Here are the reasons why I think of Connie for every event I have need of a photographer. First and foremost, she has a very easy, confident way about her that makes you feel the same when you are in front of her camera. That's ease results in relaxed, natural and personality filled photos and her eye for the right moment and the best frame are spot on. There are always more than enough good pictures to choose from. And she is professional and respectful to both the people she's shooting and the sometimes aggressive photographers she's beside. Thank you Connie for always being there for me! BTW she is also a very talented art photographer and I have no doubt could be of benefit as a photographer no matter what the need. read more

I have now worked with Kurtew Photography for almost 4 years. Both as an event photographer for our organization Outfest, and as a photographer for head-shots and product shots. Connie has talent and a sharp eye and takes time to listen to the needs we have for each event to make sure that she is capturing the best possible images not only in terms of documenting an event, but so that we can effectively market and publicize it. That takes smart and attention to detail. She is always professional, fast and if needed can disappear into the background and get amazing candid shots. We will continue to work with Kurtew Photography and I highly recommend her! read more

I have used Kurtew Photography for several jobs. A few events/after parties, and for a vintage photo shoot with models to create marketing materials. She is extremely professional, and a joy to work with. She not only got all the shots I needed in both cases, but worked so well with even reluctant people at our after party. She made everyone feel comfortable, and like they looked their best. On the marketing shoot I hired her, and an additional photographer. She took gorgeous photos, and coordinated so well with the other photographer. They both made the shoot go quickly and smoothly. I would highly recommend her. read more

I am now part of the Connie Kurtew fan club. I'd seen her working at various events around Los Angeles, so when it came time for the world premiere of my new film I thought I'd try her out myself. She always had a smile on her face, and everyone was happy to say hi and give her a hug. Hmmm - talented and nice - I can go for that. Long story short, she worked my event, got amazing photos on the red carpet and after-party, and turned out to be one of the kindest, most generous and professional women I'd ever had the pleasure of working with. read more

Connie has the natural ability to bring out the essence of a person in the photos she takes. She has done several photo shoots of my family and has taken many portraits of just myself. It is remarkable how she turns ordinary people into extraordinary photos. I have been to many places with her where she shoots landscapes and am always surprised in the beauty she captures in nature. I am always surprised by the finished work. I am very pleased with all the work she has done. I highly recommend her to anyone needing professional photographs. read more

I've had many head shot sessions with multiple photographers and none have compared to the work of Connie Kurtew. She has an uncanny ability to pull out the essence of one's authentic nature. I love my new head shots. They are edgy yet professional. They are creative with great attention to composition and detail. She made me feel very comfortable and confident. I will definitely recommend Connie to all my friends and colleagues. read more

I LOVE working with Connie! She is a pro! I worked with her after recently moving to LA for pics to update my website. As an actor, I'm not a big fan of 'headshot day' or getting pics taken, but Connie got to know me as a person and just helped me relax and then play around so I was able to get a wide range of shots to use. Her easy going charm and friendly demeanor make Connie my 'go to' when it comes to photography! read more

We hired Kurtew Photography for an A-List event in Santa Monica to shoot the red carpet. She arrived early and took additional photos of the location and was friendly and easy to work with. Her pictures were stellar and she is a professional with celebrities. I would highly recommend her for your next event! read more
