She is such a bright and vibrant soul. Her passion for her work, clients and downtown Anchorage can't be matched. Our wedding was Memorial Day weekend 2018 and Sonja provided us with a phenomenal service. She is so down to earth, so easy to work with and has the patience of an saint because I know we were annoying lol! Her packages are reasonably priced and she was super flexible working with our budget and customizing our photo package to our needs. Her style is very editorial, clean and classic. I have been so happy with the photos I've received so far. She now offers her photo studio to brides, which can be added on to your packages. YOU MUST RENT HER STUDIO FOR YOUR GETTING READY PHOTOS!! It's much nicer than a hotel, she has a gorgeous vanity set up, it's very roomy, styles well with great furniture but most importantly is has the most beautiful abundance of natural light. Which makes for amazing photos, but even better selfies. I'm so glad I chose this add on over getting a hotel room downtown. First of all it's cheaper than getting a hotel room because it has more than enough space for 12+ people; the space is divided. I got ready in the back room and my groom showed up later and got ready in the front room. It was perfect in every aspect. I cannot thank Sonja and her husband enough for the amazing experience they provided us on our wedding day. She also does amazing boudoir and senior photos too!

Oksana is a total sweetheart! So professional and she provides absolutely wonderful and beautiful…read morework! It shows with each of her clients through her lens! Very experienced and highly recommended by me. She invests time and extra energy to get to know each client. She made me feel so comfortable and ultimately beautiful in my own skin. She gave confidence to this full-time working mom of 2 littles! The quality of her artwork is superb! Ladies.. you will not be disappointed. Hair and makeup is included and she works with lovely MUA's to transform you. She has since moved to a new studio this year which looks (from IG) spacious and lively. Make that appointment!

I had heard so many great things about them and I'm so happy I listened to what everyone was saying. Christal Houghtelling was absolutely amazing at capturing the beauty of Alaska and each one of my kids' personalities. We got an album that I will cherish forever. It is worth every dollar to me to have amazing photos I'm proud of and memories I will now never forget. I recommend Windswept if you want real professional photos and a great shooting experience. She is top notch on both fronts. All my friends and family are obsessed with her work. We already booked for next season.
