I was a bit worried about the awkwardness of doing the session alone, but it turned out that Sonja is very good at making me feel comfortable in front of her and her camera! It was also very impressive to me that she immediately grasped the types of photos I wanted after I showed her a few examples! And she knew the area well; she knew where and how to take photos that I would love! Overall, highly recommend Sonja for your photo sessions!

We are absolutely thrilled with the way she captured our day. She was there from the getting ready photos through our reception and did not miss a moment. She perfectly captured our love and personalities in a completely natural way. Plus, she got so many great candids of our guests that we would have missed otherwise in the blur of the day. She did a great job location scouting and had so many ideas for shots that we would not have considered on our own. We were very impressed with her professionalism are beyond pleased with her beautiful work!! Thank you, Sonja!!

My family and I recently had our family portrait taken with Joanna at her studio and had a…read morewonderful experience and beautiful photos we'll cherish forever. Joanna's a fantastic photographer! She's professional, has an eye for detail, listens to you, easy going, and fun to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great photoshoot experience and here's why. Prior to the day of our photoshoot, Joanna walked us through details to help us understand what to expect, while listening to our ideas of what we were hoping to capture from the photoshoot as well. She helped us design our coordinating outfits, (as I didn't realize so much goes into that!), and we discussed the "day of" expectations. It was helpful for me, as I am a detail person, and wanted to be absolutely prepared for my husband, young son, and I. On the day of our photoshoot, we were excited, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous, but the moment we stepped foot in Joanna's studio we really felt like stars. Joanna put lovely details into her studio and it makes you feel comfortable and glamorous at the same time. I honestly believe that speaks to Joanna as a photographer as well. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera so we could have real smiles and just be ourselves. I feel she actually captured us being us in that moment, but in a studio with lights and a camera. We had so much fun! When the shoot was over, we actually wished we could do more, but will have to save those ideas for a future family photo with Joanna.

During our session we were a little worried that there wouldn't be anything good because our just-turned-two-year-old was being so, shall we say, energetic. Boy were we wrong! Joanna captured so many beautiful moments that we will treasure for a lifetime. She knew just how to handle a little one with a short attention span, keeping things cheerful and adjusting the pace as needed to keep everyone happy. We used the photos on our Christmas cards and our friends and family have been ooohing and aaahing over the pictures, too!

We were initially very excited to book Madeline for our wedding; however, we were ultimately…read moredisappointed with the quality of the photographs delivered. The images did not meet the standard presented on her website. The attention to detail was lacking, and we had to request multiple rounds of edits. Even after revisions, we remained dissatisfied. Much of the "editing" appeared to consist primarily of applying black-and-white filters, and we had to specifically request that distracting objects and people be removed to make several photos usable. Key moments were not captured effectively. During our vows, Madeline photographed from the opposite end of the room, resulting in guests' heads occupying a large portion of the frame while my partner and I appeared too distant for our faces to be clearly visible. Unfortunately, none of the vow photos are suitable for display, which is particularly disappointing given their significance. The speeches were similarly problematic. Rather than centering the speakers, many photos are dominated by blurred foregrounds of other guests, leaving no clear, display-worthy images from this part of the evening. We also received fewer than ten photos of just the bride and groom, while a single guest playing the saxophone was photographed extensively. Additionally, although we requested family photos, only one was taken, and it included a bright neon orange bag in the center of the image. This, too, required us to request an edit--something we would expect a professional photographer to notice and address independently. When we raised these concerns, Madeline did not take accountability and instead attributed the issues to her photographic style and to a lack of communication on our part. As a result, we will need to re-stage and re-photograph our vows with another professional photographer. Wedding photos should be something a couple looks back on with happiness; unfortunately, this was not our experience. We would not recommend hiring Madeline. The two-star rating reflects that a small number of the photos did turn out well.

I needed some pictures of me going Thai Yoga Bodywork for website building, so we set up an hour-long block of time in one of the studios, spent about a half-hour shooting, and ended up with 148 photos that are ALL excellent. I'm so impressed with Angela's accessibility, professionalism, and efficiency. She was incredibly easy to work with. The atmosphere was never rushed, stressed, or pressured. I couldn't believe how much material I got for how little "work" it felt like! Angela has so much experience in so many types of photography, but her own voice shines through in clear uncluttered images where the subjects really speaks.

