My underwater portrait session with the incredibly talented photographer. Alison Cotton was nothing…read moreshort of magical. From the moment we began, Alison created an atmosphere of calm and trust essential when working in such a unique and often challenging environment. Her professionalism and creativity were immediately evident, as she guided me through the session with gentle intuitive approach that made me feel completely at ease beneath the surface. Alison has an extraordinary eye for light, movement and emotion, capturing moments that felt dreamlike and ethereal. She gave clear reassuring direction while allowing space for spontaneity, which made the session feel both artistic and personal. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate the rhythm of the water transformed every frame into a work of art. The final images were beyond anything I imagined - beautiful, fluid, and soulful. Working with Alison wasn't just a photo shoot. It was an amazing experience that allowed me to see myself in a completely new way.

Alison and Bleu came to the hotel, set up a mini photo studio and worked all day taking shots. Alison and Bleu's terrific and easy going personalities relaxed the people so the photos captured them at their best. Lots of smiles! The service was outstanding, from the details of the pre-event planning until the actual day of the event, when they arrived and set up promptly on schedule. Created for a Fortune 50 consumer goods company, the conference was attended by the company's top international executives, whose experiences were overwhelmingly positive and they received excellent photos for their social and business media. I highly recommend Bleu Cotton Photography, and would work with them again in a heartbeat. Chris Madden Events Global Event Development and Management

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to Kayden Studios for…read morebeing our photographers at our wedding and engagement session. Kara and Denis are a fantastic duo and truly do a great job in capturing your special images throughout your day. Having only 3 months to plan a wedding is not a lot of time. In our case, we prayed that our decisions in the vendors we chose were the right ones and today we certainly and wholeheartedly can attest to that. As we reflect on the many decisions that we made as a couple, by far choosing the right quality photographer is the MOST important. Sure the dress, the venue, the cake, the caterer are all important details for the day, but your photographer is not just for the day, but for a lifetime. It's the best investment you will make. Kayden Studios works for your satisfaction and are most excellent on so many levels. They communicate at every step of the way and are reliable and trustworthy. We are incredibly satisfied with their professional work and feel blessed to have worked with such a stellar vendor. We know you too will have the same sentiment and experience!

Soon after my (now) husband and I got engaged, we began discussing how we would go about selecting…read morevendors for our big day. When it came to photography, we already had Kara and Denis (Kayden Studios) in mind. Kara and Denis had shot a wedding that my husband and I attended in October 2014 and we were blown away by the quality and the beauty of the photos. As our friends began to share their, "sneak peeks" on Facebook, I immediately headed over to the Kayden Studios page and liked it. Each photo was more stunning than the last and I simply couldn't get enough. Needless to say when it came time to select a photographer for our wedding it was a no brainer! We met with Kara and Denis and booked our wedding date. After meeting with Kara and Denis my husband and I knew that they were the perfect choice! They spent well over and hour sharing samples of their work, package pricing information, and just chatting with us. It was apparent that not only are they both incredibly talented, but they make it a priority to really get to know their clients and support them in any way possible. Kara provided me with continual support and advice as I planned the wedding, and Denis was always there to talk baseball with my husband while I asked Kara an endless amount of questions. (Ummm, awesome right?!) In addition to being amazing people, Kara and Denis provided many helpful tools that made planning the wedding and staying organized so much easier. Once we had met with our venue and the day of coordinator Kara worked to complete a day of photography timeline. This timeline was KEY. It allowed us to capture all of the photos that we were hoping for and it kept our wedding day moving along seamlessly. In addition to the detailed and super helpful timeline, Kara provides each of her clients with a detailed planning form that is easily submitted online. The form asks questions about everything from the wedding colors and the bride's style of dress to which photos the couple wants to make sure are captured on the big day. The form was extremely helpful and allowed me to really organize my thoughts and ideas. After I had submitted the form, my husband and I met with Kara and Denis one more time, a few weeks prior to the wedding, to go over every last detail and finalize our plan. Me being and incredibly Type A person, the timeline, planning form, and detailed meeting prior to the big day really put my mind and heart at ease. Kara and Denis shot our engagement photos in April 2015 and our wedding photos on November 14, 2015. The photos are simply INCREDIBLE. On the day of our wedding, Kara and Denis arrived early and ensured that everything ran according to our timeline throughout the entire day. They even stayed late to capture a few extra special shots of my husband and me in the barrel room. We never felt rushed and each special moment was captured flawlessly. Their level of expertise and professionalism is simply off the charts. We recently received our wedding photos and we can't stop looking at them. They are so beautiful and the perfect representation of our wedding day. My husband and I along with our bridal party were so comfortable around Kara and Denis that all of our personalities shined through and were captured in each photo. Our family and friends have been freaking out over how stunning the photos are and even my dad, who couldn't care less about photography and pictures, keeps saying how unbelievably beautiful they are. I HIGHLY recommend Kayden Studios for any special event or occasion. They will forever be my go to team for photography. Hands down, they deserve a 5 star rating. Thank you Kara and Denis for going above and beyond to make my husband and I feel so special and supported not only during our engagement session and on our wedding day, but during the months of planning that fell in between it all. The photos, along with your kindness, guidance, and friendship mean the absolute world to us!

Before session: I really appreciated how Elaine sent me clothing color palettes and location suggestions with pictures. So helpful & telling of how organized Elaine is. I really wanted those cute outdoor pics but I was hesitant about being outdoors with my newborn in the cold. We decided on lifestyle pictures! During session: Elaine was so patient and did such a great job taking pictures of my little man. She didn't have much to work with in our tiny apartment but she worked her magic and gave us beautiful pictures to cherish foreverrrr! After session: I didn't know my baby could be any cuter! We received our pictures in less than a week and had enough time to send out last-minute Christmas cards! My favorite part about Elaine other than her easy-going personality & lovely soul? Her love for the LORD! Highly recommend if you want a relaxed photo shoot with someone to capture your beautiful memories! Stop searching for a photographer and book Love Creates!

The photos came out way better than I could have ever imagined. It was the exact vibe I was hoping to achieve. They make me smile every time I look at them! I can't wait to take more photos with her again! * Scheduling: Elaine is knowledgeable of a variety of locations that would provide a comfortable space for us. She listened to our requests (city view shots) and even offered great back-up location suggestions. We took our photos during quarantine, and Elaine emphasized how great of an opportunity this would be to get the city shots because less people would be around. She was right! She had also did her research in knowing what time of the day would be best. Elaine was organized and punctual. * Outfits: Although I knew Elaine had a few outfit palette suggestions already, I had preferences of what to wear but just could not decide which one. She reminded me of different poses I would probably be doing, which helped narrowed down to an outfit I would be comfortable posing in! And I couldn't be more happier with the choice! * Photoshoot: Elaine came so prepared! She provided a handful of posing ideas and the whole thing was very fun! She said things that helped us feel more comfortable and less nervous about being in front of the camera. My fiancée and I ended up feeling like we were hanging just by ourselves and she was able to capture that for us!
