Dan was an amazing photographer and a great guy. He was very responsive with all the questions I…read morehad and was quick to reply. He gave me a few venue ideas, which was used for my family photo's. We had a group of 12 and Dan maybe the shoot not awkward at all. We all enjoyed the creative shoots that Dan took. He took a variety of different group shots and did individuals as well. It's crazy how much he got done in only an hour. I would highly recommend Dan for personal photography's/family photos. If you are looking for someone friendly, professional and overall just a good guy, look no further Dan Rice is your guy.

If I could give Dan more stars than 5, I would! He just photographed our engagement photo session…read more(with our 4 young daughters) and our wedding. He was an absolute joy to work with and was really just so much fun! He made us laugh, kept up with the timeline, utilized the lighting and landscape and just kept things flowing really smoothly. I got so many compliments from guests and the wedding party about how great he was. I've only seen a sneak peak of photos, but from what I've seen already, they just look stunning. We will be using Dan for all of our family photos in the future. Highly, highly recommend him! He was the best!!!

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!

I have done two couples shoots with Andie, The first was in the spring at Detroit Lake, Oregon. The…read moresecond was a maternity shoot at Cannon Beach. I've worked with a ton of photographers as a model and she has been one of my absolute favorites to work with ever! Not only is she so kind and professional, but she is amazing at directing my husband (Who is not used to getting his picture taken) and I together. The pictures of us are absolutely stunning and the maternity pictures specifically our ones I will cherish forever. I believe she truly captured the love and connection my husband and I share. I can't wait to make an album of them to show my kids. I would absolutely recommend Andie as a photographer to anyone!!

I don't even know where to being. Andie truly made our wedding planning process a dream come true…read more We were lucky enough to shoot our engagement photos with Andie at Mount Baker in Washington State. My husband who is normally very uncomfortable with taking photos felt so at ease working with Andie. She is so easy going and provided such a safe space to work during her sessions. We only got about halfway through our session when it started raining and we were covered in clouds forcing us to end the shoot early. Andie being the gem that she is offered to do a sunrise shoot for us at a secondary location the next day before she left town. This completely turned around what would have been an unfortunate situation and we loved the shots we got at the secondary location! Fast forward to our wedding planning process and my husband and I knew we wouldn't want anyone other than Andie to capture our day. We brought up the idea of an elopement in the Dolomites and she immediately said yes. She was only going to have three days to fit this in and she still agreed! Leading up to the trip she set up calls to discuss locations, planned out timelines and conducted tons of research to make our days as as smooth as possible! By the end of the trip we ended up shooting at over six different locations all throughout the Dolomites. Although the weather in September is thought to be the most predictable we found that to be incorrect during our time there. A week before our elopement a snowstorm brought in over a foot of snow. Andie was super flexible and went along with a constantly changing timeline with the goal of getting as many locations in as we could while the weather was nice. Andie became a member of the family this trip, even joining us outside of shooting times. That's just how incredible of a person she is, every member of my family enjoyed her so much we wanted to include her in everything! I could go on and on about how our trip would not have been the same without her, and now we have photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. She even was able to get our gallery back to us in a month, after shooting at that many locations. We got sneak peaks back within days and were completely shocked at her turnaround time even with her busy schedule. If you are looking for a photographer for a special event in your life, book Andie.

Honestly, the…read morebazaar was a little tacky and over-the-top for us, but we did find AVW Photography, which made the whole exhausting day worth it! Amy was like shelter in the storm! Her humor and warmth made us come back to her booth twice, and while the gorgeous photos she had displayed were very impressive, it was her personality that totally won us over. Your photographer is someone you spend a LOT of time with on your wedding day, and the idea that we might really like ours was very appealing. So we booked Amy, and I am so thrilled that we did! She was super fun, very professional, and gave us absolutely stunning images. We got over 1000 images, 17 were "enhanced" with these gorgeous effects, and best of all, we got digital images, so we can print and email them as we please! Our whole experience with her was amazing. We still get compliments on the photos, and friends and family comment on how dedicated she was to getting The Shot! I have six albums on facebook of photo highlights, since I just couldn't narrow down any more. If you are a same-sex couple and, like us, like to see that your potential vendor works with couples like you, fear not! Amy was the perfect choice for us, and we recommend her without hesitation :)

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!

She was tremendously professional and a joy to work with, and the lighting she and her husband arranged was exceptional, even poetic!! We hired her to photograph Cassidy when she was out in Los Angeles, and Cassidy loved every minute of the photoshoot. This husband and wife team both have such a wonderful way with children and immediately put Cassidy at ease. The result --- the best photos we have ever seen! Truly, even if you don't know our little girl, you'd stop and pause at the photos we had her company enlarge and posted right by the front door. They are truly museum quality: engaging, eccletic, charming and inviting. Just what we wanted. We can't wait to hire Earthdarling Portraits next year, and look forward to adding to our wonderful shots.