As a documentary photographer who has published her own book and worked for the NYTimes, she brings a sense of narrative to her work, and her subjects are captured in meaningful, expressive ways.

We're so excited to be the first to review DnK Photography!! It doesn't get any more complicated…read morethan this... Dan and Karin are AMAZING. Their work is AMAZING, their style is AMAZING, the experience you will have with them will be AMAZING. Where do I start...? We have had DnK shoot photos for us about 5 times now and the results have been superb every time! When we first met DnK we were looking for a wedding photographer. We met with about half a dozen photographers in the Twin Cities and DnK were the only ones who seemed to be really enthusiastic about our big day. That was a big plus, of course, but even better than that they went out their way to understand our ideas for the big day even though it was just our initial meeting and we hadn't made any commitments to them yet. My wife and I got a of confidence, very quickly, that they would do a fantastic job for us. The wedding photos turned out perfectly, better than we could have hoped. We had a lot of ideas ourselves but Dan and Karin both came up with really fun and cool ideas on the fly, all of which came out wonderfully. Dan is great at the action shots and coming up with unique ideas in real time as he sees folks interacting and moving around. Karin's portraits and group shots are second to none and her detail shots are sensational. Together they make such a great team and compliment each other really well. We also had the videography option too and that also blew us away. On the big day Dan and Karin were on time (important! :o) and they did a great job or organizing everyone. They kept us on track but at the same time made everyone feel at ease and just helped us enjoy ourselves! (Personally, I don't really like having my photo taken, so the idea of wedding and family photos was enough to make me cut straight to the booze at the reception but DnK managed to take all my nerves away and I really did enjoy myself. It was like magic! Ha!) Immediately after the wedding, on the Monday, we did a "Trash the Dress" shoot at the MN State Fair. Let me tell you - it was a BLAST! Despite it being hot, with hundreds of being constantly surrounding us... it was SO MUCH FUN!! DnK's photos of this shoot were every bit as good as the wedding itself! In fact, in summer several of our photos were used by the Fair as a promo for the event!! How cool!? Since the wedding we have been back again and again. My wife is a musical theatre actress, she has had them shoot her promotional shots for her website and they also shot the photos for a production at The MN History Theatre which have been used two years in a row by the theatre. I could go on and on... but I'll close by saying this: Give DnK a chance, they won't let you down. They will give you incredible value and you will LOVE the results!! Next stop... Pregnancy photos please Dan and Karin! Then baby photos! Then... well, you get the picture... :o)

When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find pictures that I connected with. I ran…read moreacross DnK's website. I hadn't seen their advertisements, or website or rankings on wedding sites, so I was a half heartily looking at their pictures, but I fell in love with their photos. That was in 2010, they've been nominated for all sorts of stuff now because they deserve it! As luck would have it, they were available the day we needed! So we met to interview them and I walked out of there and told my fiance at the time - there is no need to interview anyone else. I want them. They were so prepared when we met, but prepared like photographers are, somewhat disorganized, but they knew were everything was but totally on top of it. They were quit the duo to watch. They had their business side down, pricing was prepared, photos were in hand, they knew each others strengths so they let the other focus on their side of the business. We started asking all the "suppose to ask questions" wedding sites suggest you ask, but quickly just started talking. We connected, it was great. What really sold me was I asked "Come on, you have some crazy bridezilla moments, right?" The response was amazing after giggling at the question, "we haven't had any because those are not the types of brides we attract." - they said it much more professional though. The turn around time on the photos was as expected, email response was as expected (note brides - you are not the business's only customer, don't expect an answer for every little question within 24 hrs no matter the business you are talking to), but the quality of our photos by far surpassed expectations. The photo booth was a gem, the candid photos they caught captured the people's personality to a T. Most of all the photos of my husband and I captured our relationship and the mood of the day just perfectly.

In what might be the most uncomfortable of situations, she put me at ease, made me laugh and allowed me to feel as though I were spending time with a friend - as opposed to someone I'd met a matter of minutes before. Her ideas (lighting, positioning, backdrops) were FABULOUS, and the photos were absolutely GORGEOUS (if I'm allowed to say so ;). In my life, I have NEVER felt so beautiful and I am overwhelmed by the kindness Erin showed me in creating that feeling. She is SO talented and has SUCH a great eye...I wouldn't DREAM of using another photographer. If you haven't yet, I INSIST you check out her blog - her work speaks for itself.
