We used Kat to do family/newborn photos when we had our 2nd child. We hadn't done family photos…read morebefore and Kat was so patient and helpful with answering all the questions I had and letting me try on outfits she had in the client wardrobe to see if anything would work for me before the photoshoot. She had some beautiful options but I ended up going with a dress of my own. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! We received our pictures within 2 days of our photoshoot and they are nothing short of incredible. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and stunning they look. I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!

Bottom line up front-- BK Rose is Best in Class nation-wide and peerless...keeping up with trends…read moreand best practices etc. is what gets you booked. All stop. That means doing your homework. I'll help you out with gusto, just as so many have helped me as I got started on my own journey. Being on point on your self marketing, especially when you are non-represented, is non-negotiable. Failing to be professional with what casting directors demand is a roadblock. Submissions are "make or break" power moves. THE ODDS ARE AGAINST the apex storybook discovery tales of rarities like JLAW, Michele Pfeiffer, Charlize Theron etc. so if you expect that to be your way in...it's not reality. I get cast and work in these markets: NYC (Netflix movies), Atlanta (Marvel/ABC), and Mid-Atlantic (Apple TV). I am new to the business (three years in) but I have been building a resume over time and there is no way I am going to compromise because I take my career seriously. There is no slack given in a highly competitive industry with a dearth of roles and a surplus of talent. SO...if you want to crack the code, get seen, get call backs, get booked then there is no better photographer for any amount of money than BK Rose and Kat is my Queen. I get work in commercials, major motion pictures, network tv shows because of her. Fact! Every single person I ask that plays a role in getting cast (when I am lucky enough to get employment) has singled out my headshots as what is working for me to get my foot in the door. BK Rose unequivocally is worth the plane ticket, drive time, train time, mule riding time (you name it) to get quality content and ultimately get BOOKED. Not 10 out of 10 -- 100 out of 10!

She's perfect for event photography which is what I use her for. She is on-time, hard-working, and gets right into it. And the best part of it all, the pictures were ready in under 48 hours. That's IMPRESSIVE. I really liked Ashley and can't wait to work with her again! Loved the beautiful pictures she captured!

Ashley photographed me and my now-husband at our small City Hall wedding, and then the next day at…read morethe big party we threw with all of our friends and family. I tend to get really anxious in front of a camera, and don't consider myself to be very photogenic and so I was nervous for the photo portion of our days! Turns out, I did not need to be nervous at all! From the very first moment Ashley disarmed us and kept us comfortable. She was nothing but positive and--truly!--made us feel awesome about ourselves and the pictures we were taking. She is just a pleasure to be around and our comfort and happiness really comes through in the photos. And the photos are amazing! Ashley really captured our days in a way that will help us keep those memories for a lifetime!

We hired Jeremy in Chicago, and he is absolutely the best event photographer in Chicago. He is…read moreprofessional, flexible, and beyond talented. His style is very particular, which I see as a good thing-- your photos will look like art, not just like anyone else's photos. Moreover, his prices are completely in line with those of other photogs in Chicago-- even less than several we interviewed! Back in September 2013, we needed our engagement photos quickly to produce save-the-dates and Jeremy delivered. We loved every shot he gave us and are constantly finding ways to use the pictures in new ways. Too, too many of the shots from our August 31 wedding are breathtaking. Jeremy gave me one photo before he left, taken just with his iPhone, and even that shot is spectacular. Plus all the guests at the wedding commented on how clearly capable Jeremy was-- getting right in the middle of the dancing, and being super efficient with all posed shots he took. Jeremy is a legitimate inspiration to both my fiance and me, who have both worked as event photographers ourselves. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO CALIFORNIA JEREMY!!

If I had taken those pictures I would've deleted them, and why a professional photographer would give those to a client boggles the mind. When I expressed concern to her she (1) asked me to send pictures if him with a normal smile and (2) offered to edit 5 more images at an additional cost if $25. I saw the additional unedited images that I could choose to have edited for an additional cost and several were much better than the ones with the fake smile. However, I refuse to spend extra money. She should have taken better pictures to begin with and/or chosen her best photos to edit and present to the client.

My son wasn't feeling great, but Alina had some toys and props with her to help distract him and also had some tricks up her sleeve to get a fussy 3-year-old to smile! She got the CD to us by the following week. With other photographers, we had to wait at least a month and usually had to pay through the roof to get prints without a watermark. Alina's pricing was very reasonable and we were very happy with our pictures. We will definitely be calling her in the future.
